The fun never stops, folks. Yesterday the CBO released a report stating that the Democrats’ massive stimulus bill (AKA Porkulus), that funded things like assaults on our senses, “saved or created” between 1.3 and 3.5 million jobs. This, despite the fact that unemployment is higher now than before Porkulus was passed, and more people...
I guess New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s nanny state campaign against sugar is considered to be a shovel-ready job by the Obama administration. Why else would they have funded it with Porkulus money? Like the Obama’s Mayor Bloomberg is quite the hypocrite when it comes to diet and lifestyle, we all know the...
Why doesn’t this surprise me? The US government is offering private intelligence companies contracts to create software to manage “fake people” on social media sites and create the illusion of consensus on controversial issues. The contract calls for the development of “Persona Management Software” which would help the user create and manage a variety...
Speaker of the House John Boehner said that President Obama has increased the size of the federal government by a whopping 200,000 new jobs since he took office. Boehner went on to say that if some of those jobs are lost, “So be it. We are broke.” Well, if Obama has his way, even...
What more can I add? President Obama’s proposed budget would increase funding to public broadcasters. Seriously. Obama pledged in his State of the Union speech to freeze discretionary spending for five years. However, CPB general programming grants rise from $430 million in the current fiscal year (2011) to $445 million...
Michelle Obama touted some “cute” tricks to keep our kids thin that will be aired, on our dime, on 33,000 media outlets. One “cute trick” is to lie and fool them into running up and down stairs while begging for money. How about a commercial with a kid asking for money, and the mom...
$157,000,000,000. That’s a lot of zeros, and a lot of tax dollars spent in 2010 for education. And what does the country have to show for it? Failing schools, high drop-out rates and inadequate school resources. Public schools across the nation are firing teachers and cancelling programs in Music, Art, and Physical Education - the latter shrouded in irony as...
This is so not great. When will Republicans learn? Do they think they gained the majority in the House to help President Obama spend billion of dollars we don’t have on costly high speed rail projects? Apparently, they do, since The Hill is reporting that two of them are embracing Obama’s high speed rail...
This guy Terry Thompson has inspired me to start a “Porker of the Week” post. If not for the competition from so many national politicians he could win for the entire year. In 2007, the Wayne Township School Board and then-Superintendent Terry Thompson agreed to a renegotiated contract that provided a generous retirement package for...
Sorry, that was a silly question. I pay my own electric bill. Oh wait, I pay theirs, too. At least in the buildings where they leave the lights on all night. Do you leave your lights on all night long? I don’t, other than little night lights. (We have kids.) We’re constantly told by...
In case you missed it, the New York Times reported that US taxpayers have paid $160 million defending Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their executives against lawsuits accusing them of fraud. The bulk of those expenditures — $132 million — went to defend Fannie Mae and its officials in various securities suits and...
Your tax dollars at work! Our federal government is $14 trillion in debt, state budgets are deeply in the red, yet the Department of Labor is rewarding grants to colleges to train students on non-existent green jobs. The Daily Caller reported: The Department of Labor has issued several million dollars in grants to community...
Well, I guess you could say we did loan Nancy Pelosi our credit cards, and look what she did! In the 1,461 days that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) served as speaker of the House, the national debt increased by a total of $5.343 trillion ($5,343,452,800,321.37) or $3.66 billion per day ($3.657,394,113.84), according toofficial debt...
