The Man Without a Clue

The mountain of evidence that one has to indict this administration as one of the most economically inept and unworthy to lead continues to pile up.  On the economic side of things, the federal government continues to pump out rules and regulations that are strangling businesses (more on that below).  After one of the worst recessions in our history we've had 5 straight years of sub-par GDP growth.  No post-recession growth rate has been as low as this one.  And when it comes to the ineptness of leadership, where do I begin?  The targeting of political enemies by the IRS?  Allowing Syria to burn?  And now not even lifting a finger as Putin swallows up an entire country.

Common Core

We will be homeschooling our kids.  When people find out they often ask us why.  There are lots of reason, the biggest being that our public education system is NOT educating our kids.  So here comes Common Core.  Yet another massive fail.
