Millions Yanked Out of Abject Poverty

Health Care: Mandatory Fun

More and more we’re seeing what happens when health care “reform” is enacted. It removes signals, it gets in between patients and care causing them to make poorly incented decisions.  More and more government money is thrown down a well, not only failing to fill the well, but actually making it larger.

All the while, government officials continue to use the promise of “No more homework” to get themselves elected into power.  And we just go deeper and deeper into debt.

A Rose by Any Other Name…

Bait and switch.   That’s all it is.See, when someone tells you that a can of beans is 20% off, but they have raised the price of that can of beans by 25% first, it’s called a “bait and switch”.  And it’s common among shucksters and politicians.

Understated Courage

How wonderfully eloquent.

The State of the State of Arizona

Arizona has really shook up the dialogue in America right now.  They are ground zero not only in the crossing of immigrants from South America into North America, but they are now ground zero for the solution.  I’m not sure if Arizona was honestly trying to protect herself or if Arizona passed this law in an effort to set fire under America.  Either way, the effect is the same.  America has noticed.

Why Does My Country Hate My Religion?

As part of a tolerant nation with laws that protect free speech and prohibit the government from becoming a religion, we don’t have to look very hard to see examples of my religion being mocked.
