YOUR FUTURE UNDER GOVT-RUN HEALTH CARE, PATIENT NEGLECT AT BRITAIN’S NHS
RYAN: OBAMA’S BUDGET “DEBT ON ARRIVAL”
I may be mistaken, but I get the feeling that the Chairman of the House Budget Committee, Pual Ryan, is not all that nuts about the President’s proposed budget:
Debt on arrival. D-E-B-T on arrival … Look, he raises spending everywhere. He raises taxes everywhere, increases borrowing. The trajectory of this budget is in the wrong direction. […]
VIDEO: HERMAN CAIN’S SPEECH ON HEALTH CARE “DEFORM” & OTHER OBAMANATIONS
At CPAC, Cain calls for the elimination of the three deadly “ations”: regulation, legislation and taxation. He’s thinking about running for President. In many ways, he’s the perfect candidate.
He has no health care baggage (Romney), he’s no RINO (Daniels), he isn’t another dull nerd (Pawlenty), he’s less vulnerable to shameless media smear campaigns (Palin) and he’s […]
JOSHUA GOLDBERG
I wasn’t lucky enough to know Joshua personally, but I’m one of the many beneficiaries of his work at Lucianne.com and BlogsLucianneLoves. I remember how excited I was the first time an Ldotter posted one of my op-ed pieces at Lcom and continue to be grateful for the exposure he gave my humble blog via BLL.
And yet, […]
VIDEO: OBAMA’S HEALTH CARE CZAR RAKED OVER THE COALS BY REP. TOM PRICE, M.D.
Yesterday, Tom Price, M.D. (R-GA) questioned Donald Berwick, recess-appointed administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, at a hearing in the House Committee on Ways & Means. And Dr. Price was none too gentle about it. He pressed him especially hard on the promise that Americans could keep coverage that they like under ObamaCare. Berwick’s […]
VIDEO: CBO DIRECTOR SAYS OBAMACARE WILL KILL 800,000 JOBS
CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf testified before the House Budget Committee today, and said that Obamacare will reduce the number of jobs in the labor market by an estimated 800,000. This revelation came in response to the following question from Rep. John Campbell:
You just mentioned that you believe, or that in your estimate, that the health care law […]
VIDEO: NELSON VS. NELSON ON THE MANDATE
Ben Nelson wants to be re-elected in 2012, so he has suddenly flip-flopped on the ObamaCare mandate. On Chris Matthews he claims he wants to replace it with a “market-based” solution:
But that’s not what he was saying during the long ObamaCare debate. Here’s what he told the guys at NPR during the run-up to his YES vote on the individual […]
DEMOCRATS DEMAND THAT CLARENCE THOMAS RECUSE HIMSELF ON OBAMACARE CASES
These people crack me up. They spend nearly a year telling us that there is no chance the Supreme Court will hear the ObamaCare legal challenges, then they send Clarence Thomas a nastygram demanding that he recuse himself from those cases the high court allegedly won’t take:
Seventy-four House Democrats are asking Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to […]
VIDEO: WHY BIG GOVT IS BAD GOVT
The reason economics is called the dismal science is because it is math intensive and not sexy. But it’s IMPORTANT to KNOW this stuff. The Center for Freedom & Prosperity provides this short video that eases the pain a little by allowing an attractive young woman to provide the facts about out-of-control-government spending:
OBAMACARE COMIC BOOK COMING OUT … NO, REALLY.
It has long been the conviction of our betters in Washington that the reason no one likes ObamaCare is that we just don’t get it. We voters are, to be precise, too dumb to know what’s good for us. So, the genius who designed this boondoggle is planning to spell it out for us in a comic book:
The […]
