George Bush continues to pretend he supports free markets. You know what's really sick is I think he believes it. George Bush obviously has no idea what a free market is.
Mises scholar recognizes that President Obama is intentionally harming our economy, but I don't agree with this theory about his motives. While Obama undoubtedly wants personal wealth for him and his co-conspirators from looting, his primary goal, imo, is to harm America.
Advertisement for roommate allows only people who voted for Obama.
Cato analysis shows that Obama's financial regulation scheme is a scam that ignores the real problems with our financial network and therefore will create bigger and worse financial crises in the future by protecting the biggest institution from market forces that keep them honest.
The WSJ breaks down Obama's financial regulation proposal.
Obama team enjoys their phony stimulus numbers.
Boortz showcases Republicans' big government health care alternative. While not as bad as Democrats' bigger government health care plans, this Republican plan is still all about government, not freedom. Stupid.
How Congress abused Medicaid so it's now crushing state budgets and how Obama's health care plan will be similar.
Obama health care bill delayed in Senate.
ABC to run Obama infomercial on health care, but they won't accept ads for free market health care alternative because they don't accept advocacy ads. I wonder if the spokesman made that response with a straight face. Just because NBC provided a similar infomercial for HillaryCare in 1994 doesn't make it OK.
Obama wants tax and trade legislation passed next week. Obama knows his honeymoon is crashing, and he's desperate to pass some of his agenda before it's gone completely. Time to write the representatives. I think Obama is a master of distraction. He likes to make speeches on one subject right before Congress votes on another. That way the people are distracted from what's important - what's going on Congress. Right now he's making speeches about health care and financial reform to distract Americans from tax and trade.
It's no coincidence that the aristocrats leading the energy debate on both sides are invested in companies that would benefit if their side wins the debate. Aristocrats want to make money for themselves and their families like everybody else, and their political battles are about improving their lives at our expense.
The Pentagon claims that protests are an example of low-level terrorism. I guess they never heard of the right to assemble acknowledged in the first amendment. Obama loves the right for ACORN to assemble, but the rest of us are terrorists when we do it.
Obama is about the only leader silent on Iran's election fraud. He has nothing to gain by condemning the elections. First, condemning those elections would open him up for attacks about election fraud in 2008. Second, he wants to charm Ahmadinejad into giving up his nuclear program.
Inspector General fired by Obama for investigating large Obama donor fights back. If George Bush had done this, Democrats would have called for an independent counsel already and the press would have run front page articles every day since it happens. Just like when Bush fired the US Attorneys.
Obama's war on business takes a bizarre twist when the FDA attacks Cheerios for claiming to be a drug. This is surreal power play. Get your damn hands off my Cheerios, Obama.
Here's a chart that shows just how badly Obama's economic policies have hurt America - so far. If Obama had done nothing, unemployment would have leveled off at about 9 percent. But because Obama saddles us with more new debt than all other presidents combined, unemployment continues to rise at a steady pace, will pass 10 percent and go even higher. The more government grows, the manage damage it will do.
Cato launches website dedicated to health care policy. Cool.
Cato advocates unleashing health status insurance as a free market solution to our health care problems. Health status insurance is an inexpensive insurance that guarantees you can get insurance at a later date even if develop some sickness warranting it. Cato explains that allowing Americans to control their health insurance instead employers would reduce costs.
Charles Krauthammer slams Obama for his silence on the unrest in Iran.
"And where is our president? Afraid of "meddling." Afraid to take sides between the head-breaking, women-shackling exporters of terror -- and the people in the street yearning to breathe free. This from a president who fancies himself the restorer of America's moral standing in the world."I think Obama has much more sympathy with the Mullahs than the Iranian people.
Pat Buchanan thinks Obama is smart to stay silent on Iran, but he sets up a false choice. Obama's choices aren't limited to doing nothing and condemning the Mullahs. Obama can support the will of the Iranian people, whatever it is, and express his desire for their safety.
In a fabulous essay, Jonah Goldberg laments the betrayal of capitalism by big business.
"Some historians claim Caesar actually said, "Tu quoque, fili mi?" or, "You too, my child?"But this isn't a new phenomenon. Big business has been in bed with government for decades at least. Big business has always pushed government to protect it from competition. But not until the Bush/Obama administration has it been anywhere near this successful.
Whether that's more accurate, it certainly seems a more fitting declaration as the coup de grace of capitalism's murder is at the hands of its most successful child: big business.
Everywhere we look we see the great and once-great beneficiaries of free markets running to the state for protection from the cruel bullying of competition. On health care, insurance companies and others repeat the mantra that they want to be "at the table rather than on the menu," all the better to be positioned as a tax collector of the welfare state. General Motors and Chrysler have gone from being pimped-out prostitutes of the state to outright chattel more akin to the leather-bound gimp in "Pulp Fiction," eager to do the bidding of the president and the UAW."
