WHO WROTE OBAMACARE?

In their dissenting opinion some of our SCOTUS justices said:"The Court has been informed by distinguished economists that the Act’s Individual Mandate
and Medicaid expansion would each increase revenues to the insurance industry by about $350 billion
over 10 years; that this combined figure of $700 billion is necessary to offset the approximately $700
billion in new costs to the insurance industry imposed by the Act’s insurance regulations and taxes; and
that the new $700 billion burden would otherwise dwarf the industry’s current profit margin.”

So the government has made it more expensive to insure the customer, and at the same time has guaranteed more revenue to the biggest players in insurance. For decades in Idaho we have kept a barrier up to insurance companies wanting to compete here. Suddenly the same people who have opposed free-market forces/reforms all along are claiming their heavily regulated and controlled exchange will result in more competition. I am afraid the public is getting lied to again. The only winners in this sleazy pact are big government and big corporate interests. It is time we found out who really wrote Obamacare, I think it would explain a lot of this corporate fascism.

Disabled "Recovery"

A real recovery shows up with vigorous private sector job growth. But as this article notes: "The number of people with jobs is still nearly 5 million below its pre-recession peak." And programs that pay people not to work are the essence of this "recovery".

Government Lies

The storm builds and approaches. While it is fascinating to watch the financial fireworks overseas, it begs the question, what will the grand finale look like? If it works its way up the chain to the world histories biggest debtor, we will not be able to say it came without warning. Centralized control over everything from money to medicine has proven itself a failure every time it has been tried, but don't expect those who are drunk with power to promote the principles of freedom from the top down. It must come from the bottom up. Our own history proves the wonders of individual liberties and a morally restrained government, so the question before us is, which history will we repeat? The failed policies of socialism, or the policies which once defined us as a nation?

Dear Fellow Stockholders

I just wanted to share this update on "our" company (GM). Seriously, have our politicians done such a good job with our nation's financial management that we want them managing everything from manufacturing to medicine? The truth is that the free market is organic in its action. Like a living organism the life death cycle is a health maintaining dynamic. Old companies die, and young, vibrant, competitive businesses buy their assets on sale and make the assets productive again. Corruption, incompetence, and lethargy get punished in a free market but not when the politically well-connected are all deemed too big to fail and are bailed out by politicians.
