A Mid-Term Ballot Initiative That Deserves Our Attention
I have often taken big labor unions to task for trying to pass the insidious “card check” bill that would deprive workers of their constitutional right for secret ballots when it comes to voting for unionization. Despite the fact that less than 7.5% of private workers now wear the union label, they’ve been able to get the Obama Administration behind this terrible piece of doomed legislation. That is why it is important to keep your eyes on... Read More

US Chamber’s Bruce Josten: Concerned Obama’s Decision to Demonize Chamber will only Punish Small Business and Slow Job Creation
Neal Asbury opened the show by wondering why the Obama administration is willing to “throw small business under the bus” so that Democrats can save their skin by not voting to extend the Bush tax cuts. “Most legislators in this country agree that small business is the lifeblood of job creation. So I’m having a hard time understanding why Democrats are choosing to run for the hills rather than extend the Bush tax cuts which would give small... Read More
Federal Commissioner Paul Anderson: When a Party Takes Back the House They Also Take Back the Senate
Joining the show as a returning guest was A. Paul Anderson, Senior Fellow at United States Congress, Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure and a former Commissioner-Designated Chairman at the Federal Maritime Commission .

The Myth of Free Trade
The concept of free trade is like a unicorn, they are lovely things to imagine but they don’t exist. The barriers posed by foreign governments, whether in the form of tariffs, currency manipulation, excessive bureaucracy, product certifications, market distortions, corruption, or (as is usually the case) some combination of all of these, make it impossible for a seller of a product in one country to easily market that product in another country....

Why Are We Nuts About Sanctions?
In the past fifty years, the United States has enacted more sanctions than any country. In fact, no one comes remotely close. We have sanctioned more than 80 countries over 175 times. If we include “soft” sanctions such as denying export financing through EXIM Bank, the number would be much higher. Our sanctions threaten two-thirds of the world’s population. Over half our sanctions have occurred in the last decade. We have gone... Read More

Small Businesses Being Thrown Under the Bus While Dems Try to Save Their Own Skins.
Most legislators in this country agree that small business is the lifeblood of job creation. So I’m having a hard time understanding why Democrats are choosing to run for the hills rather than extend the Bush tax cuts which would continue to provide small business the money they need to grow and hire. Democrats are hiding because they want to postpone any action on extending the tax cuts until after the November election as they are scared it... Read More
Job Growth Going in the Wrong Direction
For some time I’ve been suggesting that the unemployment rate is higher than what is announced by the Obama Administration. I had it pegged at closer to 20 percent when you factor in those who are under-employed or just stopped looking. Now a September Gallup Poll bears out my contention that the stimulus package has failed to create jobs, and unemployment is heading up, not down. The Gallup Poll has found that unemployment is at 10.1% in September,... Read More
