When an irresistable force meets an immovable object, it’s called gridlock.

Taxmageddon Only Part of the Problem

by Bob Adelmann | 10:44 am, November 4, 2012

Considering the precarious position the country is in, it’s amazing that Congress looks like it’s going to do everything it can to put off into the future – punt, kick the can, whatever you choose – to avoid making any hard decisions today. I agree with Mark Twain.

The Inevitable Tax Increase No One Is Talking About

by Bob Adelmann | 3:41 pm, October 27, 2012

There’s zero likelihood that this tax increase will be stopped. No one wants to talk about it. It has been avoided in the debates like the plague. No politician who I know of has mentioned it. It has public support from those who are dependent on it. Resistance is futile. It’s the Social Security payroll tax [...]

Romney Exposes Himself (Politically, That Is)

by Bob Adelmann | 6:10 pm, October 26, 2012

The Budget Battle: Entitlements Staying, Taxes Going Up

by Bob Adelmann | 12:31 am, April 12, 2012

The game is rigged. If you can control the conversation, then the results can be predicted. Statist A (Obama) is debating with Statist B (Paul Ryan—sorry!) about just how much we want government to grow. Yup, that’s the question. No shrinking, no cutting, no limiting, no eliminating.
