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.

President Obama has been personally ‘stung’ by his foreign policy critics and makes a series of speeches and appearances to ‘address’ those critics directly. Is this a wise political move? What are the top issues in the 2014 election cycle? Do they have anything to do with foreign policy. Are the president’s critics warmongers? Does the criticism have to do with the president’s decision making process and consensus approach to reacting to Syria, Libya, Ukraine and terrorists? When is it appropriate to question the White House conduct of Foreign Policy? If the people of the United States are focused inward, can the president’s economic policies be blamed? What about the rest of the world — becoming concerned about over-capacity and deflation? These are the issues that ought to be on the front burner in the foreign policy debate few people have indicated interest in. Sponsored by Baklund R & D.

Almost 5 billion dollars given to states to research and create health care exchanges, and already half a billion has been wasted on wash out health exchanges in Massachusetts, Oregon, Nevada and Maryland. Also on the problem list? Hawaii and Minnesota. Brings new meaning to the phrase ‘throwing money down a rat hole”. What has 100 billion dollars in debts and a failing business model? Why the US Post Office, that’s what. The poster children for why central – or federal – government funded programs are a mistake. Amtrak, the US Post Office and of course Obama Care. Meanwhile, more companies are fleeing the high tax, heavily regulated environments in California … and the United States … and England benefits. Who won the revolution? As the Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi incident and its coverup by the White House is empaneled, the left wing media suddenly starts talking about the potential impeachment of President Obama. Is it a good idea politically? And, if Pope Francis doesn’t like Harvard’s Black Mass, why is he listening to the Devil on economic policy? Sponsored by Ryan Plumbing and Heating of Saint Paul.
