A Ray of Hope?

By Caomhin

One can only hope.  It was announced today that the Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the sale of Chrysler as one of the victims of the Obama administration’s power grab pension fund managers was granted a stay as they challenged the Constitutionality of the matter.  Now, it’s very apparent that the whole situation is unconstitutional to those who are closely monitoring the situation (note also the threats leveled by the Administration against those who opposed the sale) but the media, surprise, surprise, did little to report on either the threats or the actual terms of the deal and the socialist redistribution of private assets.  While I don’t think that Justice Kennedy will have the stones to stand up to Obama, what’s interesting is to note which justice ordered the temporary stay.  It was Justice Ginsberg.

Sadly, I still believe that the so called swing members of the SCOTUS will allow this shady deal to go through.  However, there is some hope.  If Ginsberg was at least willing to grant a stay, they may actually hear this case out and if they do, then the hard handed, threatening tactics of the Administration, at least some of them, may come to better light.  If that’s the case, it’s a small victory I’m sure many of us will gladly take.  This deal should never have been approved and the American people are being fleeced by special interest groups and the White House.

PA Democrats: We’re Going to Raise Your Taxes No Matter What

By Caomhin

I’ve posted about it before and here I am posting about it again.  Liberals are liberals no matter where they are from.  For people who go around patting themselves on the back for being “progressive” they sure are regressive and seemingly uneducated on all matters pertaining to mathematics, finance, and common sense.  I hope you’re ready for a fight, be you moderate Democrat, Libertarian, or GOP because the House Dems threw down today and reassured the citizens of the Commonwealth, that yes, they are coming for your wallets by outright rejecting the GOP budget proposal:

The bill, crafted by the Senate Republican caucus and passed in that chamber last month, cut spending in Gov. Ed Rendell’s proposed $29 billion budget to $27.3 billion. It contained no tax increases, and limited reliance on one-time sources of revenue.

But supporters said it did a better job of matching state spending commitments with revenues.

Rendell and House Democrats, however, have maintained that the Senate budget was much harsher to those in need of state services than it needed to be, by failing to tap valuable resources like a $750 million cash reserve, or any of several tax increases proposed by the governor.

Got that?  There was a bill that would have cut spending, contained no tax increases, and limited one time revenues but Democrats just couldn’t do it because they absolutely, positively needed to raise taxes, increase spending, and increase the state deficit.  No other alternatives existed in their minds.  So I hope your ready to remind them, especially at the ballot box, that we will not and cannot pay for their incompetence and stupidity any longer.
