IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- Somebody Please Say, 'April Fools!':

"The government's stimulus efforts, as toted up by Bloomberg.com, so far total $13.8 trillion — roughly equal to our entire GDP for one year, or $45,245 for every man, woman and child."...

Congress declares carbon dioxide, a naturally occurring gas necessary for all life, to be a poison and seeks to regulate it through a 'cap-and-trade' system — a costly tax on everyone who uses energy, at a time when the global economy is in recession."...

A great litany of just the past couple of weeks Obaminations by the Investors Business Daily editorial page, www.ibdeditorials.com. They end the piece, "Where's the Outrage?" Hearing that plaintive cry from men who have the bully pulpit of a major daily newspaper was very disturbing to me. It actually gave me a restless night. Because it made me realize that even people like the editorial writers at IBD are just like me, dazed and feeling helpless to even slow down the socialist steamroller. And that made me realize that our republican politicians, with very few exceptions, are still behaving as if it's another day at the office. As long as they do so, it lends the air of normalcy and legitimacy to what's going on. Why haven't my republican senators and respresentative called town hall meetings in their districts to bring focus on what's happening in Washington? Where's Michael Steele? He sends me solicitations for donations. He must be kidding.
