Political pundits love to obsess over the unemployment rate. “Can
President Obama win reelection if unemployment stays above 8 percent?”
“What number for unemployment is bad news for the president, and what
number helps him out?” But that talk is detached from the reality of the
economy. Small businesses around the country know that there’s still an
employment problem, even as the official unemployment rate drops from a
high of 10.1 percent in 2010 to 8.1 percent today.
This week I was fortunate enough to have Lieutenant Commander Jeffery
Lay on my Sirius XM radio show, and he was a great guest. A 24-year
veteran of the Navy—and a graduate of the famous TOPGUN school—he has
turned his eye toward Wall Street and corporate America since his
retirement from active duty, and he has some great ideas.
I haven’t decided who I will be voting for in the various November
elections, but I already know what criteria I’ll be using to decide. I’m
looking for candidates who will be completely unelectable when the next
election cycle rolls around. I want a one-term president, one-term
senators, and one-term congressmen.
