What Democrats haven't focused on are the kind of policies that would promote economic growth - such as making permanent the 2001/2003 tax cuts, opening up federal lands to more energy production, and reforming government to reduce its burden on business.

The only direction Obama has the economy moving is backward.

As state and federal lawmakers debate the country's energy policies and Colorado's role in the ever-expanding energy economy, let's hope they remember that unnecessary regulations stifle growth while doing nothing for public safety or health.

The Democrats are obsessing about raising tax rates, while the GOP talks about closing loopholes.

Education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers, motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.

Obliging elected Democrats willingly pander to the radical lefties who elevated them to their throne.

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