Take No Joy In Bad News

E-mail Print PDF

A recent Washington Post article announced that the cost of the Health Care Law, signed by President Obama, could add $340 Billion to the deficit over the next decade. If this report is correct that’s some pretty glum news. In fact little of the promises made, when the landmark bill was made law, has come about.

But despite the evidence that the law is fiscally nothing like the way it was sold, nor has it increased accessibility—many in the health profession have exited their industry, and ; in a real way average working private-sector worker has felt more pain: There is no reason to take joy in the Health Care Law’s tenuous nature. In a very real way the Law’s success, even at this early stage, would have helped employers and by proxy their employees. Imagine if the cost-curve of health care had been helped by the implementation of the early regulations in the law. This would have been great news for everyone. But alas, such great news has not materialized.

The Utopian Candidates

E-mail Print PDF

President Obama's and Ron Paul 's visions of America may be quite different...but they are still pretty darn Utopian.

Supporters of the top two Republican candidates (Romney and Santorum) would generally admit that their guys have flaws and short-comings. Indeed to admit otherwise would be disingenuous and blind. Supporters of the top two aren’t voting for someone with whom they have lock-step agreement, because to do so would be virtually impossible considering the broad base of support that most candidates have.

Political Sniping: Recipe for a Leader

E-mail Print PDF

In the Republican debate last night in Florida one thing became painfully clear: Some candidates can withstand political sniping, and some simply can’t. Thus, some are ready to lead while others aren't.

Newt Gingrich in a moment of exasperation and weakness announced that he looked into Mitt Romney’s investments because he was “tired” of attacks from the Romney campaign concerning Newt’s involvement with Freddie and Fannie. But if Newt is tired of attacks from Mitt, he’s not ready to be the Republican candidate for president.

Bill Krystol: Short-Sighted

E-mail Print PDF

It’s been an active week in terms of activity around Ron Paul in the run up to the South Carolina Primary.  Bill Kristol said, idiotically, that Ron Paul should leave the Republican Party.  While Ron’s son Rand gave an interview and surprised a few people with one answer in particular.
