Big Labor’s death rattle

IN14828

The coming November Punishment is as much a repudiation of unions as it is Obama’s big-government agenda.  And for this reason, expect eight weeks of nonstop thuggery as unions work to fill the vacuum left by ACORN.  In the end result, however, both unions and Obama will fall short.  That sound you will hear is [...]

Christina Romer on the economy: “You know, we gave it our best shot”

christina_romer

I don’t how much worse our economy can get, and then I listen to Christian Romer and the incompetent people working in the Obama administration and I can see a financial collapse from my house. Romer had the audacity to claim the brilliant economic team did the best they could to get us out of [...]

Another Obama mugging of AZ? EPA rejects Maricopa County pollution plan

The rejection puts billions of dollars in transportation aid at risk.  How very odd that the federal government is beating up a state from so many directions.  Last time this happened was the Civil War.  Perhaps the 10th Amendment is about to be reinvigorated.  Republican governors tend to support their own – watch out, Herr [...]

US House Whip-Up Report, Fri 9/3/10: Almost half unemployed for 6 months

House II

President Obama and his team are scrambling to come up with last-ditch solutions to the struggling economy, according to an article in Politico.   It’s not like all of a sudden the economy has found itself in an emergency situation; it’s been in that state since the President took office nearly two years ago. If the Administration and [...]

Poll: Dems bad for taxes, spending; Pubs good

This should clear up the reasons for the Generic Congressional gap so favoring pubs:  A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 62% of Likely Voters believe Congressional Democrats want to increase government spending. Only 16% believe the party wants to cut spending. On the tax front, 59% believe that most Democrats in Congress [...]

Playing ‘gotcha’ with patents: New trial lawyer game

Sure, this is an important aspect of the law, but it sure has the feel of finding of gamesmanship:  Find an expired patent number on a consumer product, sue the company, and split the fine with the feds – fines calculated on a per piece basis.  How many tubes of toothpaste were manufactured?

Moderate dems to extend ALL Bush tax cuts? Don’t believe it

This is the worst kind of LibTard campaigning.  They’ll say all the right words for their voters, until the morning after – when they’ll grab their clothes and shoes to tiptoe out of the room.  Be assured that no floor vote will be possible until after the election, and then all bets are off.   [...]

When Romer said ‘finish the job,’ did she mean ‘shoot it again’?

Such pretty words:  Departing White House chief economist Christina Romer urged Congress on Wednesday to “finish the job of economic recovery” by pumping more cash into the economy through additional tax cuts for businesses and middle-class families, as well as fresh investments in the nation’s infrastructure. No, no, no:  She was talking in socialist code: [...]

Hatch on the offensive: Repeal HC employer mandate

I love it when Orin gets angry.  His voice raises a full octave.  Now he’s pushing to revise ObamaCare.  Tells us that CBO says the employer mandate alone is worth $50 billion in new taxes to businesses.  Let the games begin!  I hope the signing pen for this particular piece of legislation finds its way [...]

Fear and loathing from Obama’s departing economic adviser

Check out this quote:  “The only surefire ways for policymakers to substantially increase aggregate demand in the short run are for the government to spend more and tax less,” Romer said. “The key is that we need to take action and we need to do it quickly.” Ouch.  ”Quickly,” she says.  ”Quickly.”  I guess almost [...]
