The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has been held up as the model for the liberal government rationed health care solutions now in front of Congress as Obamacare. I have written extensively on the NHS and its hellish, substandard performance (see here). In government rationed health care systems costs are contained by selecting who is […]

Jerry Doyle made an excellent point on his radio show this afternoon. If the liberals want “competition” through government rationed health care (a.k.a., the ‘public option’) let’s have competition all around. Let’s allow private sector retirement investment options to Social Security, where those who want to put their trust in the free market verses the […]

One wonders how someone can over-engineer a solution to the point it is worse than the problem, but DC and Congress are extremely gifted in the craft. In this country we have the world’s best health care. Accessible to all either through insurance or on a walk-in basis or as a poverty program (Medicare/Medicaid). No […]

Unemployment. It was the first issue the liberal Democrats in DC claimed they had answers for, and they even mapped out their plan for success in taming our beaten economy using government spending programs. To see why the Democrats are not credible takes only one simple, powerful picture: Click to enlarge. That dark blue line […]

I need to start this post with a heart felt recognition for doctors and nurses. I once dabbled with the idea of going into medicine, before I admitted to myself that the bottomless well of emotional stamina and caring required for those jobs was just not something I had. Scientifically I probably had the skills, […]

Liberals are so clueless to what they are trying to push on health care they refuse to understand what government rationed (e.g., ‘cost savings’) health care is. They idiotically claim their are no ‘death panels’ or ‘rationing’ in their ‘public option’ – but then again I know of no law that specifies ‘clueless bureaucrat’, ‘mountains […]

Team Obama really is incredibly naive. They spent all year in the background on all their key issues by letting lose the fanatical left wing of the party to run amok on the faux stimulus bill, taxing energy to battle science fiction BS and to destroy the world’s premier health care system and replace it […]

I have to admit, while I opposed him in the election I had hoped my concerns over President Obama’s inexperience and far left tendencies would not be a major handicap for the man. Sadly, I was right – the President’s naive team has pretty much wasted all his political capitol and he and the Democrats […]

Democrats are about to do in 7 months what it took the GOP to do in 7 years, and that is piss off and offend the independent center of this nation’s electorate to the point the centrists vote them out of power with gusto. It is a multi-pronged problem, but it’s central force is an […]

The liberal resurgence which was so inevitable with the 2008 elections, where the Democrats (and their liberal old dog guard in DC) took the reigns of power in DC. It looked as if America was in for years of leftward tacking. But leave it to those whacky liberals on the far left and their grade […]
