Hello to All!

I am happy to report we are back! We suffered a vicious attack that took the USAWatchdog.com site down on Monday, February 18. I do not know who is doing this or what their motive is. I suspect whoever is committing these attacks is not happy with people getting real news and analysis. We still have some work to do to get back to full strength. We are working behind the scenes to make sure everything is functioning correctly before we put up video and longer written posts. This is the second attack in the last 6 weeks. USAWatchdog.com is one of several sites that have been attacked. This hurts our traffic, revenue and will undoubtedly raise the cost of running the site. Thank you for your comments and for your support.

The average guy is not making it.  His income is not keeping up with inflation.”  As far as Congress getting the budget and debt ceiling under control, Williams says, “Both sides are faced with devil’s choices.”  (more…)

Debt and guns are really the only two topics in Washington D.C. this week.  The House of Representatives passed a bill that will suspend the debt ceiling until mid-May.  It’s has a cute little clause called “No Budget No Pay,” but I think that’s just a side show gimmick.  The real deal is the Republicans are throwing a political hot potato over to Harry Reid and the Democrats in the Senate.  (more…)
