*It is unfair to continually point out the flaws in another person’s solution to a problem without proposing a solution of your own. Doing so is not helping and only criticizing those who are trying to help. I am occasionally guilty of this kind of behavior. I consistently explain what I think is wrong with [...]
*It appeared Wednesday night that the home appliance brand KitchenAid – for some odd reason – not only decided to weigh in on Wednesday’s presidential showdown in Denver via Twitter, but also show its cards as to who it’s supporting in November. [SUBSCRIBE TO EURWEB's RSS FEED] Their tweet has since been removed, but at [...]
*Probably the most oft repeated criticism of President Obama is that he is a socialist who incorrectly prioritizes social programs; more generally conservatives view liberals as spending the country’s revenue on the wrong programs. Thus has been the back and forth of domestic policy debates over the last 100 years. But it is time to [...]
*Two fresh dangers in the looming Social Security battleground confront blacks and Hispanics. The GOP presidential candidates posed one when they again called for partially privatizing social security in recent stump speeches and statements. The idea is nothing but a rehash of the idea floated by George W. Bush in 2005. Bush proposed giving younger [...]
*Social Security is being vilified by the front runner for the Republican Presidential nomination as being a Ponzi scheme. By doing so Perry reflects the belief of a significant segment of the population. And truthfully the way the program is currently run is troublesome because younger people are paying for older people already eligible instead [...]
*A day after the so-called “Gang of Six” released its deficit reduction plan, the Congressional Black Caucus sprang into action with a press conference to voice their opposition. “We are an anti-gang group,” quipped CBC Chairman Emanuel Cleaver, D-Missouri. “We are trying to suppress the growth of gangs. We think that it is not healthy [...]
*Taking a stand against Republican budget-cutting plans, President Barack Obama today proposed lowering the nation’s future deficits by $4 trillion over 12 years and promised he would not allow benefit cuts for the poor and the elderly to pay for tax breaks for the rich. “That’s not right and it’s not going to happen as [...]
*I got an email the other day with a petition and instructions attached telling me to sign it and pass it on. The petition eventually is to be emailed to the White House to let President Barack Obama know that he should veto any bill Congress might pass allowing illegal immigrants access to social security [...]
*The social security revisions that grandparents are worried about are a direct result of their confusion over a lost era of manners and protocol…maybe. The co-chairman of the President’s debt commission is pissed off at baby boomers and their grandchildren, but we can’t really determine why. We’re just guessing that’s what he meant when discussing [...]
*President Barack Obama sent Congress a $3.73 trillion budget Monday that holds out the prospect of eventually bringing deficits under control through spending cuts and tax increases. But the fiscal blueprint largely ignores his own deficit commission’s view that the nation is imperiled unless huge entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare are slashed. Obama [...]
*Speaking on ABC’s “This Week”, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi commented, “I think everybody wants affordable health care for all Americans. They know that this will take courage. It took courage to pass Social Security. It took courage to pass Medicare. And many of the same forces that were at work decades ago are at work [...]
