As Prof. Jacobson pointed out, passage of the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill would be as disastrous as Obamacare. It might actually be worse. Obamacare still isn’t fully implemented, and there might be a slim chance of repealing it in…
Yesterday Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, was hauled in front of the United States Senate to testify about the company’s tax practices. Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) went off on him because they don’t pay US taxes on foreign earnings,…
I seem to remember some politicians promising us that newly legalized immigrants would not be able to receive welfare benefits. I must have been mistaken, seeing that a Senate panel just approved welfare payments for those they want to legalize.…
The Senate passed the “Marketplace Fairness Act” which is going to be a hot mess for businesses with online sales. Senator Ted Cruz explained earlier how awful this bill is, and later took to the Senate floor to speak out…
President Obama previously threatened to veto a bill that would have allowed flexibility in carrying out the sequester cuts, which are actually just cuts to increased spending and quite puny when you look at the overall budget. So the sequester…
The gun control amendment sponsored by Senators Joe Manchin and Pat Toomey died in the Senate today. Several Democrats, including Harry Reid, voted against it, while four Republicans (Toomey, McCain, Collins and Kirk) voted for it. This doesn’t mean the…
Harry Reid is still shy of votes on gun control. At least for now. They’re working it hard. The White House and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are shy of the 60 votes they need to move the bipartisan compromise…
Some Republican senators are fuming because only one hearing is scheduled on an immigration reform bill that hasn’t even been released yet. It will probably be over 1,000 pages, so one hearing hardly seems sufficient. “A single hearing scheduled so…
Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that the Obamacare fines and penalties are just a tax, the Pacific Legal Foundation has found a way to possibly see the law overturned, based on that SCOTUS ruling. The group has filed…
Democrats are probably breathing a sigh of relief on the news that Ashley Judd won’t be running against Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell. But I’m sure Republicans are disappointed, she really would have given them plenty of fodder. It certainly would…
Here’s a little bit of good news. The Senate voted down the UN Arms Treaty in an amendment attached to the budget. It’s bad enough politicians in our country want to take away our rights, imagine if we signed our…
After four long years Senate Democrats finally passed a budget. The last time they passed a budget there were no iPads. Of course the budget they passed would raise taxes by a trillion dollars. The Senate on Saturday narrowly passed…
Did you know that the United States Senate has its own barbershop with unionized employees that loses about $350,000 per year? That’s right, we the taxpayers are subsidizing Senators’ haircuts. The Senate sergeant at arms is trying to privatize the…
This is funny. Ashley Judd is said to be seriously considering a run for Senate in Kentucky, even though she was a delegate for Barack Obama from Tennessee. She also has compared mining to rape, which probably won’t play well…
