The plain simple truth is prop 8 cannot hold up in court because the court no longer sees homosexuality as an errant behavior. Since it is a socially acceptable stance to be gay then why should you not be allowed to marry? I do not know where this will end up but in the end it is time to lay . . . → Read More: Prop 8

The plain simple truth about a Obama saying that a patchwork of laws is unacceptable on immigration policy is that he is wrong. He chooses to make it unacceptable, however he has no reason not to condone a patchwork of gay marriage laws, or drug enforcement laws, or any number of patchworks of laws that have . . . → Read More: Patchwork of Laws Unacceptable

The plain simple truth is the low GDP growth that has been exhibited shows, more sharply then any other indicator, that the current government policies are not aiding in the creation of growth. Currently this is because of several factors, some are because of the current administration, others have been building for a generation.
Those policies that have been . . . → Read More: What Low GDP Growth Means

The plain simple truth is that a government must be run like a customer centric business. If it were done in this manner it would be

Smaller in Size
Centered around its ‘business plan’

<sigh> The plain simple truth is that this is… well that this… you know what. I don’t even know where to start.
I suppose the only other thing that trumps this is the hour long advertisement that Obama did to try to push Healthcare reform.
There is nothing wrong with going on ‘The View’ which is arguably one . . . → Read More: Obama on ‘The View’

The plain simple truth is campaign finance reform is a non-issue. There are many people who would disagree with this but in the end any campaign finance reform that is done today will simply be inadequate during the next election cycle and we will hear it all again since it is just a political trick to . . . → Read More: Campaign Finance Reform

The plain simple truth about Keynesian economics is that on the face it looks good, and so long as it is done correctly this is true. If anyone remembers the discussion about Reaganomics is that by deficit spending and being cautious about it, a nation holding itself to a strict budget could make Reaganomics work. . . . → Read More: Why Isn’t Keynesian Economics Working

The plain simple truth about the economic recovery is that it really has not happened yet. Timothy F. Geithner thinks businesses are being cautious. He believes that “The most likely thing is you see an economy that gradually strengthens over the next year or two”
Isn’t that what we we were told a year or two ago?

The plain simple truth is that most of the response that Government makes to crisis is dumb. For instance, 9-11 occurred, if terrorists attempted to hijack another plane what would every single person on that plane be thinking? Do you honestly think they could ever do more then blow a plane up any longer? Yet we have spent billions upon billions . . . → Read More: Why does the Government Always Seem to Respond to Crisis?

The plain simple truth is that Reaganomics did not work. The reason why is simply that a tax cut, even though it appears to stimulate the economy, does not directly equal the same as a direct tax. If you drop the rate from 25% to 20% then that means that money has to move at an increased . . . → Read More: The Problem with Reaganomics Explained
