Deficits

Drowning In Debt

Steve MacDonald

Democrats will blame Bush, but after 2006 they had the power to stop every penny of it. Instead, they stepped on the accelerator. November is coming. We must stop the spending

Creative Options Wanted

Steve MacDonald

The headline reads (Today’s Union Leader) "Panel Hears Creative Options For Closing Budget Hole."

Someone call governor Lynch, the Nashua Telegraph,(Keene Sentinel, etc) and the NHDP–last I heard the democrats and their media friends were claiming we had a "surplus."  Of course the ‘surplus’ was never sold in its proper context–as in, "hey I just found twenty dollars in the front pocket of my hoodie, another 100 million and that just leaves us with all the other debt we bonded and passed on to the next bunch of suckers."

No, they were plying media spin for weeks by impregnating the punch drunk minds of the public with the word "surplus."  Poppies…Poppies…. But the only surplus was surplus spin, which to those of us who have been paying any attention at all correctly identified as BS.

The Jobs Deficit.

Steve MacDonald

Here’s a suitable followup to the McLuster post.  She (McLuster) whined about Bush tax cuts–that’s where a president let people keep what they legally earned and… oops the economy got better and 3.5 million jobs were created. 

Does that number sound familiar?  3.5 Million jobs?  It should.

Obama and the spendocrats spent trillions to create….3.5 million jobs.  That was the promise.  Stimulus=3.5 million new jobs.  In fact every spending program–and there were quite a few–turned into a jobs program.  Are you thinking what I’m thinking?  Their definition of jobs is different from ours.

Ann McLane Kuster….Let’s just Call Her McLuster

Steve MacDonald

Uh Hee hee, duh!Ann McLane Kuster, aside from having another one of those pretentious feminist names like Carol Seiu-Porter, has demonstrated to us that she is just another shill for the left wing narrative.  The road map to shill-dom (the most current public version at the very least) was printed in this morning’s Union Leader under the headline “Yes, The Bush tax cuts did harm our economy” in the Another View section of the editorial page.  Yes, it is another view, and while I’m no fan of GWB, her view just happens to be a biased view that is also wrong.

 

Before I explain why, let me get this out of the way.  I’m not writing ‘Ann McLane Kuster’ anymore. It is pretentious and annoying, it takes too long to write, so I’m just going to shorten it to McLuster.    And she should thank me.  Combining names is so “all the rage.”  Just think Brangalina! 

McLuster is also the first of a two–word phrase often used by McDonald’s mangers when everything suddenly comes off the rails.  And based on the way she “sees it,” it’s a short stumble from her rhetorical notion of economics to another full-blown federally-mandated McLuster- %$#@!

Blame Congress

Steve MacDonald

As we consider the economic and political situation some folks are clinging to the ‘Blame Bush’ rhetoric while others are focusing on blaming Obama.  While there is blame aplenty in varying amounts, the one consistent factor they share is the one we have the best opportunity to resove in November. They Both shared a democrat … Read more

Blame Lynch

Steve MacDonald

Blame%20Lynch.JPGCourtesy of haystack over at RedState (Dave Poff, who lives in New Hampshire now by the way) we get word of the particulars on the passage of a funding bill in which was stuffed a union hand out disguised as a job creator along with federal money for Medicaid payments. Steve MacDonald

Landigren rolled out the surplus meme again in last Sunday’s Telegraph. Trust me it’s intentional. Lynch just bought more government durring a recession, and then mortgaged the state some more but still could not claim fiscal parity. So he ran begging to his sugar daddy in the federal government for another hit, you know–just to … Read more

A.D.D.D (Revisited)

Steve MacDonald
Sing...Sing a song....Sing out loud....
 
[[Given the recent noise from progressives about unemployment extensions (not just the payments but the joblessness) I thought I’d revisit a post I wrote back in March, the last time we went through this—because to be honest, it still applies.]]
 
 
A.D.D.D
 
There’s this liberal talking point, it’s spin actually, that anyone who does not disown Jim Bunning is an obstructionist.  It is founded on the premise that the Senator was against extending unemployment benefits.  The meme therefore goes; if you do not scold Jim Bunning you hate people who are unemployed and should burn in hell.

This is a natural extension of all the other mutually exclusive applications of association that elitist, finger-wagging, dimwitted, left wing spin doctors and their blindfolded parrot-like familiars shout from the rooftops of foreclosed homes.  It’s the same one that makes all white, heterosexual Christian, men, racist -globalist- misogynistic robber barons, and lets liberals try to escape the hypocrisy of ignoring the behavior of violent liberal bigots and hate mongers while whining about right wing complicity with all the winsome air of finger nails following Obama’s declining popularity down to the bottom of the chalkboard.

Democrat Deficit Deficit Disorder

Steve MacDonald

How many times have you heard people say, "Well the state can’t print its own money?"  Well J-Lynch and the democrats have found a suitable equivalent; just pretend it’s there anyway and call it even. But it’s not enough to just pretend you balanced the budget, you have to follow it up with a cover story and … Read more

What John Lynch IS Good At

Steve MacDonald

John LynchWilliam F. Klessons has stretched credibility to the breaking point. Who is Klessons you ask? He is Salem’s self-styled print equivalent of Keith Olbermann. A Kool-Aid stained liberal apologist and basher of all things to the right of Mussolini in the pages of the Salem Patriot, and the Observer.

Klessons came to my attention when someone sent me a copy of his most recent piece of fiction. In it he proclaims the greatness of Governor Lynch. While everyone is entitled to their opinion Klessons justifies this because of some budget surplus he has imagined, and then lauds the little governor for his business acumen as the catalyst for all the good in the Granite State. Not to knock you off your dung wagon Bill but having no state or income tax is why we are better off than most states and Lynch and the democrats did their best to screw the state up despite that.

Harry Reid’s Innocent Victims

Steve MacDonald

They are making hay and BS sandwiches over at Boo-Hoo Hampshire, this time about the latest unemployment benefits stalemate.   Dean Barker–the Boo Hoo Guru–had begun by waxing on the CBS news coverage on the latest unemployment extension debate when he decided to lament (or perhaps invent) 30 years of GOP policy crushing the little guy, and how even now they are somehow still pulling the levers to crush them even more.  No I’m serious. 

But the best part is the “Boo-Hoo” hook.

The innocent victims, Mr. and Ms. Joe Taxpayer, won’t get what they need to stay solvent.  And nearly one of ten of them can’t find work.  And that’s not counting the vast underemployed.

The innocent victims!  Well what about that?

Carol Is Still Batting .980

Steve MacDonald

Carol “98%” Shea Porter surprised several people when she offered to co-sponsor HR 1207, the Audit the Fed Resolution.  The bill, sponsored by Republican Ron Paul would require an audit of the not so independent “independent” central bank. 

The hobgoblins who run the Fed were not interested in an audit for obvious reasons.  As the manipulators of monetary policy they were and are responsible for trying to manage the boom bust cycle or more appropriately (and more likely) causing it. But they were still part of the government, so for Carol to step up and make even a token gesture was unexpected. 

Or was it?

The End Of The Road

Steve MacDonald

Hat in hand, governor Lynch is looking for the feds to bail him out of the accumulated disaster of his administration. On the matter of extending federal unemployment benefits (from this morning’s Union Leader) the governor was emphatic.

Failure to do so (to extend federal benefits) will jeopardize the economic progress we’ve been making, Lynch said, warning that roughly 20,000 people in the state could run out of benefits in the next four months. Next week alone, 938 people will lose their benefits, he said.

Progress?

You have so mismanaged your stewardship of the state budget, been so beholden to years of irresponsible legislative spending and grossly inaccurate revenue projections, that we are incapable of finding even a few million dollars anywhere in our own state of New Hampshire to resolve any problem without further flights of legislative fancy or begging an even more bankrupt federal government for another handout.

You put us here John Lynch. You created this monster.

Killing Prosperity

Steve MacDonald

The total incompetence in Washington-unless of course they are in fact a super villain like Moriarty hell bent on the economic destruction of the country–is fully on display.  We have people taking profits in 2010 without hiring, giving the impression of a recovery when in fact they are simply storing their nuts for the long … Read more

Why The Stimulus Had To Fail

Steve MacDonald

It’s simple economics.  Government money comes from taxpayers.  The more government spends the more it relies on taxpayers to pay for its spending.  The less money taxpayers have the smaller the economy will be the fewer jobs there are, which means less income, less taxes, more debt.  The stimulus, the huge budget bills, the massive … Read more

Leaving The Scene Of The Crime

Steve MacDonald

Departures from public service are not uncommon.  But how you depart says a lot about who you think you are and what you’ve really accomplished.  Take Kathy Sgambati for example.  She’s leaving the State Senate after only two terms, a paltry four years, but if you read her departure rhetoric it sounds as if she … Read more
