What Ever Happened to Our Citizen Statesmen? Davy Crockett vs. Welfare

The following story illustrates why I can never support a cause that deals with the government taking money from its people and allocating it in a way that is not specifically outlined in the Constitution as an appropriate government expenditure. If the intentions for the expenditure are noble, yet are not specifically deemed appropriate by the Constitution, than the members of government as well as the citizens themselves can always allocate their own funds for this noble cause...that is always an option. I hope this story rings with your heart as much as it did with mine! More>>>

Washington Post: Taking Apart the $819 billion Stimulus Package
Against Universal Healthcare? Better speak up. Time's running out. The hidden section on cost-effectiveness is a step toward socialized medicine – a goal that Tom Daschle outlined in his book, Critical. Daschle was to become Secretary of Health and Human Services until he withdrew his name over his failure to pay taxes. In Critical, Daschle gave some advice to the next President on how to impose socialized medicine on our nation without public debate or Senate oversight. On page 196-197 of Critical he says this: If the next President is dedicated to reform, he or she can use the formidable power of the White House to create a sense of urgency on this issue and forge a consensus on how to move forward. This means going on the offensive; we cannot wait for the next “Harry and Louise” ad to define the debate. We cannot assume that the public recognizes the distortions and fallacies peddled by reform opponents; we have to educate people on the emptiness of the anti-reform rhetoric. More>>>
Goodbye, America! It Was Fun While it Lasted...

It's bad enough when illiterate jurors issue damages awards in the billions of dollars because they don't grasp the difference between a million and a billion. Now it turns out the Democrats don't know the difference between a million and a trillion. Why not make the "stimulus bill" a kazillion dollars? All Americans who work for a living, or who plan to work for a living sometime in the next century, are about to be stuck with a trillion-dollar bill to fund yet more oppressive government bureaucracies. Or as I call it, a trillion dollars and change. The stimulus bill isn't as bad as we had expected -- it's much worse. Instead of merely creating useless, make-work jobs digging ditches -- or "shovel-ready," in the Democrats' felicitous phrase -- the "stimulus" bill will create an endless army of government bureaucrats aggressively intervening in our lives. Instead of digging ditches, American taxpayers will be digging our own graves. More>>>

Who is Pulling Geithner’s Strings?

Why is he so valuable? It’s not because he learns from his mistakes. As we have argued in previous columns, Geithner is valuable because he is a major player in the global financial community, a prominent figure in the “Group of Thirty” organization of central bankers and the Council on Foreign Relations. He is a former employee of Kissinger Associates and lived in China and speaks Chinese. His father, Peter Geithner, is a former top official of the Ford Foundation who knew Obama’s mother when she was working on “microfinance” in Indonesia. It would be a serious mistake to say that Geithner is incompetent. He knows exactly what he’s doing. Essentially, his programmed performance was designed to send the message to the American people and the Congress that we can’t be trusted with the details, even when they are available. It was pathetic to watch our elected senators at a subsequent hearing pleading for details. But it was also a “teaching moment.” This is out of our hands. This is the “New World Order” and we had better get used to it. More>>>
Sorry, Mr. President, what you're sellin'...it just ain't true

President Obama says that "economists from across the political spectrum agree" on the need for massive government spending to stimulate the economy. In fact, many economists disagree. Hundreds of them, including Nobel laureates and other prominent scholars, have signed a statement that the Cato Institute has placed in major newspapers across the United States. More>>>

Banks Rescue Will 'Make Things Worse': Rogers
by

The new financial rescue plan may not work and could even make things worse because it plunges the US further into debt and it is designed by the same people who failed to forecast the crisis and take measures, legendary investor Jim Rogers told CNBC Tuesday. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will unveil a long-awaited package of measures to help the financial sector at 11 am New York time. But Rogers said Geithner, who was president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, "has been dead wrong about everything for 15 years in a row," and so was President Barack Obama's economic advisor Lawrence Summers, who acted as Treasury Secretary at the turn of the century. "It is mind-boggling to me," Rogers told "Squawk Box Europe." "If I were on your show 15 weeks in a row and was wrong, you'd probably never invite me back. These guys have been wrong year after year after year consistently and here they are making the same mistakes again. This is not going to solve the problem, it's going to make it worse." More>>> |
