Tips From Readers

Reader Tom C has sent a link to this article describing how Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke says that unemployment will remain high for the next four or five years regardless of change in GDP.

Is this so hard to understand? With rising unemployment insurance costs and uncertain 0bamaCare demands why would any employer not bend-over backwards to avoid new hiring?

And with regard to 0Care, for those with insurance how do you like your new premiums?

Reader Fran C sent this fascinating report by David Spady of American for Prosperity, California describing how welfare recipients from that state are using their state-supplied ATM cards at luxury vacation spots and on cruise ships.

And casinos. Hey, Fast Eddie, how come you missed that one?

Clouds On The Right For Corbett


Allegations are circulating among the more conservative elements of the Tea Party Movement regarding corruption in the State Attorney General’s Office run by Gov.-Elect Tom Corbett.

The allegations have been sent in an email by Edward D. Martino, a Lancaster County activist and private investigator, who claims that the office has destroyed thousands of documents; pays 40 percent to collection agencies which is eight times higher than neighboring states; and awards no-bid contracts to the agencies.

Martino says he has interviewed “various people that either are presently working for Mr. Corbett, or have previously worked in his office.”

He would not say who it was he interviewed. He did say he did it on his own.
