She is a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Her primary research interests include the federal budget, homeland security, taxation, tax competition, and financial privacy issues.

Interest doubles, entitlements and health rises 50%, defense decreases a little, as does the rest of government spending.

Now, tell me,where do we focus on fixing this problem? As if I didn’t already know.

FDA Bans Asthma Medication

Posted on July 24, 2011 | 2 comments

Why?

The only over-the-counter asthma inhaler sold in the United States will no longer be available next year as part of an international agreement to stop the use of substances that damage the environment.

Primatene Mist (epinephrine) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the temporary relief of occasional symptoms of mild asthma. FDA urges those who use Primatene Mist to see a health care professional soon to switch to another asthma medicine.

Primatene Mist inhalers are being discontinued because they use chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as a propellant (spray) to move the medicine out of the inhaler so patients can breathe the medicine into their lungs.

From the Big Government article:
CFCs from inhalers were a trivial contributor and should have been permanently exempted from these regimes until something just as good and just as affordable came along. They weren’t, and it hasn’t.

Federally Unreserved

Posted on July 23, 2011 | Leave a comment

$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.

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

Posted on July 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

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.)

Candidate for Baltimore Mayor Proposes New Tax

Posted on July 19, 2011 | Leave a comment

Otis Rolley said he would, if elected, propose a $1 per bullet tax on all bullet purchases in the city. The idea was part of an overall crime plan he unveiled Tuesday.

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

Oh yeah. Totally dumb.
