Almost two years ago, President Barack Obama announced that he would cut the budget deficit in half by the end of his first term. He insinuated that he meant the budget deficit that he was left with, a $1.3 trillion monster that he “inherited” from the Bush administration. That would mean cutting the deficit to […]
Progress the Obama Way
Non-Farm employment today stands at 130,265,000. In July of 2009, it stood at 130,193,000. If you look real hard, you may see some microscopic job growth.

The Truth Booed Lustily
This morning’s post speaks for itself. It’s an excerpt from Peggy Noonan’s article at the Wall Street Journal, most of it is quotes from Governor Chris Christie’s speech before 7,500 firefighters telling them why their benefits were cut. The truth hurts, but its better than being lied to. As Mr. Chrisie recounted it: “You can […]

The End of Moderation
