NEAL BOORTZ: Is there a Round-Up [the weed-killer kind] for Liberalism?

From my email.
NEWT GINGRICH: No U.S. troops in Syria.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH -- and red tape is even more expensive.
OBAMA PRAISES MARS ROVERS, criticizes sequestration for "hitting our scientific research". Does he not realize that the sequestration was his idea to begin with, and that Congress offered him the authority to minimize the damage?
THE PROBLEM with Social Security reform is that the government has already stolen the money.
IS CALIFORNIA the stupidest state in the Union? Yes. Next question?
NO LONGER A DREAM? Let's move to Mars.
HURRICANE ON SATURN.

OBAMACARE FAIL (AGAIN):
Washington has a bipartisan tradition of overspending in the current year while enacting spending cuts and tax increases that will take effect in later years. Those “out-year” measures make the ten-year budget figures appear more responsible than they would if current-year policies were continued. When the out-year spending cuts and tax hikes are due to take effect, Washington rescinds them, and the cycle begins again. Congress has postponed planned cuts in Medicare physician payments every year for the past decade. This year, Obama rescinded cuts the PPACA would make to private Medicare plans, and both parties are lining up to repeal the law’s medical-device tax and the board it would create to reduce Medicare spending.
