In an earlier post, the claim was made that looking at gunrunning operations during the Bush administration was "stupid" since everything went so smoothly under the Wide Receiver program. Well then, if that’s the case, WR should stand up under close scrutiny just fine, shouldn't it? The operative word here is "if." The F&F operation was not conceived in a vacuum. The fact that gunrunning tactics were initially (mis)conceived in 2005-2006 is inescapable, as ...

Is there any reason that gross incompetence is not just as much grounds for impeachment as grossly illegal acts? In fact, there are a number of democracies where the prime minister CAN be fired for loss of confidence - which is the same thing. I'm sure no one needs to ask why I ask the question. Should the bar for removal be set so high that it all but guarantees that the nation must suffer the catastrophic damage caused by an utterly inept President merely because he's ma ...

'Scuse me for any typos or double remarks if any. I am trying to type this as he speaks. He plans to veto earmarks (how can this happen-there is no line item veto), cut LIHEAP program, freeze federal employee wages for 2 years (didn't they already do that?), cut military spending as Gates wanted, will work with everyone to simplify the tax code, but it sounds like he doesn't want to change anything with SS. He wants to increase taxes for those earning over $200K. Then he wants to ...

By Walter Alarkon - 04/20/10 08:50 AM ET Senate Democrats have written their budget resolution so they can pass jobs legislation using reconciliation, the controversial process used last month to move healthcare reform. The resolution does not specify what specific jobs measures could be covered, and does not explicitly allow for the use of reconciliation rules to pass energy legislation or the extension of George W. Bush-era tax cuts set to expire at the end of the ...

Question for liberals - if Obama is such a wonderful president and manager, can anyone tell me why he has not had a budget in 3-1/2 years? He is such a dismal failure. Having a hard time admitting it, I guess. The Romney/Ryan 2012 ticket is now the ticket of hope. I have more hope today than I've had in a long while. ...

The sequester cuts are only 2.4% of the whole debt and most won’t take place for another month. A message for the Democrats: STOP THE SPENDING. STOP THE WASTE IN THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING; I.E., The Zombie training, the shrimp on the treadmill study and all the other stupid projects that received millions of dollars. There’s where your 2.4% cuts should be and this is what the Republicans were trying to get stopped last year. Anyone read Tom Coburn's yearly list of th ...

Here are some of my survival dietary mainstays while drawing unemployment. Maybe this will give you some ideas that you can use or tweak to your liking. It all starts with a ROTISSERIE CHICKEN from the store (or cook your own!). Fry's has just come out with a Colossal rotisserie chicken for only a few dollars more.

The financial crisis and deep recession have made the long-term fiscal outlook so much worse that many economic experts no longer believe it will be possible, politically or practically, to balance the federal budget. Instead, the best that can be hoped for is to stabilize soaring government debt relative to the size of the economy, these experts say. And even doing that could take a decade or more and require painful tax increases and spending cuts, they add. The budget deficit totaled $1.4 tr ...

14 Reasons Why The U.S. Government Will Never Have A Balanced Budget Ever Again (Editors note: Here are 14 reasons for secession. Remember that a state that secedes from the Union leaves behind every one of these 14 reasons. No more Federal debt, no more Federal income taxes, no more Social Security, no more tyranny.) The United States government will never have another balanced budget again. Yes, you read that correctly. U.S. government finances have now reached a critical “tip ...

Highlights: Instead, Murray's blueprint calls for more modest initiatives for the nation's fiscal health. They include: Fully replacing the sequester — $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts over 10 years that kicked in March 1 — with a 50/50 combination of spending cuts and new revenue. A $100 billion stimulus package directed at building the nation's deteriorating roads and bridges, repairing public schools and paying for increased broadband access in ...

instead of reading all the articles pro and con about the budget the House has come up with because we know how each side will either stretch the truth or outright lie on the subject, I went straight to the source. If you have time, you can read the whole budget, read the summary, or the questions and answers -- but, truthfully, if you want the full picture, you need to read the full plan.

going to pay for more big government business as usual. At the CNBC debate on October 28, Ted Cruz released his tax reform proposal, which I believe is the best of all the presidential candidates' plans. At Tuesday night's debate, Cruz released a spending reduction plan showing how he will pay for the tax cut involved in the tax reform plan. For the individual income tax under his tax reform, Cruz's plan provides for one flat rate of 10% on everything wages, capital gains, ...

is a disgrace. We already spend more on the military than the next 7 countries combined. They also need to learn how to budget and save. I would spend anything on those who have been in combat but when the military spends millions for redesigned uniforms and the budget cuts meals on wheels it makes me sick. And the tax cut for the 1% hasn't even come yet. ...

Sen. Tom Coburn is an MD (general practitioner) and Senator from Oklahoma . and recognized as 'the conscience' of the US Senate. He is well respected on both 'sides of the aisle' & probably one of the few senators to actually read these 'bail-out' bills. (Google him for his background.) This takes a couple of minutes. It's from his speech in the Senate regarding the 2012 budget... "We are going in exactly the wrong direction. We ought to be standing ...

Cut Medicare and privatize Social Security. That's what the republicans presented. Let's hope we don't hear any more screaming about rationing health care under Obama, because that's what the republicans want, not the dems. I am amazed that they are not just sticking to NO. Whenever they come up with a proposal, it hits the fan. Like this tired attempt to do Medicare and Social Security in. The good news is that there are a fair number of older people who are republi ...

We'll eventually get a budget put in there and you know what's going to happen? One or more of these: earthquake, volcanic erruption (Mt. St. Helens or others), tornadoes, another Katrina, drought, floods, etc. Oh, and then some terrorist will probably do something somewhere that we will have to respond to, so you can forget taking money from Defense. None of our plans matter in the whole scheme of things. However, that bail-out of Texas makes me shake with anger. ...
