A group of Democrats complain Styrofoam cups in the House cafeteria could contain carcinogens.

In a letter to Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) and other Republican leaders, the nine Democrats say the Styrofoam cups and other dining materials could hold chemical components that could cause cancer. The Democrats are upset with the switch to Styrofoam from recyclable materials put into place when Democrats ran the House...

CHARLIE SHEEN

In the entire Charlie Sheen saga that's been playing out over the past several weeks we really are seeing what is wrong with this country. Charlie Sheen is a drug-crazed drunk who is in the process of destroying his live while bringing down several around him. He deserves no more than a curious glance, yet he is basically the number one story in our media.

We have:

   * Democrats and Republicans playing grabass with each other in Washington while refusing to launch any serious attack on our spending deficit and our national debt.
   * A New York Congressman is under fire because he dares to hold hearings on the radicalization of Islamic youth in the United States.
   * NPR executive Ron Shiller is caught on tape saying that the Republican Party believes basically in a white, Christian, gun-toting America ... all the while being paid in part by taxpayer dollars.
   * Teacher's unions are fighting back at any public official who dares to question their power .. .and the head of one teacher's unions is saying that the solution to our education problems is to just let the teacher's unions handle the teachers and everyone else should just back off.
   * Gas is costing $4.00 a gallon while The Community Organizer rejects any attempts to increase exploration for oil in our country and off our shores.
   * The quality of American education continues to decline while we continue to spend more and more on the useless Department of Education
   * We're getting more details on how Obama and his sycophants cooked the books on ObamaCare to convince us that his scheme would reduce our deficit. It won't. It will increase it.

I could go on with this list for pages ... but I have some interviews to do with some of my affiliates, but you get the point. There are things going on out there that will actually have some effect on your lives - not to mention the future of your children; but America is absorbed by the meltdown of a Hollywood slob that will have no effect on anyone outside of his rancid little circle.

They say that people generally get the type of government they deserve. Sure looks like that's true.

BALANCING THE BUDGET
By Neal Boortz
@ March 9, 2011 9:33 AM


Democrats, Republicans, Obama ... none of them have risen to the challenge of even coming close to tackling our fiscal troubles. Finally, people in Washington are starting to call them out on it. Freshman Democrat Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia won't be named Rookie of the Year by Barack Obama.  On the Senate floor he says, "Why are we doing all this when the most powerful person in these negotiations -- our president -- has failed to lead this debate or offer a serious proposal for spending and cuts that he would be willing to fight for?" And do you remember Obama's bipartisan debt commission? Well the former chairmen of this commission are blasting the President's plan as well as the congressional Republicans, calling them both "light" budget proposals. Chairman Erskine Bowles imparted a sobering reality.  The Hill reports, "He said that you cannot simply tax or cut spending to get out of the crisis. To tax your way out, the top marginal income tax would have to be 70 percent, and the corporate tax would have to be 80 percent."

At this rate, balancing the budget is looking like nothing but a pipe dream. Even House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer admitted that it may take as many as 20 years to balance the budget. Republicans are whining about how hard it is as well. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor says that the federal budget cannot be balanced anytime within the next10 years without "severely impacting the benefits" for seniors. Seniors have votes. Politicians don't want to give up power. Guess who is going to win this battle.

I've made this observation before, but the Cato Institute has released a new study based on current figures from the Congressional Budget Office ... We can balance our budget within a decade if we simply capped spending at its current rate - by freezing the budget. Daniel Mitchell has run the numbers and he says, "If they freeze the budget, we almost balance the budget by 2017. If federal spending is capped so it grows 1 percent each year, the budget is balanced in 2019. And if the crowd in Washington can limit spending growth to about 2 percent each year, red ink almost disappears in just 10 years."

But at this point, balancing a budget that has doubled in size since 2008 is not a particularly commendable task.
