Herman Cain’s boneheaded 999 plan has been receiving a lot of attention over the past few weeks as he is the current GOP frontrunner. There is no way that Herman Cain will even be relevant by January and his economic plan will be proven for the travesty that it is by next month. As long as Cain is enjoying his 15 minutes of fame I thought it would be interesting to take a look at his plan. [Read more...]
No Deal On Raising The Debt Ceiling
Washington is as partisan as ever. News broke tonight that would be no grand compromise on the debt ceiling. John Boehner announced that it would be too difficult to get Republican votes on a tax increase deal with spending cuts.

Should Donald Trump Be Taken Seriously?
The media has been paying a lot of attention to the ramblings of a Republican primary contender. Donald Trump has been dominating the headlines with his odd ramblings and his profanity laced tirades. The media has taken every opportunity to put Trump all over the airwaves and are giving legitimacy to his joke of a candidacy.
The Budget Fight In Congress
There is a big fight in Congress over what to cut from the federal budget. Congress is debating where to cut spending with the poor and middle class likely to suffer from the biggest cutbacks. I have never understood why whenever there are cutbacks in the federal budget that the middle class and poor are the ones that suffer the most.
