Dear Mr. President,
Recently you discussed wasteful military spending with Senator John McCain, who pointed out that a new naval helicopter assigned to you might reflect wasteful spending. Examples like this, however, aren’t the only examples - even in the Navy.
I am equally concerned about a past practice of having marginally, or perhaps even unqualified […]
Talking Points Memo has a nice article on some of the people currently running TARP, the unaccountable group lead by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson that (currently) has spent/(mis)managed around $350 billion taxpayer dollars for something that has to do with banks (I wish I could be more specific - really - but nobody including the […]

But you can’t have it both ways. If John Edwards got attacked for $400 haircuts - […]
You can think of the prior post as ‘lack of money indicating salvation’ because GOP operatives can’t afford to slime Obama with dishonest attacks.
Consider Part II to be Democratic Congressional Candidate El Tinklenberg raising close to a million dollars in response to Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s outrageous claim that Barack Obama and possibly members of […]
There are real world consequences for supporting policies that destroy the economy. One is that you can’t afford to support those policies. The irony.
