I am trying to live within my budget and I think that I am succeeding.  At the end of this month, I will have better information.  It’s sad, even tragic, that our president doesn’t think our country has a spending problem.  It’s also very bad that during his presidency Americans who are poor or in…

I respect all the great loving religions of the world.  The wisdom and truth of the ancient texts are meaningful and worthwhile to many.  Faith that invokes loving values of compassion, honesty, justice and peace is very important, but values such as these are only really what God wants if we say and do things…

Everyone ought to be in a lifelong search for the truth in everything in their lives, and all that surrounds us, from where we live to our whole planet.  We should seek wisdom, comprehensive knowledge to the highest degree possible, and the positive values of compassion, honesty, peace, justice and many others.  We should seek…

This afternoon I read an article in The Economist.  The article delineated both sides on whether or not innovation is at a rate as it was in the late 1800s and early 1700s.  I believe we are in the Innovation Age and The Operation is part of it. Imagine if we in humankind can really learn to…

We really are in the Innovation Age.  We must innovate everywhere, including our federal government.  All this change must be done in a kind way. I’m excited.  I think 2013 is going to be a great year for me personally.  As far as our economy, government and the world, however, I still have grave doubts. …

The financial soundness of the United States of America is tenuous.  It is important for the president to engage the Congress and realize that we must bring our federal budget into balance.  I realize his worldview might be drastically different from mine, but it is time for him to wake up to Adam Smith’s reality. …

I read in The New York Times today that the time is not suited to a “grand bargain.”  But the reality is that we must control expenses, for which much detailed study and cutting need to be done.  This will require extensive reductions in force because there is an incredible amount of duplication and waste in government;…

I’m concerned about our country.  We must cut federal expenditures as we promote growth in our economy with reforms in taxes, regulations, laws and entitlements.  Otherwise, the best we can hope for is slow growth domestically. President Obama is out of touch with economic realities in his constant chant to “tax the rich,” which he…

I want my website to tell my view of the truth and that is, in part, that the fruits of capitalism made our country what it is—the largest economy in the world, at least for now.  Right now our Republicans in the House and Senate are trying to fight for a nation that doesn’t allow the…

I am making a tight personal/business budget and I fully intend to live within it.  If my income exceeds what is expected I may do some of the things in my preliminary budget.  But I fully intend to live within my income. Congress—Democrats and Republicans—ought to adopt sound growth and spending policies.  We simply can’t…
