Jobs Created/Saved
All too often now, we await breathlessly the next month’s job creation/job loss number on the new or in the paper.  Heck, our President claims to save or create jobs (with our tax dollars mind you) but, when it comes down to those numbers are meaningless.  They used to mean something, when the government [...]

The words people use tell us a lot about the true message of a document or group, this has never been more true than in the healthcare bill that the Democrats and President Obama are trying to force on the American people. The American Taxpayers Union has the details:
“For example, in Reid’s bill, the words [...]

You heard that right, 13 new taxes!
The one that bothers me the most? The new HSA taxes and limits.  Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a responsible way for Americans to take control of their healthcare spending and save for the future. What do the Democrats do with it? Limit it!  They know [...]

Today Apple computer left the US Chamber of Commerce, and most of it’s consumers, in search of a pat on the back from Greenpeace and other far left environmentalists.  In a move that was a slap in the face to all it’s loyal customers (including this blogger), Apple has come out hard against average consumers [...]

As predicted in my first post on the $8000 free downpayment giveaway passed by Obama and the Democrats in congress, the bad math behind the liberals’ attempts to revive a big government fueled recession with more big government are already becoming evident.
It seems that when you give people money so they can overcome “oppressive” down payment requirements, [...]

I’ll admit freely that Daniel Patrick Moynihan is probably, along with Zell Miller and Scoop Jackson, the Democrat that Republicans love to quote most. But I’ll freely fall into that practice with an excerpt from George H. Nash, who in turn quotes Moynihan. Though the quote is about the “war on poverty,” its implications for [...]

Now that the Obama $8000 first time home buyer giveaway is coming to an end, let’s consider the consequences.
How does 350,000 first time home buyers with 3.5% of your tax dollars  and in some cases none of their own money down  sound to you?  I’ll tell you what, it scares the crap out of me. (Reuters)

After taking closer look at the listening session Rep Gwen Moore (D) threw together last Friday after Gop3.com called out her complete lack of listening sessions compared to the 17 Rep. Paul Ryan (R) has planned, we find it sorely lacking:
1. Rep. Moore will only listen to pre-screened “questions” submitted online.
“Congresswoman Moore will also answer [...]
