well…yeah
What Alan Bock said in the OC Register: It’s not that there isn’t a good deal of truth in such criticisms of the ways of a “Washington” he invoked more as an epithet than a place. But at what point does a president of the United States take responsibility for his part in feeding the [...]
brown wins
Congratulations to Senator-elect Brown. Nice win in one of the bluest of blue states in the nation. Who would have thought that Massachusetts of all states would possibly save us from ObamaCare? Amazing. With that said, this is another case of a generally unappealing Democratic candidate, who demonstrated how out of touch she was with [...]
unintentional comedy
Courtesy of the LA Times:
that’s a scary proposition
CBS newsman Bob Schieffer says that “Real security is built on trust in the government.” He actually wrote that! Read it here. Trust in the government. That’s a scary proposition if you really think about it. The more bureaucracy you add to deal with a potential crisis, the more likely it is that the potential [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
honest debate
That’s all the citizens opposing this health care reform want here – an honest debate where we are told the truth about the proposals currently being discussed for transformative changes in the way health care works in this country. We want our representatives to know and understand what they are voting on at least — [...]
wonder which side they are on?
This was on the Investor’s Business Daily editorial page: Not since a misguided piece of legislation imposed tariffs that turned a recession into a depression has there been a piece of legislation as bad as Waxman-Markey. The 1,000-plus-page American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454) is being rushed to a vote by House Speaker [...]
