Communist Viet Nam to Provide Milk and Juice to Southern California Schools—SHAME

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:58 pm
In January, 1968 I was sent to Viet Nam to join the 1st Infantry Division in Lai Khe.   During that war 52,000 Americans lost their lives.  This divided our nation and froze our foreign policy for decades.  Even today the mere thought of a battle reminds us of the no win war in South East […]

Immersion or Language Segregation on November Ballot

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:54 pm
Great news of the future.  Government education in California is going to guarantee the segregation of workers, via language, in the future.  In the past we had bi-lingual education—this is where Spanish speaking students were given third class education, mostly dropped out and found they had not learned English after more than eight years in […]

Congrats California: One of The States At Most Rick for “Significant Fiscal Street” When Recession Hits

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:51 pm
We have a $1.5 trillion debt.  The pension systems have over $1 trillion in unfunded liabilities and some cities are paying 30% of their budget just for pensions.  On the November ballot we have the largest tax orgy in our history–$500 billion in new taxes and bonds, locally and statewide.  In Los Angeles they are […]

California Sides With Salmon Over Bass: Taxpayers get the Hook

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:48 pm
Let me see if I understand the situation.  California has a lack of water, not due to the drought but because of government policy.  We could have built desalinization plants—but environmentalists said no.  We could have built water storage facilities and the voters approved, but Jerry Brown refused to abide by the voters’ wishes.  We […]

Commentary: LA teachers head is ready to incite a ‘state crisis’ if union demands are not met

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:45 pm
UTLA is the union that runs, controls and administers LAUSD.  Yes, there is a Board of Education, an elected Board.  Most of the Board members were elected with union money.  That is money stolen from the teachers, if they want to be in the classroom.  In the real world, this is called theft.  In government […]

Air In Southern California Is Deadliest In The Nation, Says Study

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:42 pm
Here is the question.  If government told you the air we breathe in Southern California was the cleanest in the nation, would be believe them?  If they told us it was the dirtiest in the nation, is that believable?  Then if government provided a graph of “potential/avoidable deaths” does that have any meaning?  Looks to […]

Santa Barbara Raising Water Rates Up to 33% for Single Family Homes

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:40 pm
More bad news for the people of Santa Barbara—you do not have enough water to get you through the next year.  But, the cost of water to single family homes is going up, by as much as 33%–but government parks and schools, which use LOTS of water, will barely have a rate increase.  Bottom line—government […]

Realtors report it is harder to buy a house in California

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:37 pm
Yes, we have low interest rates and they seem to be going to be with us for a while.  But, housing prices go up as the cost of permits, fees and waiting times for permits go up.  In LA and San Fran the costs of fees, permits and taxes for a single housing unit is […]

Wendy’s CEO Blames Rising Inflation, Falling Wages, Election Mayhem for Restaurant Sector “Slowdown”

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:35 pm
The recession is coming, but it might be here already.  We know that wages have stagnated.  Good paying jobs have moved to other nations—and certainly away from California, except for the Silicon Valley.  Housing, water and energy prices have gone up, as have taxes.  Spendable income is done.  Now, the fast food joints are feeling […]

By Stephen Frank on Aug 11, 2016 08:32 pm
Amazon is growing faster than a speeding bullet.  It is taking over the retail world.  Last Sunday we received a package from Amazon—yes, on a Sunday.  At the same time the brick and mortar shops are in trouble,   Wal Mart is closing 269 stores this year.  Now Macy’s is announcing they are closing 100 stores—and […]
