Colorado House Takes on Obamacare

by Jon Caldara | 1:06 pm, January 20, 2012

Just found some more great news regarding the resistance to Obamacare. According to the Colorado News Agency, the Colorado House passed a resolution yesterday calling for a constitutional convention to repeal Obamacare. Looks like were beating back thi…

Obamacare, Price Controls, and Theft

by Bob Adelmann | 12:20 pm, January 14, 2012

I’ve written about this before: price controls ALWAYS result in shortages. Government solves shortages with rationing. Cui bono? The government. It’s the perfect scam.

Family Research Council: Individual Mandate Unconstitutional, Thus Whole Law

by Bob Adelmann | 11:54 am, January 12, 2012

The entire Obamacare law rises or falls on this point: if the mandate is unconstitutional, so is the law. Wouldn’t that be sweet? Color me anxious.

The Coming of the Universal Financial Transaction Tax

by Bob Adelmann | 12:37 pm, January 11, 2012

For a moment there I thought perhaps the insiders were opposed to a financial transactions tax as it would hurt them the most. How foolish of me! They have other purposes and objectives in mind.

Blowing Up the Euro

by Bob Adelmann | 12:30 pm, January 7, 2012

The closer I look at the situation in Europe and the increasingly desperate efforts by “the sad little entities” to save the euro and the European Union, the more persuaded I am that this is a hoax of the first order. It was never about free trade. It was always about political tyranny to be imposed as the cure for the crisis.

Don’t Get Sick! ObamaCare Means More Government, Fewer Doctors

by Bob Adelmann | 12:43 pm, January 6, 2012

Economics is just common sense. If you lower the price of something (or eliminate it altogether) the demand for it will increase. If you reduce the supply of something, the price will go up. If the government is responsible for these mandated prices and supplies, there will be shortages. End of lesson. Beginning of Obamacare reality.

Congress Asks IRS to Investigate AARP

by Bob Adelmann | 12:56 pm, January 3, 2012

My father considered the AARP the “old people’s labor union.” How close to the truth he was! AARP has figured out how to “game the system” expertly and maliciously. I wish the efforts of Reichert and the other authors much success. I don’t have much confidence that their efforts will succeed. AARP’s vested interest is likely too much even for Congress to overcome.

Two-Tier Wage Pacts Bringing Jobs Back to Detroit

by Bob Adelmann | 5:55 am, December 9, 2011

The real news here isn’t that the two-tier pacts are working, but that there is a huge paradigm shift in how workers are going to be paid in the future. The real story is having the workers enjoy the success of the company, and not the success of their unions hammering the company for more benefits.

Forbes: Rich Nations Go Broke by Overpromising and Overspending

by Bob Adelmann | 5:42 am, December 2, 2011

Just because the United States is large and rich doesn’t mean it can’t go broke. In fact it is following in the same footsteps as innumerable other rich states in history. Why would we expect a different outcome?

“Dying” for Health Insurance

by Jon Caldara | 11:54 am, September 22, 2011

The Bell Policy Center just sent around a “straight talk on health care” memo claiming that not having health insurance leads to death (for the record, I’d also submit the idea that being alive leads to death. Just sayin’). It said that the Institute of Medicine “found” 18,000 US deaths due to a lack of [...]
