For now this is a private program, but don’t think for a second that it isn’t perking up the ears of the welfare state proponents in Washington, DC: If you are struggling to buy food and supplies for your pets, there may be help for you. Pets are like members of the family, so when [...]

Filed Under Economy, Moonbats, Science & Nature | 14 Comments

If it’s warmer than usual, that’s evidence of man-caused climate change. And now politicians who are killing the economy and putting people out of work (where they all too often stay) can [...]

Filed Under Economy, Politics | 19 Comments

If the AP thinks it’s getting bad now, wait until the economy starts to fully absorb Obamacare. Or should I say, until Obamacare starts to absorb the economy. Bring on the “unexpectedly” for the 48th straight month: The U.S. economy posted a stunning drop of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter, defying expectations for slow [...]

Say it ain’t so: In a blog post on the New York Times website, columnist Paul Krugman says no to serving as treasury secretary. Which is clarifying, even though he was never offered the job anyway. “Yes, I’ve heard [...]
