Spend verses Save (submitted to CDT for Letters to the Editor on 2/26/2010)
Is it possible for our elected officials such as our new President to discuss ways to save money in our country rather than ways to spend more money? My mind seems to float away into the land of "nowhere" when I hear talk of spending trillions more on this or that. Let's just take a sharp look at one possible cost cutting measure - the amount that it costs the U.S. taxpayers to keep former U.S. Presidents in…

Liquidating the Empire
By Patrick J. Buchanan
A decade ago, Oldsmobile went. Last year, Pontiac. Saturn, Saab and Hummer were discontinued. A thousand GM dealerships shut down.

For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990, I worked in Detroit , Michigan .

I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses and school yards. Trash everywhere !
Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it and ignored it. Tens of thousands and then, hundreds of…

- For me, I see the Constitution as wagon wheels. They have carried us for over Two Hunderd years, and the wagon is fully loaded. It has been a bumpy ride as well as some smooth sailing but, along the way many of the spokes have been bent and some broken. Now the wheels are wobbly and about to fall off.It is time that we pull the wagon over to fix the spokes, Not replace them with high grade steel or anything fancy but with the same material as before. They knew how to build a good wheel…

The tea parties will become a Republican version of MoveOn if they're not mindful of history. That will mean not accomplishing a single one of their stated goals. That may sound strange, so let's go back a few years.
MoveOn was started by a handful of activists concerned about the…
