The New Welfare State – video added
When new is old … and scary too. Two stories jumped out at me this morning and they are worth noting.
Read More“Old” Schooling George Stephanopoulos
The debate is raging over whether any spending on anything of any kind is stimulating to the economy. Pell grants, schools, bridges, ATVs, Honey Bees, grass on the mall, etc. doesn’t grow the economy. The work is temporary and requires taking money from citizens. But alas White House Advisor and ABC host of This Week,…
Read MoreRobert Reich vs Newt Gingrich Smackdown
Yes and so much more. Allow me to set it all up.And its all about this week’s “Democrat Talking Point” Reich begins to push the Democrat talking point of the day (more on that in a bit). He claims Republicans don’t want to be a part of the bill because when the economy doesn’t get…
Read MoreJohn McCain:”Generational Theft”
John McCain on with Bob Schieffer this morning on Face The Nation. The question Uncle Bob put to McCain was the standard … “why won’t you support the stimulus? Isn’t even a bad bill better than nothing”. McCain’s response … are you nuts … this is a trillion dollars … or at least that’s what…

But that is exactly what he has done. Here…
Read MoreWhat? Today’s Hardball Moment
Today’s Chris Matthews moment. “Will Republicans get the message from America and vote for it.” No, really, listen. Andrea Mitchell N B C News … tried to pull him back off the ledge a bit at the end … but not with much conviction. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJsnOhrbF1Y Just for your info … here is the latest poll…
Read MoreGood To Know: Another Biden Moment
Do I really need to say anything more than “Joe Biden”. Speaking to the Democrats at the “Rome burns while we party in Williamsburg” function, Joe tells the crowd we have a30% chance of getting it wrong. Hmmm 30%. Like those odds? httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCqqlYTi57A Perhaps this is something he could have told us before the RINOs…
