Deficit Spending: A Roadtrip to Nowhere

From the same folks that brought you the visual folly of Mr. Obamas so called "budget cuts", here is a graphical representation of where our president is taking us: A Roadtrip to Nowhere. The most disturbing thing is that were heading Nowhere faster than ever before.  An important point to take away from this video is that spending is lowest when an opposition congress is in power - this means that we have get out the vote for our Republican reps in 2010!

Texas GOP Call to Action: A Date with Destiny

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.

Stimulus Package = Fiscal Flop

 

Since February 17th, 2009, the day the president signed the Stimulus Bill into law, we have seen:

  • 1,597,000 jobs lost and unemployment numbers at their highest levels in two decades.
  • The president spend billions of your tax dollars.
  • Our nation accrue $511.9 billion in new debt.
  • OMB and CBO revise the FY2009 Deficit projection to $1.84 trillion.
  • The president propose over $600 billion in new taxes – the largest tax increase in American history.

I hand these cards out that itemize the "Nation's Major Fiscal Exposures" to anyone that visits my D.C. or district office.

Is it better to be President Obama's "friend" or something else?

With whom has Obama taken a harder line?  With whom has Obama been tougher?  Whom does Obama worry more about insulting?

We could probably debate all these questions with arguments pro and con.  Think about that.  Should that be the case?

I suppose the President might say that all of these nations are entitled to equal treatment, equal consideration, and equal deference.   Read more about With friends like these . . .
