The morons in DC are still not getting it. We have been given a choice – real cuts Tuesday or fantasy cuts 10 years in the future, after trillion more in generational debt. An epic fail. The ridiculous plan proposed this weekend has a series of flaws. First and foremost, there are only about $900 [...]

I noted on Friday that the Tea Party and GOP stalwarts in the House were not only winning the debate in DC, everyone outside the DC bubble (akin to Get Smart’s Cone Of Silence above) knew that the debt limit forcing function now hanging over the DC elites has never been, nor will ever will [...]

Obama and Reid are going to take the country to ‘default’ because they are mindless liberal zealots who arrogantly believe they are of the chosen few on Earth who can dictate to everyone what is ‘right’. They will take us all through hell to get their way. Over at Powerline they are having a contest [...]

Major Update: So the house passed the final tweaked version of the Boehner bill with 2 votes to spare. I am good with the bill on many fronts. It is a small debt ceiling increase (~$900M) with equal cuts in spending. No more debt ceiling increases can be automatically implemented without passage of a balanced [...]

As expected, the global warming debate is now over with data coming in from the last decade which completely destroys the ‘science’ of global warming predictions: NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, [...]

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution says in part: Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume [...]

Look at the future of Obamacare America – and be very, very afraid: Hip replacements, cataract surgery and tonsil removal are among operations now being rationed in a bid to save the NHS money. Two-thirds of health trusts in England are rationing treatments for “non-urgent” conditions as part of the drive to reduce costs in [...]

Major Update: If Boehner’s bill is a short term hike in the ceiling of less than $1 trillion, and comes with equal cuts, then I say vote for passage. I have said all along small real steps are preferred over grand visions of fiction and foolery. I am all for revisiting this every 6 months [...]

Charles Krauthammer was on Bill O’Reilly last night and was voicing a major (and legitimate) concern. Since it is impossible to get everything we want now, with only the House under GOP control and therefore open to pressure from the GOP and Tea Party Libertarians, how do we declare victory and reap some rewards on [...]

My fellow American Dupes & Stooges, it seems the President and his Treasury Secretary have been running around crying “Wolf!” and basically lying their asses off to us: While officials from the Obama Administration raised their rhetoric over the weekend about the possibility of a debt default if the debt ceiling isn’t raised, they privately [...]

President Obama will go down in history – as another one-term disaster juts like Jimmy Carter. Why? Because he has lost all credibility. His political capitol is all used up and every time he comes out spouting platitudes and partial truths (like he did last night) he digs the hole deeper. He is not inspiring [...]

Obama’s prime time BS-er will go down in history as the prime example of how stupid you sound when you have lost all credibility and political capitol. Obama claimed we are here because Congress (HIS Congress) made promises it could not keep. Brilliantly dumb. He also claimed the GOP wanted him to give in, and [...]

I like this: Members of the Senate Tea Party Caucus have met with House freshmen to discuss a plan to pressure House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to bring the Full Faith and Credit Act to the floor. … The legislation would direct Obama to prioritize federal payments to the nation’s creditors, Social Security recipients and [...]

Time to put the Dems on a Diet. Democrats have been in denial so deep and for so long it borders on the insane when it comes to the mood of the country on more government growth (and debt). The Debt Limit was the first major hurdle for the new GOP led House to begin [...]

It seems the petulant Democrats are all upset because Mommy & Daddy Americans took their credit cards away from them after they blew their capitol on bogus and wasteful programs and ran up historic deficits. After emerging from a lunch meeting on Thursday with members of her party and Jack Lew, the White House budget [...]
