Obama Wants To Crucify Healthcare on Resurrection Sunday
→ CanadaFreePress.Com | 10 Mar 2010 | 1:06 am MST
The presidential Messiah has been an unsuccessful god: he can’t raise the dead or heal the sick he could care less about, except when it comes to vote-grabbing from poor minorities and the elderly he and House Democrats love to scare to death.

Electric utilities are constructing expensive and inefficient solar plants because of subsidies and mandates from federal and state governments. The subsidies are not free–they come from the American taxpayer. And once the subsidies expire, consumers will pay higher electricity rates. So, either as taxpayers or as consumers, the American public is paying for these facilities. Ultimately, this means that the American economy is paying premium prices for a basic product essential for economic growth and competitiveness—electricity.

We keep insisting on hearing this sort of thing if we’re ever to even consider the “muslims are against terrorism too” claim, so when we do find an example, it’s incumbent upon us to cheer it on. A “duty” that we find not hard at all. (h/t DPUD) :British imams must do more to condemn terrorism [...]

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.

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.
