The media report that President Obama has already produced 28 speeches and town halls in the campaign to sell us his government imposed tear-down and reconstruction of health insurance and medical services, deceptively named “reform.”
Today, the stage is being set for performance #29, tonight’s hastily scheduled joint session of Congress, a blatantly arrogant and cynical [...]
A simple change to the tax code would empower millions of Americans who now must accept health plans selected by their employers to shop for better, lower cost coverage in an open market. Yet Congress and the President refuse to consider it.
We all experience continuous marketing and advertising for car insurance and life insurance. But [...]
Representative Chris Van Hollen (D) Maryland held a town hall last Friday to discuss health care with constituents. We’ve singled him out for attention because his presentation was so typical of what we’re hearing from the political-media establishment.
Van Hollin began with the current status of health care legislation. He reported that three bills had been [...]
As grim Congressmen and Senators face skeptical voters to explain their plans to vote for thousands of pages of legislation they have not read, to empower government officials to run the entire health care industry, the Cash for Clunkers program burst into the news just in time to provide some comic relief.

Bernie Madoff was sentenced last week and will spend the rest of his life in prison for defrauding investors of approximately $13 Billion. The media bellowed that his investment scheme the biggest financial crime in history.
But, the annual interest on the Obama “stimulus” or Recovery Act, $787 Billion in borrowed funds, will be at least [...]
Several readers have asked Why we report on the Obama Stimulus so often.
President Obama seeks to radically change America. To sell these ideas he and the media claim government experts can achieve near-miraculous results by borrowing and spending trillions on government intervention in the private economy.
