THE STUPID PARTY WILL PERMIT OBAMACARE FUNDING TO GO FORWARD

This is why the GOP is called the “stupid party.” These people have a major learning disability. The voters who put John Boehner and Eric Cantor in charge of the House want ObamaCare defunded. But these boneheads are going to allow $105 billion in ObamaCare funding to remain the upcoming continuing resolution:
House Majority Leader Eric […]

WISCONSIN: DEMS RUN & DOCTORS HIDE

Milton Wolf’s latest column for the Washington Times points out that Wisconsin Democrats, like their counterparts from Indiana, Texas and inside the Beltway, are cowards:
Wisconsin state Senate Democrats cowering under their beds in an Illinois no-tell motel … Indiana Democrats also turned Hoosier tail and ran to Illinois … In 2003, Texas Democrats went yellow and […]

VIDEO: PSA FOR TWITS WHO BELIEVE TAXING THE RICH WILL SOLVE OUR FISCAL WOES

Many people seem to believe that we can pay for ObamaCare, overpaid public sector employees and all manner of other government boondoggles by simply raising taxes on the rich. Such people need to learn arithmetic. Mary Katharine Ham does the math:
The combined net worth of every single one of America’s billionaires is roughly $1.3 trillion. It does indeed sound […]

AUDIO: BACHMANN SAYS GOP LEADERSHIP REFUSES TO KILL OBAMACARE FUNDING

In this radio interview,  Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) explain that the GOP leadership is not willing to remove $105 billion in ObamaCare funding from the upcoming continuing resolution because they are afraid Obama won’t sign it and they will be blamed for a government shutdown. Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Cantor and […]

THE WHITE HOUSE WAIVER ON TRANSPARENCY

In my latest column for the American Spectator, I delve further into the waiver scandal and the breathtaking hypocrisy of the President on secret meetings with health care stakeholders during the ObamaCare debate: 
In a 2006 speech to the National Press Club about lobbying reform, then Senator Barack Obama waxed eloquent about the malevolent influence of special interests on Washington […]

VIDEO: NPR AN “ALL WHITE OPERATION” PER JUAN WILLIAMS

This characteristic, along with their anti-semitism and general condescension toward people of color, is something they have in common with most progressives. Williams phrases it thus:
I think the fact that I was a journalist who was not … just a black journalist, but something larger and sometimes even conservative in a point of view … […]

MAINE GETS AN OBAMACARE WAIVER, MORE STATES LINE UP FOR EXEMPTIONS

Yep. You read that correctly. The entire state of Maine has been awarded an ObamaCare waiver by Health and Human Services. And unlike the other thousand waivers HHS has handed out, this lasts for 3 years (see page 2):
The federal government Tuesday granted Maine a waiver of a key provision in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul …
Why? […]

GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE IN THEORY AND PRACTICE

Dr. Paul Hsieh has a good column at Liberty Ink Journal, exposing the wide chasm between the promises of socialized medicine and its actual results:
An old joke runs, ‘In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.’ Nowhere is the gulf between theory and practice more clear than in socialized medical systems […]

OBAMACARE PROGNOSIS LOOKING GRIM

ObamaCare has been pronounced dead before and yet continued to linger on in a vegetative state. However, as Dr. Milton Wolf points out in the Washington Times, its vital signs are fading:
Obamacare is living on borrowed time … the laws of economics and the laws of the land are racing to see which will take it […]

WHITE HOUSE STONEWALLS CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF HEALTH CARE MEETINGS

Last year, during the ObamaCare debate, the White House held a number of closed-door meetings with union leaders and a variety of other outside interest groups. The President’s many promises of transparency notwithstanding, neither the press nor the public were permitted to attend.
So, the House Energy and Commerce Committee sent a letter to Nancy-Ann DeParle, […]
