California raises taxes, revenues in free fall … unexpectedly! [Darleen Click]
Wow, who woulda thunk? State Controller John Chiang today released his monthly report covering California’s cash balance, receipts and disbursements in November 2012, showing total revenues were $806.8 million below (-10.8 percent) projections contained in the 2012-13 State budget. “November’s disappointing revenues stand in stark contrast to recent news that California is leading the nation in job growth, has significantly improved its cash liquidity to pay bills, and even long-distressed

“‘Whatever it takes’ cleverness is one way to run a government”
If that government happens to be a tyranny. Want to see how it works? Here, have a gander. I have news for you all: the postmodern presidency is intended to usher in liberal fascism while keeping the optics of “fairness” as the focal point. For the useful idiots. And it is doing just that. The “most transparent administration evah!” is actually the most secretive in my lifetime. And yes, I

In case you missed it: coalition letter on taxpayer protection pledge
Seems not everybody is buying the, “I’m breaking my pledge because I love my country, and how dare you question my patriotism!” high-dudgeon on offer by several of the Republican surrendercrats. Dear Republican Members of Congress, We, the undersigned organizations, who represent millions of Americans dedicated to fiscal restraint, have read in dismay some members of Congress will consider raising taxes to address the upcoming “Fiscal Cliff.” Specifically, some members

“73% of New Jobs Created in Last 5 Months Are in Government”

Why, it’s almost as if one were to take out a slide rule or a fancy calculator or even an abacus, they could find some kind of correlation — if not causation — between the expansion of government, the shrinking of the private sector, and the continued horror of obstinately high unemployment rates. Were one so invested, I mean.
