ObamaCare – Federal Judge, Roger Vinson, ruled the individual mandate is unconstitutional and he claimed the entire law is void.
Enemy Combatants – The administration now believes enemy combatants should be tried using Military Tribunals. This is the right decision, but it is an about face and a campaign promise broken by Obama. I suspect that Guantanamo will remain open.
Spending Reduction Act – The GOP have introduced a bill that will reduce federal spending by 2.1 trillion dollars by 2021.
ObamaCare – Three Senate Democrats Nelson, Cantwell, and Klobuchar have agreed to repeal some portions of the reform legislation. It is not a coincidence that all three Democrats are up for reelection in 2012. However, all three voted against a complete repeal of the legislation.
Unions – In 2010, union membership declined by 612,000. Unions now make up 11.9% of the workforce, down from 12.3% in 2009.
Economic Panel – GE CEO Jeffery Immelt will head the White House’s economic panel. This means there will be a push towards green jobs. Which, of course, this means this is an opportunity for GE to sell more wind turbines and ecofriendly light bulbs.
Anti-War Movement – Where has movement gone? Just asking where all these people have gone since Obama took office.
Abortion – In 2010, 41% of all pregnancies were aborted in New York City. What’s worse, 60% of all African-American pregnancies were aborted.
Foreclosures – In 2010, there were 2.9 million foreclosures up 2% from 2009 and 23% from 2008.
China Banks – In 2010, Chinese banks have provided more loans to businesses in developing countries (over 110 billion dollars) than the World Bank.
2010 Spending – Americans spent a record 462 billion dollars during the 2010 holiday season. However, because of population increases, the per capita spending was not anywhere near a record.
Paul Ryan – Since Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan gave the rebuttal to Obama’s State of the Union Address; he has been the target of the left who have been trying to smear his name.
DC Voucher Program – Boehner and Lieberman are trying to reinstate the successful program that Obama killed.
Energy Czar – Carol Browner is leaving the White House which is an indication that climate legislation is no longer a priority.
Energy Conservation – The government wants us to use energy efficient light bulbs and to turn off our lights. However, the government buildings for the Department of Labor, Transportation, Commerce, Energy, and Agriculture each cost the taxpayers anywhere from 200,000 dollars to one million dollars each month for electricity bills.
Debt – This year’s U.S. debt is estimated to top 1.5 trillion dollars, which is another record.
Egypt – There is reason to be concerned if an extremist group such as the Muslim Brotherhood takes control. The White House is open to this group playing a part in the new Egypt government, this is scary.
