Earlier this evening the House passed the first part of “Plan B” which deals with spending cuts and cuts to the military. They were supposed to vote later on the second part dealing with taxes. That bill would have left…
On Friday I tried to aggregate various news reports to bring you up to date on what transpired at Sandy Hook Elementary School and just about everything the media reported, that I linked to, was wrong. Rather than take some time…
Yesterday a measure that would have saved $20 billion in ten years from the food stamp program failed to pass in the Senate. That wouldn’t have been a drastic cut seeing that the federal government will spend $770 billion on…
President Obama’s beloved Buffett Rule failed today in the United States Senate. The Wall Street Journal reported that every Republican voted against the measure with the exception of Senator Susan Collins from Maine. (Shocking, I know.) All of the Democrats…
