Remember the ’70s, when the Army was switching from a large, draftee force to a smaller, all-volunteer one, right during the social-political-military hangover of the Vietnam War, and the result was a mostly not-ready-for-primetime outfit beset with drugs and indiscipline? That’s still better than this. BTW, Insanity Wrap has no issue with gays in the military — starting with Alexander the Great and including (but not limited to) at least two out-and-proud friends who also proudly served. But this video would not appeal to them. It appeals to people who see the Army as a place for heali...

Here’s the story: Plant managers said they’ve added 480 employees this year in Waterloo, where the company produces its large tractors. But they want to hire another 120 right now. And, come November, they project demand will necessitate 200 more hires — if they can find enough able bodies. In Dubuque, where the company produces forestry and construction equipment, Deere has hired about 50 workers this year. Plant managers said they’re looking for 50 more. “We haven’t seen as much interest as we have in the past,” said Mark Onderick, the company’s labor relations manager at th...

“In this present crisis,” President Ronald Reagan said in 1981, “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” That message resounded so strongly during the truly impressive economy under Reagan that even Democrat Bill Clinton conceded in 1996 that “the era of big government is over.” For the rest of Clinton’s time in office — with a big debt owed to Newt Gingrich and the Republican Congress — government didn’t grow very much as the 20th century drew to a close. Then the century turned… like spoiled milk. Since then, not a single federal agen...

Liz Peek has the awful numbers: The most memorable thing about the Carter presidency was that the economy grew at 3.25% on average, not much below Ronald Reagan’s 3.49%, but inflation soared. “Stagflation,” as it was called, devastated the nation. Seniors living on fixed incomes suffered horribly, with their monthly Social Security checks and pension benefits eaten up by rising costs of food, gasoline and other necessities. The economic situation under Carter can best be described by the so-called “misery index” compiled during his years in office, which combines the unemployment ra...

Mostly because Uncle Sugar is handing out the free money, extended unemployment benefits, etc. It’s like having a job, but without all that nasty work. Employers are begging for workers, and would-be workers are saying, “Maybe next month.” Even so, prices on everything are up, and Insanity Wrap saw a report recently that there could even be gas shortages this summer. So we’ve got runaway government, increasing inflation, an economy choking on expensive raw materials and missing computer chips. Insanity Wrap is going to put on some double-knit, massive plaid trousers, and a polyester s...
