Liberals have tough time with rejection

Norm Ornstein and Thomas Mann:

Gridlock is the GOP’s fault

While I might like to take credit for gridlock in Washington, the reap problem is that we have a radical President who is bleeding the country white with excessive spending and the Republicans have not been all that effective at stopping him.  Obama has been irresponsible in dealing with the debt crisis and will only make it worse if he is reelected.  He is inept in negotiating and thinks giving a speech is leadership.  Ornstein and Mann also miss the fact that Democrats have lost credibility on the issue of controlling spending and that is why they can't structure a deal with Republicans.

In every deal to raise taxes and cut spending the Democrats have actually increased spending.  You cannot take their promises seriously and they have no answer to the debt crisis that entitlement spending is causing.  None.  Zero.  Even if you gave them every tax increase they wanted, it would not pay for the entitlement spending, much less ridiculous programs like the health care law.

Democrats have been trying to hide their unpopular fiscal plans by refusing to pass a budget for three years.  Cutting a deal with fiscal insanity is not something voters expect from the Republicans they elect.

Karl at Hot Air also takes on the piece.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
