I come from Generation X, and we are in the same boat financially as the Occupiers, if not worse off since we now have families and mortgages. But the answer is not more big government. The naive young Occupiers should not indebt future generations as was done to our generations. [...] If there is something troubling — or at least politically exploitable — in Romney’s returns, ’twere best it be known quickly. [...] Will religious social conservatives embrace Mitt Romney? Economics is absolutely a “moral issue." [...] The graph or scale of conservatism has been sliding to the left for a long time. Conservatism and capitalism suffered a severe blow when our idiot politicians agreed to the Obama Social Security Tax Cuts for 60 days. Social Security does not have enough money to pay for its obligations. [...] We have more agreements than disagreements and should make the most of our agreements. [...] Congress' inability to properly deal with the budget and related issues may be a matter of political will. [...] It's past time for Congress to "tear up" the U.S. Treasury's credit cards. [...] Here we go again! [...] Just about everyone who pays taxes will receive this $40 billion dollar bonanza for TWO MONTHS. But the folks who are forced to take out a mortgage or refinance will be saddled with paying for this $40 billion dollars for a long time. [...] Progressive stuff that strikes me as really, really funny! [...] Why is the Democratic Senate blocking the bill’s path between Capitol Hill and the White House signing desk, and pushing the bill the House rejected instead? Because Harry Reid doesn’t like how the House version is paid for. [...] Nobody really knows how much his or her upcoming Medicare premiums will be. [...] Starting in January 2013 the gorilla named Obamacare starts taking his swings at America. [...] I actually agree with those liberals emailing me that everyone should indeed “pay their fair share” of taxes. Of course I disagree with them on what that “fair share” should be. [...] There is more to the payroll tax cut extension than the Democrats and their comrades in the media are letting on. The GOP presidential candidates are split down the middle over it. The misinformation is so bad that an apolitical friend of mine wrote her GOP Senator upset about a provision that didn't even exist [...] The latest debacle over the “Keystone Pipeline,” and the ongoing games being played with it by a callous and indifferent White House, give ample proof that whatever his real intentions may be, Barack Obama is not interested in achieving real, workable solutions to the problems facing America . Rather, he views each ensuing catastrophe as [...] Yes if you were on the receiving end of his Christmas present known as the stimulus package, then you may have become wealthier. But not many people became wealthy under Obama in the stock market no matter how hard they hoped and changed! [...] This is not a “tax cut” at all – not in the income tax sense of the word. It is a reduction in the payments made to the Social Security program (SSI). [...] In Congress today there is no capability to resolve the poisonous conflict between the two political factions in office. This sets up irresolvable differences between Congress and the American public. But there is a solution. [...] It is one of the paradoxes of our epoch that the same hand engineered the policies that led to vibrant economic growth both in America and in China. [...] To save this nation, we must begin by saving our local, county and state governments. [...] Former Congressman Matt Salmon, now running for Congress again, demanded that Newt Gingrich step down as Speaker in the mid 1990s, and Gingrich did. Gingrich accomplished a lot for conservatives, but Salmon thought he started backsliding. A comparison of two top conservative leaders with very different approaches. [...] So if the housing market affects a third of the jobs in America, then why is Congress focused on taxes and spending instead of the housing markets and their appraisals? [...] National debt, auto bailouts, TARP and the Post Office. [...] |
