Federal Deficit: Did Someone Forget How Budgets Work? — It’s Spending AND Revenue

It’s not about blame, it’s about facts, and when it comes to the federal budget, and more specifically the year-after-year trillion-dollar plus deficits, it seems people need a few lessons.

Demonizing Wealth? Have You Paid Attention To Who Is Prospering Lately?

The bill would ban undocumented immigrants from obtaining a driver’s license.

Who Would Britain Vote For?
Here in Europe we simply do not understand how the race for the White House between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney is so close. Our media portrays Barack Obama as a solid statesman who faces opponents which are nothing more than out of touch, anti-abortionist, religious extremist fools, who are lead by a man who has spent his career hoarding gold bullion in case the system of paper money collapses.
