When Barack Obama was running for president in 2008, he promised to create 5 million green jobs during his term. He fell way short of his goal. In fact, it seemed like there were more green companies folding and laying off thousands of people than there were green companies hiring new employees. During his 2012 re-election campaign, Obama […]
If an escalation of Europe’s stand-off with Moscow over Ukraine results in economic sanctions, more than 6,000 German companies who do business with Russia would suffer catastrophic losses, Germany’s main trade body has warned. “About 6,200 German companies are engaged in Russia, some of them very strongly,” Anton Boerner, head of the BGA exporters’ body, […]

The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) will cause a larger than-expected reduction in working hours—eliminating the equivalent of about 2.3 million workers in 2021.

The Obama Administration’s $5.8 trillion of big government deficit spending has caused the United States to suffer an “internal devaluation,” as American worker wages after inflation were forced down in each of the last five years.
