Government Spending Doesn't Create Jobs

Now if some in Washington would pay attention...

H/T American Power

Warm Up Act

The best line I have heard in a while...

“It’s been a dramatic fall for a man who was, his supporters assured us in 2008, America’s best orator since Abraham Lincoln. Now he’s reduced to a warm-up act for a football game.”

Government Debt

Mark Steyn explains how Government spending cuts really work...

Under the “historic” “resolution” of the debt crisis (and don’t those very words “debt crisis” already feel so last week?), America will be cutting federal spending by $900 billion over ten years. “Cutting federal spending by $900 billion over ten years” is Washington-speak for increasing federal spending by $7 trillion over ten years. And, as they’d originally planned to increase it by eight trillion, that counts as a cut. If they’d planned to increase it by $20 trillion and then settled for merely $15 trillion, they could have saved five trillion. See how easy this is?

I guess Christina  Romer is right for once. We are pretty darned fu*ked.
