Because federal judges—including Supreme Court Justice [...] From Global Economic Trend Analysis: The Wall Street Journal has a nice interactive map that lets you “Make Your Own Deficit-Reduction Plan.” I balanced the budget easily without doing things that I think need to be done, such as eliminating the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, slashing military spending by 35%, etc., etc. Increased Revenues Under the category of “revenue increases,” I clicked everything except… • • • A week after losing the presidential election to President Obama, Mitt Romney blamed his overwhelming electoral loss on what he said were big “gifts” that the president had bestowed on loyal Democratic constituencies — including young voters, African-Americans and Hispanics. In a conference call on Wednesday afternoon with his national finance committee, Mr. Romney said that the president had followed the “old playbook” of wooing specific interest groups — “especially the [...] A top Democrat strategist and donor who served as President Obama’s lead auto-industry adviser recently conceded that the rationing of heath services under Obamacare is “inevitable.” Steven Rattner advocated that such rationing should target elderly patients, while stating, “We need death panels.” Rattner serves on the board the New America Foundation, or NAF, a George Soros-funded think tank that was instrumental in supporting Obamacare in 2010. Soros’ son, financier Jonathan Soros, is [...] I first met Mitt Romney in 2005. I was very impressed. I described him in this magazine as “informal, conversational, enthusiastic and speedy.” Mitt Romney? Yes, indeed. But then, we were talking about something he really believed in, or seemed to: his universal health care plan for Massachusetts, which included an individual mandate–an idea I’d admired since it was proposed by Stuart Butler of the Heritage Foundation in 1989. Romney’s [...] (CNSNews.com) – Sign up or pay up. The City of Chicago is urging its employees and their eligible spouses to join the city’s “innovative wellness program,” or else pay an additional $50 a month for their health care plan. “Our program will change lives, make our workforce healthier, and save taxpayers money,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said on Thursday. “It will only work if people join, and I’m so pleased to report [...] Yovany Gonzalez, a mortgage broker, fired three days before his daughter MacKenzie had a costly cancer operation Wells Fargo shareholders split $16bn in profits last year Wells Fargo fired an employee over the cost of treating his daughter’s terminal cancer with company health care coverage, according to a lawsuit [...] Lobbyists from Coca-Cola and other big soda companies have met with mayoral candidates and City Council members.

Dionne Jr., Published: May 24 To secure his standing as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney has disowned every sliver of moderation in his record. He’s moved to the right on tax cuts and twisted himself into a pretzel over the health-care plan he championed in Massachusetts — because conservatives are no longer allowed to acknowledge that government can improve citizens’ lives. Romney is simply following the lead of [...] I typically use unbiased or progressive sources for my news and politics, so for one week i decided to limit myself to conservative shows on Fox and websites like the DrudgeReport. I had of course seen clips from Fox shows and even caught an episode or two years ago but I hadn’t sat down for multiple episodes in a row like a true fan. My thesis going into my little experiment [...] Obama deals in “typical Washington political gamesmanship that has gotten us exactly nowhere” Steve Watson Describing president Obama’s State Of The Union Speech as “rhetoric” and “bragging”, GOP presidential candidate Ron paul said in a statement today that “Instead of offering solutions to the problems our country faces, the President was intent on delivering a campaign speech.” The Congressman added that Obama’s speech dealt “in the typical Washington political gamesmanship that [...] From the Ron Paul 2012 website: “Tonight, President Obama once again showed that he does not represent the fundamental change this country needs.

In an open letter to the Perry camp, Paul campaign spokesman Jesse Benton hammers the three-term governor’s record and accuses Mr. Perry of acting like a Democrat during his long political career. Mr. [...] NJ Chet Susslin Participants hand in resumes and talk with employers at a job fair in Washington last month.

That means that it might not create a single job, no matter how [...] SEATTLE — The financially strapped U.S. Postal Service is proposing to cut its workforce by 20 percent and to withdraw from the federal health and retirement plans because it believes it could provide benefits at a lower cost.

The past decade was the hottest on record. Unemployment remains stuck near 9 percent, and there’s a small, albeit real, possibility that the U.S. government will default on its debt. So what’s dominating the news?
