Here is how they got $5 billion of the $39 billion dollars worth of cuts in the Federal budget this last week-end. …the cuts that actually will make it into law are far tamer, including cuts […]
How the press are like insects! The year – 2011 – The press to Republicans trying to force through their agenda: “YOU SHOULD HAVE QUIT WHILE YOU WERE AHEAD YOU IDIOTS!!!” The years – 2009 and 2010 – The press to Democrats trying to force through their agenda: PS. I was going to compare the […]
For those who don’t understand exactly how hostile to business geniuses who run the state of California can be, I saw a story yesterday that can highlight the problem.
