Economy
Behold, the power of Obamanomics. More businesses are failing now than are being created

#1  From the article:

Another nugget in that Brookings paper: "older and larger businesses are doing better relative to younger and smaller ones"

Well, a cornerstone in Obamanomics is crony capitalism.

#2  "older and larger businesses are doing better relative to younger and smaller ones"

That's almost always true. The first days are the hardest days. MOST new bsinesses fail within a year or two.

#3  Mostly, though, we need a change in leadership from the current economy-killing administration and some semblance of sanity in the reach of the federal government.

Yeah this administration has been giving me the sh*ts for six years now, and I've been on industrial strength Imodium to no avail. It ain't going to happen untill these idiots leave office and even then we will be so far behind the eight-ball, nothing will help. We are doomed I tell you ...Doomed !

#4  the good news is that GIVERnment keeps growing and the debt keeps growing.

#5  Wehell, as I've said times before one way to promote, empower, + entrench OWG-NWO + Global Federal Union is via so-called "common/shared chaos" where a number of Nations are forced to rely on one aother, iff only for simple or base national survival.

Unfortunately for the Global "Sole" Superopwer USA, this entails the US unilaterally or voluntarily pulling back across the Globe, giving up power-n-influence, etc. so that New andor Old Powers can rise to [rough?]Geopol parity, including NUCLEAR PARITY, in righteous Globalist-desired OWG Co-Superpowerhood.

* As I Like to describe it, "SEVEN OWG CO-SUPERPOWERS [more?] FOR SEVEN OWG GLOBAL FED UNIONS [more?]ON SEVEN KNOWN CONTINENTS".

At least for Starters.

OWG Global Federal Union = PCorrect contemporary label for [Multi-Nation]"CONTINENTALISM" ANDOR "TRANS-CONTINENTALISM".

THE US IS TO RETREAT, OR OTHERWISE FALL BACK OR PULL BACK, FROM AROUND THE WORLD - WHAT THE GLOBIES HAVE NOT ANSWERED OR DESCRIBED IS "HOW MUCH" OR "HOW FAR" CAN THE US WITHDRAW OR PULL BACK SAFELY WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED OR EVEN DESTROYED BY RIVALS OR PROTAGONISTS, ETC. as the "Great Game" goes on wid or widout any OWG Globalism or Co-Superpowerism.

#3  Yes, this will certainly go a long way to ending the exodus of the middle-class, businesses, and retirees.

#6  And then there is this:

American Flag Unwelcome in California School on Cinco de Mayo.

I don't give a rat's ass if it's Cinco de Mayo or Cesar Chavez day. It's still America. Isn't it?

#7  Kalifornia hasn't been in America for some years now....

#8  The bill originally banned all sales of Confederate flag memorabilia on state property. In explaining that provision, Hall noted a sign sold at the state fairgrounds depicting a Confederate flag with the phrase “It’s still my American flag.”

He amended the bill to exclude non-government employees and businesses from the ban to avoid violating constitutional free speech protections.

Courts have upheld the rights of individuals to display the Confederate flag while also upholding the rights of government agencies to limit what they endorse.

“We aren’t stifling free speech here,” said Assemblyman Donald Wagner, R-Irvine, calling on Republicans who oppose flag burning to understand the symbolic implications of the Confederate flag. “Here is a symbol that’s so vile, that carries such connotations, that we in the state do not want to be associated with it.”

The legislation would not prohibit Confederate flag images from appearing in educational or historical contexts, such as in textbooks or museums.

#11  Kinda makes the old gift shop at the Albert Johnston and Lewis Armistead museum look a bit bare.

#12  I'll bet I could find a Viet Cong flag for sale somewhere on California state property.
