heading toward the cliff
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is willing to sacrifice the political futures of her fellow House Democrats in order to get the health care bill passed. That’s generous of her, and the Republicans will absolutely accept that result. I just wonder how many left-leaning true believers are left in the Democratic Congress. The answer [...]
choosing sides
There is nothing guaranteed about a possible Republican recovery in 2010. In case fellow Republicans get too overconfident about our chances due to some current Democrat chaos over health care, let me remind them that voters hate us too. Perhaps that is a slight overstatement of our position, since there are many contributors on both [...]
can’t we all just get along?
Well..NO.
There are principles worth fighting for in all these debates. There are battles worth taking on here with health care, the future direction of our military, and how to create a business-friendly climate for the creation of much-needed jobs — all these need to have solid policy prescriptions. When we feel that our concerns are [...]
flawed concept
Reason’s Jacob Sullum says there should be no fundamental right to health care.
A right to health care thus requires the government to infringe on people’s liberty rights by commandeering their talents, labor, and earnings. And since new subsidies will only exacerbate the disconnect between payment and consumption that drives health care inflation, such interference is bound to increase [...]
lighten up scrooge
Now for something a little different and somewhat holiday-themed…
Eventually it would come to this – someone is compelled to attack the lifestyle and behavior of Santa Claus. Honestly, there’s just no good excuse for that.
Some “public health expert” in Australia says that Santa is a bad example for children. The charges against St. Nick include [...]
health care “reform”
The House passed HR3962, commonly known as PelosiCare / ObamaCare, this evening, with 39 Dems voting against and one Republican (Cao) voting for it. The battle isn’t over yet. Let’s keep fighting.
In other news, this happened. Very cool of former President W.
a couple quick thoughts
Yes, the wins by Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell were important. I don’t think that the loss by Corzine in NJ was completely surprising. Even in New Jersey, at some point the voters had to say to themselves, “We’ve had enough of Jon Corzine, and his total lack of ability to be a [...]
no sale
I agree with Congressman Joe Wilson. The President has misrepresented what the Democrats are proposing to do with our health care. Unfortunately, the rules of decorum prevent Republicans from saying what they think out loud unless it agrees with what President Obama has already said. After all, we know how well the Democrats [...]
initial comments on health care “reform”
I will get to Dr. Arthur Laffer’s analysis in a future post. I have several initial comments on the subject of health care “reform” that I want to bring to the table before I get to his brilliant work.
If you want to talk about a subject that should be demanding the attention of the [...]
the presser
Several things crossed my mind while I was listening to President Obama’s “press conference”. Here we go.
1) More people could afford health care if they had jobs. That’s where the President’s focus should be right now, rather than on national / universal (whatever the term we are using this week is) health care or on [...]
