Paul Krugman isn’t a stupid man. He is, however, such a slave to his ideology that he often makes claims for which the only appropriate adjective is ”dumb.” Yesterday, for example, he produced a blog post in which he made following preposterous assertion:
[T]he Medicare actuaries believe that the cost-saving provisions in the Obama health reform will make a huge […]

DUMBEST REFORM POST OF THE WEEK (XIII)
Jonathan Chait is the easy winner this week with this idiotic post, in which he suggests that gun owners should pay more for health coverage than people who do not own guns:
Of course, people who keep guns in their home are choosing to run the risk of incurring injury or death … But now those […]
DONALD BERWICK’S BRAZEN HYPOCRISY
Obama’s new Medicare Czar has made arrangements to keep himself off the very government health care program through which he plans to impose rationing on the rest of us. The folks at Pajamas Media were kind enough to run my column on Berwick’s hypocrisy:
Dr. Berwick has made sure that he and his wife will never be subjected to […]
NEW MEDICARE CZAR OPTS OUT OF MEDICARE
It’s bad enough that Donald Berwick favors every bad idea the Left has hatched in the past century—-central-planning, wealth redistribution and health care rationing.
Now we discover that he has made a special deal with his former employer to avoid the very health care system he plans to impose on the most vulnerable of our citizens:
Berwick […]
VIDEO: SHAKE-UP AT BERWICK’S BELOVED NHS
One of the tragic ironies of Obama’s recess appointment of Donald Berwick, an avid admirer of Britain’s socialized medical system, is that the UK itself has taken its first step AWAY from the failed command and control model.
Like France, and other European social democracies, Britain’s leadership has finally figured out that the old top-down, central […]
POTUS CELEBRATES 90-DAY ANNIVERSARY OF OBAMACARE CRAM-DOWN
This has got to be the most ridiculous Presidency in American history. Today, Barack Obama celebrated the “anniversary” of his arrogant defiance of the public will on health care reform:
Marking the 90-day anniversary of signing the health care bill into law, President Obama today touted that Americans across the country are already seeing the effect of […]
DOJ SAYS OBAMA LIED ABOUT MANDATE
That’s the clear implication of the legal argument that Obama’s Department of Justice is using to fend off a lawsuit brought by 20 state AGs who say the individual mandate is unconstitutional:
In order to protect the new national health care law from legal challenges, the Obama administration has been forced to argue that the individual mandate represents […]
OBAMACARE TO KICK A MILLION LOW-INCOME WORKERS OFF THEIR HEALTH PLANS
Remember when the President promised that “reform” would not force workers off health plans with which they were satisfied? Well, we have yet more evidence that this was just another of Obama’s trademark lies:
Part of the health care overhaul due to kick in this September could strip more than 1 million people of their insurance coverage, violating a key […]
THE IGNORANCE ECONOMY
In his latest column Thomas Sowell explains, in a single paragraph, why the Obama recession continues unabated:
Even though some people say we are living in a “knowledge economy,” we are living in a political atmosphere in which ignorance has more power than ever.
He then explains how this affects the economy:
Washington politicians who have never run […]
OBAMA WILL HOLD TOWN HALL TO PROMOTE BILLION-DOLLAR VOTE-BUYING SCHEME
Tomorrow, the President will kick off a new campaign to sell Obamacare the American public. He will hold a town hall in Maryland to unveil what has to be the most brazen vote-buying scheme of modern times:
Mr. Obama travels to Wheaton, MD … to trumpet one of the law’s most popular features: $250 rebate checks […]
