Republicans Should Clear Out the Congressional Budget Office

As a Vietnam Era Veteran, I think we should modify "Search and Destroy" to "Search and Separate" any holdovers in any politically appointed positions as every office changes hands. This ESPECIALLY applies to the CBO. They score the bills. If you want to see any tax reform at all, you have to clear out every Liberal in there like Boss Tweed would have done in the bad old patronage days. This ain't no time to play nice. These guys are ruling by decree from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and counting on the Justice Department not to prosecute obvious Obstruction of Justice in the IRS case. We need to clear the decks to stop all of this unconstitutional, lawless behavior. We can't leave snipers in the rear to stop our bills on budget technicalities when they get the word from our Dear Leader.

Obama Won't Make Any Deals with Republicans, RINO or Otherwise

Conservatives have taken to worrying about whether Republicans in Name Only will make bad deals with Barry the Magnificent.  Since Obama won't work with any Republican, it really doesn't matter what RINOs want to do. I'm not the first to notice that the US would be a lot better off if Obama would treat negotiations with Iran more like he does negotiations with Republicans and negotiations with Republicans more like negotiations with Iran. At this point, our Dear Leader's hubris has gotten to the point that he thinks he can rule by decree without any backing from even the Democrats in Congress. The Smartest President Ever only needs to bounce his ideas off Valerie Jarret and David Axelrod in order to make decisions. Cabinet level appointments are used as the designated fall guys. It's pathetic. The bumper sticker I have on my car says it all: "Worst President Ever." And yes, it does have an Obama Campaign "O."

Time for a Walk on the Supply Side

The Japanese experience of losing a decade or two with massive deficits failing to boost demand now has been repeated across the developed world, including here in the US. Given these uniformly poor results, isn't it time to reevaluate Keynsian Economics? Keynes' theories were always counter intuitive to me anyway. How could taking resources out of a relatively efficient private sector and moving them to a relatively inefficient public sector make everybody better off? Now that we have done the experiment over and over with disastrous results, it's time to take notice that Reagan's Supply Side Economics seemed to work a lot better than anything we've tried lately. If government deficit spending was the key to prosperity, Greece would be a world leading economy. It appears instead that government deficits are the road to ruin and we should change our ways. This means we should throw Keynes' Theories into the historical interest section and remove them from the practical guide for policy role.

Eric Holder, Democrat's Stay out of Jail Card

Liberals like to brag that there have been no convictions in any of the Obama Administration scandals.  The reason that there have been no convictions, or even indictments, is that Eric Holder's Justice Department will not prosecute Democrats in government or out. An honest Attorney General would have charged Lois Lerner and numerous other folks at the IRS for Obstruction of Justice. There is no way any email system did not have copies of Lois Lerner's emails in numerous places. If they are gone, it took deliberate action. What the IRS did is so obvious that there's a joke circulating on the internet about it. "The leading cause of computer disk crashes is subpoenas." At the start of his tenure, Holder dropped the charges against black panthers who had already agreed to plead guilty to voter intimidation. Since the black panthers had been threatening white voters and the panthers were "his people," it was OK with Holder. When Jon Corzine spent customer money to pay corporate debts as CEO of MF Global, it violated Sarbanes Oxley, numerous SEC laws and regulations and happens to be the biggest no-no in running a brokerage firm. Corzine's status as a major fund raiser for the Chicago Machine Prodigy in Chief gave him immunity. The abuse of prosecutorial discretion is on a monumental scale. It makes the Watergate cover up look small by comparison. Under our Dear Leader's Administration, laws don't apply to Democrats.
