Wile E. Obama and the ACME Economic Destruction Co. Need Just a Few More Dollars

By marfdrat on January 17, 2012

Wile E Obama and his ACME Economic Destruction Company need another extension on the debt limit. You know, until they can get things under control, and the economy comes roaring back. (via Red State)

Oprah: Petulant Boy-King is “A Masterful Leader”

By marfdrat on January 14, 2012

Masterful, yes, if your specialty is sending the U.S. economy right down the toilet. Wile E. Obama and his ACME Economic Destruction Co. have been doing a masterful job of that. Here’s Oprah, genuflecting: And here’s some truth about Chicago Jesus and his “mastery” of the economy: Gas prices (which, he promised, would “necessarily rise”). [...]

Wile E. Obama and His ACME Economic Destruction Company: Working Economic Miracles and Lowering that Nasty Ol’ Unemployment Rate

Wile E. Obama and His ACME Economic Destruction Company: Working Economic Miracles and Lowering that Nasty Ol’ Unemployment Rate

By marfdrat on January 13, 2012

This is the 2,000th post I’ve made on this little soapbox. It seems fitting that the subject will be the SCOAMF that currently occupies the White House, as he has been (unfortunately) the #1 topic. Thankfully, there’s only another 10 months or so until someone else is elected to take his place, and (hopefully) lead [...]

Who Will Have the Courage to Face the Arithmetic?

Who Will Have the Courage to Face the Arithmetic?

By marfdrat on January 12, 2012

Bill Whittle describes our situation perfectly: we have spent all the money there is, and all the money there will be for years to come. It cannot go on. It won’t be pretty, but it can be done. Who will do it? We must do it.

Allen West: We Need Leadership – Not a Campaigner-in-Chief

Allen West: We Need Leadership – Not a Campaigner-in-Chief

By marfdrat on November 18, 2011

Rep. Allen West (R-FL) tells the media to stop blaming the Republicans in Congress for the lack of economic progress in the United States, and start looking at the real problem: Barack Obama. (from CNS News) “It’s about time that I asked this from the media: Stop being afraid of this president.  Stand up to [...]

Wile E Obama and the ACME Economic Destruction Co: Winning!

Wile E Obama and the ACME Economic Destruction Co: Winning!

By marfdrat on October 15, 2011

Here’s another record for (zero)bama’s administration: three straight years with deficits over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS. November 2012 can’t come fast enough. We might not be able to save us with him gone, but we sure as hell won’t be able to do it with Wile E. Obama and the ACME Economic Destruction Co. still running [...]

House Budget Committee Chairman Likes Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan, Too

House Budget Committee Chairman Likes Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 Plan, Too

By marfdrat on October 13, 2011

Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan got another endorsement today, from the House Budget Committee Chairman: House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan says he “loves” presidential candidate Herman Cain’s signature “9-9-9″ tax plan. Ryan told The Daily Caller in an exclusive interview that Cain’s plan is a good starting point for debate, and shows the GOP presidential campaign [...]

Economic Freedom in America Today: Endangered

Economic Freedom in America Today: Endangered

By marfdrat on October 12, 2011

Interesting -and frightening- video presentation from Economic Freedom. The burden of regulation and out-of-control spending is going to consume our economy, if we don’t do something to stop it.

Hmmmm. Why Am I NOT Surprised? ACORN Involved in “Occupy Wall Street” Protests

Hmmmm. Why Am I NOT Surprised? ACORN Involved in “Occupy Wall Street” Protests

By marfdrat on October 6, 2011

I’m kind of mystified by the whole “Occupy Wall Street” thing. I’m not sure what a bunch of smelly hippie wanna-bes think they going to accomplish by standing around the street in one of our major cities, and chanting and carrying signs with all sorts of idiotic slogans. See the picture below for an example [...]

NC Governor: Let’s Suspend Elections, So Congress Can Focus on the Economy

NC Governor: Let’s Suspend Elections, So Congress Can Focus on the Economy

By marfdrat on September 28, 2011

NC Democrat Governor Beverly Perdue says she was joking; using a bit of hyperbole to make a point. As a way to solve the national debt crisis, North Carolina Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue recommends suspending congressional elections for the next couple of years. “I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two [...]

(zero)bama’s “Jobs” Act: Even the Dem-Controlled Senate Doesn’t Want to Deal With It

By marfdrat on September 18, 2011

If you believe the DNC’s television commercials and the Petulant Boy-King, this “jobs” bill (translation: porkulus 2 – or is it 3?) thing needed to happen yesterday. Funny – for something that was such a freakin’ emergency, it doesn’t seem to be generating much urgency from the President’s own party. From The Hill: The Senate [...]

Next Time, (zero)bama Will Have the Bill Written BEFORE He Asks You to Pass It

By marfdrat on September 15, 2011

This is awesome. Everyone knows that when the  Petulant Boy-King was spouting off about his “jobs” bill last week, the actual bill had not yet been written. Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) decided to step into the void, and do something about it; he wrote his own. Now, the name “American Jobs Act of 2011″ has [...]

Economy Gains No Jobs in August. Hey, They Don’t Call Him President Zero for Nothing

By marfdrat on September 2, 2011

Okay, so I stole that Zero line from Glenn Reynolds, but it fits the situation EXACTLY.  I can’t wait to hear the super duper “jobs” plan the president is going to unveil next week <sarc>. The US economy created no jobs and the unemployment rate held steadily higher at 9.1 percent in August, fueling concerns [...]

Obama Bus Tour to Stop at Economically Healthy Towns in Order to Figure Out Why His Policies Haven’t Ruined Them Yet

Obama Bus Tour to Stop at Economically Healthy Towns in Order to Figure Out Why His Policies Haven’t Ruined Them Yet

By marfdrat on August 16, 2011

From Doug Powers. I love the part about the (not one, but) two $1 million+ buses they purchased for Obama to ride around in while he’s on the ground out there. Eat your peas, indeed. Read it: Obama Bus Tour to Stop at Economically Healthy Towns in Order to Figure Out Why His Policies Haven’t Ruined [...]
