In the Government Accounting Office’s October “Report to Congressional Committees” on TARP, it is apparent that TARP’s success.. isn’t that apparent. The report recommends filling important positions with permanent staff instead of the consultants currently manning them, but what really stands out is when the GAO attempts to quantify the success of the program. The [...]
On Friday, Rick Santorum threw his support behind Doug Hoffman in the controversial N.Y. District 23 House race. In a recent Conservative Daily News article, it was noted that the GOP is backing a very liberal candidate in this race. As of Friday, many top republicans have parted ways with GOP leadership and supported Hoffman [...]
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has realized that a robust public option isn’t going to pass, mainly because he can’t even get liberals to agree that it’s a good thing. So now he’s working to find out if a public plan that allows States to opt-out is passable. The answer – no! Moderate Democrats feel [...]
Many Conservatives (yes, I always capitalize it – correctness not my forte) , feel that the Republican party has been slipping into irrelevance. In-fact 73% of us are screaming at the top of our longs (that being equal to the most-recent Rasmussen opinion poll), that we are not happy with the G.O.P. leadership – at [...]
In a recent Rasmussen opinion poll, Conservatives have sent a strong message to the failing leadership of the Republican party. The results of the poll indicate that, “73% think Republicans in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters”. Consider me in that group. I have become increasingly disappointed by the members of the political party [...]
Last year the economy crashed. Now, the stimulus has stimulated, the Federal Reserve has eased, Geihtner has.. well done whatever he does, and Obama has spoken (certainly that should have fixed everything). So how did we hit 9.8% unemployment since the stimulus was an emergency action that would keep unemployment from going over 8%, pumping massive amounts of liquidity into the economy should have loosened credit, little Timmy G. and Obama bought GM, AIG and Chrysler and they helped everyone buy a new car that wanted one? It must be that G.W. Bush must still be affecting the economy from his ranch in Texas…
President Obama has renewed his argument that we have to pass this legislation or his plan (whatever that is) because inaction is not an option. While most people agree that inaction is not an option, why is voting for the progressive’s tax-and-spend fiasco the only alternative to doing nothing? The conservatives in the House of [...]
The last week has produced a euphoria in the market-place. The DOW has crossed (and again fallen below) this psychological barrier in the stock market. Many point at the crossing as a sign that the market is recovering. The DOW industrial index has gone from under 7,000 to 10,000 in the past several months and [...]
I do not associate myself with a political party, because none of them represent my views. The Republicans are just as corrupt, mindless and manipulative as the Democrats. But what about you… the readers? Could America ever elect a true conservative. A true conservative would look to eliminate Social Security (over time of course), eliminate [...]
The Wall Street Journal published an article by Eleanor Laise that highlights an increasing practice by employers. Taking more-and-more control of employee’s retirement accounts. “The greater employer control is a philosophical shift in 401(k)s and other defined-contribution plans, which held $3.5 trillion at the end of last year. The new, more-paternalistic approach, with employers making [...]
