“This is not class warfare. It’s math.” These are the words of President Obama on September 19th in defense of his claim that raising the taxes of a few to pay for services used by many is justifiable. This is his justification for asking the wealthiest 1% to “Pay a Little More,” or, as he [...]

You know, I was planning on going through the President’s Rose Garden Speech, but after nearly four pages of dissecting lies, misrepresentations, and redundant generalities, I gave up. The way I see, if the President isn’t going to say anything new…or at least truthful…then I didn’t need to waste my time. In case you don’t [...]

“Pass This Bill Right Away.” When I last posted about the President’s “American Jobs Act,” this was the crux of his argument, that Congress needed to pass this bill right away, and that the population needed to contact their Representatives to tell them to do just that. Not to read it, not to discuss it, [...]

Well, at least that’s what [...]

I want to know what is so confusing about the fact that the Federal Government has NO MONEY and is currently facing a Debt/Deficit Crisis? I mean, really, haven’t we all been hearing about the terrible and imminent danger to our “entire way of life” as a result of hitting the Debt Ceiling on August [...]

The President has made it clear that his line in the sand regarding the ongoing Debt/Deficit Debate is that the Republicans will have to compromise on Taxes. In exchange, he’s willing to consider reform to Entitlement Programs, and what he considers to be massive spending cuts. Four Trillion, in fact, is currently “on the table”…over [...]
