  3. Pop Quiz: What do student loans and health care insurance have in common?

    Answer: Nothing. But that won’t stop the House from tossing student loan reform into that health care bill nobody likes. It’s hard to imagine how their thought process works, but one thing’s for sure:  They could screw up a free lunch. As if the Health Care No Reform bill isn’t offensive enough to everyone except the health [...]

    Health care is a set of goods and services that are procured through payments.Is the right to life, or liberty, or the pursuit of happiness facilitated by the transfer of funds? Of course not. Our country's founders would never have countenanced the mandated delivery of services compelled by an authoritarian, centralized government. That was precisely the type of system they were trying to

Well….somehow, someway, something went awry.

This is what’s been used against him, but he couldn’t sell watermelons if you gave him a state trooper to flag down the traffic…” Notice how Matthews glossed over the remark as though he didn’t hear it.

  79. School Civil Rights Chief: "We Are Back in Business"

    → Bizblogger | 8 Mar 2010 | 6:03 am MST

    Our post-racial president is again being singularly focused on one issue: race - this time in the classrooms. Apparently Obama is going to crack down on schools that don't give the same opportunity to both whites and blacks, however he decides to define that.

    According to an advance text of the speech, Mr. Duncan is expected to say the department will focus on racial disparities in the availability and quality of high-school college-preparatory classes and on the differences in how students of different races are disciplined in public schools.

    Hey, what could go wrong?

  84. How Democrats Ballooned Teen Unemployment

    → Bizblogger | 5 Mar 2010 | 6:26 am MST


    It's hard to understate how damaging the Democrat agenda on minimum wages has been for teen unemployment. It would be nice if Congress could magically wave a wand and make everyone richer by raising wages. Unfortunately, the free market teaches us over and over again that there are terrible consequences when wages are artificially moved.

    As the WSJ points out and shows in the graph, the minimum wage increase from $5.15 to 5.85 in 2007 had a minimal effect because overall unemployment was under 5% and the rate hadn't budged in nearly a decade. However, the subsequent increases to $6.55 and then $7.25 under the direction of the great economist Nancy Pelosi has been a disaster. Total teen employment has jumped by over 150% to a 25% rate, while black unemployment is nearly 50%.

    This is a tragedy and it's unfortunate and nearly criminal that the people who make laws in this country have no comprehension of how the economy works.


  85. Obama's Pro-Nuclear Facade

    → Bizblogger | 5 Mar 2010 | 6:10 am MST

    Like literally everything Obama says publicly, his pro-nuclear stance over the last two weeks is nothing but a big fat lie. The only reason he even got to claim that lie is that the single nuclear facility currently underway continues to move along - but it started during the George H.W. Bush administration. How else to explain the position that Obama's taking to terminate the Yucca mountain nuclear waste facility, without which, will be impossible for most states to even consider building new nuclear plants. From the WSJ:

    Michael Morris, chief executive of American Electric Power Co., said on Thursday that "there has to be a reaction," because Yucca is the only site that's been vetted and deemed capable of storing waste from the nation's 104 operating power reactors. Speaking at a Wall Street Journal conference, he blasted the "idiocy of Yucca Mountain" being terminated as a repository and said the government will have wasted $10 billion on the project if it doesn't proceed.

    The only thing Obama has said is, "there are better options," without of course, naming any other options.
