S&P Downgrades U.S. Sovereign Debt
From Bloomberg: S&P Cuts U.S. Rating for First Time on Deficit Reduction Pact The U.S. had its AAA credit rating downgraded for the first time by Standard & Poor’s, which slammed the nation’s political process and said lawmakers failed to cut spending enough to reduce record deficits. “The downgrade reflects our opinion that the fiscal [...]
Keep the Pressure On!
A large group of patriots gathered at Rep. Eric Cantor’s office yesterday to personally deliver the message that we do not support a raise in the debt ceiling, unless AT LEAST the Cut, Cap, and Balance approach is implemented. I was impressed at how many people came out with less than 24-hour notice in the [...]

A Debt Ceiling Fold Imminent? Probably.
I have this sinking (but totally expected) feeling that Republicans are about to sell out us and the nation yet again. Before we get to that, though, let’s begin with some good old fashioned class warfare rhetoric from a true artist: “If we do not have revenues, that means there are a bunch of kids [...]

Bloomberg focuses on a big number and then, later, tells you that the cuts will happen over ten years. In other words, the dealmakers are going to cut a few hundred $Billion per year from [...]
Republicans Shouldn’t Take Tea Party for Granted
Here’s an interesting story from BigGovernment.com. Of course, “anonymous sources” are always suspect, but this is extremely troubling if there’s a sliver of truth in here. Let’s hope….no, rather INSIST that the Republican leadership act with conservative principles and take ACTION, rather than just offering fake platitudes and kicking the can down the (very long) [...]
Tell Rep. Cantor to stop waffling on ObamaCare
Unlike many Republicans, including our own Eric Cantor, Reps Michele Bachmann and Steve King are actually doing all they can to fulfill their pledge to defund ObamaCare. On RedState, Bachmann writes: Last night my colleague Rep. Steve King (IA-05) and I drafted a letter to Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Cantor and Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers urging [...]
We’re in BIG trouble … which we already knew
As you probably know by now, our own Eric Cantor couldn’t muster the will to cut the full $100 billion from the budget he and other Republicans promised during the 2010 campaign. While this is disappointing, it’s certainly not unexpected and highlights just how much work we have left to do. Because even if he [...]
Krauthammer unimpressed with tax compromise
Here’s the always-insightful Charles Krauthammer slamming Republicans for helping pass Obama’s tax deal last night: Remember the question after Election Day: Can Obama move to the center to win back the independents who had abandoned the party in November? And if so, how long would it take? Answer: Five weeks. An indoor record, although an asterisk should [...]
