Jobs are discovered as individuals apply their talents to create products or services that other individuals desire. The goal is to produce wealth, not just show up for 8 hours and draw a check to be exchanged for the wealth that someone else generated.

But let’s not forget that the boom/bust cycle recurrently throws people out of work in our pseudo-capitalist economy. It is no wonder then that government grows under such circumstances.

The solution is liberty which is not a luxury at all; it is a necessity for prosperity.

Excellent work, Ilana, as always.

Mitt Romney is giving economic advice to his buddy, Barack. Yes, the empty suit from Chicago is getting words of wisdom from Mr. Plastic (R-Mass)himself.

We are doomed.

The government is great at creating Mickey Mouse sinecures for folks like Michelle O.

A $300 thousand a year job with the University of Chicago is a great gig for someone who cannot write a complete, coherent essay at university. http://isteve.blogspot.com/2008/02/michelle-obamas-thesis-unblockaded.html
