Credit Card Reform

Now we will have the honor of being required to charge a minimum amount (determined by the store/merchant) of at least $10 before being allowed to use your credit card to purchase anything.

Who to thank for this? Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL).

Know what this means, don’t you? The government, in all its glorified stupidity, is now passing on to us the ability to spend more than we intend.

So much for watching out for the people, eh, Democrats?

Remember November, folks. It’s time to make History.

Iceberg Looms Overhead

Possible $3 trillion pension disaster.

And the businesses along with the unions are going to meet and “discuss” this.

Insanity

Expecting different results when repeating the same thing.

Our POTUS is a spendaholic. Another $50 Billion to fix roads.

The first stimulus was already supposed to do that.

How’s that saying again? Fool me once? Well it didn’t even do that much.

UPDATE: Sick. Just Plain Sick.

I almost wish this hadn’t happened so no one would have had to know about this.

One thing. Names. Remember. Just don’t open the freezer.

UPDATE: It isn’t just in Maryland. And what’s more, this happened about 3 weeks ago. The injured woman was brought, by the doctor, to Elkton in his own vehicle.

Manufacturing Lies

See? We haven’t exported this manufacturing job yet. Made in U.S.A.

Cynthia Tucker and Chris Matthews are soooo good at it, too.

Cretins.

Another New Tidbit Found in Healthcare Bill

As delivered by the First Lady.

Prescriptions for Fat kids? Won’t be Xenical, will it? Get ready for lots of loads of wash to do.

Where’s the “do no harm” in this one?

Of all the @&$^##&R$ and @)$UY#*R.

Argh!

UPDATE: Have We Over-Reacted to 911?

According to Fareed Zakaria of Newsweek, we have indeed.

After reading his article, I would have to say that I agree. Read it, a lot of good information there that we never got from anywhere else.

UPDATE: Apparently, Ted Koppel doesn’t get it. Being American, that is.

Backfired

And you’ll never guess who.

A racist heir apparent. Ain’t that some shame.

Part of Economics 101

One example on how to LOSE, NOT MAKE, money.

From our Treasury for God’s sake.
