That's the message you should see whenever they say "We're going to punt this problem until after the next election." It means they are going to do something the voters really hate, and so they hope to be able to make you forget what they did by the time another two years passes. It means [...]
With the steady onslaught of insanity being perpetrated on the taxpayers, we thought that you'd like to learn about some of the most egregious examples. As a result, we will be starting a new recurring column titled "The Daily Outrage". Perhaps this will simply be cathartic for us, sharing the lunacy with supporters. Or maybe [...]
Want to stop deficit spending? Shut off the Fed's printing presses because at this point, the Fed is buying most federal debt with dollars it printed up in the basement. The simple act of requiring money to be real would mean the presses would stop, since nothing with "real" value comes off a printing press. [...]
The sight of President Obama and General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt laughing at the lack of “shovel ready” jobs wasn’t the only outrage produced by the recent meeting of the President's Jobs and Competitiveness Council. The council's recommendations are also producing outrage. In a Boston Globe op-ed, “Whirling Economics,” former Republican Senator John Sununu (New Hampshire) [...]
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is set to sue the FCC to block implementation of Net Neutrality regulations.

Leftist policies are often (and correctly) described as "tax and spend." After the stimulus bill passed, though, some flipped the phrase to "spend, then tax," anticipating that the Left would ultimately demand higher taxes to reduce the gargantuan deficit they created (and we opposed). We now have proof that the change in terminology was correct as well: [...]

In the late 1950s there was a TV show called “Father Knows Best” starring Robert Young who played “a thoughtful father who offered sage advice whenever one or more of his children had a problem.” Today there is another long-running show called “Government Knows Best” where our President and members of Congress play the part [...]
Tactics matter. Ineffective tactics must be quickly abandoned for more sophisticated ones as the means to implement them become available. First Generation Warfare (1GW) is characterized by massed troops standing in line formation firing muskets at each other. 2GW emphasized firepower, especially artillery, immobilizing the enemy, simply stated using the French maxim: "Artillery conquers, infantry [...]
According to the Washington Examiner, a weird and twisted turn of events might kill the VA lawsuits against ObamaCare. "...the Fourth Circuit ... ordered the parties to file supplemental briefs by May 31 explaining the consequences if the court holds that the Anti-Injunction Act applies [which] applies to federal taxes. "This means that the appellate [...]
“We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain, unalienable rights.” When those words were written, there were certain things that everyone knew were rights because they were obvious.
