  • Ethanol – Insanity Ensconced

    George Rebane A perennial wet dream of the liberals is a world of internal combustion engines, all running on renewable and sustainable ethanol.  This unsanitary and polluting notion was unmasked years ago, but as with global warming, science had nor has anything to do with government mandated ethanol in our lives.  An early piece that…

  • Ruminations – 18jun2011

  • Ruminations – 15jun2012

There is no point pretending that it didn’t. – Tony Blair George Rebane – It’s the Sun, stupid!– Dems put bad stuff on hold til 2012– Mexican right of return Russ Steele at NC Media Watch reports here the latest real…

  • ‘Saving the American Dream’

    George Rebane That is the short title to a landmark plan that Heritage Foundation published about a month ago.  In the popular media, it has received scant attention.  I believe this is so because it presents an utterly reasonable way for us to rescue America from its current financial freefall, and its ideological bedfellows are…

  • The Liberal Mind – Tax Rates Don’t Affect Earnings

    George Rebane According to the progressive worldview, you will work just as hard and take just as much risk when the government takes 80% of your earnings as you will when the government takes only 30% of those same earnings.  That simple proposition is the left’s basis for funding any additional revenues they deem government…

  • Entrepreneurship 2011

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my July column that appears in the 11jun11 edition of The Union and in its online form here.  A related graphic on the impact of the stimulus is on NC Media Watch here.] This administration has taken a bad economy and, by any measure, made it unimaginably…

  • Economic Summit – This time from the Left

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of the 10jun11 edition of my regular bi-weekly KVMR commentary broadcast earlier this evening.] Nevada County has had a harder time than most during this Great Recession.  The closing of stores, shops, and businesses has hit our workforce particularly hard, causing our unemployment to hover above 11% with the…

  • The Jobs of Texas

    George Rebane Just a short update on how individual states can still affect their own fortunes as long as they have the brains and will to do so.  After all, allowing the several states to improvise and compete in how they solve their own problems of local governance is part of the genius of our…
