Fiscal Responsibility Conservative Style

News

Articles like this always make me laugh: State government is owed more than $33 million in unpaid fines and interest from candidates and political committees cited by the Ohio Elections Commission. At least four local campaign committees are on Attorney General Richard Cordray’s list of scofflaws being pursued – so far without success – by […]

How’s That Fiscal Responsibility Thing Going?

Society

It looks like a lot more trouble for the party of “fiscal responsibility”: The RNC spent more than $340K at a semi-annual meeting in Honolulu in Jan., the latest example of the party spending lavishly on itself while GOP officials worry they won’t have enough money to take advantage of a promising national landscape this […]

Politics

Here’s some interesting dirt on Michael Steele: According to two knowledgeable sources, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele once raised the possibility of using party money to buy a private jet for his travel. “I know that … regular ongoing use of planes was something that was looked at,” says one person with direct knowledge.

Obama Proposes A Spending Freeze

Politics

This really seems like a game of politics to me: resident Barack Obama will call in his State of the Union address for a three-year freeze on spending for many domestic programs as part of his strategy to rein in the deficit, administration officials said.

Misc

I would love to see Obama approach Paul Krugman, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient in economy, and offer him an advisory position to the administration. Here’s part of Krugman’s latest: Right now, many commentators are urging Mr. Obama to think small. Some make the case on political grounds: America, they say, is still a conservative […]

Bush Wants An End To Earmarks

Misc

That’s what he said last night. Unfortunately for him it’s his own party that is balking at the idea: Even as Bush called on Congress to cut earmarks in half and announced an executive order cracking down on the projects, Republicans in Congress were sending out a mixed message about what their party really stands […]

Novakula Attacks!

Misc

He is going after the spend happy Republicans. When House Republicans convene behind closed doors today at the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., they have a chance to make two bold moves to restore their reputation for fiscal responsibility.
