At this time, when the WH and the left are riddled with scandals that show their disdain for democracy and their love for the every abuse of power they always pretend is done by the other side – at least it should now be obvious why the left always seems to feel the other side will abuse power, and that’s because they are just projecting based on what they will do – we should pay … Read more

Is Krugman Stupid, A Troll Or A Stupid Troll?
Paul Krugman — fresh off his I’m smarter than you post (I have a few tasty comments in that thread that riled the libs something fierce), says this today in response to the Oregon study:
Fire Insurance Is Worthless!
After all, there’s no evidence that it prevents fires.
But strange to say (as Mark Thoma points out in correspondence), people seem to think it’s a good idea anyway.
I leave the relevance of this thought
Piling On
Apropos to Alex’s post below, the huge news in the last day is a study from Oregon that looked at the effects of expanding Medicaid. As McCardle points out, the study was done under near ideal circumstances. Oregon could not expand Medicaid to everyone who wanted it, so they created a lottery. Sociologists swooped in and recruited. The result was a study of 6000 people with Medicaid and almost 6000 without. One of the authors … Read more
UNEXPECTEDLY bad news about Obamacare- Yeah, sure.
It comes as no surpise to me that so many people as this Kaiser poll discovers, don’t even know that Obamacare is the law of the land or that the promises of “free or affordable healthcare” are plain bullshit:
A new poll finds that many Americans are confused about the health care overhaul legislation commonly called “Obamacare.” The Kaiser Family Foundation released results of a non-partisan study today finding more than 40 percent did
The Exemption
I think all of us — liberal, conservative and otherwise — can unite in saying “No Fucking Way“:
Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, sources in both parties said.
The talks — which involve Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John
The Continued Implosion of Obamacare
A labor union representing roofers is reversing course and calling for repeal of the federal health law, citing concerns the law will raise its cost for insuring members.
Organized labor was instrumental in getting the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, but more recently has voiced concerns that the law could lead members to lose their existing health plans. The United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers is believed to be
Again: you have to go to the foreign press to get the facts
Our bought & paid for DNC propagandists in the LSM are all busy providing cover for a terrible budget. For example, AP reports the budget as follows:
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is sending Congress a $3.77 trillion spending blueprint that seeks to achieve an elusive “grand bargain” to tame runaway deficits by raising taxes further on the wealthy and trimming popular benefit programs such as Social Security.
The president’s proposal being unveiled
Pelosi Watch: Healthcare Exchanges
So one of the keystones of the Obamacare plan is the health insurance exchanges. These are the inventions, borrowed from Romneycare, that will supposedly heal the diseased health insurance market, right? They are the cure to what ails us, right?
Well guess what? In one of the most predictable developments in history, it looks like they’re not going to be ready in time:
Where was the contingency plan?
That’s what Joe Klein asks upon
Fiscal discipline – donkey style.
And like the famous “donkey punch” sex maneuver, it is unpleasant for the recipient. Don’t get fooled by this bullshit NYT propaganda piece and the ludicrous claim that the fucking marxist nanny stater’s budget are doing any sort of cuts. It is all smoke and mirrors. This bullshit piece starts off with the ludicrous statement:
WASHINGTON — President Obama next week will take the political risk of formally proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare
Law abiding citizens are going to be punished, and it will not prevent another massacre
The idiot fucking leftards that run the state of CT have yet again managed to fuck over those of us that are law abiding, while doing nothing of any significance. And of course, they did it in secret, because they knew that if people found out how these fuckers where again shitting all over the 2nd amendment, they would not have been able to pull it off.
