  • Obama Puts Cadets to Sleep

    FREEDOM EDEN

    Number of comments: 0

    Video.

    That is, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the newspaper that stomps its feet and screams to anyone that will listen that it’s not a liberal newspaper, yet hasn’t encountered a tax or spending increase it won’t embrace.

I haven’t seen anyone mention the obvious – shipping out 30,000 workers means 30k less who are unemployed. Graph: Bureau of Labor Statistics War cures unemployment. Historically, it always has. War also works a [...]
