Since it’s the weekend, let’s do an open news thread today.

What have you got for us?

Here’s a few from me.

Just further proof you should never trust the CBO.

From the AmericanEnterpriseInstitute

“In 2002, CBO predicted 2012 US debt would be 7.4% of GDP. In reality, it was almost 74% of GDP”

I just can’t wait to see how badly they’re off on Obamacare.

If we’re gonna have a national conversation about guns, then we need to be honest about it.

From Mediaite

“John Kass, columnist for The Chicago Tribune, appeared on CNN on Friday where he discussed the tragic increase of violence and murder that has struck his city in recent years. He said that lawmakers and members of the press have been guilty of “papering over” how bad the situation in Chicago was getting, and of “ghettoizing” the minority children who become the victims of gun violence in the inner city. Kass concluded by challenging President Barack Obama to come to Chicago for the funeral of one of the “hundreds and hundreds” of African-American and Latino children killed every year in gun crimes.”

““We make the Sandy Hook – which was a tragedy – a big deal. Why don’t the politicians come to the funerals of the dead African-American and Latino kids who get killed by the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds,” asked Kass. “The media has ghettoized these children, these homicide victims.”

“I’m not diminishing the others, I’m just saying, President Obama, show up at a funeral here in Chicago once in a while too,” Kass concluded.”

Good Point. And also, we should be honest about how the Democrat solution does not work. Chicago shows this.
