If President Obama is FDR, George Bush was Herbert Hoover



It didn't work For FDR either.

Obama's stimulus and universal health care plan is nothing more than a BAIL OUT for State Governments that are so HUGE, full of waste and corruption. Give the $$$$ to the PEOPLE and dismantle government to get back to governing and regulating and get OUT of the business of providing services as they cannot do it as effectively, efficiently or as economically as Private Industry. The Government CAN monitor and Regulate Private busines they just cann't regulate their own agencies due to political influence, nepotism and favoritism. The HUGE State Governments OPPRESS its citizens and the middle class that supports this burgeoning BEST is shrinking at alarming rates.

I just finished a few moments ago an article in the Weekly Standard about Japan problems in the 1990's which looks a lot like ours. The info dude (the masculine version of the term info-babe) alluded to it but did not mention that the one thing that really seemed to help Japan was tax cuts.
Unfortunately they jacked up taxes just as they were starting to work and sent them back into recession again. Also Japan did the infrastructure thing with no success.
Also the info-dude did not give George Bush credit for his tax cuts. True, Bush did spend to much but he also cut taxes and that helped the economy. We would still be in good shape if not for the credit crunch and oil price spike.
We have a built in tax increase coming in 2010. It will be interesting to see what the liberals do.
What I will do is write my senators and congressman about this so called tax cut for people who don’t even pay taxes of which many don’t work at all I take it. That really makes me mad.
Call welfare welfare. Tax cuts are for people who actually pay taxes!

On the second vid I wish Democrats would give Hover the credit he deserves for his plan that is a lot like their plan.

They paint him as a supply sider when in fact he did all the same things Roosevelt did. He got blamed for it merely because he was caught holding the bag.

The Blumenthal Burisma Connection

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen. Richard Blumenthal."

PCBs, GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

By Gerald and Natalie Sirkin c2007 A front-page story on PCBs in the March 9 News-Times is just wrong. The first thing to know about PCBs is that they never killed a single person nor did they ever cause cancer. The second is that although they are invariably called “cancer-causing,” that designation comes chiefly from a single rat study. The third thing is that the subject rats were exposed daily for 21 months to 100 parts per million (ppm) of PCBs containing 60% chlorine. (The 100 ppm was about 5,000 times the tolerable daily intake of PCBs set by FDA in 1973.) When rats were exposed to PCBs containing less chlorine, they developed no cancers. The fourth, that when the exposed rats were allowed to live out their lives, they had fewer cancers and lived longer than the unexposed rats. PCBs is a family of chemicals known as polychlorinated biphenyls. PCBs contain chlorine ranging from 12% to 70%. They were used in two General Electric plants that manufactured electrical equipmen...

Taking The Fifth, After Esty

Whether or not U.S. Representative Elizabeth Esty will serve the remainder of her term or resign immediately is very much an open question. But, in any case, the battle for Connecticut’s 5 th U.S. Congressional District has begun with a show of unexpected fireworks. For many years, the 5 th District was a toss-up proposition; both Republicans and Democrats have held and surrendered the seat. Geographically the 5 th District touches the border of New York from Connecticut’s northern-most point to Danbury in the southern quadrant and includes much of Litchfield county and parts of Fairfield, Hartford and New Haven counties. Party affiliation is competitive, in round figures, 30 percent Democrat, 25 percent Republican and 45 percent unaffiliated. Over the years, the Democrat Party in Connecticut has moved from the center to the left, but the 5 th District has been a moderate preserve. During the Obama presidential election, Republican moderates within Connecticut's U.S. ...
