Writing from his perch at the New York Times (2/8/10) Paul Krugman notes “We’ve always known that America’s reign as the world’s greatest nation would eventually end. But most of us imagined that our downfall, when it came, would be something grand and tragic.”

It isn’t clear who the “we” is in this paragraph, nor is “downfall” as obvious as Mr. Krugman infers. But the position is part of a declinist stance that has insinuated itself into elitist positions. And there is some justification for it.

After all, the Obama administration acts as if the U.S. should engage in withdrawal from all international obligations except those channeled through the United Nations or other international organizations.

With Obama’s 2010 budget, 42 cents of every dollar the federal government spends will have to be borrowed. In the last decade, foreign investors wound up lending the U.S. about half of the federal debt – with China and Japan providing about 50 percent of that sum through the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities. In fact, China is the largest holder of U.S. dollars in the world, a position that might compromise U.S. foreign policy decisions in the Pacific and elsewhere.

Sharif Mobley is an Al Qaeda terrorist who tried to shoot his way out of a hospital in Yemen. He shot two guards, one of whom died, before he was apprehended by security.

 It turns out Mobley was raised in Buena, New Jersey. In 2005, he was paid $75 for working on Democrat Jon Corzine's campaign.

On March 9, 2010, thousands of protesters gathered outside a Washington, D.C. hotel where the heads of the health insurance industry and their powerful lobbyists were meeting to make citizens' arrests of the CEOs responsible for the continuation of the health care crisis in this country. The charge: attempting to kill health care reform. Police outside the hotel were issued "warrants" to arrest, among others, Karen Ignagni (AHIP CEO), Angela Bray (WellPoint CEO) and Stephen Hemsley (United Health CEO). To view all the "wanted posters" of offending health care executives, please click here.   

Said AFSCME International Pres. Gerald W. McEntee: "We are here to speak truth to (their) power." Indeed, "We're here to arrest the CEOs of Big Insurance because they are devastating our families and businesses and getting away with it."

New York U.S. Senator Charles Schumer is the consummate Washington insider, a symbol of all that ails the beltway.

On March 4, 2010, HR 4759 was introduced by a bipartisan group of 28 House members to repeal the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). And it's about time! The agreement, which removed tariffs and various trade restrictions among the United States, Canada and Mexico, took effect on January 1, 1994. A product of both the Bush and Clinton administrations, NAFTA has been a disaster for the United States. Rather than creating jobs in this country - as its proponents alleged would occur - the United States has lost more than 5 million positions as businesses have flocked to Mexico to open low-wage factories and manufacturing plants leaving devastated American communities in their wake.
