This is a quarterly forecast: the Unemployment Rate in Q2 was higher than the "more adverse" scenario.
This isn’t exactly news; it’s almost three years old in fact. But I just heard about it the other day, as a couple of guys from Kansas (who knew they were still together?) talked about it on the KQ Morning Show; Billie Joe Armstrong has an endorsement deal with [...]

The bad news? The U.S. unemployment rate continues to rise and will almost certainly hit double digits soon. The good news? Historically, high unemployment has served to keep inflation in check: A rule of thumb is that inflation doesn't become sticky until the unemployment rate dips below 5%. Since 2001, [...]

Think Obama?s cap and trade plan is bad? MN already has cap and trade legislation and it is worse. Governor Pawlenty signed it 2-22-07. The legislation was bi-partisan and had lots of authors including Senator Julie Rosen (RINO-Fairmont). The bill passed 64-4 in the Senate and 123-10 in the House.
