America..Fraught With Faults But Also Filled With Blessings

Monday, October 15th, 2007

I think most Americans believe that many chief executives are over paid and receive both retirement and compensation packages which are well outside the guidelines of most who devote the better part of their life to the workplace.

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

With the Democrat leadership in Congress saying they were going to “fix the economy” it appears there isn’t much to fix at least in the job sector, since we are at virtual full employment with a jobless rate of 4.4%.
