Around the world in many industrialized countries, when a plaintiff sues a defendant, whoever loses the suit pays the legal costs of the other. This is an obvious reform that could be made to limit spurious lawsuits and Governor Rick Perry wants to implement it in the state of Texas. With plenty of GOP support, […]
Individual Mandate Unconstitutional
For years I have stressed to you the importance of having originalist Supreme Court justices, who will read the law as written, not as they would have it written. Yesterday, via my Facebook page, I told you that a Virginia judge has declared the Obamacare-individual-mandate unconstitutional. This will surely setup a Supreme Court battle between […]
Critical Decisions
Tim Pawlenty wrote in the Wall Street Journal this morning that public employee unions contributed over $91 million in campaign contributions during the mid-term election. Seems like a conflict of interest right? Unions donate to politicians, who become their bosses, and send more money to the unions. In the next election, those unions have more […]
House Dems Revolt
Barack Obama led the debate over tax policy by saying that the Republicans were taking government hostage, but it would appear that he fingered the wrong crowd. For the first time in his presidency, Obama has actually made a large-scale bipartisan compromise. The “post partisan” president as he presented himself during his campaign, has finally […]
The Obama Two-Step
It would seem that the tax compromise laid out by the GOP and Barack Obama is not yet a done deal. Karl Rove lays out the tricky math of getting the idea passed through the House and writes: “Mr. Obama’s advisers are reportedly warning Democrats that allowing taxes to rise may cause a double-dip recession. […]
The Left Screams for Blood
The liberal left is completely outraged that the president would break one of his campaign promises (to them) and compromise with the GOP on extending the current tax rates without raising taxes on high-income earners. For a picture of this outrage, see today’s featured video of Keith Olbermann doing his best impression of anger. Those […]
Bush Tax Cuts to be Extended
Businesses and individuals can finally start to settle in and make plans for the next two years. It looks as though the Bush-tax cuts will rightfully be extended until 2012, though certain distasteful elements have crept back into the tax code, i.e. the death tax will return next year at 35% on estates valued at […]
Bernanke: I Can Stop Inflation
In an interview with 60 Minutes this weekend, Ben Bernanke said that he feels that the fear of inflation is overstated. “One myth that’s out there is that what we’re doing is printing money. We’re not printing money…What we’re doing is lowering interest rates by buying Treasury securities.” The Fed is buying treasury securities by […]
Podesta Calls out the Goon Squad
John Podesta, head of the Center for American Progress and Obama advisor wants the president to use executive orders to implement his agenda. He has already begun by ordering the lawyers at the Department of Labor to start “shaming” America’s employers. Does that sound like a president who wants to create jobs to you, one […]
On to Smaller Things
Now that the president has totally altered America’s healthcare system, he is on to other liberal wishlist items that have been on the backburner. First among them is gun control. The president has promised time and again that he isn’t coming after anyone’s guns, but he is attempting to install rabidly anti-gun officials in powerful […]
