This morning before I begin to show the lack of common sense that lacks big time which is nothing new at the New York Times especially with their far left-leaning NYT editorial board we as conservatives should be thankfulthat they are not the economic experts that they think that they are.
The lead OPED in this mornings NYT "The Budget Fight Continues" the NYT has done something that they never did when the Communist left under former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca)(who is currently the House MINORITY LEADER) they are like a laser beam focusing on attacking the new House Leadership under House Speaker John Boehner (R-Oh).
A perfect example like on the current budget "In defense of their bill to slash federal spending by $61 billion over the next seven months, House Republicans claim they are trying to make the economy grow and create jobs. In truth, such deep and sudden cuts could derail the recovery, without ever addressing the real sources of budget deficits — mainly explosive health care costs and incessant high-end tax cuts."
I am left with this question What recovery?Since when is tax cuts someting that can derail economic growth.
Here is some moreeconomic BS frm the OPED "In a recent report, economists at Goldman Sachs estimated that the House cuts would reduce economic growth by 1.5 percentage points to 2 percentage points in the second and third quarters of 2011. That would devastate employment. As a rule of thumb, each percentage point drop in growth means a loss of 1.2 million jobs."
That dumb $^*( statement rings of falsehood Goldman Sachs yeah a reputable liberal financial group that used to be ran by former left wing liberal New Jersey Governor and US Sen.John Corzine.Tax cuts would help rebuild the troubled economy.Devastate employment unemployment is still above 9%.
Now more left wing fear mongering with BS lies "The strongest argument of all against the House Republican bill — most of the cuts would be counterproductive. Annual spending on education through high school is cut by 12 percent, or nearly $6 billion (since the cuts would be squeezed into the rest of the current budget year, they are even deeper on an annualized basis).Those cuts include reductions to Head Start that would remove 218,000 children from the program and cuts to elementary education that would hit 2,400 schools and nearly one million students. Pell Grants for college would also be cut by nearly $6 billion. Transportation investments would be cut by 9 percent, or $8.1 billion, including $2.7 billion from rail, $1 billion from highway spending and $675 million from public transit. Americorps and other community-service programs would be eliminated, although their benefit to society surely exceeds their $1.2 billion cost. Since national service programs are matched by $800 million from foundations and other sources, that would be lost, too.The list goes on. Small businesses would be hit by a 9 percent cut, or $84 million, to the Small Business Administration. Homeowners facing foreclosure and other Americans with legal problems would be hurt by a $70 million cut to legal aid. Financial regulators would endure deep cuts that would cripple their ability to carry out the Dodd-Frank financial reform law. That’s asking for another financial crisis."
Yeah a real financial crisis if we cut spending yeah right. .
The OPED ends in this self righteous NYT fashion "In coming days, at the bottom of this page, we will further explore individual penny-and-pound-foolish cuts the House Republicans want to impose, their lack of impact on the deficit and their real-world impact, often on the most vulnerable Americans."

Especially this morning the New York Times editorial board should stay out of the business of apologetics or for you idiotic liberals out there it means to be in the defense of someone or something.
One of the OPED's this morning from the NYT "This Just In ..." is about attacking once again the right "President Obama is not a foreigner. He is not secretly a Muslim. Those are the facts, but they do not seem to matter in many quadrants of the Republican Party."
I have not been one of those people who have commented on whether President Barrack HUSSEIN Obama is an American citizen or not.But now I will raise the issue since the truth detectors (NOT!)at the NYT are.
According to the Constitution (something that is foreign to the left and the NYT) to become the President of the United States one has to have been born here.Not even a naturalized citizen can become President.But of course as it is the case with the leaders of the liberal lame stream media the NYT never deals with the truth just spinning the liberal talking points that come from the networks like MSNBC,CtheBS and ABC.
Here is more proof of the spin instead of re/searching for the truth "xenophobia and bigotry is behind the birther faction."Even their BS OPED this morning ends in this hatred fashion "If Mr. Boehner really wanted to lead, he could make this obvious but important point: Being a Muslim is not a disqualification for being president of the United States. This sort of racism stained American politics in earlier centuries. It has no place in this one.
No one ever said NYT that being a Muslim was a disqualification to become the leader of the free world or POTUS.No one has ever said this but the spin BSers at your failing paper.
Oh by the NYT this is news that is UNFIT for print.
I had to throw that one in.LOLOLOLOL!

Unlike here in Massachusetts where there is one party rule (in this assessment I am also including the four Yes only four RINO State Senators) in Wisconsin where the voters threw out a Democrat controlled legislature along with that states former Governor also a Democrat.Now have a CONSERVATIVE Republican Governor in Scott Walker (R-Wisc) and a GOP led state legislature.
As recently reported over the last few days there have been major protests in the state capitol thus bringing the business of State Government by Public employee unions on legislation that take away their right to Collective bargin their contracts.Gov Walker apparently does not want to negotiate with the Unions.
I can't say that I blame him especially with the reputation of unions and their greediness and feeding at the trough at taxpayer expense.Along with a bad economy and states around the country having to make drastic cuts in their respective budgets.
Here is the media's reporting on whats going on in Wisconsin from Fox News "Thousands of protesters on both sides of an epic budget standoff in Wisconsin faced off Saturday at the Capitol, as supporters of Republican efforts to scrap the union rights of state workers added their voices to the debate for the first time and GOP leaders insisted again there was no room for compromise.
Supporters of Gov. Scott Walker gathered on the east side of the Capitol, surrounded by a much larger group of pro-labor demonstrators who since Tuesday have filled the Capitol with chanting, drum-beats and anti-Walker slogans. Walker has proposed requiring government workers to contribute more to their health care and pension costs and largely eliminating their collective bargaining rights.Pro-labor groups chanted, "Kill the bill," while supporters of Walker shouted back, "Pass the bill." Police separated both sides."
And this headline from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Walker rejects union offer to accept concessions."
Also according to Fox News there were Tea Party supporters there in support of Gov.Walker "Saturday's line-up included a rally organized by Tea Party Patriots, the movement's largest umbrella group, and Americans for Prosperity. Their supporters carried signs with a fresh set of messages: "Your Gravy Train Is Over . . . Welcome to the Recession" and "Sorry, we're late Scott. We work for a living.""We did have an election and Scott Walker won," said Deborah Arndt, 53, of Sheboygan Falls. "I think our governor will stand strong. I have faith in him."Arndt and the other conservative backers of Walker had their faith rewarded shortly before the start of the noon rally, when Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald reaffirmed that Republicans -- who took control of both the state Senate and Assembly in November -- have the votes needed pass the measure."The bill is not negotiable," Fitzgerald said inside a heavily guarded Senate parlor at the Capitol. "The bill will pass as is."Fitzgerald said the Senate is ready to act on the so-called "budget repair" bill just as up as soon as 14 Senate Democrats who fled the state on Thursday and remain in hiding return to the Statehouse. The missing Democrats have threatened to stay away for weeks unless Walker agrees to negotiate."
Good stay away then the Governor should have their Judicial Branch order the removal of those elected Democrats.
This has been surprising especially from union thugs "As many as 40,000 people, including teachers, students, firefighters and prison guards, swarmed the Capitol on Friday, raising the noise in its rotunda to earsplitting levels.The crowds have been loud but peaceful. Police reported just nine citations for minor offenses as of Friday. Schools throughout the state have closed this week after teachers called in sick, including in the state's largest district, in Milwaukee.
Now they have (the unions) gained a little of my respect fo being civil thus far.
This is a case of the Unions vs. the Taxpayers.

Well to no ones surprise the New York Times fails to know the role of Government and its main function to protect the American people.
This is very relevant this morning in their lead OPED and how they misinterpret the role ofthe Federal Government."A Patriot Act Surprise" is the title of their OPED.
It begins "Republicans have a long history of favoring small government except when it comes to surveillance and security, at which point civil liberties take a back seat. Last week, however, 26 Republicans in the House demonstrated a remarkable consistency by joining 122 Democrats to prevent the extension of three questionable provisions of the Patriot Act, the post-9/11 law created during the Bush administration."
Do I need to say more?
I know full well that at times the Government can be overbearing and overreaching.But when the likes of the NYT plays politics instead of addressing the real issue like the Obama Administration's failure to protect the American peoplei is disturbing to say the least.

Isn't it like the leaders of the lame stream media and the Democrat party to continue to use the Health Care reform law (that most of the American donot want to begin with) to want to ruin our Democracy more and more.
This mornings second lead OPED in the New York Times does just that."The Health Care Tweak" is a perfect example even while trying to sound Washington's favorite word "BIPARTISAN" "For a brief moment last week Republicans and Democrats agreed on something about health care reform. The Senate voted overwhelmingly — the tally was 81 to 17 — to repeal a minor provision that had brought vociferous complaints from business lobbyists.The agreement is being hailed as a glimmer of hope that the two parties can cooperate to fix small flaws in the reform law. But don’t applaud too loudly. The Senate action could allow continued tax cheating. And there is no sign at all that Republicans are backing off their campaign to repeal or obstruct reform, no matter the cost.The provision, known as the expanded 1099 reporting requirement, has almost nothing to do with health care reform beyond generating roughly $20 billion over the next decade to help finance expanded coverage.It was designed to curtail tax evasion by requiring businesses to report payments of $600 or more a year to any vendor. The notion was that the vendors would then think twice before “forgetting” to report the income to the Internal Revenue Service."
This is exactly what I meant especially where the NYT emphasizes "the expanded 1099 reporting requirement designed to curtail tax evasion by requiring businesses to report payments of $600 or more a year to any vendor. The notion was that the vendors would then think twice before “forgetting” to report the income to the Internal Revenue Service" more Big Govenment expansion poking their noses into our $$$ lives as well.
Still the NYT once again via their liberal media bias blame the GOP in the US Senate "And there is no sign at all that Republicans are backing off their campaign to repeal or obstruct reform, no matter the cost."
This is what we want the GOP to do.
