Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is set to sue the FCC to block implementation of Net Neutrality regulations. Calling the regulations the “most egregious of all violations of federal law,” Mr. Cuccinelli told The Washington Times on Thursday that he will begin in July or August to gather support from other attorneys general and private [...]
Leftist policies are often (and correctly) described as “tax and spend.” After the stimulus bill passed, though, some flipped the phrase to “spend, then tax,” anticipating that the Left would ultimately demand higher taxes to reduce the gargantuan deficit they created (and we opposed). We now have proof that the change in terminology was correct as well: [...]

VA BUDGET QUESTIONS by Tom Cranmer - Why is the budget not a "budget?" It is more of a forecast of revenues and expenditures. - Why are expenditures self-adjusting? By law they have to be balanced with revenues. In 2010 VA had a $400 million surplus. The Sunshine Review reported the "Revenue Stabilization Fund has shrunken from $1.19 billion in 2006 to $295 million in 2010." - What are the biggest tricks in the budget? To delay funding $600 million [...]

Received Via Email: According to the calendar, today is the last day of session. And it would be, too, if we had a budget. With the clock ticking down to zero, however, it looks like we're going into overtime. We will take up a few bills in conference today, but the budget towers over every other consideration, and if we don't finish today, we will be back soon to get the job done. For now, I would like to use [...]

GE is the largest military engine manufacturer with sole-source positions on the F/A-18 and several thousand Black Hawks and Apaches. [...]

In all seriousness, isn't it time we look long and hard at spending cuts for the military? If we are serious about getting rid of fraud/waste/abuse in government then we can't leave out one of the largest budget items on the list. Currently the Military is debating the "alternate engine" for the F-35. A [...]
