June 14th is Flag Day, and even though it's not a major holiday, we still need to remember to take a moment to acknowledge the American flag and all that it stands for. And that goes beyond simply saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Today we need to truly appreciate living in this country.
Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness -- whatever America means to you is symbolized by the stars and stripes, and we should feel a sense of pride and gratitude every time we salute Old Glory.

The Jobs Gap—And How Washington Can Help Fix It |
|
Friday’s job report was a big miss. Most analysts expected the economy to create one million jobs in April. Instead, businesses added a paltry 266,000 new jobs—that’s a gap of almost 750,000 jobs. Did I say it was a big miss? However, the unemployment rate remained essentially unchanged at 6.1 percent. At the same time, wages rose 0.7 percent from March and the labor force increased 430,000 overall. As first glance, it seems the economy is sending us lots of mixed signals.
But is it? Taking a bit closer look at the numbers provides us some answers and the key is the labor market.

|
The Biden Administration released its budget recently, and what business owners should be wary about is not the spending, but the collections! Compliance will be key, as more and more auditors will be on the government payroll. Increasing every departments officers and auditors, will increase activity by as much as 400% in some agencies. Be prepared, and be compliant ...
Remember, a government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you own.
