The Bob Davis Podcast

Podcast 170

Top stories updates. Get your July4th week started off right with updates on the top stories. Chaos on the Rio Grand, as illegal immigrants storm across our unprotected border, and a new study shows almost all the new jobs since 2000 have gone to immigrants legal and illegal. The inequality story line being advanced by Joseph Stiglitz now dissing his hometown of Gary, Indiana. By the way, what policies encourage inequality? Where was Minnesota Senator Al Franken while President Obama visited the liberal bastion of Lake Harriet, in Minneapolis last week? You’d think a Senator who voted with the president 100 percent of the time would want to be seen with his hero, but no. Franken wasn’t with the president at the town meeting, or at his speech at the ‘castle shaped’ Lake Harriet Band Shell. How about that! Plus what’s this election about? Economic Growth!

Economy News. The US Economy Contracts 2.9 Per Cent. The ‘economy’ is back at the top of the page as final revised numbers for the 1st quarter indicate a shocking contraction in US GDP. Will the second quarter be better, the same or worse? If you listen to the mainstream media, the White House and the  financial channels, you’d think it’s all because of the polar vortex and the long winter. Is it? Or is it due to reductions in investment, the creation of part time jobs, Obamacare, higher corporate taxes, new tax policy implementation and generally misdirected or confused economic policy by President Obama and the Democrat Congress before 2010? What kind of economic policy does the US need to achieve dynamic and rapid economic growth? How are democrats and republicans off in the weeds, with seemingly no idea how to achieve such growth. What do voters need to do to get things righted in 2014? It’s all here in one little podcast! Sponsored by Baklund R & D.

Podcast consciousness! Walking a tightrope between podcasts that are too political and not political enough. How are podcasts different from broadcast talk radio? What are the advantages and disadvantages for Podcasters and Broadcasters? Feedback from friends and listeners on why they like the ‘update’ style podcasts, plans for future podcasts, why the world isn’t cooperating on ‘happy talk’ and what Bob Davis does when the day-to-day news starts wearing a little thin. So in this update, transhumanism, the folly of ‘Gluten Free’, Lactose Intolerance, technology free summer camps for adults, the UN getting involved in water bill disputes in Detroit, the idiot who robbed a house in South Saint Paul and logged on to his FaceBook account, and left it up when he left the house he’d just robbed,  and one little major story update.
