Mitt Romney was, in his business career, precisely one of these visionaries. He was part of the top echelon of managers who realized that the Reagan Revolution in policy necessitated a concomitant revolution in asset-allocation in business. [...]

CEI's experts give their analysis of President Obama's speech last night. [...] Romney and Gingrich are both fatally afflicted with challenges that are simply too easy for the President to exploit. With most of the nation stuck in neutral, the Republicans had better come up with something compelling beyond "the rich help create jobs" — or they are doomed. [...] Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are campaigning on the gold standard. South Carolina has a noble heritage when it comes to fighting paper money and standing for constitutional money with integrity: gold and silver. [...] Earlier this month Boeing announced that, due to costs, it would shut down its unionized plant in Kansas City. [...] I come from Generation X, and we are in the same boat financially as the Occupiers, if not worse off since we now have families and mortgages. But the answer is not more big government. The naive young Occupiers should not indebt future generations as was done to our generations. [...] If there is something troubling — or at least politically exploitable — in Romney’s returns, ’twere best it be known quickly. [...] Some on the right are too in love with big business in the name of creating jobs. [...] Had GM been allowed to do what Bain Capital knows how to do the government would not have had to step in and “saved” them with billions in unconstitutional spending. [...] Why does Congress get away with insider trading while Martha Stewart goes to prison? The practice of Congress exempting itself from laws that apply to the rest of us must come to an end or vote them all out. If anything, Congress should be held to higher ethical standards, not lower than the rest of [...] Events in New Hampshire suggest that Mitt Romney is emerging as America’s best hope of derailing the Obama march to totalitarianism [...] Wall Street has its share of miscreants, and they should be recognized as such when appropriate. But to abominate Mitt Romney for having been a success at the business of investing in struggling American companies, connecting entrepreneurs with capital and producers with markets, is foolish and destructive. [...] Doesn’t the government own enough Courthouses and buildings that have many empty rooms to hold meetings? Why do they need to go to a hotel? [...] The EPA is using and abusing its power. The EPA is currently empowered to bring unsubstantiated charges against every fracking operation in the US, thus delaying drilling and making it so expensive as to discourage further exploration. [...] The high-dollar donations keep rolling in to the Obama campaign from the highest of income earners. And this raises an important question for rich folks: if President Obama successfully breaks the backs of the working middle class, is that really good for you? [...] The graph or scale of conservatism has been sliding to the left for a long time. Conservatism and capitalism suffered a severe blow when our idiot politicians agreed to the Obama Social Security Tax Cuts for 60 days. Social Security does not have enough money to pay for its obligations. [...] General Motors stock finished dead last of all car-related stock in 2011. [...] Author Daniel Yergin writes about the correlation between terrorism and oil. [...] It's past time for Congress to "tear up" the U.S. Treasury's credit cards. [...] These clowns in Washington signed a bill that will stimulate the economy with about $40 billion dollars we don’t have! That is only for 60 days of stimulation. [...] The amount of government assistance does not include the fact that General Motors is currently 26 percent owned by the federal government. [...] Just about everyone who pays taxes will receive this $40 billion dollar bonanza for TWO MONTHS. But the folks who are forced to take out a mortgage or refinance will be saddled with paying for this $40 billion dollars for a long time. [...] With the dollar in crisis worldwide, Forbes’ editor-in-chief Steve Forbes has called for escalating the discourse from “whether” we should restore the gold standard to “how” to do so. [...] How many bureaucrats does it take to screw up the light bulb? [...] It’s time to start getting honest about a very simple fact: Nobody, but nobody, really believes in free markets. That’s right. Not the Republican Party, not the libertarians, not the Wall Street Journal, nobody. [...] |
