It’s hardly surprising that the Hartford Business Journal is happy about the new Health Care Takeover legislation: Hartford has long been considered the Insurance Capital of the World, and the insurance companies are thrilled with the forced enrollment of 32 million Americans into their health insurance plans. With sweeping federal health care reform now on the books, business owners are scrambling to make sense of | Read More »
Hullabaloo, a Liberal blog, posted a little gem: ”There were no MRIs in 1780.” Ignoring the fact that the United States had not yet forced Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown in 1780 (and hence, no Articles of Confederation, let alone a Constitution, had been ratified), the line of reasoning by the author is sophomoric at best and intellectually dishonest at worst. Nowhere in the constitution does | Read More »
Alright, America: You bought it hook, line and sinker. You voted for Obama and the Democrats in 2008, and now you have the Democrat’s Health Care Takeover legislation passed into law in March, 2010. President Obama says he’ll sign it tomorrow. So now what are you giving up in exchange? It’s a very simple economic concept here: Opportunity Cost. An opportunity cost is the next | Read More »
The other day, I was reminded of one of the lies we’ve been fed about the Health Care Takeover the Democrats are desperately trying to pass through the Houses of Congress: The Individual Mandate, which would be just like your mandated automobile insurance. This specious line of reasoning has been almost forgotten amidst the arguments over abortion funding and the Constitutionality of reconciliation and trying | Read More »
Pro-Life Democrats appear ready to stop the Health Care Takeover, according to Fox News: The health care reform bill passed by the Senate on Christmas Eve appears to be dead on arrival in the House, as seven anti-abortion Democrats intend to join the ranks of lawmakers who plan to vote against the legislation, Fox News has confirmed. Seven new no votes would be enough to | Read More »
Can we just admit that the Stimulus was an $800 billion mistake that did absolutely nothing to help the economy or stimulate jobs? Can we admit that Keynesian economics are, at best, a scalpel being wielded as though a they were a machete? Can we admit that no centralized government planning will ever lead to greater economic prosperity? Because if you really can’t admit that, you really | Read More »
It seems the writers and editors at Time Magazine can’t comprehend why small business owners would not want to have the Democrat’s House Health Care “Reform” bill enacted into law. Why wouldn’t these small business owners want to increase their regulatory and financial burden? Don’t they realize that we have 5-10 million people who legitimately cannot afford health insurance? Don’t they realize that their profits | Read More »
I wish I hadn’t been driving to work this morning when I heard this on the radio. That’s because I could not write down any names, including the individual making the claim or the PAC/think tank where he’s now working, “Democracy” somethingorother. Fortunately, I was able to find a similar story from UPI. Former Public Relations executive at CIGNA Wendell Potter, who now works for | Read More »
I am not a “manufactured” protester. In fact, I’m not a protester at all, since my Congressman and Senators are all opposed to Obamacare. My outrage, however, isn’t paid for interest groups or K-Street Lobbyists. I wish it were, I could use the money. No, I’m just a private citizen who is choosing to speak up. No ulterior motive, other than making sure that our | Read More »
Strange that a government program costing $1 billion would be considered small, no? A small government program can teach us a lot about government: C.A.R.S. Referred to in the media and by politicians as “Cash for Clunkers,” the Federal Car Allowance Rebate System gave rebates of $3,500 or $4,500 for qualifying automobiles. It was allocated $1 billion and intended to last five months. Those who | Read More »
