I thought I would share my process for gathering viewpoint and facts. Perhaps others would offer to put articles together in the future, but if nothing else, a look into how I brainstorm a publication: The high-middle and high-earners in America pay for the majority of social programs implemented by Congress. With states facing nearly [...]
The new health care reform bill is having an effect: termination of full-time employees. Small businesses cannot afford the mandate that hits once they have 31 employees and have at least one that gets their insurance through the government exchange – $2,000 per full-time employee .

Sunday evening, the House of Representatives passed the Senate version of health care reform. The vote was 219 for and 212 against with not a single Republican voting for it.

Democrats are citing the recent CBO scoring of the combination of S.3590 (the bill that passed the Senate in December) and H.R. 4872 (the Reconciliation Bill in the House) as proving that health care reform will reduce the national debt – it will not.

Obama has no problem misleading America as long as the citizenry is effectively duped into supporting the worst entitlement bill in the country’s history. Purposefully omitting the fact that health care costs are rising, rising premiums are just a symptom, demonizing the insurance industry’s razor thin margins (1-3%), and now.. embellishing the story of a [...]
Obama and Congressional Democrats are pushing health care reform as the answer to rising health care premiums. The populist approach to forcing through unpopular legislation is certainly the method of operation of the administration and they are continuing to use it by demonizing insurance companies with their massive 1-3% profit margins… massive. Why are premiums [...]
President Obama house been touting his intent to put together an executive panel to review approaches to trim the soon to be $14 trillion federal debt.
