Boehner to Obama: We Need to Start Cutting Spending Now
merrie
by merrie  Yesterday 11:23 PM    1
 In a letter sent to President Obama last week, Boehner and House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) asked the president to invoke his authority under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to submit specific proposals rescinding spending already in place. Boehner and Cantor pledged that if the president grants their request and chooses to use this authority, which has been invoked 1,178 times by previous presidents, they will introduce each proposal as a stand-alone bill in the House of Representatives. "Here in the House of Representatives, there is no shortage of opportunities to vote on bills increasing spending or creating new programs, but very seldom do we consider bills to actually reduce spending or eliminate programs," Boehner and Cantor wrote last week. "Since increasing the debt limit by $290 billion on December 16, the House has not considered one bill to reduce the national debt.

by BobbyRutan  Yesterday 12:42 AM    2
 Anthem said its costs have been driven up in part because the weak economy has led many people in good health to forgo coverage, leaving those with greater medical needs in its pool of customers. i.e.... due to the republican recession healthy people are playing russian roulette in the hopes of saving some bucks so they can either pay the house mortgage or ride it out till the find a job.

Government protects kids, moms and dads pay more

by gemfemfox  2-8-2010   
 Hasbro and Mattel can tell whatever story they like about "why" their revenues and profits are up. But the truth is that the Children's Lead Protection laws increased the price of toys by nearly 30%. As well as kids' clothes - pajamas and socks/underwear had the largest jump. This is what happens EVERY TIME we ask the government to protect us. They pass the law, we foot the bill and the corporation is allowed to increase their profit margins. EVERY single time.

Daily Presidential Tacking Poll
kareval
by kareval  2-7-2010   
 As the federal budget debate heats up, just 35% of voters realize that most federal spending goes to just three areas: National Defense, Social Security, and Medicare. Check out our review of last week’s key polls to see “What They Told Us.” The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook. Overall, 44% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. That matches the lowest level of overall approval yet measured for this president. Fifty-five percent (55%) now disapprove. The first review of Scott Rasmussen’s new book said “In Search of Self-Governance promises to be the type of provocative and compelling tome for the decade to come that The Third Wave and The Tipping Point were in decades past.” Larry Sabato calls it a “thought-pro

America Rising
merrie
by merrie  2-6-2010    2
 Of course, every economist and statistician I have talked to on air says the stats don’t exist and this statement in most part is a fabrication. The Congressional Budget office said there were only 600,000-1.6 million of potentially created jobs. It said it was impossible to determine how many of those jobs could have existed without the stimulus package. Another lie Obama smoothly threw out was about the White House and Congress doing their work openly as the people deserve. What a bunch of bull rot! Obama promised if you remember that the health care negotiations for health care legislation would be aired openly on C-SPAN, so the folks could see what was going on and how it affected them. WRONG. Instead, most has been done behind closed doors. Obama declared in his speech that he and his staff excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on federal boards and commissions. However, once again this was a proven lie. http://bit.ly/UJs5y http://teaparty.org

Why Ronald Reagan was the Greatest President of the 20th Century
kareval
by kareval  2-6-2010    2
 Reagan had three parts to his genius. First, he was a visionary; he believed that people wanted freedom and would do well when more of it was given to them. Whether he was undermining the Soviets, challenging an unlawful union, or deregulating oil production he tried to move in a consistent direction of greater freedom and less government. According to Dinesh D’Souza, “Reagan’s greatness derives in large part from the fact that he was a visionary—a conceptualizer who was able to see the world differently from the way it was.” Reagan knew where he wanted to go: Jimmy Carter, by contrast, had multiple plans to create energy, to generate revenue, and to cut inflation. Often they were contradictory; all of them failed. Reagan was more consistent because he had vision: He knew where he wanted to go and how he wanted to get there. Second, Reagan had character, and in the eyes of America’s Founders, character was a necessary ingredient for greatness. Reagan stood for a set of ideas, and

Obama Has No Choice But to be Pro-Small Business
charlieprofit
by charlieprofit  2-6-2010   
 Well, actually he does have a choice but not if he wants his approval rating to go up. And the ONLY reason he is finally doing SOMETHING for the Americans that pay his salary is because the Democrats no longer have control. He should have never given ANY money to Wall Street and should have put ALL the TARP money into small businesses to begin with. Because you see, instead of creating millions of jobs, he rewarded a few CEO's with fat bonuses (and I don't believe for a second he didn't know they would turn the TARP into bonuses) and he maybe saved a few thousand jobs. But since more Americans have lost their jobs since, or the fact that people are not spending because of this economy, within six months those few thousand, will probably lose their jobs after all. Anyway, here's where Obama is "hoping" to win points with the Independents he pissed off:
