The United States of California

The United States of California

If you want to see where the country is headed under the Obama administration, look at California: a state in deep financial trouble that will collapse under its own weight if it does not wean itself off debt, excessive taxes and paralyzing regulations.

The same forces that are hurling California toward insolvency are beginning to affect the rest of the country.

The Rebirth of Vocational Schools

The Rebirth of Vocational Schools

It took a moribund economy and unemployment combined with underemployment exceeding 25 percent for the United States to wake up to the realities of vocational schools.
