I’ve read that US companies (banks among them) are hoarding cash to the tune of 1.8 to 2.5 trillion dollars. The percentage of cash as it relates to a firm’s total assets is rising and the velocity of money (the number of times, for example, the same dollar changes hands) is also declining. (Note: Much [...]
And so today, the great minds of the Senate and House from both parties will come together with His Holiness to present their sides in the great health care reform debate. Call it the Blair House Project. I’ve got to say that after the election of Senator Scott Brown and President Obama’s statements that “He [...]
“Cannibalism is the highest form of patriotism” – Nancy Pelosi Share on Facebook
So..we’re in the middle of our fantasy draft on an Eagles message board I belong to, when my brother Paul slapped this question in the middle of the Keeper thread: “hey brother joe. i pay $500,000 a year to cover health insurance for my employees….a figure that has grown 20% every year since 1999. tell [...]
Thus, our post-partisan president on January 23, 2009. He was responding to Republican concerns about the cost of the “stimulus” bill. Ironic, isn’t it? If he had listened to those concerns, he may have been able to sign the health care reform bill of his dreams the first week of August. Share on Facebook
– A president with a messiah complex and one who (at least when he started out) had the popularity to boot. – An overwhelming majority in the House. – A filibuster proof majority in the Senate. To sum up, firm control of all the levers of government. Now, how is it that Republicans are to [...]
Richard Cohen had stiff competition this week. He was up against fellow columnist and serial dumbass Eugene Robinson. If I ever establish an Idiot’s Hall of Fame, Eugene will certainly be a member of the inaugural class of inductees. In a column in today’s Washington Post, Cohen indulges in the oft repeated liberal hypocrisy of [...]
….how the Democrats react to “un-American” protestors who are paid conservative activists not in touch with the values of mainstream America. End of life counseling is being dropped from health care “reform” legislation. Now the “public option” is in play, with the Obama Administration stating that its not an essential element of reform. About two [...]
Thus Arlen Specter, at a town hall meeting in Lebanon, PA. Senator Specter drank the kool aid and switched party allegiance as hope dawned in America. Kind of ironic that our first post partisan, post racial president has done more in the last month to stir up anger and division (both racial and political) in [...]
Really, the only sentence you need to read in the aptly named Charles Blow’s column is the one in which he calls those who are against Obamacare “anti-reformists”. Blow and his fellow travelers, such as Eugene Robinson and Eleanor Clift, don’t realize that what most people in this country are now against is turning on [...]
