An excellent bit of media. Accurate, and entertaining…and very, very scary. The ideas of John Maynard Keynes and their implementation by politicians looking only as far as the next election, in my very own opinion, has led our economy to the brink of collapse. Even though he’s quite dead, he’s “still around”…Barrak Obama [...]

JS Kim is a financial forecaster that you will NOT hear on MSNBC. Unfortunately, he is also probably right. He correctly called the 2008 financial debacle, and does not see that the actions of our government or our banks have improved our situation…only band-aided it. Today, I am redirecting our readers to [...]
Not Just Another Levy
or Why Battle Ground School District Needs and Deserves Our Help
BY: MICHAEL FROME 01.19.2010
Our Battle Ground School District, like many regular people just like me, has seen a serious reduction in revenue this past year. The year 2009 was quite unkind to the US economy. Many of us have experienced the pain [...]

A quick side note by Yours Truly. Jon is using federal Department of Labor “U3″ statistics. They are inaccurate, and are only good for a benchmark against the recent decade. A better measure is the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ “U6″, which includes discouraged and marginally attached workers. It is higher, [...]

A brief piece about (and to) our Esteemed Representative of Washington’s 3rd District. I don’t always agree with Dr. Baird, but he has demonstrated considerable courage and consideration in not allowing himself to be railroaded into thoughtless acquiescence by the Democratic Party Leadership on this health care nonsense.
I want to thank Congressman [...]
Today I’d like to simply put forth several articles from a favorite web site of mine, www.seekingalpha.com. These articles are written by a few authors who I have a great deal of respect for. They all relate to our economy…which, despite the spin-n-grin coming out of DC, is not in good shape and is not [...]

This article started out as a satire…how far can we go…how about Fairness in Pet Health Care? Oh my gosh, what a difference two months can make! I’ve bumped this article back up to the top of this blog, and added a video from Rep. Manzullo…guess what crept into the latest version of [...]

Last Chance, folks, HR3200 is going up for a vote next week. It ain’t about health care, it is about Big Brother. Don’t believe it? Check out Title IV, Subtitle A, Section 401, which is language that will get stuck in IRS Code Section 59B. Don’t like what the feds want to make [...]

A tremendous deficit, Social Security raided, Medicare and Medicaid broken. Businesses taxed to the point that it is far better to send jobs overseas, putting Americans out of work. The ‘Made in the USA’ label virtually a thing of the past. An education system, welfare system, and health care system in need of repair. [...]
Jon Russell is running for Washington State’s 3rd district House seat. His message as a Constitutionalist goes beyond just our neck of the woods, though. This is the kind of person we need to stick in Congress in order to “Take Back Our Republic”.
It is super-duper high time to write all our Reps (again), now that the Senate health care bill is gelling. I’ll be dipped if this gets jammed down my throat without even a gag reflex!

I hesitated and almost didn’t post the column that I wrote yesterday. [definitely worth a read -ed] It was a little more personal than most. I finally decided the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.
The main reason is that I feel it is necessary to answer those who try to criticize the ideas I present [...]
