In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal this morning, the much vilified but absolutely correct Charles G. Koch laid down the gauntlet on entitlement reform. He wrote: The unfunded liabilities of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid already exceed $106 trillion. That’s well over $300,000 for every man, woman and child in America (and exceeds […]
The Big Three
In an article this morning, Michael Barone asks, “Why Support the Tea Party?” He goes on to tell readers that faced with a government giving away trillions of dollars to special interests, Americans are unconcerned with the meager welfare payments they are “given” by the government that first took their money away. How can liberals […]
Unions on Notice
In Providence, Rhode Island, nearly all of the 2,000 teachers have been given warning that their jobs may not be there for them when the new school year starts in September. Why? Union rules force the state to warn teachers before March if they plan on firing them by September. The only way for Providence […]
President Abandons Unions?
The president has pulled back his overt support for unions in Wisconsin. This is an attempt to mollify the majority of Americans, who view unions as the greatest impediment to balanced budgets at the local, state and national levels. Don’t believe for a minute that the president isn’t still supporting the unions with every asset […]
The Most Important Struggle in Modern America
“We are witnessing one of the most important struggles in modern America.” Newt Gingrich wrote that this morning, and he is absolutely right. In Wisconsin Americans are viewing a battle that can end in one of two ways: the people of Wisconsin take their state back from the public sector unions, or they fail to […]
Only Two Ways Out
Pat Buchanan hit the nail on the head this morning when he called public sector unions “the taxpayer-subsidized armies of the Democratic Party.” That’s why the Democrats are hell bent on not allowing Governor Scott Walker to shut down the ability of Wisconsin’s unions to collectively bargain. If unionism in the public sector fails like […]
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 […]
Gimmicks vs Reality
As a lens to view liberal incompetence, take Senator Chuck Schumer as an example. Here is a man who has voted at each turn to cripple Wall Street’s competitive position in the world with Sarbanes-Oxley, and Dodd-Frank. In light of the Deutsche Börse takeover of the NYSE he is now fighting to keep NYSE at […]
Budget Reward Special Interests – Ignores Taxpayers
After initially looking as though they were going to punt on entitlement reform, the House GOP has grudgingly (thanks to Tea Party pressure) decided to tackle the issue this year. Outspoken members of the Tea Party have forced the issue into the discussion over this year’s budget, and plans for future budgets. Congressman Allen West, […]
Deficit Largest Since WWII
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 […]
