A New Approach to Assessing Candidates

By John E. Wade II / December 14, 2015 / Comments Off on A New Approach to Assessing Candidates

So much—almost all—of the news about the Presidential campaign is about national and world issues. The irony is that from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021 our president will face unknown issues and widely varying issues from those known now. So if we cannot judge a candidate based on their opinions on national and…

Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin is a WINNER

By John E. Wade II / August 12, 2015 / Comments Off on Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin is a WINNER

By John E. Wade II / June 16, 2015 / Comments Off on Innovation in Government

Leave a reply I frequently think about how important it is to America and the world that WI Governor Scott Walker be elected president in November, 2016, and assumes control in a fair, kind, and competent manner immediately upon assuming office.

We Can’t Tax Our Way into Prosperity

By John E. Wade II / June 10, 2015 / Comments Off on We Can’t Tax Our Way into Prosperity

However, our prosperity is in jeopardy – with a huge national debt, over a trillion in student loans and entitlements that are actuarially unsustainable. These are…
