When I read some statements in the Oct. 3 issue, I found myself grinding my teeth. Michael Hicks referred to long-dead economists by observing that the British economist John Maynard Keynes proposed deficit spending to help remedy a deep recession.

With all due respect Terri Jett [Oct. 10 Forefront], your party’s history of promises about the government giving people things they can’t provide for themselves—more income, better health care, advanced education, cheaper mortgages and an overall “shiny, happy life” have been made time and again throughout history by speakers much more eloquent than our made-for-TV […]

I must express my concern and dismay with Mayor Ballard’s failure to live up to his stated objectives for governing Indianapolis.
To no surprise, the economy and job creation were leading campaign issues in the 2010 gubernatorial elections. As a result, several new governors were elected across the country.
It’s election season, and as I’ve watched the ads, debates and speeches—it’s occurred to me that the complexity of our society and world may be outstripping our ability to govern ourselves.
I wasn’t alone in being underwhelmed with the details of the new Apple phone. No iPhone 5? I’ve got to settle for an upgraded 4S after waiting all this time?
