Need More Like Him

Why one GOP freshman exited the House whip team

“He’s been pretty clear and pretty adamant that nobody can buy his vote, so he was a little frustrated with the way leadership asked him to vote on certain occasions,” the source said. “So, he decided it would be best for him to step out and leave the whip team because he couldn’t align with them in certain areas. In no way, shape or form did leadership kick him out, but they made it a pretty inhospitable environment for him to actually vote his conscience and not buy his vote on the whip team. He still supports top leadership.”

Ah, but what else I glean from this is – the “whip club” is telling who just how exactly to vote.

So. Are there more like him at the Renegades-R-Us store?

Federally Unreserved

$16 Trillion loaned since 2007 to just one year ago. Three years to hand out $16 Trillion.

“The long-awaited GAO audit shows that the Federal Reserve loaned more than the worth of the annual US economy, and not just to American banks, although US institutions got the lion’s share.”

Can we clean out the Senate now? Please?

Remember in November 2012. Although it would be much better if we could do it sooner.

Read the whole article at Hot Air. I’m just too disgusted to say anymore about this here at the moment.

Of course. realize this is as a result of a recent GAO report.

This isn’t fantasy. This is corruption at the highest, unnacountable level.

Grounded

To paraphrase the FAA, this is no way to run a railroad.

About 4,000 FAA employees are now furloughed without pay, according to the FAA, as the Senate on Friday failed to approve a controversial House-passed extension of taxes that help fund the FAA.

Way to go, Senate. Guess you had much more important things on your mind.

The Real Deficit Deadline Ides of August

As explained by Don Surber, it would appear the POTUS has given up his throne to, gak, Harry Reid.

But the kicker is the explanation from Zero Hedge. This explanation tells us when we will actually be out of money. Or, rather – “… the money generating machinery won’t be in place on time.”

Yeah. Let’s be sure to watch this Chess game, or is it checkers? (King Me! Said Harry.)

UPDATE: Cut the Crap and Balance

That’s it. Just do it.

UPDATE: Looks like I’m one in the 66%.

Unexpectedly

Didn’t work, Contessa, now did it?

Never ask a question if you don’t already know the answer.

Do you think this will send the criminals to surrounding territories beyond city limits?

Oh yeah. Totally dumb.

Reaganomics versus Obamanomics

In their own words.
