An Uphill Climb Just Isn’t That Fun

     Harry Reid is in DEEP trouble, and he knows it.  He is facing an opponent he has never faced before—a Conservative female Republican who thinks fast on her feet and actually knows what she is doing.  Reid is also facing another opponent he has never faced before—the Tea Party.  The Tea Party has Reid in its sights and it looks as if they just may make the kill.
     After the slugfest that was the Republican Senate primary in Nevada, they settled on Sharron Angle.  Angle, a former teacher turned state Senator, originally started way back in the polls from fellow Republicans Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian.  However, after the Tea Party learned about Angle, they decided to endorse her and send out their grassroots support for her.  This is what fueled her candidacy and helped her win the primary.  Angle is now going full steam against Reid.  She has already raised close to a million dollars and Jim DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund has already endorsed her and sent her money. 
     Even though Angle has the grassroots support behind her, she still has to unseat one of the most powerful politicans (and Democrats) in Congress.  Reid has a campaign war chest of $9 million and he has already unleashed a ruthless, lying campaign ad against her; claiming she wants to phase-out Social Security and Medicare, as well as many other outrageous claims.  If we are going to take back the Senate in 2010, we must push back against the Democrats’ crazy campaigning and fight back hard. 

Are You KIDDING Me, President Obama?

     President Obama laid out his brand-spanking new budget on Monday.  Instead of cutting spending drastically, President Obama has presented a 3.8 TRILLION dollar budget that does little more than tax too much, borrow too much, and spend too much.  In fact, this new budget will increase the one-year budget deficit to 1.6 TRILLION!
     We are in an economic war right now.  On one side are the special interests and the government.  On the other side are the Joe the Plumbers of this world; the regular, hard-working everyday people trying their hardest to make a living.  The middle class is getting put through the ringer.  It is getting harder and harder to accomplish the American Dream with taxes that keep getting higher, spending that is completely out of control, and a government that doesn't care if you eat cake or nothing.
     If President Obama wants to stimulate this shaky economy, he needs to do three things:

• Cut taxes on every single American and every single American business
• Drastically cut Federal government spending
• Stop the Federal Reserve from printing more and more money.

     Cutting taxes is a very easy to stimulate the economy.  By cutting taxes on people, Americans have more money in their pockets to spend and save.  By cutting taxes on businesses, they can afford to hire new workers.  That increases government revenues because all those new employees pay income taxes and payroll taxes, therefore broadening the Federal tax base.

     Cutting government spending is another great way to stimulate the economy because it ends the cycle of waste that is hurting us today.  By cutting spending, the Federal budget will finally be balanced therefore allowing for economic growth and increasing consumer confidence.  Increasing consumer confidence encourages Americans to spend money therefore stimulating the economy. 

     Stopping the Federal Reserve from printing more and more money is yet another way to stimulate the economy.  When the Federal Reserve prints money out of thin air every day, inflation is increased because prices have to increase to account for the larger amount of cash floating around.  Therefore, stopping the printing of money puts a cap on inflation and lets people afford more.

     The thing we all must realize is that the Obama administration and Congress don't care whether the economy is stimulated or not.  All they care about is lining their pockets while they pick yours and increasing their power while yours is stripped away from you.
