Taxing Americans by the Mile?
Continuing to demonstrate their complete disconnect from main-street America, President Obama administration officials introduced an “undated draft” of a Transportation Opportunities Act that would tax American citizens based on how many miles they drive. What!? Maybe President Obama should turn his attention to our domestic oil-drilling policies, or maybe our impending $13 TRILLION federal debt [...]
Obama Violates His Own Opinion
In 2007, then-Senator Obama had some strong critical language for President Bush’s use of the U.S. military. In brief, according to the senator, “The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” In [...]
One-third of All Income is Government Aid – WHAT?!
A very disturbing report this week reveals that one-third of all “income” received in America is money received from a government agency. What!? Whether via MediCare, MedicAid, welfare, unemployment insurance, etc… one in three of all income-dollars is spawned from a government fund, whether or not there is actually tax revenue to cover the outflow. [...]
WH Handing Out ObamaCare Waivers – WHAT?!
Now, over 1000 employers have requested, and HAVE BEEN GRANTED waivers on ObamaCare from the White House. These waivers allows these select chosen few business owners to deflect, defray, or simply ignore the more onerous portions of the bill. What!? President Obama’s signature legislative victory continues to show its ugly underbelly. As the months roll [...]
President Obama’s Budget Does Nothing to Address Deficit
President Barack Obama spearheaded the expansion of the U.S. federal budget by $700 billion in his first two years. Now, in his third year, he seems to think highly of his ability to reduce it by $100 billion. The president’s proposed budget does nothing “to pay down debt or ever come close to balancing it,” says Senator Jeff Sessions, [...]
What Part of “Private” Doesn’t He Understand?
In his address to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Washington, DC today, President Barack Obama bluntly insisted that profits earned by private companies “have to be shared by American workers.” Someone should remind the President of the United States that 401Ks, employer-based insurance premiums, and myriad other company-sponsored perks already ARE examples of private [...]
Can’t Have It Both Ways, Mr. President
In his State of the Union Address last week, President Barack Obama described two disconnected, mutually-exclusive policy agendas: 1) Within 25 years, he hopes to give 80 percent of Americans access to high-speed rail. 2) In the aftermath of national economic recession, we have to confront the fact that our government spends more than it [...]
Time to Wake Up from the Dreams
President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address failed to address the state of the national debt, which now stands at a mind-blowing $14 trillion. Yet his language about living up to the dreams of our children is flowery indeed. Each American child born today enters the world burdened by over $40,000 in federal debt. [...]
President Obama Promotes Health Care Propaganda with Taxpayer Dollars
The conservative Weekly Standard noted that President Barack Obama authorized Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius to use taxpayer dollars to purchase Google advertisements that lionize President Obama’s controversial and landmark health care initiative. When one searches Google for “ObamaCare”, the government has made sure that the first website listed is the newly-formed, [...]
President Obama Reverses Campaign Stance of Unconditional Diplomacy
The NY Times has reported the United States has balked at China’s request for emergency talks with North Korea over the recent crisis on the Korean Peninsula. Despite the President’s pledge to hold diplomatic talks with U.S. adversaries without preconditions, the report indicated that Obama administration officials said a return to the table with North [...]
