Update: ACORN claims a right to steal our money to pay off delinquent mortgages – this will not go over well! H/T Allahpundit Plus: Ed Morrissey chimes in. Morrissey is right, this woman should still be able to pay the mortgage, unless she took ridiculous risks. Still, not my problemo! Major Update: We are not […]

We have one clear indicator now visible regarding the Spendulus Package, the Bank Bailouts and the next round of Congressional Pork spending (the spending bills for the rest of the Government Fiscal Year (GFY) which the Dems decided to put off until Obama was in office). The DOW continues to tank – which is a […]

 I have come to realize that one requirement needed to join the political fringe of the left (and at times the right) is a serious lack of basic mathematical skills. With a rising wave of voter revolt appearing from his spendulus bill debacle, President Obama is now introducing an even more bizarre economic proposal for a […]

 You can only cry “Wolf!” only so many times before people reject you because you lost all credibility with them. The liberal Democrats now in charge in DC have royally screwed up, and in record time. Their blindness to what they were doing, and how it could fail spectacularly, is a testament to their […]

Spendulus has passed. America as seen the largest theft of money by ideologues in its history. No war ever caused this to happen. And the so called ‘stimulus bill’ has very little real stimulus in it. What there is is not enough to turn the economy around, and the spending doesn’t really kick in until […]

So as the economy grows we can support more debt as a PERCENTAGE of our Gross Domestic Product. Basically, we can loan ourselves a few percent each year to deal with some challenges. […]

I have to say that anyone who sat out the last election because McCain was not conservative enough for them is pretty much an idiot. Sorry – but anyone who allowed Obama and the Dems to take control by sitting out the election in a fit is just as responsible for the coming mess as […]

This is nuts. The economy may be rebounding a bit days before we go mortgage the next two generations with debt at the alter of liberal pork spending: Sales at U.S. retailers unexpectedly halted a record six-month slide in January, an advance that may not be sustained as job losses climb. The 1 percent increase […]

Oh for Pete’s sake, is this all we get from all the Chicken Little cries emanating from DC? It includes Obama’s signature “Making Work Pay” tax credit for 95 percent of workers, though negotiators agreed to trim the credit to $400 a year instead of $500 — or $800 for married couples, cut from Obama’s […]

Final Update: Jennifer Rubin has probably summarized the result of the stimulus bill the best today: The president seems likely to win the battle but lose the argument — and the war. The battle is the stimulus bill which passed the Senate on Tuesday and will clear the conference committee this week. But the argument […]
