Clinton donors are at it again, pushing veiled threats against anyone who doesn’t implicitly back Clinton. This is similar to the threats made in trying to get the Florida delegates to count. Enough is enough. Like Pelosi said, superdelegates should “back whoever emerges from the nomination contests with the most pledged delegates”. Obama clearly is winning the…

Universal Health Care
Christian Science Monitor has an opinion page on the Universal Health Care proposals being bandied about by both Dem candidates, saying it may not even be Constitutionally legal. Personally, I think the whole idea is crazy. Do we really want another large bureaucracy? Has our government managed anything properly lately? Social Security and Medicare are…
A government made for business
From the AP, Breach exposes 4.2 million credit, debit cards I thought the government existed to protect us? “Visa and MasterCard have stipulated in their contracts with retailers that they will not divulge who the source is when a data breach occurs,” Spitzer said. “We’ve been engaged in a dialogue for a couple years now…
American tourists have hard time exchanging dollars
As reported byReuters, American tourists in Amsterdam are having a tough time exchanging their dollars for local currency, because nobody wants to get caught holding worthless paper.
Fed Bear Stearns bailout an ominous sign
Great article on how the government is ok with bailing out, providing tax breaks, and subsidies, to large corporations, using YOUR MONEY. But when it comes to you and helping you during hard times, you get nothing, because helping you is deemed too expensive. Bear Stearns is too important to allow to fail, but millions of homeowners can…
Taxpayer funded bailouts continue
JPMorgan to buy Bear Stearns for $2/Share, with help from the Feds. Folks on top thought it would be ok to give out mortgages and credit/loans to people who couldn’t afford it. Now, we’re paying for the cockiness, greed, and stupidity of the elite.
Hillary trying to steal the election
Clinton fundraisers threatening the DNC to get Michigan and Florida delegates seated. Look, Michigan and Florida broke DNC rules, knowing well what the consequences would be. There should be NO DO OVERS!! PERIOD. No second chances, just because Hillary is not the leading candidate.
Dollar under pressure, wheat prices go up, and Bear Stearns may be bought out
The dollar touched a record low of $1.5651 against the euro and crude oil reached a record $111 a barrel. Grocery costs are expected to go up further with the rise in the cost of wheat. The price of wheat has more than tripled during the past 10 months, making Americans’ daily bread — and bagels…
It will take YEARS for the dollar to recover
Nobody wants the dollar. Even some stores in NYC are accepting foreign currency. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, start saving, start looking for ways to reduce your monthly expenditures (maybe less movies, less eating out or ordering in), hold off on buying luxury items, etc. Take public transportation whenever possible, instead…
Olbermann on Ferraro and Clinton
It’s getting to be laughable, and ridiculous. The Clinton camp keeps bringing race into the picture, albeit, indirectly. What would happen if the Obama camp kept bringing up the fact that Clinton is a woman? And as Keith Olbermann puts it, the Dems basically have the presidency in the bag, but are working really hard…
