Why the stimulus package hasn’t reduced unemployment Robert Stapler, in a comment on an earlier post, alerted us to this article on the Reason.com website. Quote: Overall, government spending doesn’t boost national income or standard of living. It merely redistributes it—minus the share it spends on the bureaucracy that collects and spends our tax dollars. [...]
New York Times columnist David Brooks lauds the Obama administration for standing up to teachers’ unions for the purpose of improving education results. His praise may be premature. The administration is only in the discussion stages with teachers’ unions. In any case, you can be sure that Federal funding of education will remain a lever [...]

It reads: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The President [...]

Frankly, there’s a part of me that doesn’t want to give this ‘activist’ group any more free publicity for their movie than they’ve already gotten: The U.S. Chamber filed a lawsuit yesterday against activists who last week staged a fake news conference announcing that the business trade group had changed its policy on climate legislation.

Reading the story posted here, the sourcing seems a little thin. Still, it’s moving very fast on Twitter and I thought I’d post a quick mention.

We forget this anniversary at our peril. As conservatives face off against their own natural party, the GOP, in NY-23, Florida, and elsewhere, we should remember Ronald Reagan’s famous speech. “Not too long ago, two friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a businessman who had escaped from Castro, and in the midst [...]

Plumline’s Greg Sargent has posted the results of a highly confidential House Democratic Party Whip Count which shows 47 Democrats at No on a public option, with another 8 leaning No for a total of 56. A dozen Democratic House members are still undecided. The hard No votes, alone, are enough to kill the bill. [...]

They are connected to the Republican Party and, to [...]

As most of us watch the special election in New York, we still have a Senate primary in California to deal with. It’s the same old story, though. There are two kinds of Republicans.

Joe Lieberman just announced he will filibuster any health care legislation that has the public option in it. This pretty much guarantees the death of the public option in public form.

Talk about timing: President Obama offered him some warm words at a Miami fundraiser for the Democratic congressional campaign committees last night.
