Largest Drop in Federal Tax Revenues Since Great Depression
Remember how irresponsible the Liberals said George W. Bush was for spending money on Iraq when the economy was in such bad shape, by their reckoning?
Well, he doesn’t hold a candle to Obama’s spendfest in the face of the single largest one-year drop in tax revenues since the Great Depression.
At this rate, Social Security is [...]
Liberal Policies Hit Home
I got my property valuation notice in the mail today. Thanks to the idiocy brought to us in part by the unintelligible, mush-mouthed, paste-eating, clown-act Bawney Fwank, I have now lost 50% of the equity in my home.
Honorable mentions go to Chris Dodd (currently under Congressional investigation for corruption), Maxine Waters, Gregory Meeks, Franklin Raines, [...]
Republican Traitors
Here they are, the 8 GOP members who voted in favor of the Cap & Trade Tax. This is the nearest thing I could come up with to a perp walk.

The Waxman-Markey $9 Trillion Cap-and-Tax Bill
The liberal Brookings Institute yesterday released an analysis of the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill. The bill has been presented by the Democrats as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 83% by 2050.

Obamanomics: Green Jobs = Pay Cuts
A new post from Steve Milloy’s Green Hell Blog reveals that Obama’s much touted “green jobs” are not such a great thing after all.
Most people shifting into the green sector should expect to see a pay cut of as much as 60%. These jobs are simply too costly for the market to bear, provindg more [...]
Socialism Inspires Utah’s First Tea Party
From my friend, David Kirkham:
Why I Organized Utah’s First Tea Party on March 6, 2009.
14 years ago the world was an exciting place–the Berlin Wall had fallen; Russia was imploding; and her satellite countries were throwing off the bonds of long, dark years of political and economic oppression. My brother and I found ourselves looking [...]
A View of Socialism’s Effects
David Kirkham is the organizer behind most of Utah’s Tea Parties. He sent this in an email today.
“At a moment like this, the last thing we can afford is four more years of the tired, worn-out, old theory that…prosperity trickles down…” –Barak Obama

Obama Budget Raises Deficit To Record Highs
The Office of Management and Budget is predicting a higher-than-expected, $1.8 Trillion budget deficit for 2009 and a $1.3 Trillion deficit for 2010, according to a statement released by Peter Orszag, Director of the OMB.
The effect is the same as making $50,000 per year, but spending $100,000 a year. It is mathematically impossible to pay [...]
Obama’s $17 Billion Budget Cut
Pres. Obama has increased the amount to be cut from the federal budget to a whopping $17 Billion. I remember when $17 Billion would have made a pretty good dent in the budget. Of course, I was three years old at the time.
Obama has been touting the significance of his $17 Billion budget cut. Funny…it [...]
