Cornyn Playing Softball with Lobbyist
Senator Cornyn seems to be proud of the video below as he sent it out in his Lone Star not-so-weekly newsletter. Watch it while keeping these points in mind. The interview is a setup! What a bunch of softball questions catering to the Senator. The interviewer couldn’t have made Senator Cornyn more comfortable if he [...]

Did You See Senator Cornyn’s Jobs Survey for Dummies?
Hey dummy…please choose from one of my talking points? I don’t know who created Senator Cornyn’s job survey which was published in his not-so-weekly Lone Star Weekly e-newsletter.

S&P doesn’t believe Republicans have the will to let Bush Tax Cuts expire.
A very interesting line in S&P’s full report (.pdf) wherein it downgraded the sovereign debt of the US from AAA to AA+. Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on [...]

Thanks Tea Party Republicans!
It’s time to put the redneck ideology aside and solve America’s debt problem. The Republican attempt to win the Whitehouse in 2012 by destroying the US economy is shameful. Wake up Republicans! It’s time to be statesmen.
