I’m not going to say that the Obama administration lies to an accepting media with the practiced smoothness of a Three Card Monte dealer in Times Square. That would be mean and, goodness knows, this White House does get all het up when we say mean things about it. However, I’m at a loss to [...]
I made a stunning discovery while recording this week’s episode of The Delivery: Mitt Romney has no intention on cutting the size of government. Now, I know that sounds like a baseless attack on Romney by a guy who is on record as saying he’d vote for a half-eaten and moldering ham sandwich rather than [...]
I don’t know how I managed to get through the first half of Episode 102 and not use the phrase “A pox on both their houses”. I think the entire budget/debt ceiling debate has gone so far past silly that it’s looped around back into silly again. The Democrats have no interest in putting a [...]
Last Sunday, the President’s budget director Jacob Lew took to the pages of the New York Times to spread the good news that Barack Obama is a born-again budget cutter because he has announced some $775 million in cuts to his 2011 budget. To make sure we knew just how serious the President is about [...]
Oh, I’m sorry, Mr. President. Is our desire to not blow up our budget like a cement truck in a Mythbusters episode boring you? President Obama lost patience Saturday with Senate Republicans who have insisted that a $100 billion spending package be paid for so that it does not add to the deficit, accusing the [...]
Oh how I wish the Stimulating Finger of government would imitate the Moving Finger of Omar Khayyám’s Rubáiyát and move on. Alas, we are not nearly that fortunate. President Obama urged reluctant lawmakers Saturday to quickly approve nearly $50 billion in emergency aid to state and local governments, saying the money is needed to avoid [...]
Rut roh… NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The U.S. dollar fell sharply against major currencies Tuesday after the Federal Reserve announced its decision to cut interest rates. The central bank said it will establish a target range for its key rate of between 0% and 0.25%. The Fed also said it will establish a discount rate [...]
John McCain has said repeatedly that he is against bloated budgets and tons of Congressional pork, but his record is enpty when it comes to laying anything of importance on the line to get either one. Well, now is his chance to do more than talk about it. House Republican leaders will meet with a [...]
I could not have said it better myself. Pathetic. Craven. Irresponsible. Unprincipled. Those and similar adjectives apply to every member of Congress who voted for the bloated, anti-consumer piece of legislative corruption known as the Food and Energy Conservative Act of 2008 a k a as “the farm bill.” The most egregious piece of this [...]
A staffer on Capitol Hill wrote this today this to Kathryn Jean Lopez of NRO. On the one hand, John McCain, who stands for smaller government and lower spending, is bemoaned as a non-conservative. On the other hand, House Republicans are chided for participating in a big spending farm bill boondoggle and not being conservative [...]
