The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, by failing to pass the bailout package, has done its best to wreck the economy. And, of course, the usual suspects are blaming (surprise!) the Republicans.
For anyone interested in an honest perspective on why it happened, however, Thomas Sowell explains that the people who now control Congress can never be expected to act responsibly in this […]
Last week, I noted a priceless debate exchange in which Paul Krugman was hoisted by his own petard. Here’s a clip from the same health care forum that shows John Stossel and Sally Pipes cleaning Krugman’s clock:
As Stossel points out, comparing socialized medicine to market-based health care is analogous to juxtaposing the U.S. Postal Service with Federal Express. Who in their right mind thinks the […]
The recent article in Health Affairs about John McCain’s health care reform plan is not to be taken seriously. It reads like it was written by Barack Obama’s campaign staff. John Goodman does a good job of exposing how slanted the piece really is:
Somewhat unusual for an article in Health Affairs, this piece is incredibly biased. Among […]
When they aren’t launching viral smear campaigns on the sly, Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has been busy promoting the ironic canard that John McCain is a liar.
The audacity of this charge was more than I could stand, so I wrote a piece for the American Spectator highlighting some of Obama’s whoppers. Here’s an excerpt:
Obama’s whoppers about McCain’s […]
Few of us actually experience, first hand, the difference between socialized medicine and market-based health care. F. Brinley Bruton has been a patient in both types of systems, and here’s what she says about the latter:
In New York, I never feared that I would be overlooked. At my doctor’s office in upscale Gramercy Park, he and his […]
David Hogberg looks at this question in the American Spectator, and finds that the answer isn’t as easily discerned as some would have us believe.
Health outcomes are affected by many factors, including income, education level, smoking, and diet. Those factors also affect insurance status, making it difficult to discern the exact effect lack of insurance […]
As I have pointed out before, the one health care position John McCain and Barack Obama have in common is their wrong-headed support of prescription drug reimportation. It appears, however, that both candidates may be waking up:
Barack Obama and John McCain are reviewing their support for allowing individuals to import cheaper prescription drugs in light of tainted medicines and […]
As it happens, I’m not very religious. I do, however, respect those for whom religion is important. And, as any informed observer knows, this group includes many of our greatest leaders—-past and present.
On the other hand, I have nothing but contempt for people who combine smugness, faux-secularism, and historical ignorance. As the following video demonstrates, this group includes Charlie Gibson:
What […]
While head inquisitor Hollis French waited in vain for Todd Palin to appear for his show trial, ABC News was trying its best to breath new life into the sham troopergate investigation:
An internal government document obtained by ABC News appears to contradict Sarah Palin’s most recent explanation for why she fired her public safety chief, the move which […]
While participating in a debate about universal health care, Paul Krugman apparently wanted to demonstrate how happy Canadians are with their health care system. So, he decided to involve the audience in the discussion, with the following result:
PAUL KRUGMAN
And private insurance? That’s the thing, I— Actually, can I just —I wanted to ask a question. And—
