The Disease of Government Intervention
In a time when failed policy tells us the government just needs to get out, they have forced themselves to become much more than just the referees of our economy. They are now the fans, owners in some cases, coaching staff and have even stepped in to be the players. The government’s “I, I, I” [...]
Boswell Continues to Support Wasteful Spending
It is almost cliché. Leonard Boswell is completely out of touch with Iowa and District Three. It is almost weekly he has worked to help contrive another way to spend our money in the most reckless way possible. He would have had better luck in Vegas than in most of the endeavors where he has [...]
The Impact of Regulation on Your Financial Freedom
I keep hearing everyone say either, “Deregulate!” or “Re-regulate!” What do I not see them saying? I don’t see them offering any rational reason why one is better than the other. I don’t see them telling the people why they will personally benefit from either. When I see this happening, I again, go to the [...]
Dave Funk Press Release on Federal Government Intrusion & Failed Economic Policy
For Immediate Release: Dave Funk, Candidate for Congress; Iowa-03 On Federal Government Intrusion and Failed Economic Policy The US Government has invested billions into “job creating” activities. They’ve done a terrible job and have by-far cost us more than the tiny gains we may have made. I’ve noticed everyone running for office has been talking [...]
The Unfunded Mandate Called Job Creation
Last night I was thoroughly unimpressed with the State of the Union address. One issue President Obama mentioned was, of course, job creation. After all, he said he got the message from Massachusetts. I’ve blogged about this over and over again and I’m not going to stop. Job creation is the biggest myth in the [...]
Tax Hikes Don’t Solve State Spending Habits
Nationwide we’ve seen demand for State services increase while tax revenue has been on the decline. The $200 billion the Feds pumped into states across the union was intended to ensure State services could meet that increased demand. Here we are, one year later, and we’re in worse shape than before. I’ve blogged before about [...]
Big Government Funds International Wealth Distribution
The incompetence of our government related to Global Warming is astounding. Actually, as we learn more about Climategate, this incompetence may very well be gross negligence or fraudulent manipulation. This past weekend the American Thinker released another article expanding on the American climate change manipulation. Democratic leadership in Washington and our current administration has overwhelmingly [...]
Putting All Our Money in All the Wrong Places
January 20, 2010. Rep Leonard Boswell sent a press release stating, “When I voted for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, I voted for initiatives like the Iowa Energy Sector Partnership that get Iowans back to work and invest in communities. As we begin to see signs of the economy coming back, it is more [...]
Climategate Further Exposes the Fraudulent Left
In the face of proven statistical manipulation Al Gore, President Obama and many more still insist on the impending destruction of humanity in years to come. This issue of data manipulation has actually brought forth a much more concerning issue in the midst of the “man-made” or “natural” climate change debate. Fact is, I do [...]
The $400,000 Opinion for Alleged Healthcare Reform
By Steve Schultz, OperationRedState.com You’ve likely read a lot in the past months about MIT economist Jonathan Gruber. As a matter of face, I’ve gone ahead and posted links to a bunch of articles with him offering economic advice on healthcare reform and how it will decrease the deficit while insuring all Americans. You’ve also [...]
