TAX AND SPEND:

Obama's economic advisor Christina Romer says a one percent tax increase reduces economic output by three percent. That's because you have to pay for spending twice. But Obama loves that. He wants to raise taxes specifically to reduce our economy and make us all poorer.

I always get a good laugh when I see Obama's claim on the campaign trail that he would cut spending.


REGULATION:


Here's another reminder that government is the enemy of progress:

"The Federal Trade Commission’s time machine worked its magic again, restoring the market for a particular group of herbicides to its pre-2008 condition"

The FTC dragged the country backwards 3 years.


GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:


Prizes offered for solutions to clean up the oil in the Gulf. Let nature do it. Send me my prize.


WAR ON DRUGS:


George Will reminds how stupid the war on drugs is and how misguided the prohibitionists are:

"In “Waking Giant: America in the Age of Jackson,” historian David S. Reynolds writes that in 1820, Americans spent on liquor a sum larger than the federal government’s budget. By the mid-1820s, annual per capita consumption of absolute alcohol reached seven gallons, more than three times today’s rate. “Most employers,” Reynolds reports, “assumed that their workers needed strong drink for stimulation: a typical workday included two bells, one rung at 11 a.m. and the other at 4 p.m., that summoned employees for alcoholic drinks.”"

End these wars on Americans.


POLICE STATE:


FBI agents busted for lying on test. Suppose you or I had been busted for lying on a test about national security given to us by the FBI. What do you think would happen to us? Needless to say, the FBI agents are above the law.


WAR:


Any honest rally supporting the troops would call to bring them home so they can live. Forcing them to fight and die so some politically connected rich guys and corporations can control the Afghanistan mineral wealth is abominable.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:

Obama deports illegal aliens in record numbers.


Federal judge temporarily blocks key sections of the new Arizona immigration law. This is all we're going to hear about for God knows how long. I have a better solution for Arizona. End your welfare state. Then the illegal aliens who don't pull their weight will go elsewhere.

POLITICS:

Democrats' new campaign finance bill, called the disclose act, favors Democrat donors. Imagine that.

MISC:

Doomsday shelters on the rise.

Blackmail should not be a crime. It's one of government's ways of protecting the rich and powerful from the consequences of their actions and from having to made honest deals with the common people.
