Real unemployment, those looking for full time jobs and can’t find them, those with part time jobs wanting full time jobs, is closer to 10% than 5%–look at the U-6 when the Feds release the report.  One reason the unemployment number is so low is because the labor NON participation is so high.  Every indicator […]

By Stephen Frank on Jun 21, 2016 08:04 pm
San Diego and San Diego passed pension reform measures by wide margins.  In both cases, the cities would go belly up if the system was not reformed.  Yet, the unions have gone to court and overturned most of the reforms.  Watch the financial condition of these towns—San Jose had to fire close to one third […]

San Diego Tax on Pot Will Continue Blackmarket Sales of Marijuana

By Stephen Frank on Jun 21, 2016 07:56 pm
San Diego is trying hard to be stupid.  The law of economics is clear—customers buy good product at the lowest price.  The City wants an 8% gross tax on sales of marijuana—if it becomes legal.  That is a price that the customer pays—never the store owner.  So, San Diego wants a pot smoker to go […]

By Stephen Frank on Jun 21, 2016 07:49 pm
How bad is housing in California, how expensive?  One company, Snapchat, a tech firm, is forced to buy apartment buildings, so they can rent them out to employees, who cannot afford to work in California without the company they work for providing the housing.  San Fran and other cities are looking at providing free, or […]

Media/Democrats/ Brown LIED: Real California Budget is $270 Billion—NOT $122 Billion

If you listen to CBS Los Angeles, read the LA Times, believe the Chronicle, the budget of the State of California for 2-16-17 is $122 billion.  That is a lie.  A budget is the full amount of the monies raised, borrowed and spent by government.  The Republican Leader of the State Assembly, in a letter […]
