Here’s the guy President Obama just did an end-run around the Senate to appoint to the new CFPB, which is supposed to protect consumers. He believes the Commerce Clause gives the federal government the right to mandate what we purchase. During an interview in 2010 he said that lawsuits against Obamacare are frivolous. In laying out his...
Does this guy even realize that this will do to the Nation? The approval is expected to go through without a challenge, given that Congress is in recess until later in January and the request is in line with an agreement to keep the U.S. government funded into 2013. The debt is projected to...
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il’s dead body is on display, so what better time than now to take a look at his record as ruler of the communist state. While most of the talking heads focus on the threat he posed to the rest of the world, few mention what his statist policies...
Our nation was not founded to be a centrally planned socially straight-jacketed empire ruled by the decrees of a sovereign.
Mitt Romney takes a lot of heat for his flip flops, which he should. But why are the same conservatives who loathe Romney so quick to jump on the Newt Gingrich bandwagon? I know, I know, he sounds great in the debates. But look at his history. Yesterday Mona Charen noted how he has...
My headache is intensifying. President Obama’s jobs plan contains a little provision that would create more czars. That’s just what we need, more un-elected bureaucrats managing trillions of taxpayer dollars. This is something I don’t recall hearing him touting as he travels to swing states on our dime, selling this awful plan. Instead, in...
According to Labor Union Report, the Department of Labor is about to “sucker punch America’s job creators” in order to throw another big bone to the unions. With this administration, while the right hand is waving, you always have to watch what the left hand is doing. President Obama has been out delivering his...
Listen to Dem. Rep. Jan Schakowsky describe how we don’t deserve to keep the dollars we earn, because there are so many government employees we must all help to pay for. She’s a real peach, that one. She said we all need to pay our “fair share” to cover all of the things people...
This is a heartbreaking story out of the United Kingdom. A family is about to be torn apart by the equivalent of the US Department of Health and Human Services, or perhaps a lower level Child Protective Services agency, because the children are overweight. Whatever it is, it’s just wrong. Four obese children are...
The Central New York Regional Economic Development Council (CNYREDC), brainchild of Andrew “New York is open for business” Cuomo, will hold its inaugural meeting in Syracuse tomorrow, ironically enough on the campus of SUNY-ESF a tax-payer funded institution. But don’t change your plans just yet if you’re thinking of attending to find out what great ideas...
While the dinosaur media spent most of the last three weeks covering/hyping/spinning/distracting-the-masses/misinforming/obsessing over the “Great Debt Ceiling Debate”, the Obama-driven train to statist hell kept on chugging along, full speed ahead. Follow these links to news items of just this past week, if you have the slightest interest in things that actually matter: Democrats...
Arthur Brooks has a great piece in today’s Wall Street Journal that’s worth reading in its entirety. Whatever happens in the next few weeks on the debt ceiling, we still have a long way to go when it comes to our culture, the welfare state and the size and scope of government. Consider a...
With all evidence clearly pointing to the abysmal failure of the original “stimulus”, QE1, or QE2 to provide any impetus whatsoever for economic recovery, the braintrust over at the Federal Reserve is now considering an additional monetary influx to shore things up. From Bloomberg.com “A few members noted that, depending on how economic conditions evolve, the committee might...
Sigh. The bill to repeal the ban on incandescent lightbulbs didn’t pass because a 2/3 majority was needed and there are still enough statists in the House who think they know what’s best for us. Well folks, if you hate the new and not so improved expensive and mercury filled swirly light bulbs, you...
