TARP is the new DNC Slush Fund

Posted by Taylor on February 19th, 2010 under Government Spending, Obama, Real Estate Market Tags: , ,  •  No Comments

Obama is set to announce $1.5 billion in aid to underwater homeowners.  Nevada stands to reap a large portion of the money, so why not announce it in Vegas with Harry Reid at your side.  What’s $1.5 billion if it helps get Harry re-elected?
What happened to fiscal responsibility?
When will they end the TARP and why [...]

Washington Gridlock

Posted by Jason on February 11th, 2010 under Democrat, Healthcare, Obama, Politics Tags: , , ,  •  1 Comment

It seems a natural feeling whether you are Republican or Democrat or Independent to be annoyed at the lack of ability to get anything done in Washington DC.  One could argue, its particularly disappointing that Obama hasn’t been able to accomplish anything despite a super majority in the House and Senate.  It often makes me wonder [...]

Government Spending and Tiger Woods

Posted by Jason on December 11th, 2009 under Government Spending, Humor, Obama Tags: , ,  •  2 Comments

My boss is obsessed with the Tiger Woods fallout.  I heard a funny quote yesterday on CNBC by Jim Rogers.  He’s a pretty famous investor.  One of my colleagues called him the coolest guy on wall street.  That’s saying a lot since he wears a bow tie.  Can anyone really not trust a person in [...]

Confused about Obama

Posted by Mark on December 2nd, 2009 under Military, Obama  •  4 Comments

I’m confused. I thought one of Obama’s biggest campaign promises was to pull troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Now he’s sending 30,000 more troops over there? He’s spending even more money. And he heads to Europe next week to receive his Nobel Peace Prize.
What is going on here?

Beginning of Secular Bull Market? Let’s Compare to 1982

I enjoy reading David Rosenburg’s daily commentary.  I suggest you sign up to receive it.  He is an unabashed bear and highly biased toward Canada.  I enjoy his point of view because he tells you everything CNBC is not.  I watch CNBC every day for 10-12 hours a day.  Usually it’s on mute, but sometimes [...]

Unemployment Should Suck

I was recently visiting with some of my friends from college who graduated in the past 2-3 years.  Most left college and found a good job and started making decent first salaries.  Due to the recession, several of these individuals have unfortunately been laid off.  One of them told me she took a 5 week sabbatical [...]

Obama’s Arrogance

Posted by Jason on September 29th, 2009 under Obama Tags: , ,  •  1 Comment

From President Obama’s UN speech last week:
“I am well aware of the expectations that accompany my presidency around the world.” 
Doesn’t comment have an assumption of arrogance built into it?  Is there no end to his arrogance?  Show me something you’ve done Mr. Obama.

Obama’s Nontax Is Defined as a Tax

Posted by Taylor on September 24th, 2009 under Democrat, Economics, Healthcare, Obama Tags: , , , ,  •  1 Comment

You have probably heard about Obama arguing that the individual mandate is not a tax.  Well, this is just one more example of why Obama has no real clue about what is in the bill.  Here is what the Baucus bill actually says about the penalty for not complying with the mandate.  See it for [...]

Young People Should Oppose Health Care Reform

Posted by Jason on September 18th, 2009 under Democrat, Government Spending, Healthcare, Obama, Politics Tags: , , ,  •  1 Comment

I read an interesting WSJ op-ed today.  You can read it here.  I’ve long thought the young people of our country should oppose the health care reform.  We all know, the primary users of health care are the elderly.   As the baby boomers are entering retirement, they will need more health care.  Since they are [...]

Responsibility? What’s That?

Posted by Taylor on September 11th, 2009 under Democrat, Healthcare, Obama Tags: , , , , ,  •  No Comments

This issue has been alluded to before on this blog, but many of America’s problems have been created by a lack of responsibility.  Liberals are moving us toward a society where more and more of the responsibility is placed on the government.  Communism and Socialism are all about central planning.  Citizens are told where to [...]
