Tuesday’s L.A. Times has an article by Peter Nicholas titled: “Adding up the cost of Obama’s agenda.”
Here’s a quote from the article:
Among other proposals during the course of the campaign, Obama has said he would strengthen the nation’s bridges and dams ($6 billion a year), help make men better fathers ($50 million a year) and […]

In yet another big flip-flop, Obama recently told the Military Times he has decided he actually would listen to the military commanders on the ground in Iraq, and not just pull out of Iraq immediately.
This is huge.
The central pillar of Obama’s platform has always been his pledge to immediately withdraw troops from Iraq. In fact, Obama has […]

Our country was founded on a war over a 3-cent tax imposed by out-of-touch politicians. What would those revolutionaries say today about the crushing tax burden politicians impose on hardworking Americans?
As we celebrate the Fourth of July, we MUST remember our founding fathers created this nation so that future generations of Americans would experience freedom […]

In a well researched, comprehensive opinion, the high court upheld the plain meaning of the Constitution’s second amendment. It was not only a triumph of common sense, but the clear meaning of the constitution according to the original intent of the founders. The court forbade bans and unreasonable restrictions, but left regulation where it should […]

There comes a time in all men’s lives when they are downtrodden, where they see nothing but dead-ends and roadblocks ahead, when they feel that all their endeavors are doomed to failure, and that all hope is lost. Fortunately though, those times are few and far between for Americans, and even then they seem to […]

Coast to Coast Insanity is here. 4 people count more than millions of voters and thousands of years of human wisdom. Word is out that the California Supreme Court has found that it is discriminatory to give civil unions to same sex couples and recognize marriage of only mixed sex couples. That is like saying it is discriminatory […]

In yet another country, conservatives have gained ground. British local elections have sent a shockwave through the Labor establishment. After a turn left from Blair, the party has disconnected with the British people. Labor lost the Regional election in the Scottish parliament and now 300 municipal seats. Let those who think that a conservative setback means […]

The BCG team reviewed potential efficiency opportunities within the state’s $1.65
