Now let me talk about another case study of how upside-down and backward things are as a result of government intervention.  I’m talking about the residential real estate market.

Big Government does not work and will not work.  We have lost the purpose of the US Constitution as big government is not what America is all about! America is […]

As I watch the Presidential debates, I don’t really see a plan from any candidate that can bring us out of the hole.  The biggest problem, which is our debt, cannot be solved by spending cuts or revenue increases alone. I am a former Canadian, yet even I know it was not the intention of […]
