TAX AND SPEND:

Another company handsomely paid by taxpayers to carry out boondoggle government goals has gone bankrupt.

"As the government prepares Thursday to commit billions of dollars to bring high-speed Internet to rural areas, the biggest-­ever such project has collapsed.The company Open Range, backed by a commitment of $267 million in loans from the Agriculture Department, filed for bankruptcy this month. Taxpayers are on the hook for $74 million that the upstart hasn’t repaid. And now the company, some analysts and a senior government official are blaming poor judgment and Washington bureaucracy as the reasons Open Range failed."

I wonder if people realize how common this stuff has become. Our government is destroying our country at an amazing rate.

REGULATION:

The relative free market in China.

EDUCATION:

Here goes Ron Paul, confusing things again. He argues that he has no intention of ending student loans right away. Why not? Student loans are harmful to the students because they drive up the price of college. They're harmful to the taxpayer because government steals their money to fund them. They're harmful to our economy because they take resources out of the productive private economy and squander them in the parasitic political economy. This is why Ron Paul can't break into the mainstream. If he would stand up on principle and say he would immediately abolish all student loans to improve the lives and education of students, the lives of taxpayers, and the lives of every American, he might win the nomination. But he won't stand on principle.

Here's the numbers on Obama's vote buying through student loan modification program.

"The monthly impact of the president's new effort for most Americans paying off college debt will be between $4 and $8."

Wow.

POLICE STATE:

Who released a toxic gas cloud in the US? Hint: it wasn't terrorists.

POLITICS:

I've been wondering how in the world the dozen Occupy Dayton people have been allowed to set up a shanty town in Courthouse Square. I have contacted Major Faulkner so far, because I figured he was going to run them out. If they're not out by Monday, I'm going to email him and ask him how that works. I doubt just anybody can set up a tent and move into Courthouse Square. I think it tea partiers tried to do that, they'd be run out the first night. Tea Partiers in Richmond Virginia feel the same way.

""The city of Richmond is allowing Occupy Richmond to blatantly break the law day after day while forcing other groups to strictly comply," a news release from the tea party group said."

I think this is happening everywhere.

The Heritage Foundation points to Alexander Hamilton, the original architect of the big government currently crushing our country, as an example of somebody who "got America." No.

MEDIA:

Establishment Republican George Will to blast the establishment's favorite candidate: Mitt Romney. Let's hope so. He's the worst of the Republicans. Other than Santorum.

The media wants to know about all the grades of all the Republicans, but they cover up for Obama's cover up of his grades.

MISC:

CDC director charged with two counts of child molestation and one count of bestiality.

"Another shocking case involving the CDC is that of Dr. Poul Thorsen, who, after being found to have falsified documents, was indicted on fraud, money laundering and tax evasion after stealing somewhere between $1-2 million in research grant money from the CDC.Here you might wonder why I'm faulting the CDC, as the organization was the victim of fraud. The reason I fault them is because they hired Dr. Thorsen to debunk the link between thimerosal in vaccines and autism—which he did to their satisfaction. However, CDC officials may have played a significant role in "guiding" this research to their desired end, and now that Thorsen has been exposed as a fraud, the agency still upholds his research as being of high caliber."

Government money corrupts everything it touches, and the worst of the worst are attracted to government.
