By Stephen Frank on Dec 04, 2020 09:16 pm
The California farmer is in trouble.  Last year that got 10% of what they needed.  If all goes “well” this year they will get 20%.  At the same time California government could spend up to $500 million to demolish four dams in Oregon that provide us with water and some energy.  Any wonder we do […]

Years ago I was responsible for holding a daylong conference at USC for young college students in the art of combining politics and policy.  As my keynote speaker I hired Dr. Walter Williams.  For one hour he held the full attention of the students.  He discussed free market economics, use of issues in a campaign […]

Joe Biden’s Pick for Top Economic Adviser, Neera Tanden, Endorsed Bill Creating a National Soda Tax

By Stephen Frank on Dec 04, 2020 08:51 pm
If you love taxes, you will love the mentally limited Joe Biden and his Administration of thieves.  His proposed top economic advisor has been begging to tax the poor, heavily, via a soda tax. “In 2019, Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D–Conn.) and Jan Schakowsky (D–Ill.) introduced the Medicare for America Act, a bill that despite its […]

By Stephen Frank on Dec 04, 2020 08:46 pm
Want to make a lot of bucks without having to earn it?  Become friends with those that give out school no bid contracts. “A California appellate court has applied the brakes to misusing state law for sweetheart, no-bid school construction contracts. An alternative view of California’s public school system is that it is a huge […]

Stein: California Public Advocates Office enters a “common interest agreement” with the Sierra Club to help the CPUC ban the use of natural gas

By Stephen Frank on Dec 04, 2020 08:42 pm
A private organization based on socialist policy, the Sierra Club, has created a cabal with the California Public Utilities Commission to make energy more expensive and very unreliable.  As we have seen with the recent brownouts and blackouts—San Diego areas have lost power for three days.  Together they will ban the use of clean, cheap […]

Christmas Tree Few Will See Erected in Downtown (ghost town) Santa Barbara

By Stephen Frank on Dec 04, 2020 08:35 pm
State Street in Santa Barbara looks and feels like a ghost town.  Many of the businesses are permanently closed.   Others will be closed because they are “non-essential” as declared by politicians who only see themselves as being essential.  Yet, the city makes a big deal about putting up a giant Christmas tree that almost no […]

Amtrak Continues to Lie

By Stephen Frank on Dec 04, 2020 08:30 pm
Amtrak is like any other government agency.  It will misrepresent the facts and data in order to stay in business and steal from the taxpayers.  In this case they are claiming that subsidies of tax dollars to keep the doors open are actually “revenues” as if they represent riders. “Amtrak is maintaining the twin fictions […]
