Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Good governance is rooted in common sense. Here is a common sense truth: Everyone’s agenda depends on a prosperous economy. The Great Generation knew the human cost when bad times last for a long time. They grew up in the Depression. They knew that without prosperity we can not nurture and educate our children, protect our communities, or care for the poor. Whether you are a liberal or conservative, your agenda depends on America’s ability to produce jobs, create wealth, and expand opportunity. And that depends on a vibrant free market economy.
A slip, not a fall
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010The quote from Pravda in an Investors Business Daily was interesting. Remember how the Obama Administration wanted to change the world’s view of America? They’ve accomplished that. The Russians are laughing at us.
But the Russians have engaged in wishful thinking about the United States before.
When Abe Lincoln was walking to the Springfield courthouse to see the returns from his Senate race against Stephen Douglas – a race he lost – he lost his footing in the darkness and almost tumbled down a hill. But he righted himself, and immediately the thought came to him: “This is a slip –not a fall.” We will look back at this time and say the same thing. As troublesome as the current policies are, the forces of recovery are already loose in the country.
It’s a slip, not a fall.
