USA Marijuana for Profit.

Posted on August 30, 2010. Tags: Barack Obama, Marijuana, United States

It is obvious to many people that our nation is undergoing a change and we are trying to do so at a time of unparalleled debt. This can be a tricky thing to do. How can one manage the budget, fight multiple wars and have socially progressive programs? This seems like a recipe for disaster, bankruptcy and possibly far worse.

Target ♥ Emmer

I am not a law scholar. I do not pretend to be. I am just someone who tries to understand why the hell people do the stupid things that they do.

Normally, I would do some research on an issue and then give my two cents and move on. Living in MN we get a lot of the pro-ethanol propaganda and to be fair, I am not very knowledgeable on the subject.

Avoidable

It is almost the 4^th of July. It is getting hot outside and we had our first big thunderstorm of the year this past week. I love this time of the year. As we move forward celebrating another Independence Day I think it is appropriate to look at some current news stories affecting our nation.

To Float More Freely

Posted on June 22, 2010. Tags: China, economy, Free Trade, United States

I never took an economics course in college and this is something that I deeply regret. Recently, China announced that they would allow their currency (the Yuan) to float more freely. In their economy they have tighter controls and restrictions, specifically; they have artificially devalued their currency. This means that their Yuan is worth less then what it would be if they did not devalue it.

Halliburton Sold Nuclear Tech To Iran

This is thoroughly disgusting. It was bad enough that we went to war with Iraq almost solely to spur the defense industry. It is bad enough that we had a vice-president who was head of this company.

Fishing for Reform

Posted on April 23, 2010. Tags: Barack Obama, economy, Financial Market, Government, Reform, Tea Party, United States, Wall Street

Well, the first year or so of Obama’s administration has been interesting. The healthcare battle seems to finally be over as the Democrats have successfully pushed through the much needed reform bill. But, the war for reform has just begun and if the previous battle was any indication, it will not be easy.
