It’s Return of the Crap Sandwich.

Whatever you call the Obama Jobs Bill, it’s more red ink, generational theft, and wealth redistribution all rolled up into another Democrat “economic recovery” intervention.
Democrat Rep. Brad Sherman admits that his leadership has told him not, not, not to use the s-word when [...]

After engaging in mind-boggling acts of non-stop generational theft over the past year and blowing through the debt ceiling during the Christmas holiday, the White House and Democrat majority have unveiled a phony plan to “solve” the red-ink disaster they helped create by kicking the can to a toothless panel.
GOP Sen. Judd Gregg calls it [...]

On Sunday night, Public Policy Polling (swing state specialists) released the latest stunning numbers in the Massachusetts Senate race. Martha Antoinette Coakley is hemorrhaging independents and the enthusiasm gap is widening as the Bay State heads into the January [...]

My column today builds on this post about the slacker mandate in Demcare — and examines how the chief architects of the government health care are openly achieving single-payer-by-proxy. Listen to the final self-congratulatory paeans to “health care as a right” this morning and you’ll understand exactly what I’m talking about and exactly what they [...]

Nanny State Gone Wild.

In January, I dubbed the porkulus bill the “Generational Theft Act of 2009.” Generational theft has been the leitmotif of the Obama administration throughout the entire year. We rang in the new year with it and the White House and Democratic majority want to end the year with it by ramming [...]

Hell if I know if the public option is really dead or not. As usual, there’s no concrete language for the public to see. Only public press conferences alluding to vague backroom door agreements. Safe bet: The public option is a Democrat policy toe fungus that may disappear temporarily, but will come back with a [...]

As we gather ‘round the Thanksgiving table, bow our heads in prayer, and feast on the holiday bird, it is only fitting to take a moment to fete the unforgettable turkeys of 2009.
1. The stimulus. Back in February, I wrote that if the trillion-dollar stimulus plan were a [...]

Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet made weekend headlines with his noble declaration that he’ll stand by the Demcare takeover — even if it means losing his job.
Since he was already well on his way to losing his seat thanks to his reckless vote for generational theft and bogus government job inflation, where’s the sacrifice?
This isn’t called [...]

“Extreme” in a skirt.

Well, the results of an actuarial analysis of the Democrats’ government health care takeover bill are finally out — a week after the House rammed the bill through and buried on a Saturday night.
Ho-hum. Nothing to see here except another massive act of generational theft:
The House-approved healthcare overhaul would raise the costs of healthcare by [...]

It’s arrived. Arising from the vapor, the House health care bill weighs in this morning at 1,900 pages.
Download it here and do the legislative reading most congressional representatives won’t do.

And the starting cost for what Nancy Pelosi is billing an “affordable health care plan for America?”
$894 billion — paid for, of course, on the generational [...]

Cash for Clunkers.
Cash for Kitchens.
And now…Cash for Coiffures:
Arguing in favor of President Barack Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in January Democratic Congressman and senate candidate Paul Hodes claimed the stimulus act would “Reduce Soaring Unemployment.”
It hasn’t worked out that way.
Instead, according to a report issued by the New Hampshire Office of Economic Stimulus, the [...]

Bring the pain.

My syndicated column today covers the dawn of Generational Theft Act II. Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi purportedly walked back the rhetoric. Except she didn’t. While saying she was “committed to the first stimulus, and to giving it time to work,” she then turned around and floated another extension of unemployment benefits and a giant new highway [...]

Spawn of the Porkulus Beast!

It’s going to dead people:
Millions of Americans on Social Security are receiving $250 checks as part of the president’s stimulus plan — including an Anne Arundel woman who died more than 40 years ago.
The woman’s son, 83-year-old James Hagner, said he got the surprise when he checked his mailbox late last week.
“It shocked me and [...]

My syndicated column commemorates Barack Obama’s 100 days with the Scare Force One story as a take-off point. Imagine if this fiasco had happened under George Bush’s watch. It would have made the Left’s incessant carping over the “fake plastic turkey,” Mission Accomplished banner, and My Pet Goat incidents look like [...]

It’s here!
For the Johnny-Come-Latelys in the MSM who will be dispatched by their editors to file obligatory stories about the hundreds of Tax Day Tea Party protests across the country today, here is a cheat sheet to get you up to speed.
Feb. 15: Keli Carender, who blogs as “Liberty Belle” spread the word about a [...]

Prescription for pain.

Getting a clue.

Last month before signing the Generational Theft Act of 2009, President Obama and Bozo the VP Joe Biden extolled a solar panel manufacturer that outfitted the Denver Museum of Science and Nature. I pointed out the generous government help the company received. Now, the Colorado-based Independence Institute provides the rest of the story — and [...]

Hey, Associated Press: Way to look after the public interest! A month after the Generational Theft Act was rushed through Congress and signed into law, the news service tells us that the jobs projections were basically pulled out of thin air.
The title of the AP’s penetrating, belated analysis: “Bold claims of stimulus jobs can’t be [...]

Americans for Tax Reform sent out a breaking e-mail alert this afternoon announcing that GOP Sen. Arlen Specter will oppose Big Labor’s Card Check bill. This is a huge relief. Democrats are one short of the 60 needed to move it forward.
But it’s no time to do cartwheels over Specter.
He handed the Generational Theft Act [...]

“This has been welling up for a long time.”

Eric Odom reports that there are now 115 cities signed up for the April 15 nationwide Tax Day Tea Party protest. Wow. If you haven’t signed up, want to start your own, and are looking to meet up and organize with other tax revolters, go to Tax Day Tea Party’s website here.
Here’s a quick how-to [...]

My syndicated column today spotlights the return of thrift in individual American households — a phenomenon that stands in stark contrast to the unmitigated profligacy embraced by Barack Obama’s White House.
Opposition is growing to the confisctory spending train: Witness the Senate Republican success in delaying the omni-pork, coupled with the aggressive House GOP call [...]

“Washington sends $1 food stamp checks to 250,000.”

My syndicated column reports on the growing, grass-roots movement against porkulus/spending binges/the entitlement culture from Seattle to Denver to Mesa, Arizona and beyond. Why aren’t you hearing about it in the MSM? Because it doesn’t fit the victim mentality/government savior narrative. We don’t exist, remember?
Well, more of you non-existent rebels will be [...]
