The AIG bonus problem is not the only way our hard earned tax dollars went to line the pockets of ridiculously wealthy and overpaid people on Wall Street (honestly, doctors should make more simply because a life is more precious than a dividend). The real problem is that Congress and the Dems put in place risky policies, […]

The latest CBO scoring of the Obama/DC Liberals budget forecasts is the most disturbing thing I have seen in a long time. Check out what we have to look forward to after the next 10 years of hard work:   The cumulative deficit from 2010 to 2019 under the President’s proposals would total $9.3 trillion, […]

I had no interest in watching our President Oh-Bomba! on Leno tonight (as I knew he would). So I apparently missed most of the disaster. The man is no good outside his one trick caricature of the brooding serious moderate reading from a script, it was inevitable he would bomb out. While average Americans have lost more […]

At one point Treasury Secretary Giethner claimed he had not heard about the AIG bonuses until March 10th, but he now admits he pushed the Dems in Congress to pull the bonus restrictions (which of course would allow the AIG bonuses to go through). Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told CNN Thursday his department asked Sen. […]

Seems fate is giving us a lot of warning signs about what practices from Europe and Canada we should not be following. The liberal DC siren song about a Green America fighting CO2 levels would take a bad economy and basically cripple it for good, if Canada is any model: If you want to know […]

The liberals in DC want to mimic the socialistic, gubbernment run health care of Europe here in America. The European approach is everyone gets the same crappy health care, no one gets premier. Here in America everyone gets premier, the well to do have to cover the less well off by paying premiums (and must […]

Here we go again – the power brokers raiding the treasury to line their pockets: Fannie Mae is due to pay retention bonuses of between $470,000 and $611,000 this year to some executives, despite enormous losses at the government-backed mortgage company. Fannie’s main rival, Freddie Mac, also plans to pay such bonuses but hasn’t yet provided details. […]

People are getting rightfully fed up across this nation with the ineptitude of our so-called “national leaders”. They are sure leading the pack in incompetence category! The latest “its not me” round of denial about how 73 people walked away with million dollar plus bonuses culled from taxpayers pockets is a nauseating spectacle. The claims of “we […]

So let me get this straight. AIG supports Senator Obama so he can run for President by paying over $100 grand. Then President Obama gets into office and he and Senator Dodd (who also got paid over $100 grand by AIG) fork over billions of dollars of OUR money to AIG, who then pays out […]

Update: Had to borrow this picture from Hot Air that really drives home the absurdity of this whole mess. Ed Morrissey does his usual excellent job of distilling this down to its essence: If the country needs more revenue streams, it should find some other way to find them than the backs of our wounded […]
