$5 Trillion Tax Hike Coming

by Bob Adelmann | 6:08 am, April 8, 2012

This whole scenario is playing into Obama’s hands. It’s part of his training as a student of Saul Alinsky: so overwhelm the system that it breaks down. The man knows what he is doing.

The JOBS Bill: An Encouraging Sign of Intelligent Life in Washington

by Bob Adelmann | 3:50 pm, April 6, 2012

We have been so beaten down with bad news and political stupidity and fecklessness that it’s hard to find something positive to write about. This will do for a start.

By All Means Hick, Strike Away

by Jon Caldara | 1:39 pm, April 6, 2012

I read in the Post this morning that Governor Hickenlooper seems to be telegraphing his disapproval and potential veto of SB 124. SB 124 is a GOP sponsored bill that would expand Colorado’s tourism projects and allow for tax-increment financing (TIF) to fund all 6 pet projects at once. Not exactly the most free market [...]

Obama Targets Ryan Budget to Distract from Failed Policies

The progressive president revealed a lot more in his luncheon talk with the kept media than was reported elsewhere.

President Obama Pokes the Supreme Court … Again

Like the true tyrant that he is, Obama attacks any potential obstruction to his totalitarian plans for America.

Boom and Bust in Stockton, California

by Bob Adelmann | 11:15 am, April 4, 2012

This is a lesson in economics that politicians, and other more humble folk, never learn. I call it “straight line thinking in a curvilinear world.”

Budget Deadlock, Despite House Passage of Ryan Plan

by Bob Adelmann | 4:26 am, April 3, 2012

Two things are apparent: few in Washington are serious about reining in government spending, and those who are are missing the point. It’s not making the government more efficient, it’s getting government out of where it doesn’t belong that is the real issue.

Obama’s Surprise Nominee to World Bank, Jim Yong Kim

by Bob Adelmann | 8:07 am, March 30, 2012

This fellow reminds me of Jesus’ characterization of the Pharisees as “whited sepulchers” – clean on the outside but corrupt on the inside. We’ll see just how he fits in with the corrupt culture at the World Bank.

New Book, White House Burning, Reprises Old Keynesian Canards

by Bob Adelmann | 5:04 pm, March 29, 2012

This is a classic defense of the indefensible, albeit in a most agreeable way. The soothing tones of the writers invite one to accept the lie: we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Or worse: we’re the experts, we know what we’re doing, trust us (and leave us alone).

Speech: Bernanke Fails at Transparency, Rails at Gold Standard

by Bob Adelmann | 1:00 am, March 28, 2012

It’s clear what’s happening here. This is an admission that the Fed is under withering continuing attack and this is a feeble attempt to respond. The slide show is laughable.
