Texas Redistricting Update
“It is clear to me that two of the three judges on the San Antonio federal panel have attempted to usurp the legitimate authority of the Legislature to create redistricting maps by deciding to replace the constitutional legislative duty with their own political agenda. The federal panel has created districts as they see fit, rather than the elected representatives of the people. This action becomes clearer when you look at the redrawn maps, and observe radically altered boundary lines for districts which were devoid of any controversy to all political observers, prior to the actions of the federal panel.
Obama’s Green Energy Lie
- The Labor Department’s green jobs training program showed that only 2.5 percent of individuals originally enrolled were still employed in the jobs for which they were trained six months after the start of their job.
- One estimated that 45 percent of funds appropriated by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for green energy had not been spent, because few “shovel ready” projects existed.
- Since the end of the recession in June 2009, the economy has gained only 841,000 nonfarm payroll jobs for $825 billion in stimulus spending (approximately $1,000,000 per job).

We must remove onerous regulations that are redundant, harm small businesses, and impede private sector investment and job creation.

It was the one question in the Bloomberg-Washington Post debate that gave away the game. A source close to, but not in, the Bachmann campaign told me it was that question when he realized the game was over for Michele Bachmann. It was that one question that, according to a source close to the Perry camp and a source close to the Cain camp, raised a red flag for the Romney campaign and shows just how worried the Romney camp is about the race consolidating.
The Jobs Bill: Pretending to Fund Social Security
The Jobs Bill: Pretending to Fund Social Security
The president’s latest “jobs” proposal would extend and deepen cuts in the Social Security payroll tax. Before this legislation is seriously considered, there needs to be greater understanding that it would take a major step toward transforming Social Security from what it has long been — an earned benefit, funded by separate worker payroll taxes — into an income-tax based system more akin to welfare, says Charles Blahous, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution.
