The formerly rich succumb to socialism

In our previous posts on the California budget crisis, we pointed out that the Democratic model of spending cannot be sustained in California. Democratic governance is a failed model, and the only reason Obama can follow the same policies for the nation is because the Federal Reserve Bank finances the increasing deficits. The Fed keeps the economy afloat for a while, but the question is, for how long? And, at what ultimate price?

The Wall Street Journal has caught up with the failed Democratic model and offers an analysis of three failed state economies, New York, California, and New Jersey. This article offers different language and analysis in greater depth. We like the “three failed states” image as it has more power than our single-state analysis. Familiarize yourself with the features of the failed Democratic model and bludgeon any nearby liberal with the facts. We note that the Wall Street Journal favors flight over resistance for residents of liberal and highly unionized states. Fair enough.

We had to go all the way to Canada to find this story on the Sacramento rally being organized for August 28. This is an anti-eco rally to protest water being shut off to California farms. Farmers, loggers, truckers, farm equipment, trucks, and lots of angry people whose livelihood has been cut off by cutting off their water. By the way, that affects the food supply you eat. (more…)

Let’s go back to April, when the anti-G20 movement in Europe took to the streets in a series of strikes and demonstrations to register their disapproval of job outsourcing, banker bailouts, higher unemployment rates, and immigrant workers taking jobs. No European leader was allowed to travel freely. (more…)

New “pain ray” ready for crowd control

6a00d8341ca35253ef00e54f6eb6ae8833_800wi1.jpgWired Magazine reports that the U.S. military has developed a microwave “pain ray” that may be diverted to civilian use for crowd control. If you happen to be in a crowd and see this box on a truck near you, be aware that you could be zapped. The range is about 250 meters. The effect is supposedly just painful enough to get you to move.
