Boortz summarizes a Heritage (a free market, conservative think tank) report: Most government spending has historically reduced productivity and long-term economic growth due to: Taxes. Most government spending is financed by taxes, and high tax rates reduce incentives to work, save, and invest–resulting in a less motivated workforce as well as less business investment in …
On the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Generational Theft bill. As one can seen here, this bill is nothing more than every Liberal’s earmark or voted down spending bill from the last 8 years going forward through the next 8. Even the non-partisan CBO has declared, along with LOTS of economists, that this is NOT a stimulus bill, that …

When I think back of how the MSM (Main Stream Press) have sycophantically covered Obama during the campaign and so far in his administration, I just had to shake my head in agreement with this. Peter Kirsanow over at NRO hit it right on the head: Our Adversarial Press So . . . we’re …

We’ve been hearing about the doom and gloom of global warming for a number of years now by our leading politicians, celebrities, and some scientists. Al Gore got an Oscar for his film about Global Warming (and then a top British court mandated warnings be shown with it for its inaccuracies). Anyways, the top question …

Famous words from former NH Gov. Thompson. Unfortunately, it seems that most states have ignored these wise words (which most Liberals hate because it draws them up short against a basic law of economics). And now they wonder why their budgets are so out of control (like California and New York)? And with this Presidential …
That’s what the man, President Obama said! Problem is, that is only going to happen if investors continue to purchase our debt instruments – once they stop (hey, if the stream seems never ending, would you continue?), the jig is up. Like everyone else (individuals, companies), at some point, some deleveraging will need to occur. …
No doubt that there is angst in the ranks and at the top as to how to rebuild the Republican Party given the losses we have taken lately. "Do this, no do that, hey, stop doing something else" seems to be the words that ring out often and loudly as everyone seems to be trying …

Many economists and financial future-seekers are saying that for right now, we are in the business ditch as companies are downsizing their workforces and their profit projections in the near term. Those same soothsayers also are being cautious in saying that the uptick will not be at least until the end of the year year, …
Here is Rule 13 of Alinksy’s Rules for Radicals: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Sure thing, President Unite-us-all. I remember the last time this was tried – the Dems all but bit President Bush’s hand as he came into Washington touting his actual more even-handed ways from being Texas Governor …
I’ve blogged about socialized medicine (aka, "Universal Healthcare") a number of times here at the ‘Grok (here, here, and here for examples). And you know that the lure of "free" healthcare will appeal to a lot of people now that we are in an economic downturn. The problem is, once done, it will be a …
