Defense Spending, Appropriations Bills, And Surveillance State Create A Leviathan-Sized Accounting Labyrinth

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I am dealing with a decimal percentage five zeroes to the right of the decimal point of what the Congress or Senate is dealing with on just one of these appropriations bills.

Will Congress Raise The Debt Ceiling? Of Course They Will!

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Speaker of the House John Boehner and company plan to begin dealing with this this week. There are a couple plans out there.

An Actual Founding Father’s Inaugural Address – No Egos Here

Let me read to you how a Founding Father accepted his inauguration. This will come as a shock to you people, but I actually have here in my hands the text of Thomas Jefferson’s first inaugural address. Yes, even back then those old fuddy-duddy guys in white stockings and powdered wigs gave addresses when they were inaugurated. The striking thing about Jefferson’s inauguration is the humility and the humble attitude […]

War-Hungry GOP Wants To Spend Money On War But Not To Feed The Children

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Since you’re not going to end the program, and since you’re not going to end all manner of foreign transfer payments, whether it’s foreign aid or Bernyankme shoveling money off to banks in foreign lands, since none of this is going to stop, why in dude’s holy name would you allow this to be branded as and to come at the expense of women, […]

Rand Paul Can Live With $2.6 Trillion Worth Of Government, And That’s A Good Thing

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Rand Paul’s statement that he can live with $2.6 trillion worth of government, to me, is a dropping of the gauntlet. I don’t believe you people out there or your neighbors out there in the states can live with $2.6 trillion worth of leviathan. Here comes the other rub. Whether you have one-third of the largesse you currently enjoy, more than a third, half […]

Instead Of Outsourcing Parking, Cities Should Offer Leases To Private Property Owners

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – My proposition is very simple. I don’t have an issue or a problem with an incorporated city managing any property that they own and selling parking services. What I have a problem with and what I have suggested is what the city ought to do is get out of the business, totally out of the business of parking. Just get out of it. Fire […]

The Problem Is Big Government And We Need To Find A Solution

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – If you really want to do something about it, here’s a word for you to research and think about all weekend long: secession. [mocking] “Why don’t you get in line with the rest of us? Why do you keep going to that? You know it’s not going to happen. Why do you keep talking about it?” I keep bringing it up because it forces […]
