Cardinal Sin: Santorum Attacks Reagan!

Misc

I guess we should declare Rick Santorum now on suicide watch: While addressing America’s entitlement crisis at his first New Hampshire event since his stunning near-victory in the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday, Santorum said Reagan contributed to the entitlement crisis by pushing Social Security’s sustainability issues down the road instead of dealing with them head-on […]

Congressional benefits—premium federal health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days—now THAT’S welfare!

What The People Really Want

Politics

I am so sick of hearing Republicans like John Boehner say they are there to “represent the people”. Bullshit! They are there to represent special interest. If it was the other way around then they would listen to poll results like this: Raising taxes on the rich beats out cuts to defense spending, Medicare or […]

Talking Deficit Reduction

Politics

Ezra Klein lays out the odds of the GOP reducing the deficit should they regain control of Congress: If Republicans take the House and the Senate, how much likelier is a full extension of the Bush tax cuts? I’d say it goes up to 70 percent, and the only reason I don’t say 100 percent […]
