Washington Gridlock

Posted by Jason on February 11th, 2010 under Democrat, Healthcare, Obama, Politics Tags: , , ,  •  1 Comment

It seems a natural feeling whether you are Republican or Democrat or Independent to be annoyed at the lack of ability to get anything done in Washington DC.  One could argue, its particularly disappointing that Obama hasn’t been able to accomplish anything despite a super majority in the House and Senate.  It often makes me wonder [...]

This post from Keith Hennessey is a bit long, but worth reading.  He dissects Obama’s blame game regarding our deficit.  http://keithhennessey.com/2010/02/04/need-future-focus/

I read an interesting WSJ op-ed today.  You can read it here.  I’ve long thought the young people of our country should oppose the health care reform.  We all know, the primary users of health care are the elderly.   As the baby boomers are entering retirement, they will need more health care.  Since they are [...]

Obama’s Prevention Savings Myth

Posted by Taylor on August 28th, 2009 under Economics, Healthcare, Obama Tags: , ,  •  No Comments

President Obama has been sincere in addressing criticisms of his health care overhaul. At a recent townhall meeting, it was noted that he asked for tougher questions because he was being thrown “softies.”
One of the biggest concerns at this meeting was whether a private company could compete with a public government-sponsored option. [...]

Harry Reid and other Democrats keep calling the protests astroturf, saying they are being organized by health insurance companies and Republicans.  The protestors have been called “stooges of the insurance industry” by White House aide Linda Douglas.  Nancy Pelosi says the protestors are carrying swastikas to the meetings.
I know the political games will never end, [...]
