Reality or Illusion? - Can Wanting to Believe Make It So?
Not since the Civil War has the country been this split, with half believing that the economy is fully recovering and the other half insisting that calamity is just around the bend.

European Union QE Will Disappoint
It doesn't matter if the ECB votes yes or no to QE, the EU is doomed either way. Many QE addicts are betting on an enormous QE package coming out of the EU. They're recalling the effects of the US style QE and salivating at the chance to replay the dream again via the EU. They will lose a ...More...
Why Should the Government Assist US Auto Manufacturers?
As a lifelong resident of Michigan, I was raised with the belief that we must purchase only those automobiles produced by an American car company (yes, even if some parts were made in foreign countries). To this day, I still hold that belief due to the fact that I find it incomprehensible to allow m...More...

Lessons From Ireland on Economic Growth
For most of the past 300 years or so Ireland has had the dubious distinction of being a country more known for the hardships suffered by its inhabitants than for its beautiful countryside. While people in other parts of the United Kingdom and in Europe enjoyed a relatively high standard of living Ir...More...
International Industrial Development Is Leading to World Unification
International alliances will become increasingly centered on specific long term goals of industrial production and distribution and less on military or ideological needs as was the case in the 20th century.

Unemployment Rates Increasing - What's the Way Out?
It seems as if recession is not in a mood to leave. It has arrived predator-like and growling, just as a lion would haunt its area, through around 50% of American households. These influenced households stand on the losing end of a frightening dream....More...
Dagong It - China Has Threatened to Lower Us Debt Rating without a Near Term Debt Limit Deal

The Trouble With Using TARP For the Current US Auto Industry Bailout
The Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) was set up by the United States Government as part of its response to the (almost) Wall Street crash of autumn 2008.

The Business of Education in America
The education system is being divided on the basis of ability to pay banks. The nations needs are becoming secondary to those of financial institutions. The wealthy are using the very model to prepare their children for college that the federal government is rejecting for main stream America. Why is...More...
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Why Wall Street imploded in just a few days? Who is really to blame? Why won't it be fixed for years? How can you turn straw into gold? When everyone else is moaning about their lost jobs, their decimated savings and plummeting portfolios and their foreclosed homes, those who have learned a few...More...
The US Economy and the Crash of 2008 in Laymen's Terms
There has been a whole lot of talk about the stock market crash and whereas folks pretty much understand the real estate market crash, because their homes are worth less than they owe on them; still, many people do not get the stock market crash or even why it crashed.

Is Raising Minimum Wage Going To Help Us?
My profession is not studying the economy, but I can definitely see all the pros and cons pertaining to raising minimum wage.

Are Stressed Municipality Budgets and Legacy Costs Affecting Our Water Treatment Facilities?
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is quite serious when it comes to its NPDES permitting and its rules for sewer treatment plants or POTW's.
