Sunday, October 19th, 2008The Myth of John McCain’s “Budget Neutral” Health Care Plan
Friday, October 3rd, 2008Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin from last night’s debate:
He’s proposing a $5,000 tax credit for families so that they can get out there and they can purchase their own health care coverage. That’s a smart thing to do. That’s budget neutral. That doesn’t cost the government anything as opposed to Barack Obama’s plan to mandate health care coverage and have universal government run program and unless you’re pleased with the way the federal government has been running anything lately, I don’t think that it’s going to be real pleasing for Americans to consider health care being taken over by the feds. But a $5,000 health care credit through our income tax that’s budget neutral. That’s going to help
Immediately after hearing this statement, I sent the following text message to several of my peers: “somebody will have to explain the budget nuetral tax credit to me.”
The Tax Foundation has confirmed my skeptcism that John McCain’s plan is not tax nuetral. In fact, it will add $1.3 trillon to the deficit over 10 years.
To be fair, Senator Biden also made several mistakes and false claims.

The Funniest Thing I Have Read Today
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008From the fake news site scrappleface.
The Democrat National Convention speaker line up will feature a number of “real people” talking about the pain of living in these tough economic times, including an Indiana railroader, a Michigan truck driver, and an ordinary working mother from New York who’s saddled with $24 million in campaign debt.
The woman, who spent that money in an effort to get a better job, saw her hopes and dreams crushed because of sex discrimination in the Democrat party during the Bush administration.
Her husband has no regular paycheck and must often travel hundreds of miles to find work, so the high price of fuel has cut deeply into their monthly budget.
While she has tried to “pull herself up by her own bootstraps” by asking supporters of presidential nominee Barack Obama to pay off her debt, near-recession conditions have kept them from being able to help.
Immigration Reform: What Would Jesus Do?
Thursday, August 21st, 2008A statement by Providence, Rhode Island, Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin:
“We often ask, ‘What would Jesus do?’” Tobin said in an interview Thursday. “I know for sure what Jesus would not do, would be to sweep into a community, gather up large numbers of people, separate them from one another and deport them to another country. In my own mind, in my own conscience, that’s crystal clear: Jesus would not do that.”
I couldn’t agree more with his statement. I am a strong advocate of immigration reform. America should open its borders to more immigrants, especially if they are highly skilled; it should also minimize efforts pursuing the deportation “illegal” immigrants who are otherwise productive, law-abiding members of society.
