Yesterday I wrote of the consequences we face if the debt-ceiling is raised and if President Obama chooses to default. The reality is even worse. The compromise being sought by establishment Republicans, The Senate, and the president will ultimately lead to both higher inflation AND higher interest rates. A crushing double whammy on the US economy. The “limited magnitude” […]
With all the debate and rancor over the debt ceiling reality has been shoved down Alice’s rabbit hole. President Obama now talks of indirect taxes in reference to the effect higher interest rates will have on America. In fact, the reality is, higher interest rates only effects borrowers. The de-valuation of the dollar affects all […]
Today on the Senate floor, Marco Rubio gave an incredible speech on the raising the debt ceiling debacle. He also did a rare thing — yield some of his time so John Kerry could interject some comments and questions to Rubio during his speech. I think you’ll like Rubio’s responses to Kerry’s questions. It’s good […]

Dividing the Federal government into three separate branches with checks and balances on each other, and limiting their authority to those powers specifically enumerated within The Constitution was pure brilliance. The bi-cameral congress was an act of providence. I bring this up […]
Well, now that the GOP House has screwed the pooch and passed the Boehner debt ceiling increase bill, it’s worth reading Andy McCarthy’s Against the Boehner Plan to see what we got. To Thomas Sowell, the Boehner plan seems commendable because it would not only “spare the country a major economic disruption” but also “spare […]

This lastest news comes from NASA, New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism: NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the […]
Check out Jonah Goldberg’s observations on Obama’s Towering Inferno, aka the debt ceiling “debate”. Imagine you’re in a burning office building. Obama’s plan for getting out alive: “Okay, you guys break up into different groups and come up with a series of proposals about how we get out of the building. I will then negotiate […]

The Commerce Clause is an enumerated power granting the United States Congress the power “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes”. The Tenth Amendment states the Constitution’s principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by […]
This wonderful Michael Ramirez cartoon fits nicely with this small excerpt from Francisco’s Money Speech in Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”: “Do you wish to know whether that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when […]
Was Obama off the prompter at his speech this morning? He let slip his belief and affection for Karl Marx’s classic quote: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”: The American Thinker blog has the story: Video of Obama’s Marxist moment. * * * UPDATE: Fred Thompson weighs in on […]
