Tax and Spend

Boehner gives Democrats exactly what they want with clean debt limit increase. He should put a D next to his name. Democrats overwhelmingly pass Boehner's bill. Only 28 Republicans voted for it. Republicans should elect a new speaker. Butler County should elect a new congressman. Boehner is the only Ohio Republican to vote yes.

CBO warns debt could cause fiscal crisis. Duh.

In the mean time, Canada is on on pace to balance its budget by next year.

"The low-key spending plan leaves Prime Minister Stephen Harper well-positioned to offer tax breaks and other initiatives in the runup to an election scheduled for October next year.

"Some people will say this budget is boring," Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told reporters ahead of the budget speech. "Boring is good.""

It would be nice to have a sane government. They all loot, but the US has gone insane with looting and will wipe every American but the richest out.

Pat Buchanan hopes the CBO's report on Obamacare spells an end to the welfare state. Yeah, right. He's still operating under the assumption that people in government want to do the right thing.

USDA taxes milk then uses the money to promote eating pizza under the auspice of promoting eating milk and cheese. Dairy farmers would be better off keeping that money for themselves.

Residents so frustrated with government snow plow drivers burying their cars and driveways in more snow, they assault drivers. Just trying to do their job is no excuse for harming others.

Firms must swear to the IRS that Obamacare wasn't the impetus for personnel cuts.

"Obama officials made clear in a press briefing that firms would not be allowed to lay off workers to get into the preferred class of those businesses with 50 to 99 employees. How will the feds know what employers were thinking when hiring and firing? Simple. Firms will be required to certify to the IRS – under penalty of perjury – that ObamaCare was not a motivating factor in their staffing decisions. To avoid ObamaCare costs you must swear that you are not trying to avoid ObamaCare costs. You can duck the law, but only if you promise not to say so."

Creepy.

Now we have propaganda about potential life on the moon to promote NASA stealing money for its next moon mission.
