January 26, 2021 – Feel Any Different? Well, we have a new President of the United States.

Economic Commentary Feel Any Different? Well, we have a new President of the United States. Feel any different?

January 12, 2021 – Nothing is Easy. Certainly 2020 was not easy and our attempts to curtail the pandemic were not easy as well.

Economic Commentary Nothing is Easy. For those who are classic rock fans, the title of this very old song by the British band Jethro Tull might best describe our 2020 and our attempts to climb out of the pandemic.

January 5, 2021 – Looking Through The Looking Glass. You cannot look back at 2020 without using an acronym most of us had never heard of before 2020.

Economic Commentary Looking Through The Looking Glass. You cannot look back at 2020 without using an acronym most of us had never heard of before 2020. Of course, that acronym is COVID.

December 22, 2020 – The Stimulus Factor. It seems like the next step of government stimulus has been debated forever.

Economic Commentary The Stimulus Factor. It seems like the next step of government stimulus has been debated forever. When you are out of work or your business is hanging on, time moves very slowly.
