Journalist to GOP: You're 100 Percent Wrong About U.S. Automakers
"People who say the U.S. doesn't innovate are woefully out of touch with Detroit's standing in this business."
HuffPost's QuickRead
Risking Our Best Talent
It's a common adage in my world that A players hire A players and B players hire B and C players. Talent is everything.
Botching the Bailout
The Bush administration is squandering hundreds of billions of dollars on incompetence again -- the whole thing is beginning to look a little too much like Iraq.
How Obama Can Clean Up the Mess
The debt rose as high as 120% of GNP during the New Deal. And, furthermore, that led to the most prosperous two decades in US history.
Opening Day: Baseball Business Begins Again
While sports fans fill their days with football, basketball and hockey, the aficionados of the business of sports will keep an eye on the real game, the game in the boardrooms and at the negotiating tables.
The Big Heist
If we are to believe this story taxpayers were forced to give away hundreds of billions of dollars to banks that actually weren't experiencing nearly the credit crisis they and our government officials claimed.
Homeownership Done Right
We heard very little during the campaign about what has succeeded at enabling hardworking families with average or below-average incomes to afford a home.
An Explanation of the Current Financial Crisis
This past weekend's summit of world leaders in Washington represents another step in the painful process of fixing today's financial crisis.
Industrial Base
The hard truth of the matter is that truly innovative ideas, which could be "game-changers" on the battlefield, have been AWOL from Detroit's methods of operation for some time now.
Recession Causes Bank Robbery Spike
What is missing from bank robbery training is the post trauma element that will educate employees about the emotional toll these types of incidents most likely will have on them.
President-Elect Obama's First Big Mistake
Obama's economic advisory team looks more like a semester's worth of guest speakers for an MBA class than a team that can truly help him. Entrepreneurs will lead us out of this mess. Talk to them.
While Paulson Waffles, the White House Dawdles, and Congress Dithers, the Economy Continues to Burn.
So, $290 billion into his bailout plan, Hank Paulson is calling for a do-over. Now there is a confidence booster -- it shows just how uncertain Washington is about how to keep the economy from imploding.
Four Words Obama Will Never Say
Americans must hope that the Obama administration is honest with the people and makes some difficult choices early in his tenure to deal with our growing annual deficits and long term debt.
President-Elect Obama: How You Can Fix the Economy
I don't like deficit spending in any way at any time. It is an extremely dangerous precedent to set. However, there are times when it is required. And now is such a time.
Audit the Books!!!
The first thing Obama should do to get the economy back on track is publicize the financial record of the Bush Administration. Every business knows that "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it."
What the Hell is Paulson Thinking???
Paulson now says that the administration will not, after all, use any of the $700 billion to purchase asset-based securities. At this point it seems salient to ask, what the hell is going on?

This is what happens when you let a "C" student run the country -- and it is not like he was a real business major in the first place. He got his MBA in business after barely getting a "C" as a history major for crying out loud !! If I didn't know any better, I would suspect that he probably were given those grads when he probably deserved an F for failure. His foreign policy skills and understanding of the economy is a joke . . . . and that is separate from his communication skills.
To be fair, his team of staff and advisers are responsible as well.
What a pathetic legacy for this once great nation.

And found a very willing partners in that venture big U.S. corporations, republicans and bush. We are now owned by the pinko commies. The new world order brought to you by the right wing conservative evangelical redneck , joe six pack comrades.
