“If ethnic Hawaiians can be accorded tribal status, why not Chicanos in the Southwest? Or Cajuns in Louisiana?” testified Gail Heriot of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in a hearing before the House Natural Resource Committee in June. “Indeed, it is implausible to say that Congress has the power to confer this benefit only upon racial or ethnic groups, since ordinarily congressional power is at its lowest ebb with issues that touch on race or ethnicity.”

“The accounting gimmicks that are used today would make an Enron and WorldCom accountant blush,” Hensarling told reporters. “The American people know that under the policies of this administration—under the policies of this Congress—we are drowning in a sea of red ink.”

The government centralized approach cannot be defended on the grounds of efficiency, fairness, financial savings

The president is “totally not serious” about considering Republican ideas, Morris says in an interview with Newsmax.TV. “He’s giving us a terrible bill.”

Obama’s proposed tax increases to finance his healthcare proposal would put the top rate for federal, state and Medicare taxes at about 50 percent, Morris says.

In addition, Obama wants to raise the capital gains tax. “Every single time you raise the capital gains tax, your revenues go crashing, because there’s less investment and spending,” Morris says.

Boehner also criticized the president’s plan for creating “a new entitlement program that will bankrupt our country” and “an employer mandate … that says that employers, you’ve got to provide health insurance to the American people, or you’re going to pay this tax.”

“My resolution builds off the efforts of at least 36 state legislatures, including Oklahoma, that are looking to limit or oppose health mandates in the House and Senate passed health care reform bills that would require purchase of government approved health insurance. These state actions are in direct opposition to the draconian national health care reform measures that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are negotiating behind closed doors behind the backs of the American people”

Smart, witty, factual, charismatic, family oriented, strong, the type of woman we need in Washington!

If the Congress is able to pass a second “stimulus”, they will be — at least by Einstein’s definition — insane.

With uncharacteristic bluntness, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke warned Congress on Wednesday that the United States could soon face a debt crisis like the one in Greece, and declared that the central bank will not help legislators by printing money to pay for the ballooning federal debt.

Despite the runaway federal spending and record budget deficits, Barack Obama is including $410 million in the 2011 budget for his “safe schools” czar Kevin Jennings. This is an increase of $45 million over last year’s budget. Obviously, some things are more important than others. These funds ought to buy a whole mess of fisting kits, leather bar guides and child porn books. And, the money will come in handy for the sexual indoctrination of teens and pre-teens.
