Once again Senator Obama has come out swinging at Senator McCain then used the same words just days later. You see, Senator McCain just doesn’t get it – he doesn’t get that this crisis on Wall Street hit Main Street a long time ago. That’s why his first response to the greatest fiscal meltdown inRead the Rest…

The pressure for a bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac came to a head today. Congress worked extra hard this weekend to come up with a compromise that could be voted on.

I’ve been called quite a few things. But I don’t think I have ever been called a Barbarian just because I don’t agree with Senator Obama and Senator Biden. “There are two people — you’ve heard me say it before — two groups that stand between us and the barbarians at the gate,” Biden said.Read the Rest…

Government intervention normally just irritates me to no end. However this is one of those cases where it is needed. It doesn’t cost the government billions to implement and will hopefully help everyone out there. Credit card companies have been practicing some very shady deals in the last couple of years.

Just before the summer break of Congress, I sent an email to Congressman Allen Boyd (D) about his stance on the current dispute about drilling for oil on the Outer Continental Shelf and the Gulf of Mexico.
