Whatever Happened To “It Takes Money To Make Money”?

Politics

The AP has put out a fact check of President Obama’s claim last night that everything in his jobs program is paid for: resident Barack Obama’s promise Thursday that everything in his jobs plan will be paid for rests on highly iffy propositions. It will only be paid for if a committee he can’t control […]

House Republicans Pass Obamacare For Seniors!

Politics

The House has just passed the Ryan budget plan: The House has passed a Republican budget blueprint proposing to fundamentally overhaul Medicare for future beneficiaries while combating out-of-control budget deficits.

Economy

Does your paycheck still make you cry? Do you wonder why the bosses are all giddy like high school girls? Well this could be why (via Think Progress): At a time most employees can barely remember their last substantial raise, median CEO pay jumped 27% in 2010 as the executives’ compensation started working its way […]

Another #Fail Of GOP Economics

Economy

When the GOP talks about tax breaks for the rich and businesses they always use the argument that the more money business has, the more people they will hire. This has been in a direct conflict of supply and demand economics and more proof is in this: Despite high unemployment and a largely languishing real […]

The Republican’s Fantasy Budget Plan–A.K.A. The Republican Job Killing Budget

Politics

Yesterday the Republican’s released a plan to cut $2.5 trillion in spending over the next 10 years. The plan is being met with a lot of skepticism, even from FOX News where Neil Cavuto noted that the plan actually saves only $330 billion.

Everything Is Bigger In Texas

Economy

Including their deficit: This month the state’s part-time legislature goes back into session, and the state is starting at potentially a $25 billion deficit on a two-year budget of around $95 billion. That’s enormous. And there’s not much fat to cut. The whole budget is basically education and healthcare spending. Cutting everything else wouldn’t do […]

John McCain blasted off a campaign email last night that stated the following: During his first year in office, President Obama and Congressional Democrats have amassed a $12.4 trillion deficit that is growing each day.

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. The proposal, which wouldn’t affect spending on national security, would […]

Cops Are The Same As “Toxic Assets”?

Media

Hey if you are Michelle Malkin they are: Follow the bouncing ball: TARP, the trillion-dollar-plus banking bailout, has morphed from a toxic assets purchase plan to a capital injection plan, back to a toxic assets purchase plan, to a life insurance company bailout, to an auto supplier bailout. I’m sure I forgot more. Well, now […]
