COMMENT OF THE DAY "Obama delivers a speech to the Iranian people in his native tongue 'Farcy'."

STOP POSTURING on the backs of dead Marines. It's unseemly (to say the very least).

MAGPUL INDUSTRIES: If Hickenlooper signs the gun bill Wednesday, we’re leaving Colorado. I'd like to recommend Virginia, but too much of it is too close to D.C.

HE'LL BE A PERFECT FIT as a paid Democrat activist.

FRUGALITY IS FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.

AS I PREDICTED: Are we experiencing an off-the-books boom?

AUSTRALIAN CARBON TAX contributes to record number of businesses insolvencies. And they'll be emitting even less CO2....

OUT OF IDEAS, governments try a bank heist. Bonnie and Clyde, Willie Sutton, Pretty Boy Floyd, John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson, if they were alive today, would be comfortable working for government.

QUIT PAYING PHYSICIANS. Pay bureaucrats instead.

Am I the only one who has noticed: that, in general, government and 'public service' bureaucrats are among the highest paid? And that they're never let go, even in the direst economic circumstances?

POLITICAL CALCULATIONS: In Which We Explain How Cuts in R&D Spending Can Affect GDP to President Obama.

To understand why spending cuts like those of the sequester are considered to be so much less harmful to the economy than increasing taxes, let’s consider the real nature of government spending and taxes.

Here, when government raises taxes to support its discretionary spending, what it is doing is hurting a lot of people a little to benefit just a handful of politically-connected people, who just coincidentally happen to benefit a lot from government contracts (wink-wink). Because the harm is so widespread and the benefit limited to so few, the general economy suffers quite a bit as a result. Those effects are worse when the threat of additional tax increases remain after tax rate hikes are implemented.

But when a government cuts its spending, those dynamics work in reverse. Instead of lots of people being harmed a little, only a handful of people are. And since those people are significantly less likely to be engaged in sustainable economic activity in the first place, the economy at large is barely affected when their access to taxpayer money to fund their business income is reduced.

And that, in a nutshell, is why spending cuts are better for the economy than tax hikes for balancing a government’s budget.

OBAMA HALTS GLOBAL WARMING BY EXECUTIVE ORDER: "President Obama has apparently halted global warming by a secret executive order, which, amongst other things, commands the seas to stop rising, the world to begin to heal and the Chevy Volt assembly line to show a profit in 2013 despite a MSRP of $39,999, less $7,500 in government rebates."
