TAX AND SPEND:

I'm skeptical of this claim that Obama will call for a five year non-defense spending freeze. This is a political gimmick. Over the last two years, Obama dramatically increased spending and modified the balance of looting in favor of the Democrats. The longer that balance stays in favor of Democrats, the harder it will be to change. So now that he's done so much damage to the people and his ruling class rivals, he wants to freeze the status quo in place, and he gets to appear like he's taking the middle ground while doing it. I bet Obama had this planned before he took office. It always appeared his strategy was to do as much damage as possible before he lost popularity and his majorities.

REGULATION:

Italian government wages war on cash because Italians rarely use credit and debit cards. That gives them too much freedom.

Don't buy the hype surrounding Obama's claim he'll cut business-harming regulation. All regulations harm business. It's just hot air. For example, the FTC is implementing a strategy to expand its regulatory power.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Well deserved criticism of the white-washes that passed for climategate investigations.

Here's a climate fraud's prediction from 2002:

"Within as little as 10 years, the world will be faced with a choice: arable farming either continues to feed the world’s animals or it continues to feed the world’s people. It cannot do both.The impending crisis will be accelerated by the depletion of both phosphate fertiliser and the water used to grow crops. Every kilogram of beef we consume, according to research by the agronomists David Pimental and Robert Goodland, requires around 100,000 litres of water. Aquifers are beginning the run dry all over the world, largely because of abstraction by farmers."

Oops. Yet you can bet this fraud is still being funded by tax dollars.

Obama State of the Union doesn't mention global warming or climate change.

POLICE STATE:

States plan to criminalize distracted walking.

WAR:

Big-name, supposedly anti-war lefties have been predictably silent about Obama's wars. The left is no more anti-war than the right. They're just anti-Republican war.

FOREIGN POLICY:

70 years of US aggression in the middle east led to the overthrow US-backed dictator in Tunisia and now Egyptians are trying to do the same to the US-backed regime in Egypt. Our government's aggression has radicalized the whole region, and the economic crisis is prompting revolution.

POLITICS:

Illinois Supreme Court temporarily puts Emanuel's name back on the ballot and will hear his appeal. He'll win. The only applies to serfs, not aristocrats.

While pretending to support smaller government, Mike Pence's website brags about number big-government programs he supported.

When the people start questioning the legitimacy of government, the ruling class factions pull together and lock arms.
