Disgraced Super Committee Fails to Act
For anybody wondering how the approval rating of Congress (more like the dis-approval rating) could possibly get any lower than its current 9%, the question has finally been answered. Today the so-called Super Committee, comprised of six Republicans and six Democrats, announced that they had failed to come to an agreement on how to remove $1.2 trillion in spending from …
Super Committee Reflects America’s Deep Divisions
As we all can so clearly recall, a disgraceful show of Republican partisanship and recalcitrance last August nearly brought the country to the point of financial default. A last minute deal was reached between moderate Republicans and Democrats that forced the Obama Administration to agree to deep cuts in domestic spending with no increases in revenues. At that time a …
West Wing Story: Rumble of Dems and GOP!

Tea Party Digs in It’s Heels For Assault on America
Over the last several weeks and months, the most difficult job in America has undoubtedly been Speaker of The House of Representatives. I’m quite sure that the much beleaguered John Boehner from Ohio would readily agree. His own Republican Party has been hijacked by a vociferous and stubborn right-wing element (i.e. the Tea Party) that has steadfastly refused to strike …
Anthony Weiner: All Muster; Hold the Relish
He is inescapable, this Democratic US Congressman named Anthony Weiner. He’s everywhere! He’s everywhere! I have gotten sick from hot dogs before but this one really makes me nauseous. He denies; he investigates; he’s not sure that is his, um…penis; he must have been hacked; now he confesses; now he needs treatment, and now he will not leave Office! For …
Republican Disunity Garners Media Attention
The media’s feeding frenzy over Donald Trump’s outrageous, and politically untenable behavior has certainly been a major distraction for the other, more acceptable presidential hopefuls. Not everyone within the Republican leadership ranks, however, have viewed the “Trump” distraction as necessarily a bad thing. The fact is that the Republican Party is hopelessly fractured between the demanding conservative wing and its …
Recession May Finally Hit the Public Sector
According to economic estimates, the fifty states that comprise the American landscape have racked up a combined budget deficit of around $275 billion. This cold, hard fact has actually been known for quite some time. In fact, during last Fall’s campaign season, many Gubernatorial candidates were swept into office by promising new and creative ways of balancing their state …
John Boehner : The Spineless Speaker of The House
On Saturday, the House Republicans managed to push through a bill that would cut around $60 billion of domestic, discretionary spending from the current year’s budget. Driven primarily by the Tea Party zealots, House Speaker John Boehner and Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan caved into accepting an ill-advised piece of legislation that has no chance what-so-ever of making it through …
Democrats Must Stop Playing Political “Games”

America’s official unemployment rate hasn’t budged much over the last couple of years from a level of around 9.5%. The plain truth is that the economy has only been growing at a paltry rate of 2% (or less), which is not near enough to make a significant dent in unemployment. Thanks mainly to the Obama Administration …
Bipartisanship Is A Two-Way Street
If the Democrats and the Obama Administration truly want to create an atmosphere of bi-partisanship and cooperation, then the Republicans must be allowed to be heard, and to be taken seriously.
