A Boeing 777 has been missing for a week, the people of Crimea will be voting on whether to secede from the Ukraine or to secede from the Ukraine and join Russia. Kerry and Obama are protesting, but they really can’t do anything about it, can they?

So until each of those stories plays out, here is my early spring

Noteworthy quote: 

“… today nothing of significance happens without a plan written by some government bureaucrats, approved by other government bureaucrats, who then grant permission to another set of government bureaucrats to study the problem in conjunction with lawyers/lobbyists who then consult their friends on ways to make matters worse.”

The Surrender TAkes!

Obama has claimed on multiple occasions in the past few days that the government (partial) shutdown has been a huge drag on the economy.

I have a huge issue with that. Shutting down from 13-17% of government is not a drag on the economy, it is a drag on the government. 

Where we differ is that Obama seems to believe that the government is the economy. If Obama’s government continues to devour the private sector, he may eventually be correct. 

Think about it, since the melt-down in 2008, our government has taken over our auto, banking, energy, and health industries, and have been issuing hundreds of thousands of “common sense” regulations every where else.

What is left to take over? Student loans? Sorry, they already did that under Obamacare.

Senator Barack Obama Explaining his 2006 Vote Against Raising the Debt Limit

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
