The high cost of delegates

Don Surber has calculated that each delegate cost Obama $101,249. One has to wonder if McIntyre’s vote was worth the cost? But I bet Obama will help McIntyre raise that much and more, now that Mike is “on the bus” for Denver.

Liberals moonbats in Congress have really screwed things up. Look at this - cross posted from awilltowin.blogspot.com
Liberals like Mike McIntyre think buying up feed corn to brew “Corn Likker” and putting it into our gas tanks is a new novel idea - he claims to be an NC native but he seems more like a […]

In World War II the people of the USA rallied to their country’s call with a patriotic effort to relieve pressure on the food production processes needed to feed our troops by growing food in their own backyards.
This war, which involves energy, should be producing a new “Victory Garden”. We should be developing energy sources […]

From the White House:
This Farm Bill Asks American Taxpayers To Support Still Higher Subsidies During A Time Of Record Farm Income
The United States’ booming farm economy makes it impossible to justify further increasing subsidy rates and establishing additional subsidies for some crops. With rising food prices and farm income at an […]

Taxpayers for Common sense on Cost overruns

The TCS Wastebasket
Congress Needs to Take On Cost Overruns — Too often, the lawmakers can’t agree on where there is waste in government. The problem is that everything in Washington, D.C. seems to have an army of lobbyists and powerful lawmakers playing defense at the slightest hint of trouble. But we think a recent […]

President has right ideas on energy!

Hillary wants to play with taxes this summer to give the illusion of “doing something” about gas prices. She would increase taxes on the oil companies to “offset” the loss to the treasury (begs the question - how will prices go down if the taxes on producers go up?). McCain also wants to suspend collection […]

Not much more than a year ago the Democrats took control of Congress and Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been promising big changes in how lobbyists work. The washington post said:
Odds are that lobbying in the House of Representatives is about to get harder.
If Democrats gain the 15 seats they need to win control of the […]

I’ve been ranting for a long while (since before I started blogging) that turning corn into a “fuel” was bad policy and stupid economically (except for “Big Corn”).
Turns out other people have finally come to the same conclusion.
At a weekend conference in Washington, finance ministers and central bankers of seven leading industrial nations called for […]

Politics driving up the price of oil

Posted on April 3, 2008 - Filed Under Reid, Pelosi, economic recession, Democrats, McIntyre, Hillary, Global Warming, Legislators, National Politics | Leave a Comment

Congress has just been told the truth about the price of oil - but they probably did not really understand it. In testimony to a Senate committee:
geopolitical tensions in big oil producing countries “provide the best explanation for crude oil price increases,” Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chief Economist Jeffrey Harris told a […]
