Quote of the Day

“In the liberal imagination, the money is the government’s by default, and the president and Congress determine through the tax code how much to give back to the people.”

Obama knew his policies would kill jobs in the Gulf

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

23,000 jobs killed by our Dear Leader in the hard hit Gulf Coast.

It’s been very clear that improving the economy has not a priority of Barry or the democrat controlled congress.

That raises the question of just what is our Dear Leader‘s top priority?

It’s not the economy, or transparency, or an ethical government.

His personal goal is pretty clear, improving his golf game.

Comparing Barry’s view to reality.

Friday, August 13th, 2010

First, our Dear leader claims that worst of the recession that started when democrats took over congress is over.

Hmmm…let’s see, the “official” unemployment rate is still 9.5% and real unemployment is still in the 15% range.

New unemployment claims have hit a six month high, and unemployment among the young is breaking new records under the economic policies of democrat control of both Congress and the White House. Policies that have added another $165 billion to the deficit in the month of July alone.

Let’s not forget the stock market, which seems stalled around 10K.

Let’s review the facts here, when the Republicans controlled both Congress and the White House, unemployment was under 5% for most of the time and not much over the rest, and the Dow was soaring over 13K.

When Barry made that idiotic statement about not letting the Republicans have the keys to car back, he was really hoping that most American voters can’t remember anything prior to 2007.

Debunking common liberal myths about the economy

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

The Wall Street Journal has a good article that interjects reality in order to debunk some common leftist myths.

The problem is massive, uncontrolled government spending, not the myth of lost tax revenue.
The myths they analyze and debunk are:

  • The Bush tax cuts wiped out last decade’s budget surpluses.
  • The next decade’s deficits are the result of the previous administration’s profligacy
  • Declining revenues are driving future deficits

Saturday morning roundup

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Here are some highlights of the news you probably won’t hear on MSNBC…

A federal judge shot down the Obama Justice Department’s pre-emption argument in their lawsuit against the state of Arizona.

Congressman Charles Rangel (democrat – NY) has finally been charged with multiple ethics violations by the bipartisan House Ethics Committee

Anita MonCrief to File FEC Charges Against Obama Administration

Jim Hoft delivers a dose of reality about Obama and the congressional democrats effect on  the economy

Barack Obama is the worst president in history on job creation–
According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. shed 2.3 million jobs since February 2009, Obama’s first full month in office. Since Obama’s election in 2008, the US economy has shed 4.4 million jobs. That’s worse than Herbert Hoover.

The US economy lost another 125,000 jobs in June. Just ask Alvin Greene.

Barack Obama’s Keynesian policies have failed miserably. Democrats blew a Trillion dollars on a failed stimulus bill and all they managed to do was triple the national deficit in one year.

Even the far left extremists on “Journolist” hate Keith Olbermann.

Quote of day

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Today’s quote comes from democrat President John F. Kennedy in 1962:

“It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now … Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.”

True then and true now. So why does President Obama and the congressional democrats want to raise taxes during a recession?

Two opposing views

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Compare and contrast.   First Mort Zuckerman points out that our Dear Leader is is “anti-business.”

Of course, the talking heads at MSNBC, Mika Brzezinski and John Heilmann, were shocked by this. They certainly haven’t gotten that message from the instructions they get sent directly to their Crackberrys by the Obama White House.

Let us review the facts of the situation, after a year and half of our Dear Leader and the democrats controlling both both houses of Congress.

The facts of the matter are clearly obvious, as well as the sad truth that the MSNBC talking heads have to toe the Obama regime party line in order to keep their jobs.

VP Joe Biden visits a flyover state and gets a request from an American Citizen

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

Small business owner in Wisconsin tells VP Joe Biden to “Lower our taxes.”

Biden ignores the peasant and his quaint ideas.

A spokesman for the GOP responded to the VP’s visit:

“Vice President Biden probably decided not to take questions today because he didn’t want to fess up as to why Wisconsin has lost over 73,000 jobs since the stimulus was enacted.”
