Results for "stimulus-palooza"

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 [...]

President Doom.

Rob Bluey at Heritage rounds-up the latest developments on stimulus-palooza:
1) Today at 10 a.m. House Republicans, led by Whip Eric Cantor, will convene a hearing at Obama’s invitation to come up with alternatives to his stimulus. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman will testify on the first panel. Cantor’s staff [...]

It’s back. I’ve been writing for nearly a year about the Democrats’ attempts to allow bankruptcy judges to rewrite home loans and and radically expand government’s role in meddling with private contracts. They tried to attach it to last year’s stimulus.
And now, they’re poised to attach it to Obama’s Generational Theft Act of 2009.
More galling: [...]

Craptastic.

Order up.

Taste the Crap Sandwich.

Debunked.

No cash for trash.

Scroll for updates…Thanks to N.Z.Bear/Porkbusters for a link to the 108-page draft bill…updated version here…
It’s full steam ahead for the trillion-dollar-plus bailout boondoggle. Washington is euphoric.
If you didn’t already have a sick feeling in your stomach all week, the photos of the late-night press conference announcing that a tentative deal had been struck should make [...]

Boondoggle.

Rejected.

There’s really only one thing to say about tonight’s announcement that the weasel feds have changed their minds and will fork over $85 billion to rescue troubled insurer AIG:
(*$&^(&)%(&)*(^&*%&@!!!@#^@!!!!!!!
I listened to a lot of foolish people praising the government earlier today for not giving in to bailout pressure.
I was not one of them.
Why? Because [...]

Welcome to another Black Monday.
Or rather, Red Monday — red for all the hemorrhaging taking place on Wall Street.
Lehman Brothers is filing for bankruptcy; Bank of America Corp. is buying Merrill Lynch & Co. For once, they didn’t get straight-out bailouts from Washington. But the Fed took several actions “to provide additional support to [...]

The bomb.

Boo-freaking-hoo.

Costs and consequences.

Once is never enough.

Oh, triple-crikey. God save us from bipartisanship again. Washington is in a tizzy over the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac financial crisis. The stocks plunged yesterday and a former Fed governor declared them “insolvent.” Keep an eye on the markets this morning for more freefall. Panicked Republicans and Democrats have joined clammy hands to declare their fealty [...]

“Full of trash to the ceiling.”

We’re screwed.

“The trick will be to convince the consumer that the rebate check is bigger than it is.”

The Senate is on its way to passing yet another massive mortgage boondoggle. It would pile billions of dollars more in stimulus-palooza spending on top of the $152 billion already passed into law and radically expand government’s role in meddling with private contracts. Last night, members voted on a cloture motion to push forward with [...]

The celebrated “bank terrorist” who harasses children.

Bleak.

“Not only do I feel no guilt whatsoever about sucking from the state’s teat, I feel that I’m absolutely entitled to it.”

Score.

Liberal-nomics.
