Tea Party Babies! I want to talk economics with you. In the annals of the American Economy there was a golden age where we did not face a choice between Big Government and Big Business. Back before FDR, there was

I’ll keep this short. No one understands “what” is going to be cut. Saying discretionary spending is going to be cut over ten years sounds like a Nigerian email scam. So please Boehner, for the love of god, listen to

Sen. McConnell’s contingency plan on the debt ceiling is to pay $2.5T to topple Obama. And if I were 100% SURE it would end IMPOTUS, I’d support it. But since there is no guarantee, it’s better to gird our loins

Ok, Tea Partiers… this is a gift from the Guerrilla Hacker Gods – so please pass it along. Obama’s team has decided to “raffle off” dinner with IMPOTUS. That’s right… you can sit and tell the President directly to his

New from Econ Stories (an Emergent Order joint) the music video Paul Krugman refused to pole dance in…. [youtube GTQnarzmTOc]

In my last post, I explained the best way to end unemployment is an Ebay / Paypal style solution to auction off the “Man Weeks” of our unemployed: All registered workers are guaranteed an income of $10,400 per year, at

I’m about to perform a healing. For those non-believers out there… like magic, it will terrify and then delight you. Maybe it’ll scare the jesus into you. I warn even the staunchest Christian; this will test your mettle. It will

The contractual mortgage screw-up by the banks gives us a great way to speed up the recovery and reclaim what was lost in the the Great Bank Heist of 2008. If you haven’t been paying attention to the MERS violations,

The challenge for the Tea Party movement is to identify specifically: What would you do?” the president said. “It’s not enough to say ‘get control of spending.’ I think it’s important for you to say, ‘I’m willing to cut veterans’

Democrats have been protesting that only 3% of small businesses are affected by the Bush tax cuts… this is technically true, it is also true that almost all the small businesses that create jobs are part of this 3%. The

I have a hypothesis about the “New Normal” economy we face. Most, if not all, of the unemployment crisis can be blamed on Public Employees. A bold statement to some…. but on paper it looks suspiciously valid. Essentially, upper and

A good looking, fun loving guy sits down and writes a few blog posts about how to ensure the Republican Party wins both houses in a 2010 landslide, and beat Obama’s ass in 2012… he figures his job is done.

A recent blog post by economist Scott Sumner got me thinking about another way we could quickly improve our government. We should require Public Employees to take personality exams before they are hired. At issue is human “spite” and how

I don’t care if he sleeps with SEIU and AFGE, mad props to my favorite cartoon character…. Baby Huey. Audit The Fed. [youtube pE3oiKuU8UI]

Many fine Republicans argue we should privatize Social Security. Just like George Bush – they are right. They are noble. They are dust. The last time we mentioned it, we found our ass booted around our neck. An obscene daisy.

In my last article, we began a discussion of GOV2.0. Over the next couple weeks, I’ll sketch some sexy details. Commenters, keep tossing out your ideas. Tea Partiers! Here’s how to save every state budget. Let’s hoist our pirate flag

Right off the bat, hear my barbaric yawp: “Less Government!” I want to strip the bark off and tenderize the tough meat of Uncle Sam until he heels without so much as a cross look from likely voters. I want

I just made a donation in Michelle Malkin’s honor to the GOP. Let me say right up front, I’m not a religious guy. I support Republicans because they are the party of Small Business, they are the party of Liberty.

Starting today, the RNC should offer Free Passes to targeted Congressional Democrats who will agree to vote NO on health care. The Free Pass should include: A guarantee no national money will be used against the Democrat in the general

As Republicans are preparing for the Press Event with Obama on Thursday, I’d like to see a specific point be made with regard to costs. Something like this: “Mr. President, our plan removes the barriers to Interstate Insurance sales, so

I’m sure Ms. Monica Potts, is a delightful person and in polite company never wets on the carpet as some of us are want to do. And history teaches when a lady speaks ill of me, I surely have earned

In a recent post, I posited unemployment insurance should be reformed to offset the minimum wage for new small businesses hires. Please continue in comments to help me brainstorm. This is a “free stimulus,” because it uses current unemployment payments

The Greek Comedy that is playing out in Europe shows the tremendous impact one man can have on the world in his lifetime. The fellow we owe an attaboy and backslap is Nobel Prize winner Robert Mundell, who I’d argue

Arianna once again has her panties in a bunch, and I’m the libertarian brave enough to reach in and fix them. Yes, it’ll drive Huffington into spastic frenzy. But, this is not a reason to subsidize the minimum wage. David

If there’s anything that should convince China to become more capitalist, and put less faith in socialism, it is American progressives. Yesterday Matthew Yglesias’ head shook violently and he barked out like Paul Krugman with Tourette’s : …you could start

Slate’s Jacob Weisberg came unhinged on Friday and gave the country the finger. “Down with the People!” he screams from Bill Gates lap. As Jacob sees it, we the people are demanding two mutually exclusive things: premium government services and

The ugly truth about the health care debate can be summed up by the nightmare created by reality television: non-union actors (who we call “scabs” during strikes) are threatening the long standing system by jumping into the pool without regard

Janeane does it for me. I’ll admit it. She’s spunky but malleable, and I like malleable spunky… so I’m going to tax her less. Let me be frank, the Hollywood is liberal vibe is a shallow truism. It is shallow
