1. Want to Save Real Money in D.C.?, Women now compose half the U.S. workforce. So let’s do a victory-lap for gender equality and stop the feminist set-asides and quota-mongering, by Carey Roberts, Pajamas Media, 1/31/11
Bigotry and discrimination is always wrong. When it id done by government, it is the sign of a totalitarian State, not a free nation.
"Let’s be clear: These feminist programs are not about promoting equal opportunity. Au contraire, mon frere. These “female-empowerment” initiatives are all about sex-based quotas, preferences, and earmarks that in practice serve to disadvantage men in schools, in the workplace, and in the legal system.
To its credit, the RSC proposes to axe these feminist social-engineering programs:
Martin Luther King was right, the Democrats are wrong--and they are bigots. Remember, when the South protected segregation, ti was the Democrats in charge.
2. Government 'investment' doesn't create jobs; the private sector does, By: Examiner Editorial, Washington Examiner, 01/30/11
President Reagan said it best, "Government is not the solution, it is the problem. Government tax policies kill innovation. Government environmental policies cause American jobs to go to other nations. ObamaCare is guaranteed to bring our quality system down to the level of Cuba. The stimulus propped up corrupt unions. TARP gave the crony corporations General Electric the most bank bail out money and it is NOT A BANK.
Want to kill jobs, get the government involved.
"With unemployment remaining above 9 percent and showing no signs of going down any time soon, there's lots of talk in Washington about job creation. For President Obama and congressional Democrats, unemployment is an opportunity for government "investment" in massive public works projects such as manufacturing solar shingles and building high-speed rail lines. At best, such big-spending projects by the federal government mainly create temporary jobs while building things of dubious consumer value. More often, these government spending projects funnel tax dollars to Democratic political allies like the unions that benefit from Project Labor Agreements. These PLAs bar nonunion workers, thereby driving up costs to taxpayers."
3. The Tribune, other papers, in hedge fund’s hands, By paul beebe, The Salt Lake Tribune, 1/29/11
Money losing newspapers, where we are supposed to get news and information are being turned over to Hedge Funds, the sharks of the financial world. Their connection to reporting is the creative annual reports they produce.
"Quiet partner » The newspaper industry knows little about the inner workings of Alden, a hedge fund that has been quietly making investments in distressed media companies for three years, while its representatives repeatedly ignore requests for interviews. They did not respond to several requests for comments for this story.
Alden’s buying spree is certain to have important implications for newspapers. Today, the fund is said to own a substantial part of MediaNews, whose holdings consist of 61 daily papers and about 100 nondailies. By the latter gauge, MediaNews is the No. 2 newspaper chain in the U.S. The remainder of the Denver-based chain is owned by a consortium of lenders and by Singleton himself."
Wall Street, not main street, now controls the media in this nation. Special interests instead of community interests will be found on the news and editorial pages. Glad we have talk radio, Fox News and dozens of web site, left and right, for information.
4. Spain's Jobless Rate Surges to 20.33%, AFP/Yahoo! News, 1/31/11
Spain is a socialist nation. Many of its health care, environmental and unionist laws are the same as ours. For instance, you would think Al Gore is their environmental czar. They are pushing "green". Yet for every "green job created. 2.5 real jobs are killed.
"Spain announced Friday its jobless rate surged to a 13-year record above 20 percent at the end of 2010, the highest level in the industrialized world, as the economy struggled for air. It was more bad news for an economy fighting to regain the trust of financial markets and avoid being trapped in a debt quagmire that has engulfed Greece and Ireland and now menaces Portugal."
5. Why Democrats Won’t Let States Go Bankrupt, Capitol Commentary, 1/31/11
For several years New York, Illinois, in affect California, Michigan, Ohio and other big States were owned and controlled by the Democrat Party and their owners, the unions. Now these states are on the brink of bankruptcy--though all ARE bankrupt, just refuse to admit it. So, if the new governors of all these States admit to being bankrupt, they will be admitting that Democrats have done the deed.
"There are quite a few fiscally unhealthy American states. According to a recent ABC news story, $500 billion more was spent collectively by all 50 states than came in from revenue. States such as Kalifornia are so heavily in debt that their credit rating is lower than the country of Kazakhstan. These states are burdened by heavy Big Union pension costs. For fiscal year 2008 there was a $1 trillion gap between outgoing pension liabilities and incoming revenue. In fact, only two states had enough money on hand to fund at least 50% of what they owed retired Big Union employees (Alaska and Arizona).
When you spend too much and you just can’t pay your bills anymore there’s only one legal solution: go belly up."
Democrats will do whatever they can to protect Unions--even at the cost of higher taxes, families, jobs and children.

To its credit, the RSC proposes to axe these feminist social-engineering programs:
- U.S. Agency for International Development, including its innocent-sounding Women in Development program — $1.4 billion
- Legal Services Corporation, which helps low-income women get quickie divorces so fathers can’t see their kids — $420 million
- Title X Family Planning — $318 million
- Women’s Educational Equity Act of 2001 — $3 million
