‘Out-of-Control Spending’ Archives
Chicago Insurance Co. »
The Obamacare health insurance mandate reminds me of a bunch of Chicago gangsters selling protection. I can just envision Obama (Al Capone), Rahm (Frank Nitti), Pelosi (Teets Battaglia), and Reid (Jack Zuta) sitting around a smoke-filled speakeasy planning to provide “protection” to the neighborhood merchants. “We’re gonna provide you [...]
Poland’s 2009 GDP »
I found a headline that made me do a “double-take”: Poland’s GDP Tops European Union in 2009. What? Poland? I had to read further... http://www.eubusiness.com/news-eu/poland-economy.2g9 There are 27 countries in the European Union. The ONLY one to increase its GDP was Poland. (Gross Domestic Product - a basic measure of a country's [...]
Barry the Blamer »
I have never heard a United States President pass-the-buck as often as Barry Soetoro does. I think it is a standard line in all his speeches where he repeats somewhere in the middle “...I had a huge problem when I walked in the door...” Yes, it is true Bush left Barry a big bleepin’ bleep of a mess. But Mr. Soetoro also conveniently NEVER [...]
I’m in shock »
I just saw a video in which a CNN contributor just ripped Nancy Pelosi a "new one." I am not used to seeing CNN offer commentary such as this. Maybe they are tired of getting trounced by Fox News. In any event, here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc9fsPTyqe8&feature=player_embedded# And yes, Nancy Pelosi is an elitist, [...]
Stimuless »
New unemployment numbers out today show the economy is still shedding jobs...another 85k lost in December. Every month another story comes out that shocks, surprises, and stuns “experts” who keep predicting job gains are right around the corner.

The 7 Liberal Sins »
The downfall of an individual usually coincides with one or a combination of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. It is my contention that these same sins, when perpetrated by its leaders, can bring down a nation. The current administration along with the Democrat controlled Congress and Senate, and a crash [...]
Taking »
As we close out 2009, I look back at the year that cost Americans more money and freedom than any I can remember. The current government has spent more money than any government in the history of the world. Sure, there are those that will argue that it was necessary to avert ‘catastrophe’...to which I call B.S. - we have catastrophe anyway. [...]
Cousin Duh »
It looks like Hairy Reed has finally purchased (with YOUR money, not his) enough Senators to support his Health Care Reform package. Since nobody actually knows what is in this bill – even and especially those who support it – I can only wait and see what it looks like; AFTER it is voted into law. So much for Obama’s campaign promise about [...]
ECON 101 »
Pay attention Libs: Corporations DO NOT pay taxes...their customers pay. Big Pharmaceutical, Big Oil, Big Electricity, Big Coal, Big Hamburger, Big Auto, Big Insurance, Big Farmer, Big Grocery...NONE of them pay taxes. Not a single dime. ZERO. No. I have not lost my mind...just my patience. When Liberals talk about punishing these [...]
Health Insurance Premium Calculator »
I found an interesting tool at: http://healthreform.kff.org/SubsidyCalculator.aspx This web-site allows you to calculate the possible effects of the House vs. the Senate Health Care Reform Bills on your pocketbook. I don't know how accurate it is, but like most government programs, there is absolutely no benefit for me or my family...it is [...]
