Senate Democrats claimed last week that they would cut $6.5 billion from the 2011 budget, which has still not even been passed yet. But last night, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report saying that the Senate Democrats’ plan was off by almost $2 billion and would actually only cut $4.7 billion. This error, […]
CU President David Bossie offers a solution to rein in the national debt: In the coming weeks, Congress will consider legislation to raise the debt ceiling. In fact, to actually call it a debt “ceiling” is one of the biggest frauds in the American political lexicon. As our government continues to spend without paying for […]
Guest post on Cagle regarding the budget gimmicks President Obama has been using: The numbers being floated around by President Obama and Congressional Democrats during this year’s budget battle are all spin and sleight of hand. Not that this should surprise anyone – the President has a history of using smoke and mirrors – especially […]
CU President David Bossie opines on the cultural roots of our current budget battle: The current economic crisis is not a failure of capitalism, but a failure of culture.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Newsmax.tv’s Kathleen Walter to discuss everything from unions to debt to Ronald Reagan to President Obama: President Barack Obama’s Chicago-style politics and “union thugocracy” are at work in Wisconsin in an effort to undermine Gov.

Florida District Judge Roger Vinson, who in January ruled Obamacare unconstitutional, today put the Obama Administration on notice that it needs to expedite its appeal to either the appellate court or the United States Supreme Court within seven days.

Michael Moore is at it again. His latest rant is about the wealthy in America: “They’re sitting on the money, they’re using it for their own — they’re putting it someplace else with no interest in helping you with your life, with that money. We’ve allowed them to take that. That’s not theirs, that’s a […]
Congressman Patrick Meehan, a member of the Homeland Security Committee in the House of Representatives, said that the killing of two U.S. Airmen in Frankfurt, Germany today may have been a terrorist attack. The shooter reportedly said in Arabic, “God is Great,” before he started his attack on the Airmen. This act of terror is a sad […]
A new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released this morning spells out exactly why big government simply does not work. The GAO report highlights $200 billion in wasteful spending on redundant programs. A couple hundred billion here, a couple hundred billion there, pretty soon you’re talking about real money – namely our $14 trillion national debt! […]
Our op-ed in The Daily Caller on Democrats changing their tune on CU v. FED: As President Obama and the national Democrat establishment gear up for their billion-dollar-plus 2012 election campaign, insiders connected to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are hatching plans to protect the tenuous Senate Democrat majority. These Reid insiders are forming a […]
The last known American veteran of the “Great War” passed away over the weekend. Frank W. Buckles lied his way into the army at the age of 16 to serve his country during WWI. Mr. Buckles once said of America, “If your country needs you, you should be right there, that is the way I felt […]
