A Typically Short-Sighted Solution to Long-Term Problem

FOXNews.com - Democratic Presidential Hopeful John Edwards Will Unveil Strategy to Reduce Heating Oil Costs /a>
Noting that home heating oil prices in New Hampshire have surpassed $3 a gallon, the former North Carolina senator is calling on Congress to release some of the nations home heating oil and crude oil reserves as a way to bring down prices by increasing supply. He also is urging Congress to fully fund the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, according to a copy of his plan provided to The Associated Press.

This will do nothing but put us in worse shape in the future. Those reserves are for when we get embargoed..not if. As is typical of Many Americans these days they think sacrificing long term plans for short term game is a good idea..which is what has led to the current credit/mortgage disaster we are now that is going to grow deeper.

MAPLight.org | Money and Politics: Illuminating the Connection

While they center on Cali politics they also profile federal congressional contributions and show the correlation between the money they receive form who and the way they voted. An excellent site.

I forgot to mention this one.

WorldNetDaily: Hundreds of banks threatened by new subprime crisis

If your mortgage has been sold to another bank as part of an investment(as many have these days) then the institution holding that mortgage pool owns nothing..they are standing on a time bomb since those debts are unsecured. WOW.

krashpad: Clinton’s Las Vegas Trip

I can admit, I hate social welfare programs. They are evil things, and in effect are enforced charity. It is the government, taking money from me to give to someone it deems worthy by some arcane stricture. A modern-day Robin Hood if you will. While Robin Hood is often classified as a folk hero, let us not forget that he was fighting against the high taxes and social ills which big government impose upon us. If eitherObama or Clinton manage to make it into office, this is the future we have to look forward to. Yet another attack against the capitalistic, small-government dream which our Founding Fathers held dear.

Unfortunately if Ron Paul doesn’t win it doesn’t matter who is in the cerry throne and any of hte other demopublicans or republicrats are all socialistic in their views.

More Maryland Taxes and They Mostly Hit SMB’s.

Well here in Maryland now i have to charge 6% sales tax on EVERYTHING i do except webdesign. I was hoping to delay my price increases a while longer but it appears Maryland decided to not only do it for me but to steal that revenue away form me to boot. It appears i will be jumping into this political fray to hopefully get this turned around as MD businesses are going to be paying 800 million of the 1.3 billion in new taxes.

Here’s a link to a google search about the new taxes..i’m interested in the new sales taxes.

Another Hysteric Climate Change Report

U.N.’s landmark report on warming - World environment- msnbc.com

Never mind that the earth is actually cooler than 2 years ago the UN wants control of the world for itself. Global warming, climate change, whatever you want to call it is nothing more than another attempt at a one world government.

*long time needed update* I don’t know how i missed this. When you look at the agendas of the GW people it’s quite stark what their tactics are actually based on. The Czech president actually sums it up totally correctly..it’s communism rebranded.
