Opinion: “Let the Budget Debate Begin”
“From 1791 to 1969 the basic principle that our nation’s finances was based on was debt was something a strong nation worked to avoid. We actually eliminated the nation’s debt after the War of 1812 and eliminated two thirds of our debt after the Civil War. Beginning with 1970 using debt even during times of prosperity and relative peace became an accepted policy. That has resulted in only four surpluses in the past fifty-two years and eleven projected deficits on top of those.”
Opinion: “The ‘Texas’ Warning!”
“Hopefully the recent electricity crisis in Texas is a “wake-up” call to all of us that green energy means unreliable electricity and unreliable electricity isn’t compatible with modern civilization. Hopefully it’s enough to stop us from going down a destructive path to 100% renewable energy sources.”
Opinion: “Tax Expenditures”
“I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw the example that Merriam – Webster uses for their second definition of “expenditure”. “Income should exceed expenditures.” Wouldn’t it be nice if our members of Congress and those in Washington understood that and put it into practice. Instead they are lamenting the fact that the tax code includes deductions and credits that are taking money away from them.”

“”…endangered the lives of all members of Congress…”: Rep. Talib is one of those members of Congress who suffered trauma due to the riot. She has explained how she suffered it as she watched the riot on television. “
02/07/2021: “Test vote shows not all GOP on board to convict”
“I guess that means 45 Republican senators voted for the motion to dismiss? So why would the “journalists”, or who ever came up with the subheading, choose “not all GOP on board to convict”. Wouldn’t it have been much more accurate to say “few GOP on board to convict” or “most GOP not on board to convict”?”
01/24/2021: “Trump passes on ‘ex-presidents club'”
“Considering all that has taken place over the last five years I don’t blame President Trump for questioning whether he wants to be part of a group that undermined his term in office and his attempt at re-election. “
01/24/21: “Ohio ranks last for administering second doses of COVID-19 vaccines”
“So if Ohio is leading the Nation, or at least in second place, in protecting the most vulnerable of its population, wouldn’t you think that would be the headline and main focus of the story. But it wasn’t.”
01/23/2021: “Trump showed he didn’t care about Ohioans”
“The Chillicothe Gazette is the “paper of record” for Ross County, Ohio. So did they think Jason’s column would be well accepted? Was he preaching to the choir when he stated “And stop kidding yourselves and accept that Donald Trump is an unrepentant jackass.””
