It’s no wonder why the hard core conservatives love this chick. It seems like every time she opens her mouth nothing comes out but lies. Take this latest example. One of her reasons for resigning was that it was costing the taxpayers too much money to fight the ethics complaints. Well it turns out that […]
Just go this: Sure he’ll pay it back, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he did it to begin with. While this asshole was out showboating over his rejection of the stimulus funds, he knew damn good and well that he was abusing taxpayers dollars. This guy is a major fraud and shouldn’t be […]
Something we aren’t used to seeing; oversight of an administration, being conducted by the administration’s own party: A congressional oversight committee opened an investigation yesterday into whether the Obama administration is circumventing a law that limits lavish pay for executives at firms benefiting from the $700 billion federal bailout. Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), chairman of […]
I posted the email last night that John McCain sent out stating he would be running for re-election in 2010. The email, as with all of these, was mainly for the purpose of fundraising. But let’s take a look at one key paragraph and what McCain is using to stimulate his fundraising: The economic challenges […]
The TARP was passed as an emergency life line to troubled banks, but read this: A small but growing number of community banks are backing out of the government’s bailout, which they see as fraught with hidden strings and government interference.

NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has been at the front of the battle when it comes to CEOs receiving their golden parachutes, while their companies lay off and ask for government handouts, and he isn’t backing down at all: Calling the layoffs of 53,000 people “disturbing,” Cuomo says top executives shouldn’t get bonuses while investors, […]
The DNC has launched a new ad exposing McCain and his big gambling problem. It’s not just that he gambles at the tables, but he also gambles with taxpayers money with all his gambling industry lobbyists on his campaign:
Paul Krugman has looked at the leaked plan for the financial bail out and he is saying “no deal” to it. Basically the plan doesn’t give the taxpayers anything in return. According to his assessment it appears that the feds are trying to scare Congress into giving the money without any explanation of how it […]
And they want this idiot to be our vice-President? Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.” The companies, as McClatchy reported, “aren’t taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may […]
Part of the McCain statement on Palin had me scratching my head: In Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars. (emphasis […]
