Sequester lies
Yesterday, the president surrounded himself with first responders while he lectured the American people on the impending spending cuts in the government known as “sequester”. from the Washington Examiner; “Emergency responders like the ones who are here today — their ability to help communities respond to and recover from disasters will be degraded,” he said.

Pelosi; no spending problem
I agree with Nancy, the folks in DC seem to have no problem spending our money. I don’t know what gave anyone the impression that they did. Well, other than the fact that they’re running out of our money and they need raise taxes in order to ease their craving; “We have to recognize that, […]

To keep Social Security’s finances sound in the future I have introduced legislation […]
When will they stop being the “Bush tax cuts”?
The president has recently called for extending the “Bush Tax Cuts” for lower income Americans – you know, when President Bush cut the Clinton tax hikes back and probably saved the post-9-11 economy. The last of the cuts was more than nine years ago. So, I’m wondering when the president and the media are going […]
Their fair share
Yeah, you rich Americans are expected to pay your fair share, well, unless you rich Americans work for the Obama White House (Investors’ Business Daily link fixed); A new report just out from the Internal Revenue Service reveals that 36 of President Obama’s executive office staff owe the country $833,970 in back taxes. These people […]
