Audacity of Truth
Move Along:
""The whole issue of this - of talking points, frankly, throughout this process has been a sideshow. The whole thing defies logic. And the fact that this keeps on getting churned out, frankly, has a lot to do with political motivations."

Dem Governors to Gov. Perry: TX needs to stop trying to steal our jobs!
If this story doesn’t make you laugh out loud with glee while doing a little “Toldjah So!” chant, I don’ t know what will: Gov. Rick Perry’s high-profile efforts to lure jobs to Texas from other states may be good business and smart politics back home, but they’re infuriating to prominent Democrats around the country. And [...]
IRS apology on targeting 75 Tea Party groups is NOT EVEN CLOSE to enough
I wish I could say I was shocked by this disturbing news (via) but I am most certainly not (bolded emphasis by me): WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service apologized Friday for what it acknowledged was “inappropriate” targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status.

Hide your IRAs: Obama admin. — “We think you’ve saved enough!”
**Posted by Phineas Or maybe it’s the off-ramp to Cyprus. Over at lefty blog Talking Points Memo (h/t Joel Gehrke), Brian Beutler has noted an interesting item in the White House’s latest budget proposal: a cap on the amount one is allowed to save in tax-deferred accounts. Anything over that is open to the taxman. Per the budget, [...]
This is why California can’t have nice things: taxing email
**Posted by Phineas Not yet, but a Berkeley (natch) city councilor thinks it’s a grand idea: Gordon Wozniak, a Berkeley city councilman, proposed taxing email messages during a recent city council meeting in an effort to reduce the spread of “spam,” or unwanted emails.

Bad news for Dems: On the economy, Obama’s advantage over GOP is gone
So reports Micah Cohen at the NYT’s 538 blog (hat tip): During the debate over the so-called fiscal cliff in December, public opinion surveys showed more Americans trusted President Obama than trusted Republicans in Congress when it came to handling the nation’s economy. The New Year’s Day deal to avoid going over the cliff, which included higher marginal tax rates [...]
Senate Democrats rush to repeal tax they rushed to pass without reading, first
**Posted by Phineas Remember how the Democrats pushed and pushed to ram through Obamacare as fast as they could, despite huge public opposition? So fast, most didn’t even bother to read the bill before voting on it? So fast, the Senate had to use “Rube Goldberg” procedures to pass it? So fast, Nancy Pelosi said [...]
NC Five Guys franchise holder: ObamaCare costs will be passed on to consumers
Gee, what a surprise. Not. Via the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard (bolded emphasis added by me): The fight over Obamacare, so far held at the 30,000-foot level, is about to hit home. The latest impact hot off the grill: prices of burgers and hot dogs at Five Guys, the national chain that started in Washington, [...]
Pelosi really does believe that all the money is hers
**Posted by Phineas Well, the government’s, but you just know that, deep down inside, she sees herself as synonymous with the government – l’Etat c’est Nancy! Bryan Preston noted this interesting bit of progressive logic while the Minority Leader was talking about reducing government spending: “Tax cuts are spending.” “Our whole budget is what $3.5 trillion,” Pelosi said [...]
Federal Reserve: Fears over ObamaCare are causing employers to lay off workers
Duh: The Federal Reserve on Wednesday released an edition of its so-called “beige book,” that said the 2010 healthcare law is being cited as a reason for layoffs and a slowdown in hiring. “Employers in several Districts cited the unknown effects of the Affordable Care Act as reasons for planned layoffs and reluctance to hire [...]
Obama visits Asheville, NC manufacturing plant, renews call for federal minimum wage hike
Does this guy EVER learn? Yes, that was a rhetorical question. Via WRAL: ASHEVILLE, N.C. — President Barack Obama pushed for a higher minimum wage at a re-opened manufacturing plant in Asheville Wednesday because he says Americans who work full-time should not be in poverty. The president followed up his call for the increase from $7.25 [...]
