  • Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

    Ronald Reagan

    When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.

    We have a system that increasingly taxes and subsidizes nonwork.

    The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money

    Alexis de Tocqueville

    ---

    Those of us who manage the public dollars will be held to account to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day, because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and our government.

    Barack Hussein Obama, 1/20/09

    My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.

Random Political Thoughts 2/15/09

Given that the Democrats have solid control of the Legislative and Executive branches of government, why is it that we keep hearing about the Republicans voting against Porkulus? Why is it that bipartisanship is now so important, when it wasn’t an issue before this? Answer: because they solely OWN Porkulus. They know that it’s short [...]

Replenishing Treasury Revenues

The Federal Government is spending money like a Congressman adding pork to unrelated legislation, and has now had to resort to printing money to keep up with spending.
The simple solution is for President Obama to line up several dozen candidates for open Cabinet positions. The Democrat candidate will pay back taxes and penalties, the media [...]

The Artful Tax Dodger Gets Confirmed

Michelle Malkin has a post with the roll call vote confirming Turbo Tax Tim as Treasury Secretary. Yes, the main who dodged taxes and partially blamed it on a widely-used tax prep program, will have hundreds of billions of taxpayer $$$s at his disposal to spend as he sees fit.
Be sure to watch the YouTube [...]

Turbo Tax Tim

Maybe conventional wisdom is wrong, and a contrarian view is needed on the Geithner nomination. In fact, I’ll even go so far as to defend him. After all, if it’s good enough for Schmuck Schumer to defend Geithner, it’s good enough for me.
Given his past history of tax payments, perhaps he was merely protesting against [...]

Democrat Hypocrisy (yet again)

Browsing through various conservative blogs and forums, the general consensus is that the Republican Party has abandoned conservatism, and it didn’t just happen in the past year. And of course, many “Republicans” have jumped on the Obama bandwagon, and in the process, are further compromising Conservative principles.
So it’s a bit surprising (although certainly welcome) that the [...]

Honest Mistakes?

Timothy Geithner, the man chosen by BHO to be Treasury Secretary, has “revealed” that he has repaid $42,702 in back taxes and penalties, and that he once “briefly” employed an undocumented worker.
Of course, Schmuck Schumer, the rabidly partisan senior Senator from New York, has proclaimed that “these mistakes are not at all disqualifying”.  Robert Gibbs, [...]
