Coast Guard Shuts Down Oil Sucking Barges in Louisiana

I think I have to stop reading news blogs. I can’t take it anymore. The absolute incompetence and complete stupidity being demonstrated by the Administration and Coast Guard is going to be my undoing. Do these people actually want to stop the oil from reaching our shores or is it more important to follow some [...]

Job Losses Equal Unemplyment Rate Reduction

This makes no sense. The jobless rate dropped to 9.7%. But the country lost 20,000 jobs. I don’t get how that works. Oh wait. It’s the “new counting method”. From the AP: The unemployment rate dropped unexpectedly in January to 9.7 percent from 10 percent while employers shed 20,000 jobs, the government said Friday. The [...]

Liberal States are Bankrupt and Residents Are Leaving

If Socialism and Liberalism is so damn good then why are the biggest state failures and population decreases in liberal states? The Examiner notes: The latest numbers from the Census Bureau show that there is a mass exodus of taxpayers happening in all the most liberal states. This means that such states are not only [...]

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Have Access to Unlimited Funding

Taxpayers got themselves screwed again with the Treasury giving Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac limitless funding. These two entities will never be allowed to fail. And the taxpayers will be on the hook for bailing them out in perpetuity. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. From the 5-min Forecast: After being put into conservatorship [...]

Angelina Jolie Reportedly Hates Obama

Granted the rag that is reporting this is not exactly the most credible news outlet. But gossip site US Magazine is reporting that Jolie hates Obama: Barack Obama does not have Angelina Jolie’s seal of approval. “She hates him,” a source close to the U.N. goodwill ambassador, 34, tells the new issue of Us Weekly [...]

Spending is Destroying This Country – $700 Billion By 2019

This morning I read this horrifying statistic from the New York Times no less: The ultralow interest rates the U.S. has been paying on its colossal debt may not last much longer, and the White House estimates that the tab will exceed $700 billion a year in 2019. In ten years taxpayers of this country [...]

Obama Stimulus Equals Epic Fail – Small Businesses are Suffering

Government is not efficient. Recovery.gov indicates that 640,329 jobs have been created or saved thanks to the stimulus. Sounds fantastic until you realize that over 15 million people are unemployed, but I digress. The government has spent $194.5 billion taxpayer dollars of the stimulus. That equals $303,750 per job. Not even a member of the [...]

Health Care Victorious in House- Doomed For Failure in Senate

Best thing I read all day. From the AP: The glow from a health care triumph faded quickly for President Barack Obama on Sunday as Democrats realized the bill they fought so hard to pass in the House has nowhere to go in the Senate. All those Democrats that were bought off by Nancy Pelosi, [...]

President Obama is Doing a Terrible Job With the Economy

Unemployment is up to 10.2%. The percent of folks not fully employed is 17.5%. Obama and his Congress has managed to triple the deficit this year without creating meaningful employment. Fantastic work, Mr. President. And what do we get from this crisis? A cram down of a health care plan that does not solve the [...]

Let Your Voice Be Heard – From Rep. Mike Pence Concerning Health Care Reform

At least one politician in Washington gets it. Thanks Congressman Pence: Transcript: “As President Ronald Reagan said: ‘Since the American founding, we have been a people with a government, not the other way around.’” “Now comes the Pelosi plan for a government takeover of health care. It is a freight train of runaway spending, bloated [...]
