Democrats: Spending for Dummies

August 12th, 2010 | Add a Comment

There  are just too many accounts on how our economy is failing out there to keep track of. I decided to provide a place for the top headlines of today: Democrats: “Spending For Dummies” Or: “How to waste someone else’s money for profit and pleasure” We’ve seen it splattered all across the front pages; more spending for jobs, more spending for bailouts, more spending for Unemployment, more spending for Teachers and Unions and special interests. We’ve also seen deficits rise and the National debt reach numbers that don’t fit on WalMart calculators. America is bankrupt and they (the ruling Political class) don’t even know it…or they don’t seem to care anyway…. Read More HERE DEFICIT ADDS $165,040,000,000.00 — IN ONE MONTH!

Confusing Contradictions

January 27th, 2009 | Add a Comment

For some, news headlines must be very confusing. For those who didn’t know their own minds, they could spend a lot of time going around in circles… TAKE BIRTH CONTROL….or…NOT? Yesterday, a large headline appeared next to Nanny Pelosi’s image, where she insisted that part of the 800+ Billion stimulous package needed to be thrown at Family Planning, birth control, THAT, she was sure would help the economy. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth control funding to the new economic “stimulus” package, claiming “contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.”  Naturally that was met with a sensible, “How you can spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives how does that stimulate the economy?” from House Republican Leader John Boehner.

In this way the American people will accept Communism without knowing it.” Oh, here is another one of his that really makes me think… “The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” … Read entire article »

Confusing Headlines

I have to give Drudge Report credit, he reports both sides of the headlines, even if side by side they are very confusing. In that he does that, says to me, the real truth is not really known. Next to an adorable polar bear image is the headline: WARMING WARNING OF ‘UNRECOGNIZABLE’ EARTH   That’s very strong language, even to the inside of the article… “VALENCIA, Spain (AP) – The Earth is hurtling toward a warmer climate at a … Read entire article »
