Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Me and El Rushbo are fine with corporate welfare, cause they make jobs, just don't give no damn welfare money to poor people.
Trinacria| 5.9.12 @ 5:56PM
Yes, quite; because as we all know, the poor are the real job creators. Why, without them there'd be virtually no need for social workers, prison guards, police, public defenders, liquor stores, pawn shops, Wal-Marts, fast food restaurants, MSNBC, GM, Chrysler, and professional race baiting rabble rousers.
Bro| 5.9.12 @ 8:50PM
No it doesn't. A corporation who gets government funded "welfare" has an unfair advantage over those companies that do not. It drives these companies out of business costing jobs and increasing prices (which also decreases jobs). Corporate Welfare is corrupt and I will NOT vote for a congressman who voted for it.

Many stories are not getting covered, what about the CIA Double Agent and all of the information we just handed to our enemy? Some things need to be kept quiet, we don't need to tell everyone how the CIA stopped an attack, people are now at risk.

Huh?

EXIM Bank has been on the target list for over 20 years and we still can't get rid of it. Most Congressmen vote for programs like this because its safer to please constituent groups rather than make them angry, but EXIM Bank is one of many non-governing programs that the federal government should get out of.
