Obama and the Democrats' preposterous argument is that we are just one more big tax increase away from solving our economic problems. The inescapable conclusion, however, is that the primary driver of the short-term deficit is not tax cuts but the lack of any meaningful economic growth over the last half decade.

Obama's economic policies obviously have not worked, and have left the American market place with enormous uncertainty and anxiety.

Job growth well in excess of population increase would be a very good thing if it were only that easy.

A good day for Barack Obama is anytime the dominant topic of discussion is anything but the economy.

Just to keep up with population growth, on average our economy needs to be adding about 125,000 jobs per month.

Americans are paying for our lack of an energy policy with their jobs and out of their pocketbooks.

After several trillion dollars of stimulation by the Obama Administration and the Fed, one might think the economy would be chugging along at a pretty good clip. But, it just isn't so, and the light at the end of the tunnel is pretty dim. Just ask a small business owner.
