The belief that by spending more, the federal government can revive the economy by increasing aggregate demand is an example of the triumph of hope over experience. Many people excuse the recent failures of such stimulus spending with the claim that the spending simply wasn't large enough. This demand-side view is oblivious to the supply-side reality that demanding more does no good unless more has been, or will be, produced. The logic of this reality explains why trying to increase aggregate demand through increased federal spending is not the key to stimulating the economy. The problem is not that aggregate demand is unimportant—it is very important. The problem is that increased real aggregate demand is the result, not the cause, of an increasingly productive and prosperous economy

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"
He yelled back, "University of Oklahoma."
And they say blondes are dumb...

Immigrant Entrepreneurs Helping Drive Job Growth In The U.S.
by Resources for Entrepreneurs Staff 1/27/2012
Report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Immigration Policy Center reveals that immigrant businesses create jobs and strengthen the U.S. economy.
A joint report released by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Immigration Policy Center (IPC) points to the importance of immigrant entrepreneurs in the U.S. economy and initiates calls for policymakers to shape legislation making it easier for global entrepreneurs to launch businesses in the U.S.
"There is very little disagreement among researchers and experts that immigrant entrepreneurship is a powerful and valuable asset to America's economic future," said Benjamin Johnson, executive director of the American Immigration Council. When new immigrant workers and consumers are present in a local community, businesses expand and additional jobs are created. The IPC points out that immigrants and native-born workers typically don't compete in the same job markets due to differences in education, occupations and other factors. Instead, the two labor forces complement each other, raising the productivity and wages of native-born workers. Read the FULL ARTICLE at, http://tinyurl.com/LibertyViews311a

Quotes from (All emphasis added)
Repeal Alabama's immigration law By Raul Reyes
All the unintended consequences that forced lawmakers to backtrack on the law.
Agriculture industry. Farmers face a crisis because migrant workers have fled the state, and U.S. workers haven't filled the gaps.--- Officials are considering using work-release prisoners to fill the jobs.
Business reputation. A Mercedes-Benz executive was arrested for driving without proper identification required under the new law.--- Two weeks later, a Honda official was ticketed for driving without a proper license.
Legal residents. Renewing a state license requires proof of citizenship. Causing long lines at courthouses and city halls, which equals lost hours of productivity.
Local businesses, schools and clinics. As many undocumented workers and their families have fled Alabama, businesses that catered to them have closed, depriving the state of tax revenue. --- Alabama's undocumented population collectively paid $130 million in state and local taxes in 2010. --- The Alabama Department of Education reports that hundreds of Hispanic students have stopped going to school since the law took effect.

Iran is ready to return to nuclear talks Source: Southern California Press-Enterprise
"Iran is ready to revive talks with the U.S. and other world powers, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday, but suggested that Tehran's foes will have to make compromises to prevent negotiations from again collapsing in stalemate. Iran's insistence that it will never give up uranium enrichment -- the process that makes material for reactors as well as weapons -- scuttled negotiations a year ago and still looms as a potential deal breaker even as tougher Western sanctions target Iran's critical oil exports."
