Plunging Towards Gomorrah
big governement reborn
It’s fairly good indication the president is going too far when Reuters has an article titled “Obama brings back era of big government.” I believe the grace period is over for Obama. He’s had a month to show the nation what change means and so far it’s unrestrained federal spending. This is exactly what Americans don’t want to hear. Obama’s ideas aren’t new. It’s called the 70′s. Read your economic history books. This spending is uncontrolled, unprecedented, and unbelievable.
Obama’s first budget was emblematic of a politician who, when he announced his run for the presidency two years ago, had rejected the conventional wisdom that, having little experience in national politics, he was moving too fast and should wait his turn.
“This is a matter of political judgment, not political science,” said William Galston, a Brookings Institution economist who worked in the Clinton White House. “My judgment is that his reach will exceed his grasp. But I could easily be wrong about that.”
This budget isn’t about making the difficult choices. It’s about growing the federal government and the voting base of the Democrat party. The promises of reducing the deficit are based on faulty numbers. If the president really wants to be honest with the American people he should add the Social Security and Medicare shortfalls to the books. Until those numbers are accounted for this budget is just like the budgets we’ve seen the past twenty years. In other words it’s a fabrication.

Let Me Be Clear: A Brief History of Barack Obama
about 21 hours ago - No comments
Barack Obama is arguably the most enigmatic president in the history of the United States, right behind William Henry Harrison. I think I know what’s going on with Mr. Obama, but apparently a majority of my fellow citizens don’t. In a recent and now-infamous poll, 61 percent of Americans either don’t know Mr. Obama’s religious
Semi-Daily Fizz: Wasting Crises and the Bumper Sticker Paradox
about 1 month ago - No comments
The Crisis Lobby: The Obama administration’s mantra – never let a crisis go to waste – has turned the normal news cycle into an Orwellian nightmare. Now, whenever anything bad or seemingly bad happens, we’re faced with some new federal regulation, tax, bureaucratic agency, or all of the above, to respond to the “crisis” and
Weekend Flush: ObamaCare, Liars, Inception, and John Edwards

ObamaCare: It seems like years ago when the Democrats passed one of the worst pieces of legislation in American history. Thanks to the evil Democrats the American taxpayer will be funding abortions. Remember when Stupak famously caved thanks to an Obama executive order? The pro-death left dismissed pro-life fears as paranoia. However, we should know

Here at The Daily Plunge we’ve been diligent in posting about the horrendous coverage of climate change in the United States. There’s no other issue today where people are so hideously uninformed and where press bias is so prevalent. Take this article about the climate change bill in in the Senate by Richard Cowan at
Democrats “Want You” to Pay for Abortion
about 5 months ago - No comments
For those scoring at home if ObamaCare doesn’t pass it’s because the Democrats in Washington insisted on making taxpayers pay for abortion. That’s right. There’s not one good thing you can say about a party committed to making taxpayers pay for the most divisive issue in the nation since slavery. The party of “choice” doesn’t
Santa Claus and the Democratic Party

It’s been awhile since I’ve written about party mascots here at The Daily Plunge. With support for ObamaCare well over 40% it means one thing: the average Democratic voter has lost touch with reality. They believe so strongly in the idea of health care that they’re willing to accept anything the State gives them. It’s odd
Separation of Health Care and State
about 5 months ago - 2 comments
Many generations ago many of our forefathers sought the New World to escape the heavy hand of the State. Eventually, those great pioneers (or perpetrators of environmental and cultural damage if you’re a Progressive) created the United States of America. The spirit of the United States was that the government wasn’t involved in every aspect
Where’s My Bailout?

With the economy still in the tank and unemployment continuing to hover around ten percent, a lot of people are starting to wonder, “Where’s my bailout?” Well, if you look at the salary and employment stats in the public sector (city, county, state and federal government) you’ll see exactly where your bailout went. Your bailout
The Ego Has Landed

Win or lose the President has lost face during the health care debate. In a year of economic woe the President has been on a crusade to strengthen the grip of government on the citizens through a health care takeover. With an approving nod he has sat and watched his party make backroom deals and
The Price of Change

The Obama administration has been a godsend for unions. The Economist has an article about unions that sheds light on the type of job creation Obama intends to inflict on the nation. Obama and his socialist union allies would like to create 4 million union jobs. Why not? More union members equals more democrat voters?
