As I wrote before, there needs to be binding conditions attached to any bill raising the debt ceiling: Cancel all the unspent funds left in the Stimulus Bill Permanently extending all the current tax rates (no need to call them Bush’s tax cuts, they are OUR current tax rates). Freezing Obamacare for 4 years until […]

Could President Obama become one of this nation’s worst one-term presidents of all time? The historic drubbing his party took this month sure could leave some to that conclusion. His naive stimulus efforts, chasing those mythical federal ‘shovel ready’ jobs, have proven once and for all the impotence of Keynesian theory. The fact more people […]

So, the GOP has won an historic election in the House of Representatives and in state governments across the nation. So what can a cornered and desperate democrat party do? It can trick the new GOP members into the lame game of conspiracy theories. It can lay out some poisonous bread crumbs that will bring […]

People will not be sitting on unemployment for years anymore, waiting for the perfect job: The House of Representatives on Thursday voted down a measure that would have reauthorized extended unemployment insurance for another three months, leaving no clear path forward to prevent the benefits from lapsing as scheduled on Nov. 30. Without a reauthorization, […]

If the Congress needs to raise the debt ceiling then there will be a price to be paid for government not operating within its means. None of the GFY 11 budgets are in place so we have the perfect leverage at this time. I would tie the debt ceiling to: (1) Cancel all the unspent […]

I have written extensively about the mistakes made by this administration regarding terrorism. One thing Team Obama fears more than anything else is congressional investigations into how so many terrorists made it through our defenses and just barely failed to kill hundreds of innocent people, from the skies over Detroit to Times Square in NY […]

Have begun a new project so blogging will be lighter than it has been the last month or so. Today just wanted to share some dots that, when connected, make an interesting picture for the Democrats. First, Sean Trende at RCP captures true scope of the Democrats’ debacle in the election. As you can see, […]

Team Obama is completely in over their head. Latest example: the whole TSA groping issue as a classic example of how NOT to handle a crisis. Of course, we have yet to see Team Obama correctly handle ANY crisis. So, in response to their arrogant and heavy handed (pun intended) abuse of the traveling public, […]

Updates Below! It is amazing when you see elements of the left and right come together and agree on how this administration is screwing up. Of course, Obama always promised he would build consensus. I am just not sure he meant to do it this way. The issue of course is the rising backlash against […]

Major Update: If the TSA allows an exemption for Muslim women to these invasive and uncalled for “pat downs” (more like the forced gropes Iraqi women used to get from Saddam Hussein’s thugs) all hell will break lose. If a woman from Pakistan or Yemen can get a waiver but a 3 year old girl […]
