Rep. Paul Ryan’s Standing Ovation

Courageous statesmen do exist, and every now and then, their willingness to take incredible criticism is acknowledged by grateful constituents. Check out this video of a town hall featuring Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

Let’s Just to Continue to Wear Blinders

I continue to marvel at the selfishness of the many advocates for more reckless spending, whether at the federal, state, or local level. They choose to ignore the stark fiscal reality that faces us. Latest example: In Durham, teachers and advocates for Big Education “demand” that Durham school board members “be brave” and advocate for “a budget that protects all programs and positions.”

These folks are either incredibly clueless or breathtakingly selfish. Just where do they think the money comes from? And do you think they’ve given one second of thought about the burden they so cavalierly expect others  to shoulder so that their “demand” is met?
