Tax Cuts Don’t Equal Tax Reform!
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been wanting to pull a Tax Reform initiative out of his hat for years. And now the talk around tax reform is front and center as the GOP controls both houses of Congress and the White House. But the current resident of the White House, President Donald […]
We’ve written about universal health care a number of times. How it would encourage more entrepreneurs to start businesses knowing that they had health insurance, how small business owners wouldn’t have to compete for talent with bigger businesses because they couldn’t provide health insurance, and how employees would be more mobile because they didn’t have […]
Damn Those Federal Mandated Insurance Programs!
One of the slams on the Affordable Care Act by the GOP are the mandates requiring Americans to buy health insurance. Anyone who’s followed the conversation knows that the mandate is in the law so that young healthier Americans are forced to participate to help offset the cost for older or less healthy participants. But […]
Conclusion Drawn From The Cassidy-Graham Bill
There are some things that only the federal government can handle effectively…national defense, interstate commerce, a monetary system, and I’d like to add to that health care.
One of the key points of the Cassidy-Graham Healthcare Bill was taking the subsidies and supports currently part of the Affordable Care Act and dispensing them to the […]
Make America Great Again by Selling One Piece At a Time to Asia
I am focusing mostly on Wisconsin at the moment…but first we have Foxconn who will buy some prime Wisconsin real estate, take advantage of local municipal resources, and get a big kick back from the taxpayers of Wisconsin…while the profits go off to Taiwan.
Next we have Governor Scott Walker touring Japan and South Korea, […]
The Unremarkable Hypocrisy of Paul Ryan!
Four days ago, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was complaining that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi were playing politics with the federal relief response for Hurricane Harvey with their 3 month proposed budget continuation and debt ceiling hike…really Paul? Weren’t you playing politics in the same manner by […]
The Unremarkable Hypocrisy of the Senate GOP
Back in the day when Hurricane Sandy had had her way with the east coast of the United States, Senator Ted Cruz (R – Texas) voted against the hurricane relief bill. When Hurricane Harvey was targeting Texas, the good senator was supporting federal relief for where ever Harvey made landfall in Texas. Needless to say […]
DACA Statement from President Donald J. Trump Annotated
The Washington Post provided an annotated version of the president’s statement on the repeal of DACA. Click here to find the document and a video of Attorney General Jeff Sessions looking about as smugly proud of himself as he can be.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was instituted under President Barack […]
The Unemployed Should Be On To Houston: A New Diaspora?
The devastation in Houston is overwhelming and Texas Governor Greg Abbott is estimating costs to recover will be $180 – 200 Billon. No small potatoes…and they are going to be short of laborers to do the work…and would like to employ the undocumented laborers all ready on site. That’s another story I would like to […]
Paul Ryan Still Hasn’t Had a Real Town Hall Meeting.
But he knows how to pretend he has! From his email on Friday (which includes a link to the coverage of his controlled CNN town hall that even limited attendance by the media):
“The people of Wisconsin are my employers and you elected me to focus on your problems.”
Paul works for you […]
