Quote of the day
”The truth is we have too few jobs today because government stands in the way. If I’m an employer, why would I want to hire someone when Congress and the Labor Department have so many rules that I might not be able to fire that person if he can’t do the job? Why would I take a risk on an investment when still-to-be-written rules about Obamacare, financial regulation and the environment could turn my good idea into a losing venture?” John Stossel

The skids are being Greeced and the European Union will slip by without breaking up – this time. That’s our opinion, but it’s a squeaker. It certainly wasn’t conservative policies of spending within your means or rule of law that got the European nations into their mess. But it’s conservative policies that will get the public blame. The left will see to that. Sarkozy of France and Merkel of Germany are in big trouble with the voters already and the final deal is yet to be signed.
