Have you seen the debt clock lately? While one giant number that is unfathomable to most of us may look benign, just look at all the debt put together at USDebtClock.org, and you’ll be sure to be scared.

So far this year, it is estimated that nearly $40 billion in Medicare fraud has been committed. Think [...]

Please pardon our silence; things have been rather busy these past few months. And I’m sure we’re not the only ones who have suffered from news fatigue after the two-year-long presidential election.

Speaking of presidential elections, the Obama campaign machine is due to continue unabated. (In fact, some don’t see why it should stop after 2012.) [...]

Things have been a bit interesting around here lately. Between computer issues, medical issues, and schedule issues, with a little election burnout thrown into the mix, it’s been somewhat difficult to write anything here. But that’s beside the point of this post, so I won’t belabor it.

America has spoken, and rightly or wrongly, they chose [...]

So, Congress today is hoping to use Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke’s testimony today as reason for another bailout bill with added pork and a stimulus package to boot? Give me a break! Hasn’t Congress used enough of our money to meddle with the economy? There is NO constitutional provision for what they have been [...]

Well, I guess if Congress won’t give you the $700 billion you wanted from the wallets of the taxpayers, you can just go around Congress and come up with some other way to take it from the people! Even the left-wing magazine The Nation is comparing Paulson to a Soviet government official! (Notice how “comprehensive” [...]

The mainstream media, as well as most of America, was filled with worry yesterday after the Dow dropped 777.68 points by the time the markets closed. As the closing bell rung, the Dow saw the biggest single-day point drop in its history.

That is certainly a noteworthy statistic, but it can be somewhat misleading. Let’s take [...]

For the past week, now, Newt Gingrich has been pounding the common sense approach to economic recovery, but it seems that few on Capitol Hill (or at the White House, for that matter) are paying any attention.

He rightly points out that the mark-to-market accounting rule is killing the economy by undervaluing companies that are already [...]

First of all, congratulations are in order. To the congressmen who listened to their constituents and honored the Constitution with their “No” vote, we at Right Politik heartily applaud you. Your honor and integrity make you stand head and shoulders above those in Congress who would rather choose an easy, expensive out that only hurts [...]

The very fact that the Democrats want one hundred Republicans to sign on to the bailout bill, and the very fact that so many Republicans (in addition to the ones who truly do have conservative principles!) are afraid of doing so this close to an election is a sure sign that this bailout plan stinks [...]

The recent economic crisis has led Senator Obama to hint that he may not raise taxes as president because that would put undue strain on Americans and the already weakened economy. However, before this marked downturn, he was all for raising taxes during the media-driven “recession”. I can’t help but wonder, though, how it is [...]
