Akron Beacon Journal… Poll: Powerful incentive
November 26, 2012 - The Department of Energy and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory recently declared wind “a credible source” of new electricity generation for the country. Their report noted that wind power has grown dramatically, prices falling by 20 percent to 30 percent the past four years. Only natural gas has added more electricity capacity since 2006. The development of wind power brings benefits in the form of cleaner energy and a more diverse set of energy sources, among other things ... read more

Townhall Finance… It's the Grand Spending, Stupid!, by Bob Beauprez
Supposedly there are grand negotiations ongoing in Washington in search of a grand bargain to avoid a grand calamity - pushing the nation over the fiscal cliff. It appears, however, that whatever discussion is really happening is focused on how much additional "revenue" to extract from taxpayers' pockets instead of how strict of a diet to impose on the federal government. The Democrats are obsessing about raising tax rates, while the GOP talks about ... read more
Mail Magazine 24… Poll: More Americans Blame Republicans For Fiscal Cliff Impasse, by Bright Knight
Here we go again! Whatever happens benefits the Failure-in-Chief: if it goes wrong, the Republicans are blamed and if it works the Failure-in-Chief gets the merit. There is NO chance that Obama will move one inch toward the Republicans. Why should he? It works perfect for him the way it is. This is just freaking unbelievable! I mentioned it before and I finally think it might be the best solution: the GOP should have a press conference and tell the American people that the Failure-in-Chief... read more

Redstate… A Primer for Rich Donors Who Got Taken by Republican Consultants
By Erick Erickson - November 27th, 2012 - When consultants told rich donors who were funding them that they were not making money off the Super PAC’s that the rich idiots . . . er . . . donors funded, they were being honest. They probably were not. But ad heavy Super PACs outsourced the ad buys, the mail, the data collection, etc. to other groups that got commissions and you can be sure that a lot of these supposedly... read more
Mail Magazine 24… Can America Handle The Truth? by Jeff Greenlee
The United States of America is at a tipping point. It is past time we are told the truth and begin to solve the problems. The time for false hopes, hugs, and feel-good can-kicking is over. The talk is all about the ‘fiscal cliff’ and whether or not we can figure out a bipartisan solution to the economic realities that are going to happen sooner rather than later. The Benghazi scandal and the true motives of abandoning our own brave Americans in a time of need are undergoing a huge whitewash. The number of... read more

Townhall… Minorities Disproportionately Worse Off Under Obama, by Rachel Alexander
Nov 25, 2012 - It is puzzling that so many minorities voted for Barack Obama over Mitt Romney considering how disproportionately they have suffered economically during Obama's presidency. Black unemployment under Obama increased at a higher pace than whites, from 12.7% to 14.1%, ending at almost twice the unemployment rate of whites. Now, one out of every seven blacks is unemployed. White unemployment barely increased under Obama... read more

Townhall Finance… Let's Tax Matt Damon, by John Ransom
In the name of shared sacrifice, it’s time to impose a tax on the $7 billion in box office receipts that Hollywood generates. I added up the domestic box office activity for the week August 26 through September 1st based on figures provided by Variety. The take for the week for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Our Idiot Brother, Spy Kids: All The Time In The World, plus 130 other box office leaders was $136 million.

Mail Magazine 24… How the public education system has failed Black and Hispanic students
In America's public high schools, 45% of black students and 43% of Hispanics (as compared to 22% of whites) drop out before their classes graduate. Dropout rates are especially high in urban areas with large minority populations, including such academic basket cases as the District of Columbia (57%), Trenton (59%), Camden (61.4%), Baltimore (65.4%), Cleveland (65.9%), and Detroit (75.1%). Of those black and Hispanic students who do manage to earn a diploma, a large percentage... read more

Mail Magazine 24… Jobless Claims Over 400k For Second Week, by Bright Knight
Don't think even for a minute that this will be getting better soon. People will learn that elections have consequences. Unfortunately it doesn't hit just the Obama-voters but everyone is hurt. John Nolte writes at Breitbart: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistic, for the second week in a row, over 400,000 new jobless claims were filed across the country. Last week the number was 451k, this week it's 410k, and as we saw last week, most of the blame is falling on Hurricane Sandy. Last week the... read more
Townhall Finance… Higher Taxes Mean Bigger Government, not Lower Deficits, by Daniel J. Mitchell
President Obama and other statists in Washington want a big class-warfare tax hike. They claim the additional revenue is necessary to reduce red ink. But their ideological crusade is based on some blatant distortions. They tell us that tax increases are necessary, but even CBO data shows that the budget can be balanced in just 10 years if politicians merely limit federal spending so that it grows by “only” 2.5 percent per year. They tell us the “rich” should pay more, but we know upper... read more

Ronald Reagan and What I Got Wrong. By Erick Erickson
November 20th, 2012 Every person who talks and writes about politics gets stuff wrong. I’ve gotten my fair share wrong. But what I think I got most wrong in Campaign 2012 was the damage Mitt Romney’s “47%” remark would do to him. It may seem obvious, but bear with me. Mitt Romney was talking off the cuff to a supposedly off the record group of donors and muddled several data points together, ultimately telling the tale of the 47% who won’t vote for him for... read more
Toledo Blade… Get that degree
Editorial - Only 26 percent of Ohio adults have a four-year college degree, compared with 31 percent nationwide. Each percentage point by which the state lags the national rate costs the Ohio economy an estimated $2.5 billion a year. By 2018, a recent study projects, this state will have nearly a million new jobs that will require education after high school. If Ohio is to remain competitive in the national and global economies, it will have to graduate more of its residents from college, and keep more of... read more

Townhall Finance… How the Mainstream Media Finally Drove Me Mad. By Ann-Marie Murrell
Sex.

Mail Magazine 24… CEOs Warn Obama of Dangers Posed by Fiscal Cliff, by Tony Lee
Twelve prominent CEOs, many of whom have warned against the dangers of raising taxes on those making over $250,000 and creating more economic uncertainty, met with President Barack Obama on Wednesday to discuss the looming fiscal cliff. There were no CEOs from defense-related industries at the meeting, even though sequestration will occur if no deal is reached on the budget during Congress's lame-duck session. The group included prominent donors to Democrats and Republicans... read more

Townhall… Both Sides Must Give Ground To Avoid Fiscal Cliff, by Michael Barone
Nov 19, 2012 - In his first formal press conference in months, Barack Obama showed that getting re-elected can increase a president's confidence and combativeness. He staked out tough stands on several issues, especially on the looming budget negotiations. Looking ahead to the "fiscal cliff" on Dec. 31, when the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts expire and sequestration cuts government spending sharply, Obama demanded $1.6 trillion of increased revenues as... read more
Townhall… The Obama Recession, by John C. Goodman
Nov 17, 2012 - Full time work is about to get scarcer. The reason? By hiring part-time workers who put in less than 30 hours per week, employers can avoid a mandate dictated by the new health reform law: either provide expensive health insurance or pay a fine equal to $2,000 per worker. Avoiding the mandate becomes even more attractive for low-wage employees, since they can get highly subsidized insurance in the newly created health insurance exchanges. According to the Wall Street Journal... read more

Townhall…… Senator Kyl Sees Higher Revenues Without a Tax Hike By Larry Kudlow
A federal budget deal to avoid the fiscal cliff can be achieved without raising tax rates, Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl said Friday on the Kudlow Report. “Tax revenues can be generated by two ways other than raising tax rates,” he said. “One is to eliminate some of the deductions, credits, exemptions, special provisions in the code that end up producing more revenue but without affecting the rates. And the other is through economic growth.” The senator from... read more

Americans across the country have cause for alarm, because the federal government spent a spine-chilling $29,691 per household in 2012. As The Heritage Foundation’s “Federal Spending by the Numbers—2012” shows, federal spending per household has grown 29 percent since 2002, when it stood at $23,010. Put another way, $29,691 is about two-thirds of the median household income... read more
