Democrats Trick Americans With Payroll Tax Cut Extension Ruse
16 Dec 2011 1:56 pm Rachel Alexander

The Democrats are accusing Republicans in Congress of opposing the extension of payroll tax cuts. On the face of it, something seems wrong. Republicans are usually in favor of tax cuts and Democrats generally oppose them, except when there is a Democratic special interest involved like environmental causes. Democrats using the payroll tax cut extension negotiations to portray themselves to the American people as the party that cares about leaving more in hardworking Americans’ pockets. White House press secretary Jay Carney recently declared at a press conference, “What happened to …

Is The RNC Relevant?
8 Dec 2011 4:27 pm Michael Fell

The current White House occupant spewed so many lies during his taxpayer funded December 6th campaign stop in Osawatomie Kansas that I had to turn his speech off before screaming objections to his rubbish filled remarks destroyed my vocal cords.
When speaking of Conservative economic policy…and I quote: “But here’s the problem: It doesn’t work. It has never worked. It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression.”
Really?
Then why were they called the roaring twenties? Facts are, detailed IRS data shows that the Mellon tax cuts resulted in greater tax payments and a larger tax …

A Fair Shake
6 Dec 2011 4:16 pm Michael Fell

Once again, the current White House occupant is spending your money to fly in Air Force One to a campaign stop. The location of his many stops varies, but his message doesn’t. He continues to cry out for everyone in America to get a fair shake. According to America’s emperor wannabe, the rich are preventing the middle class from getting a fair shake because the rich are somehow depriving the middle class because they don’t pay enough taxes. Last time I checked, which was about five minutes ago, the top …

Verdict for America: Solutions for our Most Pressing Problems
5 Dec 2011 4:57 pm Rachel Alexander

Bill Ponath, an attorney and long-time pro tem judge, has written the definitive up-to-date and eye-opening book on the most critical issues facing the U.S. Written so anyone will understand, but not so basic as to bore the experienced politico, he analyzes eight issues thoroughly and recommends insightful common sense solutions.
At one point the U.S. had its act together. Bill lays out the mistakes we made and the only rational solutions to overcome our errors. For example: In Russia, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia their economies tanked based upon their socialist/communist …

“progressives” Revise History…Again
28 Nov 2011 8:50 pm Michael Fell

Thanks to the energy of the Tea Party, the 2010 midterm elections established a mandate for reducing the size and scope of government by way of spending cuts. Evidence of this mandate is readily found in the record number of anti big government Republicans who replaced “progressive” Democrats in the House of Representatives. It’s also important to note that newly elected proponents for smaller government ended a filibuster proof majority held by “progressive” Democrats in the Senate.
Over the past twelve months, forked tongued, two faced pathological liars in the White …

Return To Free Market Principles
23 Nov 2011 4:48 pm Michael Fell

If we’re to form conclusions based on the behavior of our elected officials, the United States government being over $15 trillion in debt is a minor concern.
It looks like figuring out how to cut spending is simply too adult a puzzle for ”progressives” in the Senate and the White House. What else can the average American conclude from the recent actions of these overpaid, irresponsible feeders from the public trough? How on God’s green earth can hard working people, many struggling just to make ends meet, expect these elected officials …

The “Super Committee” Shows What’s Wrong With America’s Government
18 Nov 2011 5:47 pm Michael Fell

Per The Hill online: Friday, November 18, 2011
“In a closed-door briefing Tuesday, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), the Republican co-chairman of the panel, said divisions among Democrats are standing in the way of an agreement. He told his colleagues the GOP had put multiple offers on the table that Democrats had yet to accept.
Boehner told reporters that the GOP offer was ‘fair,’ referring to a $1.2 trillion proposal by supercommittee member Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) that included $300 billion in new tax revenue.”

Why-Not Ron Paul
15 Nov 2011 7:11 pm Michael Fell

Greetings from Los Angeles County. That’s Los Angeles CA, the State who’s Repubican Party gave the world President Ronald Reagan.
President Reagan was a great leader who built a winning coalition on fiscal responsibility, traditional American moral values and peace through strength. President Reagan’s policies created years of robust economic growth in America while leading to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the removal of the Berlin Wall.
The only point of agreement between Reagan’s winning Republican coalition and Ron Paul is fiscal responsibility. Ron Paul and his supporters should get honest with themselves …

An Open Letter To “progressive” Politicians
9 Nov 2011 5:00 pm Michael Fell

Families in America must live within their means, and it’s time for the United States federal government to do the same. Don’t tell me it can’t be done. Since I lost my last full time job back in 2008, I’ve been able to make ends meet with less than half my previous income while simultaneously reducing my personal debt.
As one of your constituents, I’m calling on you to advocate for spending cuts, not tax hikes, to balance the federal budget. Since 2009, federal spending has increased from 20% to 25% …

Occupy Wall Street College Grads Should Sue Their Schools
14 Oct 2011 6:06 pm Michael Fell

What’s most puzzling about Occupy Wall Street is a persistent resistance by recent college graduates to acknowledging the cause and effect phenomenon manifested by big government interference in business.

When you employ the economic policies of Woodrow Wilson, FDR and Jimmy Carter you’re going to get a lousy economy because you’ve created a climate that’s unfriendly to business. To blame corporations and especially small business for not hiring when the business climate dictates they take steps to insure their survival is wrong.
If you’re the CEO of a corporation who’s responsible for ensuring …

Blame Corporations?
12 Oct 2011 5:29 pm Michael Fell

Would you hire people purely out of national loyalty knowing that doing so meant your company would eventually become fiscally insolvent?
Corporations, like any business, are in business to make profits. Jobs are the byproduct of profits, not the other way around. Until U.S. corporate tax rates are cut to globally competetive levels, the corporations will outsource jobs overseas in order to make profits for their investors. Unless capital gains taxes are reduced to globally competetive levels, private capital is disincentivized to invest in America. Until Dodd Frank is repealed, small …

Live Tweeting Obama’s Jobs Speech: More Big Government Boondoggles
8 Sep 2011 9:31 pm Warner Todd Huston

As I often do, I live Tweeted Obama’s address to the joint session of congress, but for sure this speech was little else but yet another plea from Obama for giant piles of government money to be thrown around in a bacchanalia of Keynesian spending. He may not have used the newly verboten word “stimulus,” but that is really all he was offering; another giant stimulus program.
His “jobs” program was nothing but a sop to government unions. Worse his claim that it is “aid for” by attacking the eeeevil rich …

That Old Recipe for Success
5 Sep 2011 12:32 pm Warner Todd Huston

I wrote this for our monthly newsletter for HHH Consulting, thought I’d share it with everyone…
People have made millions on self-help books telling people how to take their first steps down that road to success. Whole aisles in the bookstores are stuffed with the things. 101 Ways to Succeed, if only one! But, really, what is a recipe for success? The truth is, the real recipe for success has never changed since the first human began to think farther than just his own immediate needs.
We here at HHH strive to …

Government Destroying Free Markets With Public-Private Partnerships
30 Aug 2011 12:01 pm Rachel Alexander

We are hearing more and more lately about Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as the ideal way to administer the areas of healthcare, transportation, public buildings, water and the environment. President Obama and other politicians are proudly announcing the launch of new partnerships with the private sector. What are PPPs? They are contracts between government and private entities where both share in providing a good or service to the public, while divvying up assets, risks and profits. The average American city now employs PPPs in 23 out of 65 municipal services. In some countries, …

Obama Blames Job Loss on Technology, Internet and Efficiency
18 Aug 2011 12:25 pm Warner Todd Huston

During his Midwest Misery Tour, President Obama was back to blaming technology, the Internet, and ATMs again for America’s job loss.
At a stop in Atkinson, Illinois Obama spoke about the need for education at an agricultural company named Wyffels Hybrids, Inc. He said that America is no longer a place where you can just “work hard” and find a good job doing so. Those days are gone he told his audience.
Obama lamented that bank tellers and travel agents have been replaced by automation. This is, apparently, why we have …

CNN/Krugman: A Space Alien Attack Will Save Us (Disses FDR, Wants a Fake War?)
15 Aug 2011 2:53 pm Warner Todd Huston

CNNs Fareed Zakaria and The New York Times’ Paul Krugman have solved our economic problems. They’ve decided that a space alien attack will save us. Aside from the guffaw factor of space aliens, there was so much wrong with this CNN segment that we must lay them out for discussion.
First on the clip is some pinhead from Harvard claiming that “infrastructure spending, that’s great.” He says he’d even borrow money for such programs. This guy thinks that if we had another giant stimulus (like a WWII Works program), why …

Unions: On the Outside Looking In At Political Power?
5 Aug 2011 12:23 pm Warner Todd Huston

Since Obama began his run for the White House he has been Big Labor’s best friend. And they loved him for it, too. As Obama ran and as soon as he got into office the unions had stars in their eyes. They thought that with a bought and paid for president in their hip pocket, every long dreamed of union wish was about to be fulfilled.
You can’t really blame them, of course. Obama did nothing but work to let them believe he’d do everything they wanted once safely in the …

The Union Job Security Act Equals Endless Road Construction
1 Aug 2011 2:35 pm Rachel Alexander

Have you noticed how there is more road construction than usual lately, which never seems to end? In some states it has gotten so bad their departments of transportation have set up road closure email alerts on each highway. This is a direct result of President Obama’s stimulus spending. Last summer, Obama proposed spending $50 billion on highways, bridges, transit, high-speed rail and airports. During his State of the Union speech in January, he declared, “we will aim to put more Americans to work repairing crumbling roads and bridges.”
The federal …

Even Politico Wonders Where All Obama’s “Green” Jobs Are
13 Jun 2011 7:23 am William Teach

It’s great that ThePolitico’s Darren Samualsohn is asking questions about Obama’s green jobs agenda, but, he forgot to ask a few others, such as “how many jobs did the green agenda cost?” We learned from Spain that for ever one created, two private sector jobs are lost. Also, how much do the ones actually created cost? And, for those jobs, how much revenue do they create? Anyhow Green jobs success eludes President Obama
President Barack Obama heads to an energy plant in North Carolina on Monday to talk once again about …
