We don’t want a repeat of FDR

Congress can’t solve problems it made (or made worse)

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 The Post-Dispatch took aim at President Obama’s $787 Billion “stimulus” package in this Sunday’s Editorial opinion segment titled “Lack of Stimulation” and rightly so.  Clearly it has not had the impact that we were led to believe it would have. …

The economy wasn’t a depression until Obama made it so

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Having learned nothing fron history, Congress debates spending

This is not the second coming of the Great Depression

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I salute the Post’s Tim Logan for being the first (and only) “mainstream” journalist I’ve encountered to present a calm, factual analysis of the current economic environment.
