I chuckled when I first heard that 24% of republicans believe that Obama is the Anti-Christ. As I kept hearing this stat on every news program, it began to get on my nerves. Polls have always seemed a little sketchy to me, now they appear down right dumb. (more…)

Are You “Giddy” Over Healthcare?
Friday, March 19th, 2010Rep. James Clyburn said this week he was “giddy” over the report from the CBO. The bean counters said the big healthcare bill will cost just under a trillion dollars and reduce the deficit at the same time. That’s like telling me you saved the family money by buying a dress on sale. (more…)
What is the Forgotten Healthcare Issue?
Friday, February 26th, 2010I watched President Obama’s health summit for as long as I could. I didn’t see beer so I assume it was a water and lunch summit. During periods of boredom I would search online as each politician would give their talking points. Did you know that every state has a department to regulate and control the health insurance industry? (more…)
Why is Small Business Not Hiring?
Sunday, January 24th, 2010I am in business for myself. My number one goal, besides making a profit, is not having employees. I wonder how many other small business owners feel the same way? It’s no surprise that the unemployment rate hangs above 10%. The government is smothering small business. Too bad Obama only hires Ivy League academics with big business buddies for advisers. (more…)

Is Anyone Open to New Healthcare Ideas?
Sunday, January 17th, 2010Tax reform, ethics reform, welfare reform, and a host of other reforms keep politicians spinning. Now they are in the final stages of the holy grail of reforms – healthcare. When government reforms anything the results are greater costs and more complicated processes. These results will be horrifying to the healthcare system. There must be a better way. (more…)
Healthcare Question – Can Uncle Sam Outperform Sam Walton?
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Since Barack Obama has been president the government has taken over auto companies and banks. Now our democrat leaders hope to give the government the biggest industry yet – healthcare. They say private insurance companies are only interested in profit, and thus, incapable of managing healthcare needs and priorities. In other words, Uncle Sam’s business model can outperform Sam Walton’s in meeting the needs of people. (more…)
Who are the Winners and Losers in Healthcare Reform?
Saturday, December 26th, 2009Now that healthcare reform is almost reality, it’s time to identify the winners and losers. Overall, I feel the nation is a loser on this one. Big government programs usually result in massive corruption, mind-boggling inefficiencies, and shameful amounts of waste. And now we’re giving them our healthcare to manage? Yikes! Drilling down into the specifics we find the real winners and losers. It is interesting that the uninsured are both! (more…)
Do We Want a Welfare State?
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009Medicaid is a program for people who can’t afford health insurance. Social Security is a program to provide retirement for seniors. Medicare is a program to give health insurance to seniors. Public schools is a program providing education for kids K-12. Smaller programs help the poor with housing and other basic needs. Now, congress is trying to make healthcare the next huge entitlement. As we slide deeper into a welfare state, is this a good thing? (more…)
Should Healthcare be Controlled by Politicians or Profit?
