Albany Robs Infrastructure Funds

      New Yorker's special taxes and fees over the next five years will raise approximately $10 billion dollars for the so-called "Dedicated Highway & Bridge Trust Fund."  Only an estimated $3.4 billion will actually be used to preserve our roads and bridges.  The rest will go to pay debts that, in many cases, have little or nothing to do with these vital but deteriorating assets.

     The issue is reminiscent of monies from the State Lottery that were supposed to go to education.  The fact is, until our state elected officials deal honestly with New Yorkers, no amount of taxes or fees will ever be enough.  It's like running water through a sieve, or giving liquor to an alcoholic.  Only honesty, financial discipline, and a government that understands that it is established to provide core services, not run every facet of our lives, will this state, and, in fact, this country, ever return to solvency.

Stop Those Who Are Destroying Our Economy

Noted commentator Charles Krauthammerhas stated that the US economy has grown so bad that middle-aged or older unemployeds may never find work again. When will Americans rise up against the cap and trade, high tax, union-owned leftists who are destroying our nation?

The Fight For Freedom Continues!

"That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." This phrase from our Declaration of Independence captures the essence of America. This July 4, as Big Government continues to ignore our Declaration and our Constitution, let's pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to the cause of freedom.

Another Bronx Hack Politician

 Assemblyman Eric Stevenson failed to raise any protest when Governor Cuomo pulled a program from his Bronx district that resulted in a loss of about 100 jobs.  According to published reports, a small job training program  that will provide a mere handful of positions will be provided as a sort of booby prize.  Many politicians have so-called "job training" programs that they personally profit from, so they don't mind allowing their constituents to lose real jobs in return for generally valueless "training" programs.

Obama Tears America Apart

Obama and his supporters in Congress appear intent on tearing the nation apart, group against group.  His Health Care legislation takes benefits from older Americans and redistributes them to those more likely to be Democrat voters. In return for vast amounts of campaign contributions from militant unions, he adopts policies that make Union leadership look successful, but that will eventually destroy jobs and create unemployment. His Attorney General refuses to prosecute acts of voter intimidation against voters not likely to be Obama supporters. His Homeland Security Secretary calls our own returning veterans a threat to national security.  He takes his ideological cues from 60's era radicals who performed acts of violence against US institutions.  Never has an election been more vital to America's survival than that which is rapidly coming upon us.  We urge all Americans who care for their nation to rise up, get active, and vote out this despicable administration.
