DICK’S VIDEO – CREEPING ESCALATION: LIBYA
Dear Friend,
In this video commentary, I explain my take on the situation going on in Libya right now.
Mission creep is underway! The recent announcement that Britain, France, and Italy will send in advisors to tutor the Libyan rebels is the opening door to ground troops, eventually including Americans. I explain what Obama has planned.

HOW THE FEDS CONCEAL INFLATION
(Economist Barry Elias provided invaluable aid in researching this column)
If the same methodology that was used in 1980 to chronicle the double digit inflation of that era were in use today, we would have an inflation rate of ten percent right now, according to Shadow Government Statistics. We are entering a massive era of stagflation which recalls to us our writing in Catastrophe, published two years ago, that “inflation may well be the enduring legacy of the Obama presidency.”
How does the federal government understate the inflation rate? Let us count the ways:

DICK’S VIDEO – EDUCATION: REVOLUTION
Dear Friend,
In this video commentary, I explain my take on the education revolution in America today.
The most important unreported news story of the year is the revolution in education taking place before our eyes. States like Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and others have revolutionized public education passing bills to curb teacher tenure, adopt merit pay, and end layoffs based on seniority. I explain what is happening.

DICK’S VIDEO: OBAMA’S LEFT TURN
Dear Friend,
In this video commentary, I explain my take on President Obama’s turn to left-leaning policies.
A few months ago, everyone wondered if Obama would move to the center. Now its evident he won’t. His new campaign strategy is class warfare, tax the rich, attack spending cuts and use economic populism. Will it work? I analyze it.

THE PRESIDENT TURNS LEFT
Published on TheHill.com on April 26, 2011
Two months ago, Washington was abuzz with speculation that Obama was going to follow Bill Clinton’s reelection strategy and move to the center, forsaking the liberal agenda that cost him control of the House in 2010. Now it is evident that he has decided to come down hard left and wage his reelection fight from his liberal bunker, firing shots at Republican cuts in Medicare, pushing tax increases on the rich, and attributing the gas-price increase to speculators.

KRAUTHAMMER’S “HANDICAPPING THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL ODDS”
Charles Krauthammer is the columnist I respect the most for his values, insights, and political sense. So let’s use his column “Handicapping the 2012 Presidential Odds” as a starting point for my own assessment of the current field.
Charles begins by dissing Donald Trump and dismissing Michele Bachmann. Sorry Charles but wrong and wronger. Trump will run as a Republican with a damn good chance of winning the nomination. He appeals more to moderates and Independents than to stalwart Republicans but he captures the hearts and minds of the outside-of-the-beltway crowd with his blunt outspokenness and a raft of experience deep enough to show up a former community organizer.
DICK’S VIDEO: THE IMF TAKES OVER OUR ECONOMY
Dear Friend,
In this video commentary, I explain my take on the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and our economic system.
Last week, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that it was going to hold nations accountable for their economic decisions and publish quarterly yardsticks to measure their success in adopting “appropriate” policies. Who decides what’s appropriate? The European central bankers who run the IMF. The United States will have to meekly comply. The next step? Sanctions against nations that beg to differ with the IMF — our new global Czar.

OBAMA’S MEDICARE HYPOCRISY
Published on TheHill.com on April 19, 2011
Piously posturing as the savior of Medicare, President Obama lashed out at the House Republicans for embracing the budget proposed by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). But a comparison of the president’s own plans for Medicare with those in the Ryan budget shows that the Democratic cuts are far more immediate and drastic than anything in the GOP proposal.
While the Republican Medicare changes only take effect in 2021, Obama’s cuts will begin hurting seniors right away. The president’s healthcare legislation imposed a hard spending cap on Medicare ?– the first time it has ever had one — which he has just proposed lowering by another one-half of 1 percent of GDP (a further cut of about $70 billion a year).
