The financial hole of state and local governments

09 Jul

And people still have faith in government–and Republicans and Democrats???  This is just the tip of the iceberg.  The federal government’s unfunded liability is more than $200 trillion. 

“If the Actuarial Standards Board enacts recommendations from its Pension Task Force, actuarial valuations for state and local government pensions will report unfunded liabilities of over $5 trillion a…”

Hillary is continuing the great tradition of presidential candidates…

09 Jul

Presidential candidates and presidents always lie. For the past 100+ years, from Wilson to FDR to Truman and up to Obama, they have lied repeatedly about taxes, spending, regulations, and war.  (More to come in future posts)

“Does Hillary Clinton possess the integrity and honesty to be president of the United States? Or are those quaint and irrelevant considerations in electing a head of state in 21st-century America?”

Gary Johnson is no Ron Paul

09 Jul

What were Libertarians thinking when they nominated Gary Johnson for President?

“Where are libertarians going? What is clear is where they are not going. The much-touted “libertarian moment,” as a New York Times Magazine article phrased it two years ago, never materialized. …”

No gas tax deal, roadwork shut down…

07 Jul

The failure of Governor Christie and the Legislature to come to an agreement to fund the Transportation Trust Fund is another example of why government in general is a dysfunctional organization populated by feckless individuals who have abrogated their responsibility to the public.  Our elected officials have demonstrated they are poor stewards of taxpayers assets. No private enterprise firm could survive if they treated their customers with such contempt.  

“New Jersey taxpayers may face more than $60 million in added costs due to a pending shutdown of transportation projects.”

Another reason to abolish the income tax

06 Jul

Gov. Christie’s proposal reveals he is no fiscal conservative.  He wants more money from overburdened New Jereseyans to prop up the bloated state budget.  

Must reading for anyone who thinks the income tax is a relatively benign way to raise revenue.  In fact, the income tax is the “root of all evil”.  In other words, less money for politicians means more wealth and freedom for workers and entrepreneurs.

“South Jersey lawmakers expressed their outrage over a Christie plan to end a tax deal with neighboring Pa.”
