The national debt tops $15 trillion, and the federal government is likely to hit the debt ceiling again before the next election. But that hasn’t stopped them from spending $750,000 on a new soccer field for the terrorists holed up at Guantanamo Bay. It sounds like life is pretty good for the detainees....
The Government Accountability Office released its annual report, and usual, the government is wasting billions of dollars every year on duplicate and overlapping programs. According to Fox News, Gene Dodaro, comptroller general for the U.S, said that if the actions recommended by the GAO are taken the taxpayers could save tens of billions per...
The following is a guest post by Joseph Hall. *** It’s Time to Restructure the US Postal Service. With the UP Post Office on the verge of collapse, it’s time to seek the option that will provide the best chance for survival. Friends of mine in the Postal Service love the generous benefits but...
Not many Americans want to buy expensive and fire-prone electric cars like the Chevy Volt. But that hasn’t stopped President Obama from wasting billions of our dollars subsidizing production of the vehicles on one end and their sale on the other. He’s failed to realize the error of his ways, and wants to increase...
Isn’t it odd that President Obama is out there pretending to be the champion of the little guy, while his administration is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars fixing up one yacht? But not to worry, it’s an environmentally friendly yacht, so you should just smile and wave as it sails on by. The...
Fisker Automotive is another recipient of President Obama’s “green” subsidies. The cars they make cost more than $100,000 and they’re manufactured in Finland, even though the auto company is based in the US. According to Politico, they’re laying off an “undisclosed number of employees.” “They’re trying to preserve the cash that they have,” said...
In the Senate a bipartisan amendment to the STOCK Act was introduced that would ban earmarks. Well, Harry Reid is having none of it, he’s a big fan of earmarks. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gave a forceful defense of congressional earmarks on Tuesday, a sign that bipartisan legislation to permanently ban pork-barrel spending...
The Congressional Budget Office confirms what most of us already knew – that federal employees are overpaid when compared to private sector employees. The only demographic where the private sector does better is with workers with a doctorate degree or the equivalent. Lower-level federal workers do far better than their private sector counterparts. As...
I just heard a clip of President Obama blathering about “investing” more money in green energy. Enough already! Yet another green company that received stimulus cash has filed for bankruptcy. This is insanity. Heritage reported: The company, Ener1, received a $118 million grant from DOE in 2010 as part of the president’s stimulus package....
The Environmental Protection Agency announced that they are awarding the Onondaga Environmental Institute a $25,000 environmental justice grant. The reason for the grant, they say, is that Onondaga Lake is polluted, and this grant will be used to teach Syracuse students about clean water. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is providing a $25,000 grant...
Take anything President Obama says about fiscal responsibility with a grain of salt. He spends money like there’s no tomorrow. Just look at his failed pitch to bring the Olympics to Chicago. While the nation was facing a large-scale crisis involving Iran’s nuclear ambitions, two wars abroad and a failing economy at home, the...
Occupy Wall Street may be running out of money, but it isn’t because they’re spending it on Port-A-Potties for the Washington, DC Occupods. No, we the taxpayers get to foot the bill for that. This is unbelievable. America’s taxpayers, already on the hook for watching over the Occupy movement’s three-month seizure of Washington’s downtown...
The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be a boon for a few fortunate members of our society. I heard somewhere that it will be hiring 700 new federal government workers. One of the job openings is for an “invitations coordinator.” It pays $53,500.00 to $102,900.00 per year for scheduling meetings and tracking who will attend...
Government Motors is recalling thousands of Chevy Volts because the batteries pose a fire hazard. I’m so glad our hard earned tax dollars continue to be wasted on these cars. GM will ask Volt owners to return the cars to dealers for structural modifications, said the person, who did not want to be identified...
