Ideologues! In this ongoing discussion of extending Bush Tax Cuts and the Estate Tax, the left continues to use false phrases like “paying for the tax cut.” The only thing with explicit costs in Government, is spending, not Tax Rates, you simply lower spending. However, Liberals believe it’s the Government Money that the Government is allowing you to have. No better proof of this core belief than Congressman Anthony Weiner’s screed with Megyn Kelly yesterday about the “Estate Tax.” Gibson examines it. Mercy! A New Gallup Poll Shows Americans support extending the Bush Tax Cuts but they also support, overwhelmingly in some cases, the Extension of Unemployment Benefits. Are they uninformed of the consequences or just more empathetic than nasty Right Wingers. Gibson judges. Plus: 42 Million now on Food Stamps too!

inflation.us Prepare and Sign Up! Welcome to the Greater Depression As the unemployed and jobless become desperate in California many begin turning their homes into income generators. One house in particular caught my eye recently by turning their living room into a restaurant. In a sign that America is slowly becoming more like a third world country houses become weekend stores, restaurants, Medical Marijuana Collectives, day care centers and beyond. The street is telling the story of the unfolding economic collapse better than any article I can read. Unemployment and Food stamps and Welfare seem to be the lynch pins in our society on the west coast. Once government runs out of funds to support these entitlements, I fear for my children’s future.
