Jeff Ferry is Research Director at the Coalition for a Prosperous America. He writes “That for decades, economists have taught David Ricardo’s Law of Comparative Advantage as if it is an absolute law. But the tide is turning, as some highly respected economists are now moving away from the doctrinaire position that all free trade is always good everywhere, and they begin to acknowledge that free trade and large trade deficits have inflicted substantial harm on the U.S. economy.” “From the mid-1970s on, growing trade has also meant the growing loss of good-paying jobs to competitor nations. Around the year 2000, the process accelerated. Globalization entered a new phase, ‘hyper-globalization,'” which has wrought much pain and destruction upon American industrial corporations. How do we end it and have a healthy economy in the process?

The truth about online marketing. It’s easy if you know what you’re doing, but the problem is that most people don’t have a clue. That’s where Mike Gazzola comes in. He has a number of students who have far outperformed him. From ordering, to private labeling, to finding the right product, Mike shows you how to set up systems that work. Support is the name of the game. He showed how a bizarre product like a watermelon slicer could wind up on page 1 of Amazon and rack up major sales. And that’s just one example. There’s many more opportunities just waiting to be uncovered. Find out more at 
They’re voting with their feet. 800,000 people set to leave New York and California due to the new tax act. The death knell of these states is that the state and local tax deduction under the new law is limited to $10,000 per annum. In California just 43,000 people will be paying an average of $225,000 more per year. Some leftist economists have the gaul to argue that tax increases of this magnitude in high tax states will have no affect. This is naive and untrue. The migration from high tax states to low tax states has been going on for the past 50 years. Refusal to admit this reality will only result in disaster.

The biggest problem I’ve had doing my podcasting career is the quality of my Skype connection. For such a well established service, it has a number of deficiences. Dropped calls, fadeouts, clicks, latency issues, etc. And yet it appears to be the cleanest shirt in the laundry. Other services promise the moon and the stars, but can’t deliver. Worst part is that they rely upon you sending a connection link to get your interviewee on the call. This is often problematical. As a host, you want to be in control of the call. You don’t want to be sitting around waiting for your guest to remeber to connect. With Skype, unlike all the other services, either party to a call can initiate contact. For seven years I’ve looked for a solution. Finally, my good friend Joe Messina has found one. Used properly, it will reduce your Skype issues by a large percentage. It’s called QOS – Quality of Service. Found on your router settings, it enables you to allocate bandwith to different apps, programs and devices, either dynamically or in a fixed priority listing. It works amazingly well. If you’re using a cable company combo modem/router you probably don’t have access to DOS. However, you can simply configure your modem to shut down the built-in router and then connect an after market router. I’m using a Netgear AC1900 Nighthawk. It’s way faster than my cable co’s router and has QOS. Thus far I’m using the dynamic QOS setting and it’s working like a charm. You might also want to consider it, especially if you’re having too many Skype issues.
