WIth the funds for the PPP depleted as of today, as we hope for another tranche of the same amount or more to be approved by the government, here are some of the issues I have had to address with small businesses I deal with and some of the recommendations I am making to those…

Some Thoughts on Fixing Obamacare – Shoot Holes in this Please
I’m not a healthcare policy expert. Not by a long shot. The challenges facing healthcare in this country are enormous. While I may not have answers, there is no downside to generating discussion on alternatives. Feel free to comment on anything you feel is wrong with my suggestion. The problem legislators are facing in their…
Dear Mr President , My Suggestion for Infrastructure Spending
I happen to be a fan of the government investing money into what is commonly called infrastructure projects. I strongly believe that any reasonable businessperson, even one who works for the government, should be able to invest money at 1% interest rates and get a better than 2% return on taxpayer money. But I think…
My Thoughts on the MSM Getting President Trump Elected and Then Some
Peter Thiel was right when he said that Trump supporters take him seriously, but not literally. When it comes to reporting the news, a presidential campaign and election is obviously news, the MSM (Main Stream Media) takes everything literally and seriously. That is the definition of reporting isn’t it ? There are 10s of millions…
A Disturbing Fidelity Ad
Like I do every Sunday, I was reading the NY Times business section. As I scanned the paper looking to see which articles I wanted to read, an ad caught my attention. There, staring at me, were the words “Guaranteed Income”. It caught my attention because when I saw the word “guaranteed” I fully expected…
Stimulus Plan Update – Deals in the Works
It takes a lot of time, but its been worth the effort. If anything, the response has reinforced two long held perspectives I have had about entrepreneurs and those who would like to be entrepreneurs. The first is that 95pct of people are dreamers who really don’t want to do the work. They would like…
The Stimulus Plan Update
The response has obviously been overwhelming. Its taken a lot of time, but I have gone through every post. More than 1,400 of them. As is usually the case with any blog post, the vast majority of people don’t actually read the post before they write a response. So the vast majority were dismissed because…
The Mark Cuban Stimulus Plan – Open Source Funding
Its easy to write about what the government or other people should do with our/their money. It’s harder to come up with a course of action that I can undertake on my own that possibly, somehow could make a difference. My first inclination is always to try to look “for the next big thing”. But…
My Idea to Help the Economy and the Credit Crunch
Consumer savings are way up. Doesn’t more savings mean more money in banks to lend ? Isn’t that a good thing ? Here is an idea for you. Create rewards for putting those savings in lending institutions, and reward the institutions for lending it out. Make the interest earned on savings accounts and CDs …
The Cubs
With all the support and encouragement I got to buy the team, I think its appropriate to share the decision making process behind what happened and why. Buying the Cubs was a unique opportunity to own one of the most storied franchises in sports. Its a team that represents so much to so many, with…
