In typical fashion for those who advocate a stake through the heart of American manufacturing in the name of saving the planet, Kathleen Hurley resorts to specious and illogical arguments, sings the praises of the career bureaucrats at the EPA, and…

AJ Sweatt sent me a copy of an article in the New York Times that should be at the top of the "What in the Heck Took You So Long" category. It seems 80 leading economists from the Upjohn Institute, the National Academy of Public Administration, the…

Ironically, given the size of its bank account, Apple has also shown up an Achilles' Heel of outsourcing, in the gap between design and marketing priorities on the one hand and actual production needs and product development on the other. Apple desi…
Fortune magazine has named Steve Jobs the "CEO of the Decade". Bully for him. By their criteria I suppose he deserves the title. Apple's stock has performed incredibly well and the market cap for Apple makes it the biggest in Silicon Valley. No ques…

The problem is that the data is blatantly innacurate and misleading. The BLS and The Cato Institute both crank out this kind of nonsense based on total factory output. If the chair manufacturer lays off all of the people who make legs, seats and bac…
Many writers on these pages and elsewhere have decried the absurdly unfair balance between US and Chinese manufacturing that has been created under the guise of globalization and free trade. Tough environmental laws in the US versus a free pass to p…

But other than this, electric cars sound like a good idea, don't you think?
The Department of Energy has granted a half billion dollar plus loan to an outfit called Fisker Automotive. Fisker Automotive is backed by Al Gore's investment company, and Al has already signed up to buy a Fisker Karma - a hybrid sports car that is…

If anyone out there still suffers from the illusion that the Obama administration has the remotest interest in preserving manufacturing in America that should be dispelled by the selection of David Michaels to head up OSHA. This guy is a certified n…

A Glimpse Into the Cap & Trade Abyss
There are a few interesting items in the news that allow us to see the real economic debacle of the Cap & Trade-type thinking currently raging through the minds of Obama and the rest of the enlightened leaders currently confabbing in Denmark.
For starters, The London Times reports that Britain's richest man just got a billion pounds richer - about 1.6 billion dollars… Continue

Global Warming - You Gotta Do Better Than That
In typical fashion for those who advocate a stake through the heart of American manufacturing in the name of saving the planet, Kathleen Hurley resorts to specious and illogical arguments, sings the praises of the career bureaucrats at the EPA, and ignores the need for open a full, fact based discussion on the subject.

"The problem is particularly acute in manufacturing"
AJ Sweatt sent me a copy of an article in the New York Times that should be at the top of the "What in the Heck Took You So Long" category. It seems 80 leading economists from the Upjohn Institute, the National Academy of Public Administration, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve, as well a… Continue

Steve Jobs Is Not My CEO of the Decade
Fortune magazine has named Steve Jobs the "CEO of the Decade". Bully for him. By their criteria I suppose he deserves the title. Apple's stock has performed incredibly well and the market cap for Apple makes it the biggest in Silicon Valley. No question about the innovative products he has cranked out - iPods and iPhones have been a huge success. Too bad even a little bit of that geni… Continue

The Unintended Racism of Unfair Trade
Many writers on these pages and elsewhere have decried the absurdly unfair balance between US and Chinese manufacturing that has been created under the guise of globalization and free trade. Tough environmental laws in the US versus a free pass to pour whatever China pleases into the air, the water and the landfills; the world's highest tax rates on the backs of American manufacturers; a 15% import tariff in China versus 3 or 4% in the US; Chinese currency manipulation; tort lawyers running amok… Continue
