10 Reasons to Oppose Highway/Student Loan/Flood Insurance Omnibus Bill

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  June 28th at 07:40 PM  | 

While everyone is focused on how to deal with the impending government takeover of healthcare, we must continue to battle the forces of big-government in Congress.  Yesterday, in another display of venerable bipartisanship, leaders from both parties agreed to roll the $120 billion Democrat highway bill, subsidies to fuel the Big Education bubble, and a 5-year extension of government-run flood insurance into one omnibus bill, | Read More »

Double Capitulation Alert: Say No to Highway and Student Loan Bills

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  June 27th at 07:00 PM  | 

While everyone is waiting breathlessly to see whether the Supreme Court will strike down Obama’s egregious power grab in the healthcare sector, a bipartisan group of congressmen and senators are working to grow government in several other sectors of the economy.  We must not be complacent. In our battle to shrink the size of the federal government, there have been a number of issues on | Read More »

Sugarcoating the Cost of Special Interest Subsidies with Food Stamps

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  June 14th at 09:00 AM  | 

Here’s a novel idea: let’s stop subsidizing Big Sugar.  Maybe if the government wouldn’t intervene in the agriculture sector, inducing sharp increases in the price of commodities, many of the 46 million people on food stamps would be able to afford food. Then again, why would liberal politicians abrogate their source of political power?  They stand to benefit from subsidizing rich sugar farmers and keeping | Read More »

The Food Stamp Party is Stimulating Poverty

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  August 17th at 12:44 PM  | 

The loss of jobs is only half of the result of the government interventionist equation.  The other casualty of an economy driven by taxation, regulation, litigation, subsidization, monetary intervention, and debt is the crippling cost of living for all Americans.  [Yes, I was about to say middle class, but we would be wise to eradicate that sort of socialist innuendo from our vernacular.] Earlier today, the | Read More »

Time to Focus on the Fed: Oppose Peter Diamond’s Nomination

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  May 11th at 08:42 AM  | 

The Democrats have a penchant for advancing their big government dreams through the insidious use of unelected members of government.  To that end, Obama has nominated radical ideologues to judgeships and executive agencies since the beginning of his presidency. Another unelected body of the federal government that is rapidly becoming a fourth branch is the Federal Reserve.  Due to the vitality of their creeping economic interventions, | Read More »

Time to End Fed’s Dual Mandate of Destruction

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  April 29th at 10:44 AM  | 

Recent economic reports of Obamanomics have shown dismal GDP growth, rising jobless claims, an anemic dollar, and soaring inflation; all indications of stagflation.  There are two components to stagflation; high unemployment and high inflation.  The unemployment, along with the weak economic growth, is due in large part to Obama’s Keynesian fiscal policy of overtaxing, overspending, over-subsidizing, and over-regulating.  While the profligate spending and corporate welfare | Read More »

The Poor Aren’t Buying Obama’s Class Warfare

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  April 14th at 11:00 AM  | 

Obama is forcing our troops to fight a politically correct war in Afghanistan; however, he is prosecuting his class warfare with no holds barred.  Obama and the Democrats are the Navy SEALS of class warfare.  Fortunately, his target audience, the poor, are not impressed with his ferocity.  Obama’s support among the poorest Americans has dropped to an all time low, according to the latest Gallup | Read More »
