For unemployed, relief is on the way (7/23/10, page AA1)

We’re guessing the same genius that wrote yesterday’s headline for this topic wrote today’s.

$1500 a month is not relief. It’s a promise by a clueless president that you will NOT get a decent paying job, and that you WILL be dependent on his generosity with other people’s money. President Obama’s lack of experience and intelligence continues to punish those that are looking for work. He thinks governments create jobs, ignoring the brutal failure of the Soviet Union and East Germany, or how China’s success came AFTER they opened their markets  and reduced government planning.

Sadly, CCTimes editor Kevin Keane and his staff are just as clueless, given their support for the socialist Democratic Party’s agenda. These are the same policies that will result in Mr. Keane and his staff unemployed due to a lack of advertising in their newspaper. Too bad journalists just aren’t smart enought to add 2 + 2.  Maybe engineers should be in charge of newspapers.

A victory for jobless Americans (7/22/10, page AA1)

One of the problems with having journalists write stories (or headlines) about economic issues is that they are just too stupid to understand what they are writing about. That’s why they went into journalism, because engineering was out of the question.

The so-called jobless benefit will, in the end, reduce the likelihood that Americans who are currently unemployed will find meaningful work. Why? Because President Obama and the Democrats just sucked up even more money FROM the economy to pay these unemployment benefits.

That’s money that will not be invested in new ideas, won’t be loaned to growing businesses, won’t be loaned to homebuyers, won’t be loaned to anyone that creates real jobs.

Note in this article that Lisa never asks where this money is coming from and she especially doesn’t ask what the opportunity costs are for extending unemployment benefits.

And the headline writer for the liberal Contra Costa Times should be ashamed of herself. This is NO victory for jobless Americans. All this extension does is extend their misery. If you want to create jobs, cut taxes and cut government. Democrats did neither and the CCTimes is too stupid to understand that.

Democrat was defender of republic (6/29/10, page AA1)

Unless you were black. Using the term ’segregationist’ in place of KKK is a blatant example of liberal bias. Robert Byrd was a senior recruiter for the KKK. Sure he recounted, but that doesn’t hide his history.

Also, a defender of the republic who carried the constitution in his pocket would at least know that the constitution LIMITS the powers of government, and doesn’t use the power of government to fund billions of taxpayer dollars of pork for his state. That whole ‘constitutional supporter’ is a crock that only a liberal newspaper would publish.

Nominee: Americans have ‘great wisdom’ (6/29/10 page AA1)

Honestly, reading this newspaper is like reading Democratic talking points. Of course Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is going to say she’ll be “modest” and the trite Americans have “great wisdom.” What else would any nominee say?

So of course the clueless Contra Costa Times makes this the headline because they have to cover for Kagan’s history as a liberal activist.

Biden calls small business owner ’smart-ass’ (6/27/10, not in CCTimes)

Joe Biden, easily the most  class-less vice-president ever, responded to a small business owner who asked him to lower taxes by calling the business owner a ’smartass.’ This from an idiot who’s never created a job in his life. The owner handled it well, but this says everything about our VP and his boss: businesses work for the government, not the other way around.

America should seize BP’s assets for cleanup (6/22/10, page C2)

Steve Butler, rumored Retirement Planner, CCTimes

Steve cracks us up. Today he suggests we ignore our laws and just seize BP’s assets. Just like that. Honestly, this man must be an investment genius because his political beliefs all run counter to promoting the rule of law and encouraging the growth of business in a relatively free market environment.

BP will eventually end up giving up its assets to lawyers. But at least they will have a chance to defend themselves, as opposed to what Steve promotes.

By the way, would this accident have happened if we allowed drilling on land or shallow water where the oil is? Steve didn’t mention that option to reduce the likelihood of accidents like this.

But he did, once again, mention that we should move to electric cars and alternative energy. Quickly. Just like that. BP is holding us back, what with the $1 million they donated to Obama over the years.

Honestly, he must be a financial planning genius, because his politics are decidedly anti-business.

CA loses 2000 jobs to non-union Mississippi (6/17/10, not in CCTimes)

!!!  Although the CCTimes did run a story in the Business section today, June 18, the story did not cover the reasons for moving production (which is what this is in the end) from California to Mississippi. We can assure you it is NOT because Mississippi loaned money to Toyota.

While California gets the pipe-dream and unproven Tesla, Toyota closes Nummi in Fremont and opens a plant with 2000 employees in business-friendly Mississippi.

Who wins?  Employees in Mississippi.

Who loses? Union employees in California who priced themselves out of the market, businesses that supplied Nummi in Fremont, residents of Fremont, and residents of  California because they’ll have to make up the lost tax revenue.

Why did Toyota move?  AB32? Probably. Union control of the State? Probably.

Where’s the Contra Costa Times on this story?
