Here Jim Geraghty writing at National Review breaks out the shocking details of what has turned into a national disgrace of historic proportions.

Merry Christmas from American Icon Pat Buchanan
Is there is any American who is a more reasoned, better-informed champion of a Federal Republic form of government than is Mr. Buchanan? Here is an opportunity to catch up on all of Pat’s best work through the years.
“That Place Just Doesn’t Seem to Work”
From Peggy Noonan’s WSJ blogs, “Incompetence”: Everyone is doing thoughtful year-end pieces on President Obama. Writers and reporters agree he’s had his worst year ever. I infer from most of their essays an unstated but broadly held sense of foreboding: There’s no particular reason to believe next year will be better, and in fact signs […]

Big Spending Dem…err…Republicans
Republicans in the House are supposed to control the big spenders in the Senate and the White House. But by agreeing to the Ryan-Murray budget, they’ve destroyed the savings won through the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA). If House Republicans did nothing, the BCA capped discretionary spending at $967 billion in 2014. The Ryan-Murray deal […]

Insurance Industry Mouths Stuffed with Gold?
The O’Care debacle has the fat cats in the insurance industry with their collective backs to the wall. In reality, all that lies ahead for this greedy and miscalculating crowd is the firing squad. Here at National Review Jonah Goldberg lays out the plight of America’s insurers. It is hard for me to conclude that […]
The Fed Tax on Savers: Low Interest Rates
Rasmussen poll indicates that only 12 percent of probable voters favor a budget that increases spending. Here Cato Institute’s Richard Rahn explains why a return to the days of Thatcher and Reagan is so necessary and why the Fed is a big enabler in today’s tragic spending spiral. As every rational person should understand, the […]
Budget Deal is Smoke and Mirrors
To learn the truth about the cave-in, Ryan-Murray budget deal I go to Cato’s Chris Edwards. As he points out, the analysis by Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee (SBC) raises spending by $63 billion in ’14 and ’15. But the so called $85 billion in “savings” is a mix of $34 billion in revenue […]
