TAX AND SPEND:

Obama expands welfare by presidential fiat.

Obama continues his Cloward and Piven strategy. What's so bad about this is Romney will continue it too because he won't cut a thing.

""The reason," he explained, "is taking a trillion dollars out of a $15 trillion economy would cause our economy to shrink [and] would put a lot of people out of work.""

Just like Obama, Romney believes in the fallacy that government spending is good for the economy. We're screwed.

Americans had to work until July 15, over six months, to pay off this year's burden of government.

HEALTH CARE:

British pharmaceutical giant to pay $3 billion fine.

Obama refers to Obamacare mandate as a tax.

USA Today wants us to believe that we will pay very little more for Obamacare, but they're wrong.

"Though the law is projected to raise at least $675 billion in revenue over the coming decade, nearly half comes from about 3.5 million taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes above $200,000. Employers, insurers and health care providers are slated to fork over much of the rest."

Isn't that generous of employers, insurers and health care providers to pay that extra money out of their own pockets. But they won't. They will raise prices on us, so we'll pay for it. We'll also pay for it with a weaker economy.

This is an excellent point about personal choices regarding health care by market actors is not rationing.

"The market does not ration or allocate. The market does not do anything. It has no purposes or objectives. It is simply a legal framework in which people do things with their justly acquired property and their time in order to pursue their own purposes."

"When a person buys five apples in a grocery store rather than 10 because he wishes to use the rest of his money for other purposes, it seems entirely wrong to say the market (or even the grocer) has rationed the apples. The customer makes his choice on the basis of his preferences and the money available (which is the result of previous transactions)."

This is an important point to remember.

Internal documents admit why government licenses people:

"This week Forbes is reporting that the main driver of the state crackdown on Cooksey is the national Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association). Forbes reports this group, based on internal documents the magazine says it obtained, pushes states to establish powerful dietetics and nutrition boards—like the board in North Carolina that has targeted Cooksey—“for the express purpose of limiting market competition for its Registered Dietitian members.” (Emphasis in original.)"

That's it.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

IPCC revamps, tacitly admitting its previous activities were politically biased and inaccurate.

"If the IPCC’s reports were flawed, as a many global warming “skeptics” have long claimed, then the scientific footing of the man-made global warming movement — the environmental movement’s “mother of all environmental scares” — is undermined.  The Obama administration’s war on coal may be unnecessary.  Billions of dollars in subsidies to solar and wind may have been wasted.  Trillions of dollars of personal income may have been squandered worldwide in campaigns to “fix” a problem that didn’t really exist."

May be?

POLITICS:

The coming civil war between America's producers and looters. This is the civil war Obama has been trying to start, and it's coming regardless of who wins the election.

Obama holding fundraisers in Switzerland, Sweden, France and China. Huh? It's illegal for foreigners to contribute to politicians. I'm sure these could be held for Americans overseas, but this is undoubtedly a scheme to get foreign money.

LOCAL:

Red light cameras capture city vehicles routinely running red lights.

"Dayton’s photo enforcement cameras routinely catch city vehicles, RTA buses, school buses, police cruisers, fire trucks and ambulances blowing through red lights, a Dayton Daily News investigation found.

Some of them get a pass, including police and fire vehicles regardless of whether there’s any indication they are responding to an emergency, the newspaper found."

This is a good reminder that laws are for us serfs, not our rulers.
