MD Special Session? Gas Tax Hike? Again?

According to O’Malley. And Drudge Report picked up the story, too.

Will history repeat? Is this O’Malley’s last hurrah before he leaves the Governorship?

I’m not a betting man, but someone else may be.

Political Equivalent to Carl Sagan

Billions and billions.

Of money spent. To Brazilian oil. To Chinese wind turbines. To ACORN.

You have to stop, Barack. Your actions bely your words.

And we all know it – except you. And, apparently, your EPA cronies don’t care about us either.

America’s Energy Future

Depends on to whom you speak, or listen to.

Like – our own U.S. President Barack Obama at a town hall about clean energy while visiting Gamesa Technology Corporation in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, today – April 6, 2011.

Oh – there’s more – at GatewayPundit. Jim Hoft points out that the POTUS was extolling this future energy source by the company (Spanish owned) that received a bailout.

Oh, also, don’t miss that last link (here it is also) that points out a report that windmills aren’t really that helpful. Useless, I think they said. But if you really want something to watch, try this – where a windmill destroys itself and adjacent property.

Not to mention the fact that when such machinery is installed in (much too) northern latitudes – ice formation can be extremely deadly, or just keep them from spinning. In any case, expensive windmills won’t offer much in the wrong place, if at all.

Hear that, Maryland Governor O’Malley? General Assembly?

Who Has Most Energy Resources

It is us. And, as said in the Energy Tribune, it is all right beneath our feet.

So why is our Energy policy so draconian and forcing our energy bills higher than they need to be?

That is not a rhetorical question.

Remake Entire Global Economy

As driven/dreamed/preferred by a multi-billionaire, George Soros.

Should we be concerned?

On April 8, a group he’s funded with $50 million is holding a major economic conference and Soros’s goal for such an event is to “establish new international rules” and “reform the currency system.” It’s all according to a plan laid out in a Nov. 4, 2009, Soros op-ed calling for “a grand bargain that rearranges the entire financial order.”

Yeah. I’d say so. Pay attention.

UPDATE: MD Talking Gas Tax What About the Feds?

Currently, the overall discussion here in Maryland is what critical effects a ten cent state tax increase will do to our monthly budgets?

Here’s another question, what is on the mindss of the Feds? How about raising the federal tax another quarter?

And we thought only the state we live in – was going to change . . the state we live in.

UPDATE: I learned tonite (Tue, 3/22/11) that I got the wrong impression from the FOX 45 News I watched the other night. Tomorrow, Wednesday, the state legislature will be voting to pass/reject the stae gas tax increase. Call your representatives!

Wishful Thinking

Wow. Maybe there will be a job opening for BO soon.

I understand that the POTUS said, “it would be so much easier to be the president of China.”

Gee, does anyone think the possibility of that happening is likely? That is, given China owns a great deal of our country’s debt that, you know, was fueled these past two years by, ahem, our POTUS?

Well, we can certainly make it our job that BO gets a new job – come the end of 2012. What say? I just don’t think the line he will be standing in will be for a head of state anywhere else on the planet.

UPDATE: Speaking of Spending

I can’t, I just can’t – use a calculator anymore for these cost figures that are driven by the POTUS’ $3.73T budget released recently.

Here’s the breakdown and projections as explained (in summary) by HotAirPundit.

A recipe for disaster. Nothing else describes it.

“Live within our means”, BO? You should have had that mantra and worked it like you mean it – over two years ago.
You hypocrite.

UPDATE: By the way, BO, you remember saying this before, right? Going to halve the deficit? You know, cut the deficit by half its value? To do that required cuts, you know. So what happened to those cuts, BO?

To Spend Takes Energy

And in this case, an entire Department. As in, the Department of Energy.

Just how dumb are these cretins? Wanting to spend unrealized future “savings” on the heels of pay freezes?

They aren’t “savings” then are they? ‘Fess up now. We know the answer. Question is, do you?

Will someone PLEASE put the DOE out of our misery?

Work the future, indeed ….. wait, win? Nope. Doesn’t look like it to us math majors and minors.

How To Mess Up the Future

According to the Veep, by spending $50B + for high speed rail in economic times that put all of us and generations to come owing tons of money this administration spent and borrowed and spent to the point of (almost??) no return.

In other words – rocketing to the poorhouse.

Idiot. I hope everyone else picks up on the timing of this idiocy.

hhhmm, I wonder how much of that $50B could be used to seal the southern border …….
