Failure of Obamanomics Is No Joke

Milton Wolf, Washington Times
In 1932, President Hoover received a letter from a man in Illinois that read simply, “Vote for Roosevelt and make it unanimous.” Based on its recent floundering, it seems even the White House recognizes that Obamanomics has been a disaster. It’s nearly unanimous now.When President Reagan entered office, America faced a deep recession with double-digit unemployment and inflation, plus dishearteningly long gas lines. Rather than wasting time blaming his predecessor, the Gipper went right to work unveiling Reaganomics - an embrace of the free market - which included...

Herman Cain doesn't 'think the current minimum wage is necessary'

Herman Cain
Illustration by DonkeyHotey
My, how time flies when you're waiting for Republicans to take awful positions. Only today I noted that Michele Bachmann was probably not alone in the Republican presidential field in wanting to eliminate or at least drastically reduce the minimum wage. Herman Cain has already stepped up, in response to a question Lee Fang of ThinkProgress managed to get in before being physically blocked by volunteers:
FANG: Do you think the current minimum wage is too high or even necessary?

CAIN: I don?t think the current minimum wage is necessary because most companies are paying higher than the minimum wage. Now you can?t say everybody?s paying higher than the minimum wage but a lot of companies [inaudible]

Cain gave a more quotable response than Bachmann, insofar as he actually used the words "minimum wage," and in conjunction with "I don't think" and "necessary." But where Bachmann was arguing for eliminating the minimum wage entirely, Cain doesn't spell out his ultimate answer to the current minimum wage being unnecessary. Does he want it lower? Gone altogether? Some follow-up questioning is in order, if Cain's people will let a reporter with that kind of question anywhere near the candidate.

How Obama Can Spur Immediate Job Creation

Bill Bradley, USA Today
Despite this public concern and the threat that continuing high unemployment poses to the fabric of American life, the debate in Washington focuses on immediate spending cuts and extension of the debt limit. Even proponents of immediate spending cuts admit that these will do little to promote job creation; of course they will eliminate jobs as we're now seeing at the state, county and municipal levels.While President Obama's bipartisan economic commission has made helpful suggestions for long-term job creation, it has offered no such proposal aimed at the short term. Instead of...

Same-Sex Marriage Advocates Face Uphill Climb in Building on N.Y. Vote

Supporters of New York's historic vote Friday night in favor of same-sex marriage hailed passage as a sign that similar bills will soon sweep the country. But the momentum behind same-sex marriage legislation has been anything but steady. While the trend over the past decade is toward granting same-sex marriage rights at the state level, the opposition is still intense and the movement to legalize gay marriage has struggled to break out of the Northeast.
