Debt Ceiling
The Associated Press cites: “At least one credit rating agency has already made it clear that unless that agreement includes at least $4 trillion in budget cuts over the next decade, the country’s AAA rating could be lost. Right now, the proposals under discussion cut around $2 trillion or less.” One problem with these numbers […]

Here is the letter to the editor that I submitted to the Valley Breeze and should get published next week: In a recent Valley Breeze letter to the editor, Congressman David Cicilline makes a great many allegations, all against “the Republican budget”.

Can we get the story straight?
In the first 48 hours since Osama bin Laden was exterminated, the details on the story have been changed multiple times. Why? What this really looks like is they’re trying to hide something.

Cowards Fleeing Their States
First there was Wisconsin and now Indiana. Not just budget troubles or just anti-union governors, but instead we have Democrats who choose to run instead of doing their job. Both state legislatures are facing a stalemate where the Republican-controlled legislatures are looking to pass some tough new laws curbing the rights of public sector unions. […]

The Irresponsible Media
So it’s not bad enough that pundits and the media are taking an opportunity to blame the Tucson shootings on the “right-wing” and “hate talk”. Even Governor Chafee has decreed that no state employee may speak to talk radio while on the state’s dime. Even if he did describe the ban as being against “ratings-driven, […]
