The threshold for determining if a family is living below the poverty level in 2011 is an income of $22,350 per year for a family of four. Keep this number in mind as we take a brief look at some older poverty numbers. This will shock you. Well, maybe it

What? There’s poverty in America? The latest statistics are in. The number of Americans living below the poverty line rose to a record 46 million in 2010, the largest in the 52 years since the Census Bureau has been publishing poverty estimates. How is this possible? The Great Society policies

Social Security is in the news. People are finally telling the truth: It’s a government sponsored Ponzi (Pyramid) scheme. In the beginning, the costs of Social Security were not that great and not everybody was in the system. In fact, Congress had exempted itself. Most federal and state workers were

The Uber-Liberal Daily Kos website has published Texas governor Rick Perry’s college transcripts. You can view them here. Perry was no scholar at Texas A&M University. He was a C student. Liberals see this as a disqualification for a presidential candidate. At least we have the governor’s transcripts. The same

Obama’s job speech was designed to trap Republicans. He’s counting on the economic “crisis” to give him the opportunity to manage the economy Soviet-style. Here’s how the president put it: “The question is whether, in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus and actually do

“I thought Jimmy Hoffa was dead.” A friend of mine made this comment as I was explaining how Jimmy Hoffa is getting away with his “sons of bitches” pro-union speech because the media are not covering it as they would if a Tea Party member had something like, “I think

Let’s play a game of “Let’s Suppose.” By now you’ve heard that a nut case entered an IHOP restaurant and shot eleven people. Three of them are dead. Two of them uniformed Army National Guardsmen. Was the shooter influenced by Jimmy Hoffa’s comments?: “Let’s take these son-of-a-bitches out and give

President Obama Declares (below) that he’s proud of Jimmy Hoffa after Hoffa declares “war” on the Tea Party and states that his Union is the President’s “army” to march and “take these sons of bitches out.” The pro-Union, pro-Democrat crowd goes wild. President Obama, as far as I know, has

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said the following on NBC’s “Meet the Press”: “I’m talking about a jobs program of a trillion dollars or more. We’ve got to put Americans to work. That’s the only way to revitalize this economy. When people work they earn money, they spend that money, and

President Obama’s economic adviser Gene Sperling blamed the economy the president inherited for today’s unemployment report with a jobless rate at 9.1%. Keep in mind that the president promised an unemployment figure of 8%. Sperling claimed that 11 million jobs had been “saved” due to the president’s spending policies. Here

The second rule of economics is TANSTAAFL: There Ain’t No Such Thing as a Free Lunch.1 The first law is, you shall not steal, even by majority vote. While something might appear to be free (e.g., education, healthcare, housing, etc.), there is always a cost to someone. Ignore this law,

Liberal talker Alan Colmes claims that Jesus “believed the rich should give to the poor.” Let’s assume that Colmes’ analysis of Jesus is correct. This is a far cry from saying that rich people should be taxed and that the government should give indiscriminately to the poor even though they

How could this administration be so lame on what it takes to create jobs? Maybe it’s because they want another crisis. Maybe this is a planned crisis. The latest economic news is bad. The stock market is down two percent. No jobs were created in August, the first time since

Islam is a worldview masquerading as a religion intent on world domination through fear, terror, and the ballot box. The talk from both ends of the political spectrum is that “democracy” will cure the ills of Iraq, Iran, Egypt, and the surrounding Muslim nations. What if the revolutionaries Egypt decide

Leftist Democrats are getting desperate, mean, slanderous, and borderline insane. The latest moral and mental outrage comes from Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.). Carson, the nation’s second Muslim Congressman and a member of the Congressional Black Congress, said the following: Some [of the members] in Congress right now of this Tea

“Three Christian crosses that stood on state property next to a scenic overlook in north San Diego County for decades were removed by California Department of Transportation workers earlier this week” Do you see the irony? The county of San Diego? The County of Saint James. The official emblem of

Trying to get elected as a third party candidate in America is extremely difficult if not impossible since the electing process is not by majority vote. Ballot access is also an obstacle since third parties have to meet additional criteria not required of Republicans and Democrats. A third-party presidential candidacy
