The basis of his economic theory

May 7, 2013

You can steal from your children and your grandchildren with impunity because, after all,  ”In the long run, we’re all dead“. “We repudiated entirely customary morals, conventions and traditional wisdom.

NH Democrats Focused on The Economy

May 4, 2013

Hah!  No they’re not.  If that were true they wouldn’t be blowing out the state budget and growing spending five times faster than estimated growth. Democrats.  Don’t you love them? What they are actually focused on is off-shoring (that’s a metaphor) their own responsibility for managing our sovereign state.  Instead of standing up and running on the Democrat party [ Read more ]

There is No Ball

May 3, 2013

Do New Hampshire Democrats have their priorities straight?  Think about it.  The economy is creeping along.  No one is projecting even moderate growth.  Employment is likely to remain flat which means unemployment is as well.   All in all, the best we can hope for, according to all the ‘experts’ is to drift along for a while.  So what [ Read more ]

Don’t Think The Debt Matters, Think Again

October 19, 2012

We’re $16,000,000,000,000 in debt. Don’t think it matters?  Consider this: who owns the debt, and what is going to happen when they collect?  How are government programs going to remain funded when interest payments on the debt begins to siphon off those funds into coffers of the bondholders?  Ask yourself this question again after you’ve [ Read more ]

Democrats Screw Most Vulnerable Again

October 8, 2012

A question that has long ago been answered is can government lift people up?   The answer is no.  It can only hold them down.  When it holds them all down the Liberals call this equality and history has yet to provide one example where the kind of planned economy Democrats favor ever did any better [ Read more ]

Can Using Only Tax Increases Address The Debt Problem?

October 3, 2012

This is how I understand it. We have $16,000,000,000,000 in debt.  We’re spending $1,000,000,000,000 more a year than we bring in, and we’ve been doing it for the last 4 years. As a conservative, I see it as a spending problem; we simply spend more money than we have. We get the money by borrowing [ Read more ]

Face Plant – So Who Do We Tax After That?

September 24, 2012

As a followup to this post on Taxing the rich, I did want to point something else out.   Even if you taxed the rich at 100% you still couldn’t pay for even one year of Obama/Democrat spending.  Not even one full year.  And that’s just for running the government, and not a penny toward the [ Read more ]

Remembering Democrat Rule – No Taxes Means More Taxes

September 15, 2012

In 2007 New Hampshire Democrats assumed complete control of state government.  And much like the Democrat rhetoric in the current 2012 campaign, back in 2007,  their first budget,  New Hampshire’s first budget over 10 billion dollars, was billed by the Democrats as a budget that “addresses our state’s priorities without new taxes.” Addresses our ‘State’s’ [ Read more ]

Joke: Three NH Democrats for Governor Walk Into A Debate…

September 6, 2012

…all three of them want to raise your taxes.  But seriously folks….they do.  They all want to empower the state to take more of your money.  So what is there to debate? …How they disguise that desire.  But it is a distinction without a difference, or is that a difference without a distinction?

Pledge Zombie Apocalypse

August 28, 2012

Democrat Candidate Jackie Cilley is trying to rally the extreme left of the already extreme left in the New Hampshire Democrat party by pretending to be a moderating voice for tax policy.  Her distinction without a difference (other than that she is being direct about her desire for a broad based tax) is that the [ Read more ]

Paul Ryan it is: “Hiding Spending Does Not Reduce Spending” (see below)

August 11, 2012

Bottom line: “We dont’ think government should be in control of all this. We think the people should be in control.” Watch this video; look at the facial expressions and body language of the two politicians to his left; look at the fear and loathing emanating from the other political class pigs around that table!

Congressional Stalemate is better than Financial Disaster

March 27, 2012

Is Congress at a stand-still?  If so, is that good or bad? Americans elect representatives whose views, they believe, are best for our country and our people.  Since Americans disagree about these things, there will be disagreements, conflicts and even stalemates in Congress. Our nation’s founders wanted to ensure that extreme legislation, violating their principles, [ Read more ]

Response to Attacks on Republicans for PAYGO

October 13, 2011

Hightower’s article and Veverka’s letter are just partisan attack pieces. It is a common liberal technique to attack anyone who tries to stop or even slow the growth of government. Anyone who won’t cave to whatever liberals demand will be smeared. It doesn’t matter whether the program works, is worth the cost, is counter-productive, or is affordable.

Would You Suck Twice as Hard for Half as Much?

August 30, 2011

This particualr faerie story center around three graphs from the Government Printing Office (GPO). Not the fed, the treasury, or even some fruit-loop left wing think tank, but the GPO. The GPO prints stuff, and answers to the Executive branch. So right out of the toy-box we have to question these partisan stills, presented as they are in a partisan manner, bearing guestimated facts and assumptions, with no basis in reality
