Today I got a good scare.  I was driving down a back road in the middle of nowhere.  A mile or so ahead of me I could see a school bus pulled over to the side of the road dropping off children.  There were no red lights, no stop sign, and no children.  Its hazard lights were flashing, not its red lights.

There was only one vehicle there waiting for the children and I could not see a driver in it.  This was not an area where children would be dropped off and expected to walk home.  Due to the extended time the bus was at the side of the road with its hazard lights flashing and what appeared to be an empty vehicle on the opposite side of the road, I guessed that the other parent was talking to the bus driver on the side of the road that was blocked from my view by the bus.

Fox News has reported Commercial Real Estate at an all time low, with 40% across the nation in Bankruptcy or buildings for sale.  Does that mean, people who were Self-employed occupied those offices.  Absolutely!  Continue reading →

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack (CA-45) today responded to the President’s jobs plan outlined today and emphasized her support for solutions that will create jobs and bring fiscal discipline to Washington:

“With unemployment at 10 percent nationally and over 14 percent in Riverside County, it is clear that the Administration and Congress must act on real solutions that will get Americans working again,” said Bono Mack.  “I welcome this renewed focus on the economy and job creation – the $1 trillion stimulus package, with its waste and focus on government spending, has fallen far short of America’s expectations and has not produced the jobs Americans so desperately need.
