With President Obama demanding an “up or down” vote on sweeping health care reform, it’s worth reminding people of what government has done where involved with medical care and “bringing down costs.” The leadership in Washington will push for virtually any reform bill no matter how bad or unconstitutional, and when things eventually get worse, [...]

Environmental devotees of so-called climate change, or global warming, are now scrambling to issue some bit of truth after being exposed for their serial deceptions. Currently they are saying that 15 years of no warming does not constitute a trend. Fair enough.
However, if the science behind man-made warming is as rock-solid as they claim, then [...]

President Obama’s ability for deception is quite stunning after reading an article simply titled The Lies of Obama. Readers should keep in mind that this list was compiled in just the first year of Obama’s presidency.
When politicians are caught out in lies, their supporters often resort to the old cliché: all politicians lie. But that [...]

Despite the recklessness of these institutions that heavily contributed to the financial meltdown, $42 million in compensation was announced on Christmas Eve for executives of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The Obama administration is allowing huge salaries and bonuses along with a pledge for “unlimited financial assistance” to these mortgage giants.
There has been little outcry [...]

Democrat’s Health Bill Would Still Leave 23 million People Uninsured, Raise Taxes, and Ration Care

This nearly $900 billion bill would be paid for by $483 billion in cuts to Medicare and other federal health programs, as well as tax increases. Of course the real costs will undoubtedly be much higher as the government is notorious for grossly underestimating costs. Not to mention this is the same government with a [...]

Hidden Costs In Healthcare Reform Will Trigger ‘Massive’ New Taxes

by SteveK @ Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009. Tags: , , , , , ,
Filed under Economics, Government, Healthcare

It was no small lie when Obama promised the American people that they would not be hit with any new or increased taxes for those earning less than $250,000 per year. Unfortunately, that broken promise will turn out to be the biggest and most devastating lie any president in history has ever told. And that [...]

Michael Moore is at it again with another hit piece, this time attacking capitalism.
Moore was recently on the Jay Leno show and said, “Capitalism is actually legalized greed. There’s nothing wrong with people earning money, starting a business, selling shoes. That’s not what I’m talking about. We’re at a point now Jay, in this country, [...]

Obama Scolds Wall Street About Responsibility, But Doesn’t Clean His Own House

by SteveK @ Tuesday, September 15th, 2009. Tags: , , , , ,
Filed under Economics, Government

In a pot calling the kettle black moment, president Obama lectured Wall Street about “responsibility, not recklessness.” Obviously the president, like the rest of Congress, never bothered reading the so-called stimulus bills he signed, not mention the Democrats’ other perverse pieces of legislation from Obamacare to Cap and Trade. Nor did the Washington elite seem [...]

Filed under Economics, Government

At first, then candidate Obama said his administration would “create” jobs, which then slowly morphed into “create or save” once he became president. He repeatedly claimed the so-called stimulus was to already have saved or created at least 150,000 American jobs, and by boosting the stimulus spending he could “save or create” an additional 600,000 [...]
