Worse Than Enron, Worse Than Madoff

May 12, 2009

At the end of each fiscal year, the Treasury Department issues a financial report. The last such report was the 2008 Financial Report Of the United States Government. There is a link to the Citizens Guide version of the report here. The stated 2008 deficit under President Bush was $454.8 billion. That was the largest [...]

If You Can't Dazzle 'Em With Brilliance…

May 9, 2009

Baffle 'em with you-know-what. If Washington D.C. has a credo, that must surely be it. The media isn't far behind. But before I get into that, I'd like to take a moment to thank President Obama for saving us all from last week's swine flu pandemic (worldwide epidemic). Just think, if Bush was still the [...]

Another Day, Another $275 Billion

February 20, 2009

President Obama met with 85 mayors today to tell them to spend their stimulus money responsibly. This strikes me as roughly equivalent to giving 85 alcoholics each a fifth of Jack Daniels and then telling them to drink responsibly. Right. Like that's gonna happen. The last I heard, the partisan breakdown of the group of [...]

Only The First Step

February 5, 2009

President Obama signed the SCHIP expansion into law yesterday amid great Democratic fanfare. As Democrats like to do, Obama pointed out a family that would benefit by his wonderful legislation (this time it was the Secrest family). Unmentioned, of course, were the hundreds of thousands of families to be hurt by the tax increase which [...]

Obama's Economic News Conference

January 8, 2009

President-elect Barack Obama introduced his economic plan during a short speech yesterday. Well, not really. What Obama actually introduced was the NAME of the plan, and some broad principles. He provided little in the way of details on what the plan will entail. The plan will be called either the American Recovery And Reinvestment Plan, [...]

Debate #3 – The Candidates Speak To Joe The Plumber

October 16, 2008

If any of you read my last post, called A Deficit Disorder, you probably know my feelings regarding our federal government's economic policies range somewhere between cynical and disgusted. Lately, with mob boss Hugo Chavez Hank Paulson running the Treasury like Don Corleone, making the big banks an offer they can't refuse to force a [...]

Raping Taxpayers Isn't "Neighborliness"

September 10, 2008

Here's Barack Obama being interviewed by Bill O'Reilly on FoxNews. They are discussing taxation. O'REILLY: But you want 50 percent [in taxes] of my success.OBAMA: No, I don't. No, I don't. Yes, he does. Yes, he does.Obama would raise the top marginal tax rate to 39%, where it was prior to the Bush tax cuts. [...]

The War On Profit

August 13, 2008

The political Left has two basic positions regarding business in America. 1) If a company is making a profit, they characterize the company as evil, and demand that their profits be taken away, so the government can use the money instead (this is known as THEFT in the non-socialist world, but you aren't supposed to [...]

Brother, Can You Spare $500,000 ?

May 20, 2008

Major kudos to USA Today. An American newspaper has finally told the truth about the real economic crisis facing our country, which is the growth of entitlements, mainly with Medicare and that Ponzi scheme hidden income tax ripoff fake trust fund brought to you by the Democratic Party, Social Security (SS). Read the USA today [...]

Seeking The Democratic Presidential Nomination

March 7, 2008

My fellow americans, I have a dream, a dream of a shining city on a hill, where the buffalo roam, and seldom is heard a discouraging word. For now the skies ARE cloudy all day, my friends. As Dr. King said, "The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away from me". We are not [...]

The Bottom Line

February 17, 2008

When I heard that the Comptroller General and head of the Government Accounting Office (GAO), David Walker, has resigned, I had to write about it. Walker was one of my favorite guys in government, probably due to the fact that he's not a politician. He was the chief accountant for the federal government. He's beholden [...]
