I tend to be against funding of special projects that reek of favoritism and payback. On the other hand, I tend to agree with Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) when it comes to so-called “earmarks reform.” The senior senator from Oklahoma describes the push to eliminate earmarks as a phony issue. Fox News is reporting on [...]

Democrats Ignore Basic Economic Facts
October 7th, 2010 · 1 Comment
By Foster Friess, Guest Blogger Democrats are fond of talking about the Clinton era budget surplus President George W. Bush “squandered” and the terrible financial mess President Barack Obama “inherited.” Both arguments ignore a few basic facts. First, presidents don’t control spending, Congress does. Second, outside events have to be taken into account before you [...]

On Slavery, Presidents Share Nothing in Common
April 5th, 2009 · 11 Comments
Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama share several things in common: Both were lawyers; both served in the Illinois legislature; and both were elected president of the United States. When it comes to the issue of slavery, however, the men share nothing in common. While President Lincoln worked hard to earn a place in modern [...]

Experts, from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office to Democrat economists, believe that these plans put America on a glide-path to [...]

EARMARX: Combination of Socialism, Spending
March 10th, 2009 · 2 Comments
Almost a week ago, I published post in which I announced the coining of a new term, EARMARX. Simple to understand, it couples the word used to describe wasteful federal government spending (i.e., “earmarks”) with the last name of a person who will forever be associated with socialism (i.e., “Marx”): EARMARKS + SOCIALISM = EARMARX [...]
