People need jobs but want less government intervention

Let's face it the job market it's really getting any better, yet you hear the call for government to help spur the job market.  The fact is that other than openings to fill specific positions the government really can't just hire extra people.  But what the government can do is affect the tarriff laws that make it harder for importing countries to dump product here in ther US while holding a high tarriff policy for US goods entering their harbors.

The American worker is resiliant but still needs to be playing on a level playing field.  The other way to help jump start our work force is to trash the current tax codes and rewrite the laws to reflect a fair way of taxing so everybody pays their fair share and not just the working families of this country.

Like it or not federal funds will be needed after Irene

Let's see how congress reacts to Irene after congress in back in session.  The fact is major assets may be needed to restore basics like power and water to the hard hit areas.  The question is whether or not there will be fights in congress over what is spent and for which project?

The good news is federal agencies are already in place to take immediate action in the wake of Irene's destruction.

It's time for another run for the Lombadi trophy

With most of the pieces in place from last year it's time to put on the pads and take on the competition.  Looking around the league there are several formidable opponents this year including New Orleans, Detroit, posibbly the Cowboys and Philly.  No game is easy in the NFL anymore and being Super bowl winners makes it even harder because all your opponents want to beat you real bad.

The key question this year will probably be the defensive line.  And as last year success depends upon protecting A-Rod.  The fans are ready the teams are ready so let's crank it up and play football!!!!
