The Impact of Obama's Health Care Reform

Posted on May 20, 2010 | 6 comments

Obama was right.  The health care industry needed, and still does need, reform.  Many many aspects of the industry are languishing under bad laws, bad incentives and bad practices.  We all need to understand that and move forward in some form of meaningful reform.  And there are ways to do it.  And there are ways NOT to do it.

Barack Obama: Now an Official Idiot

Posted on May 19, 2010 | Leave a comment

The absolute absurdity of our President has been reaffirmed today.  The man is a walking example of everything that is wrong with our politic today.  Uninformed and uncaring about how systems should actually work, Barack just meanders through his version of public opinion and attached unto the vein of the populist.

Coffee With Cato: II

Posted on May 11, 2010 | 3 comments

Obama nominated his second Justice to the court.  I’m pretty sure that even he can’t screw this one up.  The Democrats still control 59 seats in the Senate so this is as close to a slam dunk as possible.
