ObamaCare Strikes Again

The payroll tax is Social Security, not Obamacare. They both need attention, but let's keep our targets straight.
Which revolution does Obama believe in: the American Revolution or the sexual revolution?
Obama did not "inherit" the problems. He was hired to fix them. He failed, and made things worse. "When someone can't do the job, you just have to let them go."
Just as an aside: Kodachrome went out of production a few years ago.
Low voter turnout may also reflect voter rolls that have not been purged in decades of dead voters and voters who have moved out of district.

Why is it more expensive to make something here than to make it overseas and ship it across the ocean? Well, for one thing we tax domestic production but not foreign production. We should replace the business income tax (and all related taxes) with a national sales tax. Then people will see how much they are being bled, and overseas producers will face the same costs as domestic producers.
What do you tell your black child? That Obama wasn't worthy of him, wasn't worthy of the job, wasn't worthy of the trust placed in him ... and that the trust was extended because Obama was a Token Black.
There is, ironically, one technology that might allow wind power to work without backup fossil fuel generation, but it's one that the greens killed years ago: pumped storage. Way back when, it was planned as a way to reduce the need for peaking generation and to allow hard-to-adjust nuclear plants to provide more of the power need. Now it would be used for the opposite purpose: to ride out irregularities in power production. Imagine giant concrete tanks offshore near wind farms, capable of maintaining billions of gallons of seawater with heads of 100 feet or more. With multiple tanks, it would even be possible to use tidal effects to good purpose, pumping at high tide and releasing at low tide.
This would probably run afoul of the US Constitution's guarantee that the federal government shall ensure that every State has a republican form of government. Unfortunately, it's not clear that SCOTUS would ever enforce it.

How could it happen, Secretary Clinton? It happened because YOU misjudged the people involved. You and your boss went into this with eyes wide shut and ears stuffed with patchouli-scented candle wax. And if we don't wake up soon, we may be facing a generation-long war WITH NUKES that could kill a third of the world's population. And a lot of them would be right here in the Continental USA.
