Viewpoint: Why I voted for the debt ceiling compromise

Viewpoint: Why I voted for the debt ceiling compromise MLive.com
"The simple truth is, this isn’t the end of the fight.
We must continue to listen to you and fight to wrest even deeper, faster spending cuts from the Senate and Administration, so we can return America to a strong, healthy economy.
I’m dedicated to achieving that, and I want to keep hearing from you about how we can better do that.
Where can we cut next?"

Very well stated, Bill!
Keep up the great work!

Liberal Rage Won't Stop the Tea Party's Rise

Liberal Rage Won't Stop the Tea Party's Rise John Samples Cato Institute: Commentary
"The tea-party contingent in Congress drove the Republican leadership to bargain harder than it otherwise would have on last week's debt-ceiling deal.
Liberals have rightly concluded that the tea party is changing political outcomes.
Their response has been to equate tea-party members with terrorists."

The American people are adamantly against Obama's unbridled spending.
The Tea Party is America's voice!

The most powerful man on Earth?

The most powerful man on Earth? - The Washington Post
"It’s not exactly fair to blame Obama for the rout:
Almost certainly, the markets ignored him.
And that’s the problem:
The most powerful man in the world seems strangely powerless, and irresolute, as larger forces bring down the country and his presidency."

Role model opposites: Snooki & Kirk Cousins

HICKS: Role model opposites: Snooki & Kirk Cousins - Washington Times
"I don’t know what is more depressing: the tanked economy or a nation enthralled with the antics of a dozen undereducated, overindulged, terminal adolescents whose only unifying traits are their ethnic heritage and a colossal sense of entitlement.
Perhaps what is most incomprehensible to me is that the entitled attitudes of the “Jersey Shore” characters are expected, and even admired.
Five years ago, a survey of Americans found 83 percent believed our youth felt more entitled than 10 years previously.
And that was long before MTV’s “Jersey Shore” elevated “sense of entitlement” to “rock star” status.

In the 12- to 34-year-old demographic, the “Jersey Shore” season opener scored an 8.2 rating, or 6.5 million viewers.
If only a fraction of those young people instead watched a video of another 20-something American guy: Michigan State University quarterback Kirk Cousins."
