This time it’s Rep. Ciro Rodriguez (D-TX), who goes ballistic when one of his constituents has the audacity to ask him to stop lying about Obamacare. He starts to give some bogus talking point about the CBO, and she interrupts to say those numbers have already been revised. Then he gets in her face, shouts […]

MSM SANITIZING DONALD BERWICK’S RECORD
My latest column for the American Spectator deals with the disinformation campaign waged by the “news” media about the man Obama just installed at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services:
Donald Berwick’s views on wealth redistribution, rationing and the free market are far to the left of mainstream public opinion, and a wide variety of […]
UNEMPLOYMENT RECORD: GOP VS. DEMS
For a true sense of which party is better on the economy and unemployment, I recommend the following chart. For any progressives who might be reading this, unemployment is kinda like golf—-you want the number to be low:
The GOP was the majority party in the House from 1995 through 2006 (pink). Democrats have had control […]
KLEIN IS LYIN’ ABOUT RYAN
One of the thorniest problems facing defenders of Obama’s new Medicare Czar, Donald Berwick, is how to explain away his views on health care rationing. In a 2009 interview, he delivered himself of the following remark:
The decision is not whether or not we will ration care; the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes […]
DONALD BERWICK’S CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Donald Berwick, the Harvard windbag Obama just installed as Adminstrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, may not be an outright crook. He does, however, have conflicts of interest that render him unsuitable for the CMS post to which he has been appointed.
Robert Goldberg reports in the American Spectator that, during his tenure as president and CEO of the nonprofit Institute of […]
VIDEO: BERWICK DENOUNCES FREE MARKET
Our President, having correctly concluded that Donald Berwick would never be confirmed by the Senate as Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, shoved him down our throats with a recess appointment.
But the “news” media tell us not to worry because that all this talk about Berwick’s anti-market, statist ideology is just the GOP noise machine. […]
OBAMA PLANS RECESS APPOINTMENT FOR BERWICK
Well, by now, this shouldn’t be a surprise. Knowing that Donald Berwick is far too radical to be confirmed as the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Obama will slide him in while Congress is out of town:
President Obama intends to use a recess appointment to install Donald Berwick as the head of the […]
STUDY: OBAMACARE TO KILL 700,000 JOBS
Remember when Nancy Pelosi told us that Obamacare was going to create 400,000 jobs almost immediately? This, coming from the woman who thinks unemployment checks create jobs, does not inspire confidence.
The Beacon Hill Institute, on the other hand, employs people who understand basic economics. So, in an economy characterized by the disappearance of 8 million jobs, it’s time to revisit their analysis […]
VIDEO: OBAMA DOJ FREED THIS WHACKJOB?
A few weeks ago a progressive medblogger with whom I occasionally cross swords scoffed at my suggestion that the Justice Department was being used to impose Obama’s vision of health care on the country, calling it a paranoiac conspiracy theory. In reality, there is absolutely NOTHING the Obama DoJ would shrink from in its effort to transform the country into a banana republic.
That’s […]
VA HOSPITAL EXPOSES 1,800 VETS TO HIV?
For years, progressives have extolled the virtues of the VA hospital system. Ignoring the veterans who have actually been subjected to its tender mercies, advocates of government-run health care doggedly insist that the VA provides better health care than the private system. Well, they may have trouble selling that BS after this debacle:
The Department of Veterans Affairs […]
