VOL. 115 - NO. 1 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, JANUARY 7, 2011 $.30 A COPY Boston Celebrates 2011 Scenes from New Year’s Eve Activities in Boston

The famous L Street Brownies from South Boston performed the annual dip in the frosty waters of South Boston’s beach on January 1, 2011. The unusually warm New Year’s Day brought out many more dippers who joined the original “Brownies.” First Night Boston drew a large crowd of revelers who (Photos by Rosario Scabin, Ross Photography) participated in the many activities. The kick off parade (More photos on 3) was on Boylston Street, Boston, which included many Boston community groups, military and gorgeous floats.

Since some people will think I just got lucky last year, so I decided to make some predictions for 2011: The overall economy will get no better or no worse. • L Street Brownies (Continued from Page 1) Even though President Obama believes he made a huge compromise by agreeing to extend the current tax rates for two years, that time period does not remove enough uncertainty from the business environment to stimu- late robust investments. Businesses will continue to be cautious with their cash, because they usually make big investments based on at least a five- to 10-year time frame to insure they get an adequate return on their investments. The two-year extension of tax rates, plus the two-per- centage-point payroll tax holiday for employees, will help, but it will not generate the robust economic growth we need to substantially reduce the unemployment rate, and stay ahead of the rapidly growing Chinese economy. We cannot tickle our economy into robust growth. We need bold economic stimuli and that does not mean more government spending. The $787 billion stimulus bill and the billions more in failed pop tart programs have shown that in spades! Namely, we cannot spend our way to pros- perity. We must grow our way back to economic prosper- ity. The newly elected House will “repeal and replace” ObamaCare. They must do so because the same voters that gave Republicans control of the House overwhelm- ingly want it repealed and replaced. Secondly, soon-to-be Speaker of the House John Boehner has publicly stated many times that they will do so. If any of Boehner’s Re- publican colleagues do not support him in that endeavor, they will be political dead meat in 2012. (Continued on Page 13)
