Santa Boehner arrived early at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue assisted by the legion of Republican elves who voted in favor of the “compromise” on the debt limit bill. Merriam-Webster defines compromise as “settlement of differences by arbitration or by consent reached by mutual concessions.” Would someone please enlighten me as to what Obama and the Debtocrats conceded?…
The Republican leadership in Washington has once again sold out to the progressive liberal establishment. The deal negotiated with President Obama is a VERY BAD debt limit deal. The US voters spoke loud and clear in November 2010 and sent to Washington the message that the unrestrained government growth and spending must cease. The…
The White House and the Debtocrats willfully mislead the American people when they constantly equate reaching the federal debt ceiling with default. This is pure, unadulterated fear mongering and it is simply not true. The debt limit simply restricts the amount of debt that the U.S. Treasury may issue.

Reading…
Last evening Brian Williams of the Nightly News with Brian Williams said that “reasonable people” believe that the debt ceiling must be raised. Either he is wrong or I am unreasonable. Raising the debt ceiling is neither reasonable nor necessary to avoid default of the US Government. Our government is addicted to spending much like an…
Obama is back on the stump and he wants back in the game.. Not wanting to waste the debt ceiling crisis, he used the East Room of the White House last evening to campaign for re-election. He used the bully pulpit again to dredge up the blame Bush excuse for the current crisis. That dog…
Washington Wasn’t Listening……They Didn’t Even Ask
Fueled by the Obama Administration’s lies and scare tactics, the Republican controlled House of Representatives passed the Budget Control Act of 2011 in less than 24 hours after the agreement was announced. The rush to judgment was necessary because the lawmakers knew that the American people opposed this “compromise.” The lawmakers and their constituents had less…
