The reason for so much controversy over Free Trade Agreements like TPP and Trade Deficits is that economists, and for that matter legislators and their advisors, have lost perspective since the many changes that have taken place since the 2001 recession. Explaining the trade deficit: When trade deficits occur during periods when we are below […]
This new flap about gun owner’s support for Trump is about as low as you can go. They know they can’t attack the principles that Trump stands for so they attack him personally. Hillary’s policies will be four more years of Obama’s policies which means we will never dig ourselves out of the hole they […]
Brad Little recently filed to run for Governor of Idaho, in 2018. In a recent interview with Little Nathan Brown @ magicvalley.com wrote an article titled “Little talks Trump, governing philosophy”. After reading the article which was evidently a self-serving piece to promote his bid for Governor, we didn’t find much of anything that would […]
We would like to revisit a subject that we think is important to the taxpayers of Idaho. The Department of Commerce Tax Reimbursement Incentive program became effective on July 1, 2014. The State offered a tax credit of up to 30% on income, payroll and sales taxes for up to 15 years. The requirements are: […]
Tea Party Bob’s Comments on the Thursday morning Kevin Miller Show 580KIDO I have enormous respect for Senator Cruz, and it is unfortunate that he did not endorse Donald Trump after making a pledge to do so before the primary. As you know, I had thought all along that Cruz would have made a great […]
The U.S. is at the bottom of the list when it comes to food quality and safety. Our food supply is constantly being tainted with pesticides and herbicides which leave residues not just on the plants but in the ground they grow in. Roundup is one of those dastardly chemicals sprayed by the millions of […]
What is it about Trump that he always seems to hit the proverbial nail on the head? Our lame duck president took another trip to Europe for a visit with the NATO Alliance only to tell them what Donald Trump has been saying since April of this year. The President chided the many members of […]
As our nation mourns the death of five Dallas Police Officers, many of us think back to 2008 when President Obama was elected on a slogan of “Hope and Change” when many of those who voted for him expected great things of the first black president. They thought this was a chance to bring the […]
Mr. Armstrong, you are just another of the crony bureaucrats who want to expand big government and the budget of the Dept. of Health and Welfare. I have yet to hear you stand up and complain about the continuing accelerating cost of medical care or the huge escalations of premiums for health insurance. Instead you […]
What is it about the Clintons that they are always one step ahead of the law? Does anyone really believe that Bill Clinton and his happenstance meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in Phoenix was not meant to be publicized? Once again we see the genius of the Clinton strategy to deflect public attention from […]
The establishment media is bought and paid for by the corporate lobbyists and establishment politicians. Everybody should be irate at the local news media and how they handled this Refugee incident in Twin Falls, and what is more abominable is the reaction of the city officials. It was almost as if everyone wanted to cover […]
In a feeble attempt to be funny, the Mistakesman once again prints a Lewiston Tribune article on Idaho’s changing gun market Page 2C Opinion 7/2/2016. They attempted to berate the fact that our legislators finally listened to the people of Idaho and not the “Muppet Media” by passing legislation this year allowing permit-less carrying of […]
