Traveling By Rail

Posted on June 27, 2022 by lewbornmann

Travelers have numerous ways of getting from point A to B, but few modes of travel blend relaxation, efficiency, and scenery better than onboard a train. Travelers have numerous ways. Hopefully there will be a U.S. resurgence in construction and service within the near future. Continue reading →

Political Dissatisfaction

Posted on May 30, 2022 by lewbornmann

The U.S. faces numerous fundamental challenges and appears unable to reach any agreement as to how they should be resolved. The widening ideological rift prevents compromise on any but the most basic of issues. Continue reading →

Insurrection Revisited

Posted on January 10, 2022 by lewbornmann

Many of us watched the events at the U.S. Capital on 6 January 2021 transpire in shock and disbelief that anything such as that could possibly ever happen here in the U.S. – possibly elsewhere but certainly not here in the U.S. The attempted coup was in many ways constitutes a greater threat to American democracy that the attack on 911. For the first time we must accept the possibility of overthrow of our Constitution. Continue reading →

The Cost Of Strength

Posted on December 6, 2021 by lewbornmann

U.S. military expenditure cannot continue to increase every year as called for by military leaders. In the future, the U.S. will need to do more with less. This will require increased reliance on innovation and continuous process improvement. Continue reading →

Essential Tax Reform

Posted on October 4, 2021 by lewbornmann

Probably the single biggest problem regarding taxes is that extremely few politicians seem to have any understanding of them. Members of Congress should adhere to what they supposedly learned in basic ECON-101 rather than their party’s political ideology. Continue reading →

Revitalization Of Progressive Economics

Posted on August 9, 2021 by lewbornmann

Politics and economics are deeply related. The U.S. appears to be swinging back toward more progressive economics. Hopefully it will also result in a reduction of the extreme partisan division currently dividing us. Continue reading →

Conservative Ideology

Posted on March 1, 2021 by lewbornmann

Those on the conservative right invoked a nostalgia for the 1950s and an America that never was but they presume to have existed so as to rationalize their sense of loss and abandonment, their fear of change, their bitter resentments, and lingering contempt for the social movements of the 1960s; a time of new aspirations for women, gays, and people of color.

The U.S. Security Decline

The Last Real Republicans

Posted on October 22, 2018 by lewbornmann

It seems to me…. “Too often, it seems, conservatives have scorned experts as incompetent, biased, or otherwise worth ignoring because they came up with answers that didn’t fit their politically desired answer. Often, they proclaim experts have a liberal bias. … Continue reading →
