As the White House brags that lost jobs resulting from O’Care make Americans free to pursue other activities, the jury is still out. Many researchers conclude that O’Care is taking its toll on the declining average workweek—certainly not good news for a robust and stable economy. The Wall Street Journal reports: Job creation rose from […]
Just Don’t Get Sick before 2017
You want an exemption? You’ve got an exemption. According to the WSJ, the shifting legal benchmarks of O’Care—the “law of the land”—offer an exemption to anyone who could conceivably want one. If, as Obama’s lawyers argued before the Supreme Court, the individual mandate is vital to making Obamacare work, does Obama’s suspending the mandate mean […]
Lies, Lies, Lies of Obamacare
Read here a true-life story of how one 61-year-old woman was forced into an Obamacare-compliant health plan to the tune of over $12,000 a year—more than double what she was paying pre-O’Care. She is not eligible for subsidies, and, at 61, she has no need for maternity care, newborn care, or pediatric services, all of […]
You Have to Pass the Bill to Rewrite the Bill
Does anyone have a reasonable explanation of how Obama has the legal authority to suspend duly passed congressional tax legislation? Is there not a constitutional test of Obama’s usurpation of authority? Obama’s grand vision seems not to be hampered by the Constitution. Could mandates not have been eliminated to help hold the price of insurance […]
$100+ Million and Obamacare Still on the Fritz in Oregon

What’s wrong with a robust individual heath insurance market with the ability to buy across state lines and high deductibles? But it’s not to be. Instead, as Wired magazine explains, Oregon has paid […]

The telegraph was in its infancy and allowed “live” reporting from the Crimea battlefield to London. Along with the telegraph, the use of railroads for transporting troops and equipment and the […]
Hungry for Paris?
No, I’m not referring to Alexander Lobrano’s book by the same name just yet. But yes, Alec Lobrano does have a 2nd edition of his book coming out soon, and I’ll get to that in a minute. In this Hungry for Paris, I’m referring to David Lebovitz—former Chez Panisse pastry chef, as well as food […]
Bullied, Burdened & Jerked Around
Americans are drowning in a sea of debt, paper work, rules and regulations. Yet voters continue to send to Washington a class of political elites with no experience to lead and no desire to stop America’s tsunami-like spending. According to Gallup, 72% of Americans are of the view that big government is a more of […]
Obama and Congress Abandon any Pretense of Fiscal Restraint
As Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner explains, in 2008, when President Obama first took office, public debt equaled 39% of GDP. Today it is over 73%, the largest share since 1950 when America was still paying down WWII debt. When President Obama took office, debt held by the public equaled 39 percent of GDP. Today, it […]
