Can You Fix the U.S. Budget? Test Yourself

If you haven't tried The New York Times's Budget Puzzle yet, give it a shot. It's a quick interactive exercise that lets you make all the hard decisions (or easy, politically unpopular decisions, as the case may be) to see if you can come up with a combination of cuts and taxes that balance the books.

TAMPA, April 12, 2012 — While the media continue to ignore compelling evidence that the Republican primary race is much closer than they are reporting, some Ron Paul supporters are nevertheless thinking about what they might do if Paul does not get the Republican nomination.

Throughout this election cycle, Gary Johnson’s name has been omnipresent as a libertarian alternative. There’s only one problem. Gary Johnson is not a libertarian.

The Libertarian Party nominated former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson for President of the United States.
Johnson briefly ran for the Republican Party nomination late last year, but decided to seek the LP nomination by Dec. The nominee’s biography can be found at garyjohnson2012.com/about

Title says "Cash for Clunkers under budget with 690,000 sales" but one paragraph says "It proved far more popular than lawmakers originally thought. Congress added another $2 billion to the original $1 billion budget when the first pot of money nearly ran out in a week. The extra money was supposed to last through Labor Day, but the funding only lasted about a month."

In other words, it was over budget before it was under budget after they made the budget larger, and even then, it was canceled just enough earlier than planned to keep it from consuming even the second "budget."

Gary Johnson continues his long shot against-the-odds campaign for the U.S. presidency, with a new internet ad that hits hard on the issue of war and peace.

The new ad for the Libertarian Party candidate is so simple and direct, that it's almost staggering in today's political climate.

It’s the stuff politicos call "red meat".

Libertarian Presidential candidate Gov. Gary Johnson joins the Liberty Underground crew in-studio for a full two hours question-and-answer session with Alex Snitker, Adrian Wyllie, Loring Smith and Danielle Alexandre, and takes questions from visitors and callers.

...not that it really matters which Republicrat Statist is ultimately elected. But wouldn't it be sweet justice indeed to see the Republicans spanked for the fraud and physical violence perpetrated against the Ron Paul and his supporters?

Mr. Johnson said he had no problem being labeled a potential spoiler in an election that he views as “a debate between Coke and Pepsi.”

“As we all learned in Florida, when something’s close enough, even small numbers can make a difference,” said Charlie Cook, the publisher of The Cook Political Report, which monitors electoral trends.

Johnson will be included in Thursday’s Fox News debate in Orlando.

Miles of roads stretching from as north as Whitestone, Queens, to the south shore of Staten Island still remained treacherously unplowed last night because of the shameless job action, several sources and a city lawmaker said, which was over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts.
