Unshockingly, it isn’t a plan that will bankrupt the country The Congressional Budget Office Wednesday night released its cost analysis of the Republican health care plan and found that it would reduce health care premiums and cut the deficit by $68 billion over ten years.

So, ABC does a remake of the 1980’s mini-series “V,” turning it into a weekly show. Cool. Space monsters. Classic formula. Imagine this.

I usually do not like posting two straight “smack Obama” stories back to back, but, this should give you a good view of where his priorities lie.

I think we can firmly place this in the category of “good news for a Monday” The climate-change bill that has been moving slowly through the Senate will face a stark political reality when it emerges for committee debate on Tuesday: With Democrats deeply divided on the issue, unless some Republican lawmakers risk the backlash […]

After using 2009 as The Year We Exploded The Deficit, Democrats are getting a bit uneasy over their election prospects. First they had their Porkulus, then the Omnibus, the $3.5 trillion 2010 budget, and the coming massive health system overhaul and global warming tom-foolery. But, hey, they did manage to cut several defense initiatives (just […]

As I always say, if you want the truth from the NY Times, check the Saturday edition. The editors all slip out for an early Martini, leaving time for those who believe in journalism to write and post their stories. Witness The best symbol of the $787 billion federal stimulus program turns out not to […]
