Without systemic change, nothing changed. The bailout was passed, and even despite protecting the wooden arrow manufacturing industry in the US, we’re still up the proverbial creek. The markets are unstable, irrational and the wild swings are more than markets...

Still bailing out everyone else but John Q. Public
The latest round of Senate talks on the “bailout” package still hasn’t addressed directly helping the people who are being asked to foot the bill. Reminds me of Wimpy- who wants a hamburger today, but will gladly pay you Tuesday – without...
Obama gets what McCain doesn’t
Starting out with promising a tax rebate is just as old as Republican rhetoric- and not really explaining how regulation would benefit all of us, but, in 2 minutes, his financial plan makes a lot more sense than John McCain: He has the plan posted at...
Someone else gets it…
On my campaign postcard, I ask “If you’re tired of Congressmen investigating steroids in baseball, while CEO’s get milliond for bankrupting their companies and firing Americans (Enron, Countrywide) you do have a choice” Ohio Dave at “Into...
When Government meddles in business decisions, taxpayers lose
The DDN doesn’t have both of its articles on the rumor of Reynolds and Reynolds pulling out of Downtown- so I can only link to the short one. The doozy quote comes from the print edition. Here is what the Government thought of its taxpayer-financed propping up...
Congressional smoke and mirrors- or why Steroids in Baseball are more important than honest financial reporting by Corporations

We Don’t Hate Government. We Hate Waste.
Ohio is drowning in outdated bureaucracy, duplicate jurisdictions, and unaccountable shadow agencies. It’s time to consolidate, modernize, and rebuild government from the ground up—for transparency, efficiency, and democracy.
It’s time to re-introduce democracy to the democratic party
Denial is not a good political strategy. The professed "party of the people" got their butts handed to them in the 2024 election. If you wonder why I put 2024 in the last sentence, it's because a long time from now, as the party still flounders, they may need to...
Brian Higgins, public enemy number 1?
Full disclosure, I first met, and started to do work for Brian Higgins around 2010, when he opened the Sidebar, first in the 130 W. 2nd tower, and then in the old Pacchia location in the Oregon District. He is a fellow veteran, paratrooper, and one of my closest...
Leadership in times of CoronaCrisis
While Congress diddles, the country burns. Governor Mike DeWine and Dr. Amy Acton will go down in history as heroes. Although Ohio will still take a massive hit. Idiots like the Rev. Lawrence Bishop at the Solid Rock Church who held services yesterday are the reason...
