The leftists and Keynesians are already whining about how the Stimulus is working, just not exactly the way they expected. I keep hearing about a “jobless recovery” and yada, yada, yada and how I need to be patient for the job numbers to stop their free fall.
What they don’t get is that there is a reason for the lack of new jobs. It is the same reason employers had in the late 1930’s
The insufficiency of private investment from 1935 through 1940 reflected a pervasive uncertainty among investors about the security of their property rights in the capital and its prospective returns. This uncertainty arose, especially, though not exclusively, from the character of the actions of the federal government and the nature of the Roosevelt administration during the so-called Second New Deal.
Let business alone to do its thing and don’t do anything to make those with the capital not want to be Capitalists and things will even themselves out. Otherwise, you have to make up new phrases like “jobless recovery” to describe unnecessary situations.
And that is the end of our quotes from The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. Seriously, grabbing yourself up a copy is one of the few things where the phrase “for your own good” isn’t going to be something that harms you.
Want to retrofit your commuter car into a plug-in hybrid? Want to do it for less than $5000?
It fits into a wheel hub and can double a car’s fuel economy. That’s the claim of Dr. Charles Perry, who says his plug-in hybrid retrofit kit can save America 120 million gallons of fuel per day. Big talk. But then, inventors betting on revolutionary uphevals need to talk as big as they think. The former IBM electrical engineer designed the kit to transform existing automobiles into hybrids by placing an electric motor inside each wheel. Perry recently took first prize for his invention at a green energy competition at the Tennessee Technology Development Corp. The plan is to develop the kit into a product selling for between $3,000 and $5,000.
As part of the prize, Perry received a $50,000 grant, which will be matched by Palmer Labs LLC of Reston, Va., whose goal is to commercialize the invention.
Perry reiterates a common statistic that 80 percent of US drivers make daily trips of fewer than 30 miles at 40 miles per hour or slower. Such performance, he says, can be achieved by way of his 10-15 horsepower electric motors, which would be powered by extra batteries installed in a car’s trunk.
Perry will work with the Tennessee Technological University on a prototype, then plans to fit 30 state-owned vehicles with the kit for testing. The final stage would see the kits manufactured by Palmer Labs within three years.
This would be perfect for folks who drive a wagon type vehicle or compact truck to and from work (folks like me). If all you use it for is that, this’ll kick your weekly fuel bill to the curb. My employer is already thinking of offering outlets for plug-in owners, and if this gets down in the $3K range, I don’t know that we’ll have enough spots close to the building to accomodate everyone.
As in the number of sheep who have fallen for the Glowball Warmening hysteria will shrink?
The mysterious shrinking sheep of St Kilda sounds like a job for super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes.
The case involves a rare herd of wild sheep on the remote Scottish island - known in Scottish Gaelic as Hirta - that are refusing to bow to conventional evolutionary pressure, which says big is best. Instead, they have steadily decreased in size since the 1980s.
Scientists have now stepped in to solve the conundrum, and fingered the culprit as the new Moriarty of mankind: global warming.
OK, yeah. Or maybe the increasing population is causing a food shortage (which was the previous theory)?
While they’re hoping people don’t decide that pygmy sheep are cute, I’m waiting for the first case published case of Erectile Dysfunction to be placed on the climate.
And it’s time to rock! You want to buy the Flight 666 CD (or better yet, the utterly awesome DVD). Oh yes you do. I watched the film in HD recently in the comfort of my home, and not only has Bruce Dickinson’s voice improved with age, the sound quality crushes Live After Death, previously the best live rock album of all time, IMO. (Yes, that’s Bruce flying the plane, and the call sign was indeed Flight 666.)
You don’t want to know what I’ve been listening to as of late. While talented and groundbreaking, it is truly just a guilty pleasure that is truly degrading to admit to listening to.
So I’m gonna let y’all drop your suggestions as to what I should exchange said guilty pleasure for in the comments section.
I’m not turning down the sPaM blocker too far, so posting more than one url will probably get you blocked, but I will try an d keep up with the approvals so that everyone gets through.
Thanks.
So, I’m eating my dinner yesterday morning (turkey & swiss stacked think on wheat with a Deschutes Cinder Cone Red Ale) and I’m watching Obama’s fake “town hall” speech.
He gets done and says he’ll take questions. They make a big deal mentioning about how he’s never heard any of these questions beforehand.
However, there is a video question, kind of like the YouTube debate and even a 5th grader could tell that he knew the answer before he got the question, if you know what I mean.
The he takes a question from the audience. Not so oddly everyone you can see not in the audience is pointing towards this one woman. She apologizes for crying and I’m getting the deja vu off this like when he had people passign out at his campaign stops.
This woman proceeds to tell the worst horror story you can imagine, without bother the Obamessiah with too many details. He runs over to give her a hug and you can guess the sobfest that went on from there on out.
My first though was that if Bush’s people had planted someone that obvious at one of his town halls on the partial privatization of Social Security, the media would have owned him.
Well, even Helen Thomas saw through the format beforehand.
And Dan Riehl has the lowdown on the “anonymous” questioneer who just so happened to moderate a previous town hall for Obama.
Can you say Transparency Fail?
They called him “Silent Cal” because of his ability to be succinct. If he couldn’t say it with as few words as possible, he just didn’t say it.
I’m glad he spoke the truth here
If business can be let alone and assured of reasonable freedom from government interference and increased taxes, that will do more than all kinds of legislation to relieve depression.

This was the prominent idea in economics until the Progressives and Keynesians came along and monkey wrenched the world into government caused mega booms and mega busts.
Here in Washington, the state has a monopoly on the sale of liquor. And, like anything the government gets its hands on, they’ve screwed that up.
Don’t panic, but a glitch in the state’s liquor distribution system is leaving store shelves bare just in time for the Fourth of July holiday, this morning’s Seattle Times reports. State officials blame a problem with a new software system for the backlog of orders. (The bureaucratic equivalent of “the dog ate my homework.”)
You’d think that an half-empty warehouse a month ago would have been a big indicator that something was wrong. But no, the state waits until routeing order cannot be filled.
So, just like Nevada not being able to make a profit running a brothel, Washington can’t manage to keep product on the shelves of a liqor store.
I think that it is safe to say that Idaho, Oregon and Vancouver BC will be getting some extra business this weekend.
