Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval Delivers Weekly Republican Address ‘Like Washington, Nevada has a politically divided government, but that hasn’t stopped our efforts to grow Nevada’s economy. Good executives, like all good leaders, must expect opposition when making decisions or when making or enforcing the law. But executives must engage those that disagree with them. They […]

My Mom always told me “if you can’t say something nice about someone it is best to say nothing”. Well, she passed away in 2001 when George W. Bush was still a shiny new president. Her circle of accumulated wisdom did not encompass the Barack Obama. And I suspect that she would have added “except […]

Folks, I don’t know how else to categorize this but we are living in a dying country. Only 88,000 new jobs were added last month when we were expecting more like 188,000. The unemployment rate, because of this terrible statistic, is down to 7.6% because so many people are no longer counted as if they […]

Bad economic news continues to roll in. AP reports today, “U.S. industrial production fell in August by the largest amount in more than three years as factories produced fewer cars and other manufactured goods and Hurricane Isaac triggered shutdowns along the Gulf Coast. Industrial production dropped 1.2 percent last month compared to July, the Federal Reserve said […]

Disappointing reports about the state of the American economy are filling the news today. The AP reports, “The U.S. economy suddenly looks a lot weaker. U.S. employers created only 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment rate ticked up. The dismal jobs data will fan fears that the economy is sputtering. . […]

CNN Money sums up today’s Labor Department report for April: “Hiring slowed in April and workers dropped out of the labor force in droves — not a good sign for the job market going forward.” According to The New York Times, “The United States had another month of disappointing job growth in April.

During the 2008 election campaign, Candidate Barack Obama was fond of using the analogy that George Bush “drove the car in a ditch” to pertray an image that Bush had carelessly and perhaps recklessly caused the financial crisis in which America found itself. Here we are nearly four years later and the economy has yet […]

The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the employment numbers for March today, but news reports suggest they’re disappointing. The Wall Street Journal writes, “U.S. job growth slowed in March, and the labor force shrank, signaling that the economy could be losing momentum. Jobs outside of agriculture grew by 120,000 last month—half the number that the […]

It might not seem probable that Obamacare could cause more foreclosures, particularly among the middle class, but these are not normal times. When the Progressives decided to force an unwanted bill and unaffordable entitlements down America’s collective throats, they had a particularly copious amount of disdain for anyone who declined to purchase Health Insurance because […]

This is the biggest swing I have seen in the daily Gallup poll. President Obama’s Approval dropped 4 points and his disapproval jumped 5 – in one day. He now stands at 45% Approve and 48% Disapprove. A good part of this drop has to be the economy. But more than that, this marks the […]
