Hours after the monthly jobs report was published President Obama was gloating before the cameras.  Unemployment had declined from 8.7% in November to 8.5% in December.  The media herd was gleefully stampeding to a revised narrative:  The economy has improved, boosting the reelection prospects of Barack Obama, the man with no credentials or relevant experience [...]

There is no bottom to President Obama’s political deception and class warfare pit. If you followed this week’s drama in Washington you know the House passed a bill that would extend the temporary payroll tax reduction for another year.  The Senate responded with a bill that would extend it for only two months.  Republicans finally [...]

Mr. President, If “revenues” are the problem, How can your Government gobble up a 21% increase in income tax revenue and still run an even larger deficit? President Obama and the Democrats insist that the government’s continuous, yawning deficits can not be closed by spending cuts alone, that “revenue!” must be part of a so-called [...]

President Obama introduced his plan to “pay for” his so-called “American Jobs Act” with a classic political straddle: Nobody wants to punish success in America…this is the land of opportunity. That’s great. All I’m saying is that those who have done well, including me, should pay our fair share in taxes to contribute to the [...]

Can you spare a few bucks to help disadvantaged millionaires pay higher taxes? Recently, in coordination with President Obama’s renewed calls for a tax hike, the political-media establishment revived one it’s more absurd scams, “millionaires” complaining that the tax system doesn’t take enough of their income.  It’s absurd because a millionaire, indeed any taxpayer, is [...]

President Obama and the Democrats keep trying to shift the blame for seemingly endless economic misery from themselves to the very taxpayers who have delivered more revenue to the government than anyone thought was possible just a few months ago. By now virtually every American has heard President Obama, the Democrats and the media chorus [...]

If you believe the Administration’s math each stimulus job cost the government $222,000. It’s a Washington tradition.  Release information the President doesn’t want anyone to notice on Friday evening, especially before  a three day weekend. On Friday evening before the July 4 weekend the White House Council of economic Advisers published a report with the [...]

President Obama’s deficit narrative is a hoax. In what has become his campaign stump speech he makes a series of assertions that upon scrutiny prove to be baseless and to contradict publicly available data from his own Office of Management and Budget (OMB).  He claims that during the Bush years: …we made the [deficit] problem [...]

Are Millionaires and Billionaires the Problem? In his speech on government debt last week President Obama sought to exploit the complexity of the tax system to deceive The People.  Our previous post debunks his implication that President Bush caused the current debt crisis.  Further into his speech he implied that “millionaires and billionaires” were to [...]

Critics of President Obama’s deficit reduction speech called it the opening of his 2012 reelection campaign rather than a serious, sober presentation of the problem and proposed solutions.  We agree. He began by praising big government for all its varied taxpayer funded functions.  He then fixed blame for recent massive deficits and the looming debt [...]
