I don’t like the new health care reform because we can’t afford this right now. We are facing trillion dollar deficits for years to come! We should get our financial house in order before trying to use government funds to subsidize health insurance for millions of new people.
However, many on the right are overreacting to [...]

20 Ways ObamaCare Will Take Away Our Freedoms. (via Instapundit)
Also, ObamaCare will push 16 million more poor people on to medical welfare (Medicaid). Where is the concern about increasing welfare dependency? Did we learn nothing from the 1994 bi-partisan welfare reform to make welfare more restrictive?
This health care reform bill is perhaps the single [...]

Now we begin to really pile up the debt for our grandkids:
President Barack Obama’s budget will lead to deficits averaging nearly $1 trillion over the next decade, the CBO estimated Friday.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said President Barack Obama’s budget would lead to annual deficits averaging nearly $1 trillion for the next decade.
The estimates [...]

Is this right?
Michelle Berry runs a day-care business out of her home in Flint, MI. She thought that she owned her own business, but Berry’s been told she is now a government employee and union member. It’s not voluntary. Suddenly, Berry and 40,000 other Michigan private day-care providers have learned that union dues are being [...]

In my last post I wrote: “The country’s #1 priority for the next decade should be to get our financial house in order - not coming up with extravagant new spending programs.” An article today shows why:
WASHINGTON – It’s bad enough that Greece’s debt problems have rattled global financial markets. In the world’s largest economic [...]

Just replace “Greece” with “the US” and you can see our current path:
The Greek government has spent too much for years. Markets became concerned about this in November after the newly elected Socialist government revealed that last year’s budget deficit was more than three times as large as previously estimated. The EU says Greece’s [...]

With government spending completely out of control, one likes to think of other presidencies to look for better management. Well, it wouldn’t be the prior president, George W. Bush, because he spent like a maniac. You would like to look back to Ronald Reagan and think he did the best job. But really, he was [...]

I ran across a sane sentence in a New York Times editorial today:
America needs to shut the path to illegal entry and employment while opening smoother and more rational routes to legal immigration.
If we take this at face value, this would mean that the NYT’s editorial staff supports a secure southern border. And a [...]

I wondered what yearly temperatures have been doing in the US. I was thinking that we should look at non-urban temperatures to get a better read since as cities grow they could surely artificially alter temperature readings (roads absorb heat, car and trucks emit heat, buildings block wind, etc.). This boy and his father [...]

With the climate control meetings in Copenhagen going on, this got me to wondering how fast sea levels are expected to rise. After all, isn’t that the bottom line problem that is supposed to occur due to global warming? I have been hearing all week that the rich countries are going to cause the sea [...]

White House Communications Director Anita Dunn quit this week. The MSM reports this with no mention of what is surely a factor: her Mao comments. Did she quit on her own or was she pressured into quitting? Who knows? Don’t forget that Glenn Beck had a field day with Dunn’s Mao comments. Since Beck is [...]
