The Capital Cities Curmudgeon -- All Criticism, All the Time

We are dedicated to ridiculing big government as best we can. We honor an ancient truism: "There are people who can slap you on the back with one hand and pick your pocket with the other." We assume they are all politicians.

More of the Same

The Jobs Bill to be presented by President Obama early next month in a national address, will have nothing new in it.  He has nothing to offer except more of the same -- ideas that have already failed, many of them more than once.

The reason jobs are scarce is that most businesses are scared silly about the future and will not be committing to enlarge, modernize or expand to new locations.  They fear there will be no profit in it -- or worse, that the government will kill the business altogether with more nutty regulation or schemes like ObamaCare, the Socialized Medicine clone from Europe and Canada.

With the speech, Obama is wasting his time, he's wasting your time and he's stealing from the TV networks, who would rather be presenting profitable programs.  It's a shame they're made to feel obligated to give their valuable time to Obama for a free political campaign speech?  That's all it is.

Total National Debt Hypocrisy

... adding $4 trillion to the national debt, [is] “unpatriotic” and also “irresponsible” to saddle future generations with such a large national debt.


You can't argue with it.  Obama agrees.  He said it about Bush but then proceeded to do it again, himself -- and in a lot less time.


See him say it here.

Don't Be Fooled By the "Green Energy" Scam

Like everything else with the word “green” attached to it, renewable energy is just another massive scam like the all the lies that kept global warming going until that enormous and costly hoax was finally discredited.

It Definitely Isn't Working

     Socialism, well-executed, may work.  We don't know because we've never seen it.

     Socialism, poorly executed, is a disaster. We know because we're seeing it being played out in our daily lives.

     Nationally, Barack Obama is an avowed Socialist and as such, his policies and practices are a menace to the economy. His ideas, centering on super-power bureaucracy in Washington, stifle innovation and business expansion.  Forty million people are on food stamps. Hospital emergency rooms are clogged with poor people whom the doctors and nurses are forced to treat at gunpoint. Major car companies were recently nationalized to rescue the workers' union jobs. Overall employment is going down, not up.  Payments to people who don't work just keep getting sweeter and sweeter.  It's all bad.

     Everywhere locally, idealistic environmentalist air-heads, tutored by the EPA  run roughshod over industry in the name of saving insignificant plants and animals from non-existent "perils."  At one state level, the California Air Resources Board is a monumental example of crushing regulations.  ARB  Their attitude: "We battle pollution without regard for who gets wasted in the crossfire."

     The Curmudgeon declares that, for 2012, it's Anybody But Obama.  Best slogan:  "Obie Must Go"
