‘Out-of-Control Spending’ Archives
Waiver, anyone? »
We all know how the news media create the news stories more often than they actually just report the facts. For example, you might have seen a headline that reads, “Stock Market Sheds Points at an Alarming Rate” when Bush was President, and “Stock Market Still Strong Despite Minor Setback” while Obama is President. The actual headline [...]

I’ve recently read, watched, and listened to hundreds of analysis’s as to why the Democrat Party imploded on election night. The spinning spinners on the left have attempted to misquote, mis-identify, and misinterpret the results in every way imaginable. My favorite has to be Nancy Pelosi’s upfront, heartfelt admission on National Public [...]
Tax Cut Talking Point »
The Democrats are actually having success in one area: Annoying me beyond belief. Their mindless, robotic, lockstep perpetuation of their talking point regarding tax cuts sounds so utterly ridiculous that I have almost perfected the “Snort-of-Disbelief” whenever I hear it. All I can do is shake my head in frustrated reverence to the public [...]

Gerald walked into a Health and Nutrition Store. He wandered up and down the aisles for a few minutes, perusing the selection of tablets and sprays, lotions and potions. Since it was Friday, Gerald had just cashed his paycheck for the week, and had budgeted around $50.00 to spend at the health store. Gerald had recently begun to feel some joint [...]
Stimulus Top Ten »
http://coburn.senate.gov/public//index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=e1e0624e-d02a-42d4-9dbb-f5b9f21b3572 This report by Senators Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and John McCain of Arizona highlights 100 Stimulus programs that are clearly a wasteful, ridiculous, and in many cases, a shameful waste of taxpayer money. To me, the term ‘stimulus’, when [...]
Blaine Budget Blowout »
I saw an article the other day that made me do a double-take. It said the school budget for Blaine County was going to be 92.8M (million) dollars for 2011. The number caught my eye because I also remembered reading that the Twin Falls schools budget was around 45M. I asked a simple question...how many kids are in each district? I guessed Twin [...]
Oh, Canada »
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100531/hl_nm/us_health_3 What an incredibly interesting story. Canada – Team Obama’s model of virtuosity and efficiency – has realized that “Free” Health Care is very expensive. In fact, it is so expensive, they are now “taking tough measures to curb healthcare costs...” What is the word I am looking [...]

In The Real World »
We are currently witnessing the implosion of the embedded Liberal ideology that Obama desperately tried to mask during his campaign. As always happens, the liberal way has now started to come apart at the seams. We knew Obama had exactly ZERO private sector leadership skills or experience. We knew his foreign policy skills were fine-tuned in a [...]
