KSFO 1/16 with Barbara Simpson

January 18, 2012

Congressman Tom McClintock disscuses:

The Economy and how in the past 3 years the Obama administration have enacted policies based on the notion that Government spending can create jobs in America.
That government cannot create jobs, but what it can do is create the conditions that jobs either flourish or wither away.
The Tea Party-how they have not gone away and are more energized than ever. They realize that we must protect our Country from overspending and overregulation.
California's RDA problem and how the abolishment of Redevelopment Agencies has long been overdue.
The Military, defense budget cuts and when America puts their men and woman in harm's way by sending them off to war we must put all our fight, might and furry of our Country behind them.
The Payroll Tax Cut and how we need to meet three conflicting objectives: continuing the payroll tax cut; stimulating real economic growth and avoiding doing further damage to the Social Security system. HR 3551, the Social Security Preservation through Individual Choice Enhancement (or SSPICE) Act achieves those objectives.

The Export-Import Boondoggle

By admin on May 9, 2012

House Chamber, Washington, D.C. May 9, 2012

Mr. Speaker:

The Export-Import Bank dragoons American taxpayers into subsidizing loans to foreign companies, making it cheaper for them to buy products from politically-favored American companies which in turn use those products to compete against less-favored American companies.

Past beneficiaries include such upstanding enterprises as Solyndra and Enron. Since 2007, almost half of its money has gone to support that plucky little start-up called Boeing. Air India got $5 billion to purchase Boeing aircraft allowing them to undercut American carriers like Delta with their own tax money.

CISPA Cybersecurity Bill - A Truly Orwellian Measure

By Staff on April 27, 2012

Speech Made from House Floor on April 27, 2012

Mr. Speaker:

Under the Fourth Amendment, if the Government wants to snoop through a person's email, it must first convince a judge that there is probable cause to believe that person has committed a crime and it must specify the documents it believes are relevant to that charge.

Yesterday the House passed a measure that makes a mockery of this cherished protection.

Under the guise of cyber-security it allows the government to pressure and cajole Internet providers to turn over their subscribers' data and for the government then to use that data -without the consent or even knowledge of the individuals affected - for a wide variety of vague purposes unrelated to cyber-security - all without warrant.
