There are few members of the Senate in greater need of replacement than Senators McCain and Graham. The Senators refer to President Obama’s “grand bargain” as “”a good start.” As the House GOP press release more correctly stated, the Obama scheme was indeed not a bargain, let alone grand. National Review Online’s Jonathan Strong notes […]
Americans Have always Mistrusted Government
Cato Institute’s David Boaz draws wording from Thomas Jefferson in the Kentucky Resolution to clearly drive home this historically accurate point. Mr. Boaz writes. Why shouldn’t we trust the government, as President Obama and Chairman Rogers urge us? Because we know who and what government is. Government is force. We need some minimal government to constrain […]
Progress on the Skinny Front!
You know that I am on commander Gary Taubes’ “Get Skinny” regime. Well, I am pleased to report to you an 18-pound reduction in unbecoming suet. As I have explained, in my case an addiction to carbohydrates in the form of pasta, pizza and organic yogurt shakes were the culprits. And did I mention the […]
Are You Aware of the Letter Signed by a Dozen Republican Senators and Sent to President Obama?
The letter pledges that this group will not vote for any continuing resolution (CR) that includes funding for Obamacare. The Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner writes that Obamacare will “cost taxpayers trillions of dollars, drive up the national debt, slow economic growth, and kill jobs.” Did you know that a big percent of all those new […]
A Breakthrough with Iran!
I think it can happen if the neocons will stand down and give things a chance to work out. The way I read Iran’s election, the new guy, Hasan Rouhani, was elected on a platform based on reviving Iran’s economy, getting sanctions lifted, and re-engaging with the West. A friend of mine travels to Iran […]
Cato Institute’s Chris Preble Puts the Stake in the Hearts of the Military Big Spenders
The facts are clear and the administration and Congress are advised to listen to reality. Hundreds of billions of dollars can be lopped off the Pentagon’s budget while actually improving the safety of America. After viewing this terrific video with Fox’s John Stossel and Chris, I advise that you download a copy of Mr. Preble’s […]
Military Budget: 4.6% of GDP Equals 68% of 1940 GDP in Real Terms
“In terms of real resources, the 4.6% of GDP devoted to the military last year was equivalent to 68% of the 1940 GDP. “ An astounding revelation from the Cato Institute’s Doug Bandow. In an article appearing overseas in Japan Times, Doug unfurls a torrent of shocking details underpinning a military complex run amok. Mr. […]
“Raise the Debt Ceiling,” Calls Out Treasury Secretary Jack Lew!
President Obama chimes in saying we are deadbeats if we do not pay bills already racked up. How do these two have jobs? Why do Americans pay a lick of attention to either man’s view on the debt ceiling? Let me lay out the non-partisan facts for you. I am neither a Republican nor a […]
“The Debt Crisis Is Solved if You Ignore Most of the Debt”
Great quote from National Review’s Kevin D. Williamson. Mr. Williamson was writing about what he refers to as a new genre of journalism, which suggests that “there is no debt problem.” Kevin writes, “Americans currently believe that they have some claim to entitlement benefits that are underwater to the tune of more than $60 trillion in […]
Obama and Holder Think They Can Try to Tell Rick Perry and Texas How to Conduct Elections!
The Constitution offers zero support for the administration’s efforts to bully Texas. In fact, the Constitution says in Article.11. Section. I. about states and elections, “Each state shall appoint, in such Manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the States […]
