Excesses

At home and at the G8.

Let’s see now, here at home federal revenues will top $2 trillion this year, but federal spending will approach double that amount.

Meanwhile, Sarkozy calls for Internet regulation as it is a “moral imperative” needed to “correct the excesses and abuses that arise from the total absence of rules.”

Well now, we need this communication so we can educate each other about the elite who don’t even bother with EXISTING RULES to do the jobs they are supposed to do. Instead they want to misdirect and hide what they do from all of us.

Too late, folks, you aren’t invisible any more.

Over Two Years Ago

The answer to a Jeopardy-like game show – When was the last time the U.S.Senate passed a budget?

The so-called deliberative body of Congress, (controlled by the Democrats), have cowardly made another political choice by again ignoring the will of the people—to put the Federal Government’s fiscal house in order—and to stop the deficit spending. Instead, the majority leader and Senate Budget Committee Chairman, Kent Conrad have no intention of performing their statutory responsibility:

So Senator Harry Reid says, “There’s no need to have a Democratic budget, in my opinion.”

Truly an irresponsible lunatic. For willful failure to do his job – he, and those that back him up, should be terminated immediately. And lose any right to pensions funds.

Orbitz Standing Tall

So much for (cough) Media Matters (does it really?) trying to coerce advertisers away from Fox News Channel.

Mediaite tells us what Orbitz told MM. Remember that name. They matter.

I’ll remember this when I make travel plans.

Withdraw

Not from the checking account.

From Libya, POTUS. Your 60 days were up. Yesterday.

Oh. A reminder. We got Bin Laden. We can leave Afghanistan now also.

Otherwise, you’re just spending money we don’t have to – just spend money. That we don’t have.

Conflicted

Yeah, Allahpundit hits a nerve (or more), I expect.

I think everyone should wake up and pay very close attention to the dealings up to and likely within the SCOTUS concerning any and all references/relationships of recent appointee Ms. Kagan with the Obamacare legislation.

Is her reputation at stake?

Ahem, as much as our own financial future? (Oh, forget all those waivers. Even the recent one where Nevada itself won’t have to worry about complying with Obamacare. If, that is, it isn’t terminated.)

You know, all those – waivers – are supposed to be relieving thosee that can’t afford Obamacare’s conscription.

Hmm. Anybody remember why all this started? Seems to me there was something about 47M, then 30M, people that couldn’t or wouldn’t pay for health insurance.

What are the waivers for again?

Thugs Unbounded

A summary of Wiscon’s troubles, compared to other states. And a few more tidbits.

Mark June 6 on your calendar for Wisconsin.

I agree with the last statement. The GOP better get its act together and be ready to fight as necessary.

Waivers

Get your Obamacare waivers here. And find out a lot more also.

Treasury to Tap Pensions

To fund the Government. And now, for you government employees, what are your thoughts on this?

The Obama administration will begin to tap federal retiree programs to help fund operations after the government lost its ability Monday to borrow more money from the public, adding urgency to efforts in Washington to fashion a compromise over the debt.

There’s a small graphic down the left side of the article displaying where the debt ceiling is.
Grab a barf bag and click to enlarge that graphic.

Because you are going to get sick when you see it.

Think Timmy will try to come after our private 401K’s next?
