Pensions and Promises
"A pension war is brewing — and it's likely to pit state and municipal employees against citizens who foot the bill for government pension plans with their state tax dollars."
Important stuff you won't get from the liberal media! We do the surfing so you can be informed AND have a life!

At the dawn of the Obama Administration we have witnessed: four high-level appointees blow up over various issues, tax and otherwise (Richardson, Daschel, and Killefer get axed; Geitner stays); the appointment of at least 12 lobbyists to positions in the Administration — in direct contradiction of campaign promises; a pork-laden economic stimulus bill without precedent in US history; and the reversal of campaign positions concerning controversial policies like rendition.
But hey, it’s only been two weeks."

"GVSU President Thomas Haas said a further drop in state funding would hurt students. His school's tuition has increased 42 percent since 2004, in part because state aid has been mostly flat or declining.
This year, GVSU raised tuition $1,000, a 13-percent hike -- the largest in its history"
Absolutely NO mention of teacher and staff pay and benefit increases!
It's like that has NO affect on student/parent tuition!

Does anyone notice that every time an "expert" is quoted by any government flack and reported by their comrades in the liberal media, the expert ALWAYS says we (TAXPAYERS!) are not paying enough?
I suppose any "expert" that suggested the state has enough money wouldn't find to many jobs as an "expert".
And don't ya love the "we need to find another source of funding" synonym from the guys who spent all the money?

"The National Bureau of Economic Research revealed, 'the value of pension promises already made by U.S. state governments will grow to approximately $7.9 trillion in just 15 years.'"
This is money taken from "the rest of us" (that's you and me) and delivered to teachers, and state, county and local retirees.

Marketing Solar Panels to Fifth-Graders

Marketing Solar Panels to Fifth-Graders
"Employees of the Sharp Electronics Corporation were at Joyce Kilmer Elementary School in Mahwah, N.J., recently to teach a lesson on climate change and renewable energy. The cartoon image of an ailing Earth — a thermometer sticking out of its mouth — was the opening slide in their presentation.
Climate change and energy are complex issues, so I was interested to observe how they would be distilled by the Japanese electronics giant — and one of the world’s largest makers of solar panels — to an audience of 10- and 11-year-olds. I recently sat in the back of a fifth-grade class and listened in.
Martha Harvey, an associate manager in Sharp’s strategic marketing division, started the class by asking, “Who knows what climate change is?” She called on a few raised hands and received guesses of “A change of weather?” and “A change of climate?” before offering her own answer:
“It turns out that the temperature of the Earth is actually rising,” she said."
It works for al Qaeda in their madrassas.

Marion Barry for Drug Czar
Best of the Web Today: Marion Barry for Drug Czar
By JAMES TARANTO
If a certain sort of conservative tends to be moralistic about sex, liberals tend to be moralistic about money. That makes Tom Daschle the equivalent of a televangelist caught in a sex scandal.
Daschle, now President Obama's nominee for secretary of health and human services, was first elected to Congress in 1978 as a Democrat from South Dakota. In 2004, in the final throes of the Bush majority, voters ousted him from the Senate.
Forced into the private sector, he returned to Aberdeen, S.D., and eked out a living growing wheat on the Daschle family farm. As if! Actually, he stayed in Washington, joined a lobbying firm--albeit as a 'special policy adviser,' since as a former senator he was prohibited by law from 'lobbying'--and raked in the bucks. The prairie populist became a plutocrat, as the Washington Post reports:
Without becoming a registered lobbyist, he made millions of dollars giving public speeches and private counsel to insurers, hospitals, realtors, farmers, energy firms and telecommunications companies with complex regulatory and legislative interests in Washington.
Daschle's expertise and insights, gleaned over 26 years in Congress, earned him more than $5 million over the past two years, including $220,000 from the health-care industry, and perks such as a chauffeured Cadillac, according to the documents.
We thought of a catchy term for people who claim to be tribunes of the poor while getting driven around by a chauffeur. We're going to call them 'limousine liberals.'
Anyway, there was one little 'glitch,' as the Washington Post calls it. Daschle, who in 1998 said, 'Make no mistake, tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter' "

"Is Barack Obama an insensitive lout who serves $100 per pound steaks to his elite guests and turns up the heat in the White House high enough to grow orchids while a million of his countrymen are without power and dozens are freezing to death? If not, why not?
Solely because that is not the story the media want to tell. Many on the web--but no one in the mainstream media--have commented on the fact that Obama has not even pretended to do anything about the massive ice storm that has disabled much of Kentucky and neighboring states. It took days for FEMA to swing into action. Why is that not a scandal?"

Daschle -- And Solis, Too

Daschle -- And Solis, Too
"a new issue has arisen concerning another Obama cabinet nomination, that of Rep. Hilda Solis to be Secretary of Labor.
Solis had a rough hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee when she declined to answer all sorts of seemingly noncontroversial questions about her positions on basic labor issues. (Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus wrote a frustrated account of the hearing, asking, 'How can senators consent if they have no clue what policies they might be consenting to?') Now, some committee members want to know more about Solis' relationship with a pro-labor group called American Rights at Work. On the group's website, Solis is listed as a member of the board of directors, and she also served as Treasurer of the organization from 2004 to 2007. The question is whether Solis, who as a member of Congress is prohibited from lobbying Congress, fully disclosed her relationship with the group."
The "Leona Helmsley" democrats seem to lack..... gravitas... or are they simply crooks?

"'There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.'
~PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, JANUARY 9 , 2009
With all due respect Mr. President, that is not true.
There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy.
Notwithstanding reports that all economists are now Keynesians and that we all support a big increase in the burden of government, we the undersigned do not believe that more government spending is a way to improve economic performance.
More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s.
More government spending did not solve Japan’s “lost decade” in the 1990s.
As such, it is a triumph of hope over experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today.
To improve the economy, policymakers should focus on reforms that remove impediments to work, saving, investment and production.
Lower tax rates and a reduction in the burden of government are the best ways of using fiscal policy to boost growth."

"In a repeat of anti-Rush history (see 'vast right wing conspiracy,' et al), the White House broadside backfired ....... Rather than dividing the GOP, it united them.
Not a single Republican voted for the Obama plan after unprecedented wooing, courting, and cajoling.
The Rush Effect is incontestable.
Which begs the question: Why did Obama - who told House GOP leaders 'you can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done' - even bring him up?"
Could it be that "Barry and the libs" just don't get it?
