Here Comes The Future
Following is a USA TODAY story you may not see in the LA Times. The key phrase in this economic mix is “not sustainable.” A fiscal crisis akin to Europe’s current woes is a question of when, not if. It’s only a matter of time.

Noonan Explains the Outrage
I’ve got to hand it to Peggy Noonan. She has hit the nail so squarely regarding Arizona’s immigration situation that hardly anymore need be said, a rarity in this day or any other. Enjoy her most recent article, published by the Wall Street Journal:
The Big Alienation
Uncontrolled borders and Washington’s lack of self-control.

Willie Brown’s Remarkable Statement
During the last several decades, liberal Democrats have dominated California politics, but the pinnacle of their power was reached in the first years of this century. Gray Davis was Governor, all 5 statewide offices were held by Democrats and both state legislatures were dominated by Democrats. California had become the Petri dish of liberal wish fulfillment.
Budgets were crafted on [...]

Cash For Clunkers Folly
Two months ago I predicted that the “Cash For Clunkers” program would not produce the results trumpeted by the Obama administration. Rather, it would be yet another government boondoggle. Well, lo and behold, the Wall Street Journal just this Sunday past confirmed the lunacy of destroying assets as a way to create wealth. Here’s what [...]

Summerhouse Lessons
To the surprise of no one, early Wednesday morning the Temecula City Council approved the controversial Summerhouse project. Despite the passionate opposition of hundreds of residents who live in close proximity to the proposed 100+ low income units, Temecula’s self-proclaimed experts rubber stamped their foregone conclusion. It’s a sad day for government of, by, and for the people.
The [...]

What’s Wrong With Cash For Clunkers?
If you thought the Bush administration was invasive, watch the video…
The “Cash for Clunkers” overwhelming success shouldn’t have caught the government off-guard. Increasing the value of creaking crates by four-fold or more provided all the incentive 250,000 Americans needed to unload their aging rides. Congress is so pleased that the first billion dollars allocated has been claimed [...]

Lock and Load
Included in President Obama’s healthcare proposal is the onerous notion of paying for abortions with taxpayer money. Until now, the federal government has had the good sense to understand just how repugnant abortion is to many Americans. While defending a woman’s right to chose, neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton proposed government-funded abortions. However, Obama’s hard charge to [...]

A Second Stimulus!?
The National Debt Road Trip:
Paul Krugman, noted columnist for the New York Times, has come out in favor of another stimulus plan. The proverbial feather could knock me down. How can such a smart man be so wrong? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. America’s intelligentsia of the 1920s and 1930s bought communism hook, line and [...]
