August 29, 2008 It was the end of a week-long Democratic Convention. Obama’s poll figures, as expected, continued inching their way upward.  The climax of the convention of course was Thursday night when Obama stood beside the Greek pillars in an open stadium and captivated tens of millions of viewers watching with bated breaths as he promised to solve all their issues and all the problems plaguing this world. By Friday…

J.E. Dyer: Palin knocks it out of the park Posted on August 09 2011 – 9:51 AM – Posted by: Stacy Drake Regarding Governor Palin’s recent statement on the state of the nation’s fiscal house: Few people in the public eye have said anything useful about the recent unpleasantness with the national debt and the national credit rating.  The president hasn’t.  The vice president hasn’t.  Surprisingly few of the declared…

Sarah Palin’s Fiscal Conservatism: Raising Revenues While Reforming Spending Posted on August 09 2011 – 1:00 PM – Posted by: Rose F. Lawrence Curiously enough, Joshua Green of The Atlantic seems to find something “cultic” about our interest in exploring the facts about Sarah Palin’s record and accomplishments as Governor. One would think that a fellow journalist might be more interested in analyzing the data and getting the facts straight than…

In the coming days we’ll sort through the repercussions of SP’s downgrade of our credit rating, including concerns about the impact a potential interest rate increase would have on our ability to service our suffocating $14.5 trillion debt. I’m surprised that so many people seem surprised by SP’s decision. Weren’t people paying attention over the last year or so when we were getting warning after warning from various credit rating…

Guest Submission by Bill Garvin So much has gone wrong over the last week, it’s hard to know where to begin. For starters, there’s Timothy Geithner emphatically proclaiming there was “zero chance” of a U.S. credit downgrade. He was wrong as wrong can be. Not only did Standard and Poor’s downgrade the credit, they indicated there may be more to come. Other credit rating agencies have also hinted as to…

Guest Submission by Gene Brown Consider the government agency or department that you think is the most useless, is the most overbearing, and is the one you would most like to get rid of. Now that you are irritated, understand that not only will that agency be around next year, but it will get a 7.5% increase in funding, and 7.5% more the year after that, and every succeeding year….

It’s the Spending   On Friday evening, Standard Poor’s (SP) downgraded the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+. As we and other conservatives warned, the spending reductions in the deal negotiated by President Obama to raise the debt ceiling were inadequate, and SP reacted as we predicted but sooner. Neither Moody’s nor Fitch, two other rating agencies, have downgraded federal debt yet, but they are not providing much rosier outlooks.  Decades…

Congress Must Step In Phil KerpenBy Phil Kerpen Vice President, Policy, Americans for Prosperity National Journal, August 8, 2011 Congress needs to step in and stop the EPA, which is an out-of-control rogue agency. It is a gross perversion of our system of government for an agency to use 40-year-old laws – passed when almost none of the current Congress was in office – for broad self-created new authority that…
