Bill Clinton Thinks Tax Cuts are Immoral

Immoral to allow people to keep more of their own money? Unethical to give less of other people's money to those who didn't earn it?

"Don't you think people around the world know we do this? And don't you think this has something to do with the way they look at us?" - Yeah, I've seen lots of riots and flag burnings around the world in protest over Americans letting Americans keep more of their own money.


"When I was president we moved 100 times more people out of poverty than in the previous twelve years." - I think he's confusing the accomplishments of the newly elected Republican congress with his own actions--which were nil in this regard before the Republican revolution.

Of All Gas Consumers, Bush May Be Biggest

Never say the Left can't get more petty.


Tomorrows headline will read "Bush Consumes Air, Exhales Carbon Dioxide: Global Warming Worsening."

As Drudge reports, the Left gets the usual pass.

Pat Roberts Scourged, Stephanopoulos Gets a Pass

In typical style, the media crucifies a conservative for saying the same thing a liberal did.

.

Check out the Newsmax story about what George Stephanopoulos said about assassinating Saddam--you know, Cindy Sheehan's buddy, the one who volunteered as a school crossing guard, fed the homeless, gave away flowers in the town square, and definitely didn't have WMDs or support terrorists.

Roberts Unlikely To Face Big Fight

This may turn out to be the case, but if conservatives don't keep their guard up, they may just turn out to be the biggest chumps in recent history when Democrats pull some suprise offensive out of the hat, and they find themselves sitting on their rear ends twiddling their thumbs as they did with Judge Bork and Judge Thomas.

Some on BRAC panel say Pentagon's $50 billion estimate far overstated

"A majority of the members of the independent commission assessing the Pentagon's proposed list of domestic base closings say that the Defense Department probably overstated the nearly $50 billion in savings projected over 20 years, perhaps by nearly 50%."

Wow! That's a pretty big overstatement!

The report (NYT by way of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) also says, "47% of the projected savings were from cuts in members of the military who in many cases would simply be reassigned to other installations."

Even if the Pentagon's figures were correct, and they'd save $5.5 billion a year from ALL these closures, with the federal budget over $2 trillion, that means an annual savings of less than 0.275%

To put that in perspective, if you were making $3,000 a month and you saved .275% of that, you'd be saving $8.25. Wow! The cost of a movie over a month's time!

If the government wants to REALLY save money, the should stop cutting one of the few areas of our spending that's actually CONSTITUTIONAL, and cut those that arent--say, the completely UNCONSTITUTIONAL social spending that takes up around 50% of our budget!!!
