Scott Brown...Enh.

So, new Republican Scott Brown votes for the Democratic Jobs Bill.

Anyone surprised? Anyone?

Not me.

More highway jobs! Yeah, just what we need. Patching potholes is the sure road out of any recession.

It's time to ask the question: Is everybody stupid?!

These are not real jobs!!!

Halfway To Healthcare

By challenging the Republicans to a public-read, dog-and-pony show-debate on health care, Obama is placing a pretty safe bet.
He has two things going for him: 1) Promising someone something important and expensive like health care is more popular than not promising them something important and expensive like health care. And, 2) Republicans are often a bunch of bumbling idiots, unable to make a coherent case for a free market solution.

So, the best we can hope for?: Socialism Lite.

Scott Brown Is Right...And Wrong

"What made America great? Free markets, free enterprise..."
Scott Brown asked that question and answered it correctly.

Who will ask him exactly what's "free" about Massachusetts's healthcare mandates?

Scott Brown? Enh.

Republicans are shouting to the rooftops and hanging from the chandelier in celebration of Scott Brown's victory in the special election in Massachusetts to replace the carcass of drunken buffoon Ted Kennedy.He died.

I would advise them to temper the unbridled joy.
Scott Brown is, after all, a "Massachusetts" Republican.

Headline-China: The World Does Not Have Money To Buy More US Treasuries

No kidding.

Even as we run up more and more debt.

There is no magic economic bullet.
Everything must eventually be paid for.

How To Avoid Bankruptcy

Obama, attempting to scare the voting public and whip up support for his plan to socialize medicine, said the federal government will go bankrupt if health costs are not reined in.
Okay.
Then the federal government should stop paying for health care immediately.
Let the people pay for their own health care in a free market.

These things are not complicated.

Dumb or Dumber?

The more often Barack Obama opens his blow hole and bloviates on matters economic, the more conclusive it becomes that he is either (a) stupid, or...well (a) stupid.

Consider his following prescription:
We must "spend our way out of this recession."

"Spending your way out of a recession" is akin to eating more bacon in the hopes that it will cure for need for heart surgery.
It doesn't help your heart, but hey, at least your not having that nasty surgery!

Obama seems ignorant of the fact that a recession(when people curtail their spending) is not the problem(people have overspent), but the cure.

Eating more bacon won't unclog your arteries; it will only delay the day you finally have that surgery. And your condition will have worsened in the meantime.

Now, excuse me while I have a BLT.
