Regardless of who owns the blame, the current administration seems to have little idea of the course to recovery. It continues to sell the country on ideas like "Recovery Summer," making promises that cannot be kept, even in the short term. There seems to be only one solution from this administration - spend more money. Unfortunately, trusting the future to "hope" is not a good excuse for profligate spending with very little focus. Sowell has it right when he points out that this administration is protecting the very institutions that need "change," Fannie and Freddie.

Q: How do you handle a Congressman who deliberately tries to mislead you with unreliable statistics?

A: You find someone else to represent you in Congress.

Alan Grayson is a smart guy, with the Harvard Law degree to prove it. He didn't build a fortune of over $30 million before he turned 50 by being a dummy! So he really has no excuse for using shoddy research and questionable statistics to sway Americans to his point of view. Like most trial lawyers, he feels justified in doing anything to ensure his side wins...

Personally, I'm ready for a change, so I'm taking a good look at Patricia Sullivan for Congress in Florida's 8th District (my home district). She's a lot more down to earth than Mr. Grayson, and...

Yep, we'll have oil and its ancillary products for years to come, but much of the media, the White House, and most of the Congressional leadership believe otherwise. That's because creating a shortage is better politics than creating jobs.

Same thing with health care. We've allowed our politicians to paint the picture much worse than it is... Rather than find the problem areas and work on them, they make things sound terrible, then replace the entire system.

Some day we'll wise up and realize that the boring politicians do a much better job than the ones with the big smiles and loud mouths.
