I seriously have my doubts about the Obama Administration’s new plan to deal with the failed liberal stimulus experiment by employing a heavy dose of  aloof denial: President Barack Obama said his $787 billion stimulus bill “has worked as intended†as he pushed back against Republican criticism that his recovery program has failed to rescue the economy. […]

What has America gained from years of GOP pork spending and infighting, followed by Obama’s incredible ramp up of deficit spending and failed economic liberal experiments? I believe we have attained our political independence from the two parties, as this appears to be the year of the “independents”. While the Dems crash and burn on […]

It seems the Dems are really up against a wall, and it all goes back to their dumb plan to ‘stimulate’ the job market with federal spending – which will not show up the end of this year at the earliest. The problem they gave themselves, by avoiding the tried and true tax cuts and […]

With their liberal stimulus experiment a decided failure the democrats have suddenly realized a government forced closure of auto dealers, which will kick thousands of workers now making a living into the street, is probably a bad idea: A majority of House members have signed onto a bill to reverse the closing of 789 Chrysler […]

Final Update: This is good, and truthful (H/T Gateway Pundit). Another Major Update: The bad news keeps coming today: Now the unemployment rate is driving the show more than any other number. Affinity for President Barack Obama doesn’t mean much if you’ve been out of a job since he took office.  Perhaps most ominously […]

We are 3 years away from the 2012 elections, 3 years of abysmal economic conditions. And this far out, Governor Palin is clearly capable of winning the nomination and the Presidency: Palin’s complaints about unfair treatment by the news media resonate with many respondents. Three-fourths of Republicans, more than half of independents and a third […]

It was a risky scheme for Democrats. They decided to avoid the tried and true stimulus path of tax cuts (too much like the GOP, their arch enemies – damn what it means to the nation and its people). Instead, knowing full well that the federal spending programs take YEARS to kick into full gear […]

I noted below (and many times in the past few months) how the democrats have set the seeds of their own demise in 2010 and 2012. I am now very confident this is now unavoidable, as I note in the post regarding Palin’s future. It’s the economy stupid. In that post I note how the […]

I think we have a tag line for Obamacare that will rightly and accurately reflect what it means for average Americans. It means if you are not strong or fit (which is most of us), then you will probably not survive the rationed care. I made note of this when Obama himself admitted as much […]

Update: Reader Crosspatch noticed a dire prediction of 14% unemployment as the possible result of Obamanomics (with help from Reid and Pelosi): The BEA numbers (which were revised slightly on June 25) show an accelerating decline in “real nonresidential fixed investmentâ€. This measure decreased 37.3 percent in the first quarter of 2009, compared with a […]
