The Green Police Are Already Here

In San Fransisco, at least.
Out of all the commercials played during Superbowl 44, I thought this was the most disturbing.

Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco, made it a reality a couple of years ago. The mandation of separating out their recyclables and compost material from the trash.

Stimulus Failed. AKA: How Many Times Do I Have To Say That It Wouldn’t Work?

I’m shocked, shocked that the Stimulus didn’t work out.

Middle Class Taxes Are On The Rise, Despite What Obama Promised.

UPDATE: A correction in needed for the Reuter’s link. Some of it was right. Some of it was wrong.

Elections Have Consequences

Would this be a game of Washington DC Standoff? Threatening to force the ill-named Health Care Reform through Congress regardless of the result of the special election in Massachusetts? Sen. Jim Webb blinked first soon after Scott Brown won Tuesday night.
I guess Congress can get a clue after all. It [...]

Good News!

The debt ceiling is not being raised to 1.8 trillion dollars.
Bad News. It’s being raised to 1.9 instead. A billion here, a billion there. Soon, Congress starts to talk about real money.

More Failures In Stimulus

Is there any doubt that the ill-named Stimulus was anything more than a slush fund for Congressional pet projects?
