Readers of this blog know that I have a high-level of disdain for the neo-Keynesians who have unleashed a wave of global, government-fed, fiat currency debt across the globe. I believe that 2012 will be a year in which we will really have an opportunity to see whether my disdain is well placed or that [...]

How the Obama Administration Really Treats Veterans
Posted in President Obama on December 28, 2011 | 9 Comments »
It seems that all of the President’s talk on taking care of our veterans is just like anything else he has said since being elected. A bunch of crap from the teleprompter to sound good in front of the cameras but means nothing. As always with this guy, ignore anything that he says and look [...]
Bluewater Deadline Today!

Aaron Nathans reported that the flack from Bluewater was still holding out some faint hope in the NJ that a buyer might surface at the last moment today: “NRG continues its discussions with potential buyers and investors,” Gaier said Wednesday, the last update the company provided. Aaron also wrote that: Alan Levin, economic development director for [...]
How Was the Payroll Tax Vote Accomplished Without a Quorum?
Posted in Uncategorized on December 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It seems that technically there was a quorum even though there are hardly any Congressman or Senators in town. It seems that a quorum is assumed unless someone objects from the floor and questions the existence of a quorum and they didn’t. It does not seem that it would matter if there were really only [...]

There has been some concern over congress failing to pass the “Doctor Fix” before leaving for Christmas. What is the “Doctor Fix?” The way I recall this being explained is that congress passed a law to stem the growth of Medicare spending around 2005 plus or minus. At least one part of the plan was [...]
You Need 51% To Win Elections
Posted in Delaware, Democrats, Economy, Tea Party on December 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »
1% versus 99%. That has been the media’s attempt to gin up support for the Occupy movement. As I’ve stated before, I share many of the concerns of the “Occupiers”, I just think that you should be presenting solutions and not just whining. However, from Gallup comes bad news for Democratic candidates who think that [...]
Senators Question Plan to Stall Generic Lipitor
Posted in Uncategorized on December 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
There was a chance that Medicare was going to save some money by going to the generic of Lipitor this week, but happily Pfizer was able to “protect our seniors” by getting Medicare to agree to continue paying for brand name Lipitor after the cheaper generic becomes available. More like the administration protecting Pfizer…. It [...]
Senator DeLuca and Lieutenant Governor Denn

Delaware Liberal has a decent overview of the issue regarding Delaware Senate Pro-Tem Tony DeLuca and whether or not the good Senator is holding office illegally. The issue isn’t new, but DL does a nice job laying out the overall points. The post can be found here. In that post, the following is written: The [...]
Those Darn Bush Tax Cuts — I Wish Republicans Would Quit Helping The Poor
Posted in Democrats, GOP, Government Waste, Taxes, Tea Party on December 14, 2011 | 1 Comment »
The CBO was asked to, adjusting for tax breaks, loopholes, etc, determine the average effective tax rate for each quintile of individual income. For those of you who did not do well in 7th grade math, a quintile is 20% of the population ranked from the lowest income 20% to the highest income 20%. Simply [...]
