This blog post and video are amazing. Check it out.

22 March 2009 - Silly bonus outrage versus reality
Last week we got a real dose of how absolutely ridiculous our elected officials have become. If I collected the outraged spittle flying out of the mouths of members of the House of Representatives, I could have turned Nevada into lush farmland. All the outrage over employees of AIG who received retention bonuses. The real [...]

12 February 2009 - Incredible Graphic of Stimulus Package
This is sooooo worth checking out. It’s an incredibly well-done graphic by the Washington Post detailing all of the ways your money’s going to be spent. It makes so much so clear, but doesn’t hide its unpleasantness, like one of those 19th century drawings of an infection that’s killing a man.

12 February 2009 - Earmarks vs Porkulus
Barack Obama and congressional Democrats keep touting a canard that this wonderful stimulus bill they are ramming through is “completely free of earmarks”. Let’s examine that statement. The definition of an Earmark is as follows (from Wikipedia): In US politics an earmark is a congressional provision that directs approved funds to be spent on specific [...]

His initial remarks suggest that the stimulus plan is to help the downtrodden.Has mentioned seriousness but not anything yet [...]

05 February 2009 - Democrat Stimulus Bill must be rewritten – CALL YOUR SENATOR!
As we have written in the space before, the “stimulus bill” is primarily a collection of Democratic party detritus and paybacks to donors from the Presidential campaign. Since the urgency of this legislation was to stimulate the economy, this bill should be killed in the senate. There are many valid programs in the bill and [...]

26 January 2009 - Stimulus that doesn’t stimulate – Part II
In our first post examining the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act we examine each category of spending and commented on whether or not it was worthwhile as well as its impact on stimulating the economy. Last week saw a Congressional Budget Office report (or draft) that drew some of the same conclusions that we did [...]

17 January 2009 - Democrat stimulus package or massive pork bill? You decide-Part 1
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009 is perhaps the most appalling piece of proposed legislation I have ever seen. The stated purpose of the bill is to jumpstart the economy and create jobs. The bill itself claims that there are no earmarks in this bill. That is one of the most comical claims [...]
