AP story notes Republican involvement in GSE mess

By Steve McGough / December 7, 2008 / Comments Off on AP story notes Republican involvement in GSE mess

I’m fully on board with blaming Democrat lawmakers in Washington for contributing to the mortgage crisis that started with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Republicans introduced legislation that would more closely regulate the government sponsored entities (GSEs). Democrats – including Barney Frank (D-Mass.) – blocked that legislation, all but calling those asking for the changes…

Let’s get Congress and staffers into the individual Obamacare market

By Steve McGough / October 30, 2013 /

Originally, the Affordable Care Act had a provision (the Grassley Amendment) that would put members of Congress into the federal health care exchanges. Grassley’s intent was for member to keep their employer coverage provided by the federal government, but require they choose from the same choices others have on the exchanges. That got screwed up…

Daniel Webster (R. Fl.).  Whether you live in his district or not, please read on. 

Congress is closed

My Dad always used to say that any day Congress was not in session was a good day.  But I think even he would be appalled at the following information.

By Steve McGough / July 28, 2012 /

Hat tip to Phineas at Sister Toldjah. In short, President Obama and the Democrats promised to look at and reduce overwhelming federal regulations, but they keep writing new ones every friggin’ day.

Congress and insider trading – Obama thinks it’s obvious we should ban it

By Steve McGough / January 30, 2012 /

This is a perfect example of Democrats reaching out with obvious solutions that everyone should agree on. Hah! Again, they attempt to treat a symptom, but do nothing at all to cure the disease.

A “Reasonable Profits Board” would not stop with the oil and gas industry

By Steve McGough / January 20, 2012 /

Really, where do these Democrats get off targeting one specific industry as evil and unreasonable since they – by some arbitrary decree – think the industry makes too much money?

Obama wants to bypass the will of the people (Congress)

By Steve McGough / September 15, 2011 /

The United States Constitution and our founding fathers stipulated the people are represented in our federal government by our elected representatives in Congress. President Obama would rather circumvent Congress since it’s not controlled by Democrats.

Oil company executives stand up to Congress

By Steve McGough / May 12, 2011 /

I don’t blame them if some of the answers were confrontational. This attack on big oil profits with Congress-critters spouting off crap like “don’t you think it’s better to give kids education grants instead of giving you profit” is unmistakably stupid. I’m sick of these attacks.

Outgoing Rep. Grayson: We were not progressive enough

By Steve McGough / November 5, 2010 /

The whack-job used the word ‘appeasement” concerning Democrat’s willing to buckle to the pressure of the almighty Republicans in Congress. That’s just friggin’ hilarious since the Executive Branch and Congress was willing to bypass normal rules to mandate what they could during the past two years.
