The chief of the Atlanta Federal Reserve said on Wednesday that the unemployment rate is actually 16%, “If one considers the people who would like a job but have stopped looking…”. Discouraged workers are one of the dirty little secrets of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It’s a secret the Obama administration is happy [...]
Max Baucus (D-MT), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and member of the bi-partisan “group-of-six”, explained to the press the Chairman’s mark of his health care bill. This version has not been accepted by the Finance Committee nor the gang-of-six members and there are positive and negative sentiments being expressed from both sides of the isle.
Capitalism is the new “ism”. It is the thing we are all being told to hate, abhor, avoid, and destroy. It’s the “c-word”. The centrist, elitist mobs are trying to show that capitalism has failed by singling-out CEOs? What about the hundreds of thousands of small-to-medium sized business owners that are true entrepreneurs. The liberals [...]
I hope this gets to the parents of every one of these kids and they immediately unseat the entire school board. There are many positive messages in the video, and every single one is tied to an Obama campaign phrase (Hope, Change, Yes we can).
Joe Conason, author and columnist for the New York Observer, plants the “R” word on Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh in a recently published article entitled, “The Racist Truth About Beck and Limbaugh”. His assertions are obviously incorrect. Considering the recent realization by the New York Times that their content may be “left-of-center” it’s understandable [...]
As recently as last week, congressional liberals have been saying that republicans don’t have any ideas and therefor have not put any health care legislation on the table. Well, before the August recess, a bill was introduced in the house and is certainly a GOP-sponsored health care reform bill. While far-from-perfect, it is perhaps the [...]
Perhaps a little alarmist, it’s probably a hoax video, but some underlying themes rate contemplation [Story Link]. The SDR as a replacement for the dollar, the huge increase in SDR reserves (1000%) [IMF Link]. I think that link is saying that the SDR will go from 21.4 to 204.1 billion between August 28th and September [...]
Did you ever want to send an urgent message to every member of Congress, ensuring delivery to their offices on Capitol Hill and letting them know they are being watched? Is that time now? If so, a bold new program might be just what you are looking for. [Read More]
I realize that I would have to wait in a fairly long line to call Ron Paul a paranoid, old-thinking, isolationist psycho, and I’d gladly take the wait just to have the opportunity. But, Paul has been pushing for a congressional audit of the Federal Reserve for more than two decades and he might just [...]
There has been much capitalism-bashing going on in the media. Clearly the anti-caps have no idea what they are against and even less of an idea of what they are for. I don’t have a lot to add to this well-thought, well-written paper by Dr. Ronald Nash. I just know I’ll be looking for even [...]
In August, we watched as sales of existing homes drop by 2.7%. Experts were expecting an increase. Due to the fact that 30% of all home sales this year were by first-time home buyers, the National Association of Realtors has begun a campaign designed to influence congress to put more taxpayer subsidies into the housing market.
Anarchists, environmental groups, and other left-wing radical groups led the way for anti-capitalism protests in Pittsburgh on Thursday. Reasons for the march were varied. Several groups were there to enforce messages of lowering CO2 emissions. Others were protesting the situation in Burma, the fact that 20 people control the global economy, social justice, pushes for [...]
For months we have been fed several mis-truths, myths, and outright lies about health care. It is certainly worthwhile to evaluate all the individual frauds, but we may be missing the forest for the trees.
The delta smelt has taken on a vicious campaign against California food growers. The smelt have collectively contacted their representatives and senators to let them know that if more water is not diverted into their rivers, the congresspeople will be voted out. The “Smelts for Obama” Political Action Committee has promised all of its resources [...]
There have been myriad posts recently about how our current leadership is apologizing for us, alienating our allies and endearing our enemies. What these articles have not made clear is how many friends we are ditching and how vehemently we are befriending the violent totalitarians of our day. Just today, press secretary Robert Gibbs spent [...]
Hot Air is reporting that it has obtained a report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (C.B.O.) that shows that Social Security is in more trouble than Obama’s Director of the Office of Management and Budget (O.M.B.), Peter Orszag, previously reported. The C.B.O. and the C.B.O. website and “Director’s Blog” contain no mention or repudiation [...]
Scott Ott published an article in the Washington Examiner that could very well fix everything using the Obama administration’s favorite tool – the public option. “White House sources said today that President Obama may soon propose legislation that would save Americans billions of dollars each year while improving service by creating a ‘public option’ version [...]
Members of Congress, the President, and anyone else with an opinion is still blaming the recession on greedy corporations. This article isn’t about rehashing the debate, but… what about the greedy government elitists? What about us? The government needs us to borrow more to feed the partial-reserve economy system we have. To get us to [...]
In an article in the Calgary Herald, Lorne Gunter reveals that leading climatologists are saying that the Earth has been cooling for a decade and will continue to for a few more. This isn’t making news in the main-stream media and it likely won’t. If we aren’t all scared-to-death about it, key portions of the [...]
Conservative commentator and author Andrew Breitbart hinted that a blockbuster news story would be coming this week. Blogs are alive with speculation as to what Andrew has up his sleeve considering his early digging into the problems at ACORN that finally resulted in the current investigations. Blogs posts and forums are filled with guesses from [...]
