Ron and Dan on Impeachment

by Scott Horton | Oct 11, 2019 | Blog

Why are the Democrats’ witnesses for the prosecution (the “whistleblowers”) allowed to remain anonymous and avoid cross-examination? Pelosi was roped into proceeding with impeachment of President Trump against her political judgement and now she is beginning to pay the price as the case against Trump continues to unravel. She still has the media on her side, but how long will that last, as new Ukraine facts about Biden and the non-blackmail of Zelensky continue to seep out?

Deficits Don’t Matter

by Steven Woskow | Oct 11, 2019 | Blog

Until they do.

The federal budget deficit for 2019 is estimated at $984 billion, a hefty 4.7 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) and the highest since 2012, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said on Monday.

The difference between federal spending and revenue has only ever exceeded $1 trillion four times, in the period immediately following the global financial crisis.

Estimates for the year are predicting the deficit to exceed $1.0 trillion. The CBO keeps warning about this, but they expect the same people that cause this to fix it. I’m not optimistic.

The CBO has warned that the nation’s debt is on an unsustainable path. Higher levels of debt increase borrowing costs, make it harder for the government to battle economic downturns and increase the share of future spending devoted to paying off interest costs.

Ayatollah Khamenei: Nukes Are Haram

by Scott Horton | Oct 10, 2019 | Blog

We already know that’s been the edict in Iran since his predecessor, Ayatollah Khomeini, banned pursuit of nuclear weapons back in the 1980s. But here Khamenei is repeating it, again.

“Building and stockpiling nuclear bombs is wrong and using it is haram (religiously forbidden) … Although we have nuclear technology, Iran has firmly avoided it.”

Now, Horton’s law says he must be lying since he’s a politician saying something good, however, in this case, the actual behavior of the Iranian government this whole time has been consistent with creating a latent deterrent at worst, and mostly have just built up their program so they’ll have something to trade away in exchange for normalization. Something that worked for them, temporarily, at the end of the last administration, when Obama signed the JCPOA.
