First Congressional District Effort Costly

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Voters in the West Virginia’s first congressional district are finding out why it has been so long since Rep. Alan B. Mollohan has had an opponent.  It is a costly thing seeking office….not only in reducing your personal assets but in reputation. This is particularly true with Republicans in the fight to win the opportunity to compete in November.  You may be interested how Congressional Quarterly reports on this race.

China

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

It has been apparent for sometime our relations with China are likely the most important in today’s world.  We have the issue of Taiwan, nuclear weapons, the internet, climate change and the global economy.

With all the attention given to the growing economic leverage China is amassing over the United States and our country’s need to finance the growing national debt I found a piece about China’s economic power in The Washington Post educational.  I hope you do as well.
