I totally disagree with President Obama about our economic challenges (go figure). Government meddling in the economy will be the action that prolongs the recession and history proves me right.

I was just on a conference call with Senator Jim DeMint and over 10,000 other concervatives from around the nation to discuss the "stimulus" that is being debated in the senate.  It is so refreshing to know that there are still a few principled Republicans in the congress like Senator DeMint.  He did an excellent job of outlining his conservative, common sense ideas with regard to the economy. He said that he knows in his heart that doing nothing would be a much better approach than passing the bill they have in front of them today.

Speaker Pelosi is apparently so obsessed with bringing socialism to this country that she will tell any lie. This obviously ridiculous claim is an untruthful and deliberate exaggeration. There are only about 300 million Americans in the United States. I guess we're all unemployed now... Ummm... Why am I at work then???

This news is very encouraging. I pray the Senate Republicans will stand firm and protect us tax payers from the abuses that the Democrats are trying to pull over on us.

NEW YORK (AP) - General Motors Corp. (GM) will offer buyouts to all of its hourly employees, a spokesman confirmed Tuesday, as the troubled automaker continues to slash costs.

GM spokesman Tony Sapienza said the buyouts will mainly target GM's 22,000 retirement-eligible hourly employees, though any union employee can take the offer.
