One of the major ideas behind Obamacare and Romneycare (the Massachusetts government controlled health care program) is to force people to be responsible and get coverage of their own. The methodologies of both programs may actually having the opposite effect. The reason for this is that governments typically do not understand human nature. They do not [...]
Recently I stumbled on a fascinating article at ZeroHedge.com on the “50 ugliest facts about the US economy.” It paints quite a picture. I suggest you read the article in its entirety, but here are some of the facts that stuck out to me:
“According to the Tax Foundation’s Microsimulation Model, to erase the 2010 U.S. [...]
Gov. Chris Christie has dominated the news more than virtually any other state leader recently, with the possible exception of Arizona’s Jan Brewer (because of immigration) and Louisiana’s Bobby Jindal (due to the BP crisis). Yet, Christie’s problems are no more profound than those facing other governors around the country. Many are on the brink [...]
Rarely would one expect to find anything interesting from an agency called the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), but a report on how emergency rooms are used and by types of groups is creating quite the stir among advocates of government health care and ammunition for opponents of socialized medicine.

It seems as though millions of Americans have woken up to the reality that the United States is on the fast track towards socialism. The individual is shrinking in importance as we give homage to the collective mob. This is not a new problem. Barack Obama has simply made the situation so [...]
In early 2009 the Obama administration informed us that, without more subsidies, the US would see unemployment of eight percent. In a little over a year the government has spent trillions of dollars in bailouts and unemployment is now at ten percent. Furthermore, there is no sign of relief in sight. With that, Obama is trying to do [...]
I am always shocked by the type of policy proposals that come from the political left. As a rule, the left completely disregards the ability of humans to respond to policy in a protective manner — be it taxation, regulation, or licensure laws. The way individuals and businesses protect themselves is usually in a manner [...]
I grew up in Detroit, Michigan and left that city when I was 13 years old. It was bad then. The common joke among “Michiganders” that “flew” South in search of jobs and opportunities is that we hoped that “the last person who leaves turns the lights out.” That was back in the 1970s and [...]
