Think Congress is on your side, looking out for your interests and that of your families? Sorry, but the reality is they are as greedy as any business CEO: People who wonder how elected officials come to Congress on modest means and retire wealthy should study Rep. Grace Napolitano of California. Few have found campaigning as […]

Spendulus has passed. America as seen the largest theft of money by ideologues in its history. No war ever caused this to happen. And the so called ‘stimulus bill’ has very little real stimulus in it. What there is is not enough to turn the economy around, and the spending doesn’t really kick in until […]

Forget about millions or billions or trillions, most people cannot get their minds around these numbers. But percentages can be related to. So as the economy grows we can support more debt as a PERCENTAGE of our Gross Domestic Product. Basically, we can loan ourselves a few percent each year to deal with some challenges. […]

The 1 percent increase […]

Oh for Pete’s sake, is this all we get from all the Chicken Little cries emanating from DC? It includes Obama’s signature “Making Work Pay” tax credit for 95 percent of workers, though negotiators agreed to trim the credit to $400 a year instead of $500 — or $800 for married couples, cut from Obama’s […]

Not sure why it happened, but apparently a Russian and US Satellite collided over Antarctica on February 10th. Word is (no formal announcements) that the US satellite was an Iridium communications satellite in Low Earth Orbit, the Russian satellite was one of the vaguely named Cosmos satellites, which could have been one of Russia’s reconnaissance birds. What […]

Final Update: Jennifer Rubin has probably summarized the result of the stimulus bill the best today: The president seems likely to win the battle but lose the argument — and the war. The battle is the stimulus bill which passed the Senate on Tuesday and will clear the conference committee this week. But the argument […]
