2 senators want to strip 10s of millions from stimulus bill. It seems to me that all 99 senators should want to strip 100s of billions from the stimulus bill.
45 percent of Americans want tax cuts as stimulus compared to only 37 percent who want Obama's big spending boondoggle. Americans are already suffering buyer's remorse. They should have thought more about it before they voted. Or maybe they bought Obama's bull that he supports tax cuts for 95 percent of Americans. In which case, they should have studied his record instead of believing his lies.
Obama nominee busted for working for lobbying group which lobbied for same bills she sponsored. I think Americans should unite and thank Obama for exposing the pervasive corruption that dominates the Democrat party that is systematically covered up by the media. He's doing the nation a great service by exposing the overwhelming corruption in the Democrat party. For far too long the media has promoted the myth that Republicans are corrupt and Democrats are not. Obama exploded that myth. They're all corrupt.
Chairman of the House Ways and Means committee, which oversees taxes, Charlie Rangel busted for cheating on his taxes again - this time for failing to claim royalties on his book. These Democrats are happy to raise our taxes because they don't bother paying theirs. Rangel should resign.
Allegations of fraud in Iraqi elections sound all too familiar here in Ohio.
Obama promises to expand faith-based initiatives. These are welfare programs like any other, and there's nothing compassionate about welfare. He's going to expand this to community organizations. How much you want to bet that means ACORN?
Breakdown of who gets what tax credits, not tax cuts, in stimulus boondoggle.
11 detainees released from Guantanamo on Saudi Arabia's most wanted list despite having passed Saudi Arabia's extremist rehabilitation program. What program?
"Besides the 11 people (on the wanted list) who came from Guantanamo, there are still 106 people who have gone through this rehabilitation program and are doing OK," al-Turki told the Associated Press by phone.
I'm not comforted by Saudi Arabia's assurance that the other 106 extremists are doing OK. If they are, they probably didn't belong in Guantanamo in the first place.
This woman should definitely be fired for this racist email, though it's obviously a joke. The Republican Party shouldn't tolerate this kind of stuff. I bet the Democrats passed that joke around without repercussions though.
TARP watchdog says the Treasury Dept. overpaid $78 billion for bank assets. In other words, 31 percent of the TARP funds spent propping up banks was wasted. This is part and parcel of big government. Big government is wasteful. Big government is stupid. Big government is corrupt. We deserve this because we empowered the 2 big government parties that are destroying our country. Now we're going down the same path with Obama's stimulus boondoggle.
Mises scholar claims the Fed is nearly insolvent, and the only thing that can save it is a federal bailout. Basically, it has purchased so much bad debt from the financial system, that if any of the debt is not repaid, the Fed will go bankrupt. We're on the verge of the inevitable collapse of the Fed since we got off the gold standard, and it's fitting that it would end the Greenspan/Bernanke era of irresponsible monetary policy. I love charts in the this essay, but many people hate that stuff. But if nothing else, this article shows that the Fed is effectively a shadow government. It lists program after program that Bernanke and his subordinate Fed chiefs have created on their own completely independent of the typical legislative process.
We don't need a smart grid, and if we did need one, the market would create it without any interference from government. This is a boondoggle project trying to capitalize on global warming alarmism. The government needs to stay out of it and let the market upgrade our power grid.
I wish I had thought of this catchy phrase to explain government irresponsibility. The politicians keep telling us we don't have a moment to spare, but we have multiple trillions of tax dollars to spare. It's madness. They have it exactly backwards. We have plenty of time, but we don't have any money. The federal government is bankrupt to the tune of $54 trillion.
Since we can't depend on consumers to spend money they don't have on stuff they don't need, the government has to do it for them.
Head judge orders last Guantanamo judge to stop trial.
Obama is losing his cool. He's lashing out at Republicans for standing firm against his stimulus boondoggle, and he's showing his true colors about bipartisanship. He's not ready to lead, and it's already showing. It's too bad this guy doesn't have half the class of Bush. For all Bush's failures, he was never anything but gracious to Democrats even when they were slandering him with irresponsible, divisive rhetoric that harmed the country. When Obama talks about bipartisanship, what he really means is he expects Republicans to do exactly what he wants in return for hanging out with him at a Super Bowl party. Now he's just making a fool out of himself by claiming that tax cuts don't stimulate the economy but big spending does. That's baloney, because every time tax cuts, and I real tax cuts, not Obama's one time tax credits that he pretends are tax cuts, the economy responds. It happened in the early 60s, the early 80s, and the early this decade. Big spending in the 30s, 70s and this decade made the economy worse.
The New York Fed predicts this recession will end by the middle of this year. It would have ended earlier if government had left well enough alone.
