Well you knew it had to happen sooner or later. Some of you have already suggested it and I can’t say its a bad idea. Have you paid your taxes lately? If you said “yes” then you are in good company.  Millions of Americans not only struggle with the duty of following a convoluted tax code,…

Politicians loaning their own campaigns money … collecting high interest revenue

By Steve McGough / October 31, 2013 /

What an ingenious revenue-generating idea! Politicians are loaning their own campaign money and letting the cash sit in campaign coffers at an interest rate MUCH higher than bank rates. The politicians collect the interest and keep it for themselves, allowing for an ongoing money-laundering scheme.

Steve posted a short piece about this today, and I would like to expand upon it.  Let me begin with the words of Dr. Donald Berwick, the President’s original pick to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Congress strikes back: the FCC and the NLRB

By SoundOffSister / May 4, 2011 /

As you may recall, the FCC’s  Christmas present to America was a rule, issued December 23, 2010, that restricts how Internet service providers (like Verizon, or AT&T, or a host of others) manage traffic on their own Internet systems.  The FCC’s rule was “in response” to a decision by the District of Columbia Circuit Court…

By Steve McGough / January 7, 2011 /

Congress ignores ‘Pay-as-You-Go’ rule in favor of jobs bill

By Steve McGough / February 25, 2010 /

The Congress-critters have done it once again. Last summer when pay-as-you-go legislation was passed in the House, it was political theater providing the illusion Congress was concerned about the deficit. But there were loopholes, always loopholes.

Obama takes over Congress’ job – writes his own health care bill

By Steve McGough / February 20, 2010 /

It’s not supposed to work this way, but our federal leaders continue to make up new policy, procedures and unconstitutional legislation at every turn. President Obama will introduce his own health care legislation and post it on the White House Web site tomorrow or Monday.

Symptom of the Disease: Stimulus funds directed to Obama counties (4)

By Steve McGough / July 9, 2009 / Comments Off on Symptom of the Disease: Stimulus funds directed to Obama counties (4)

There are plenty of ways writers can spin recent details on how stimulus dollars – at a more than two to one ratio – are being directed to counties who voted for Obama/Biden as compared to McCain/Palin. It’s another sexy story, but just another symptom of the disease.
