it running….. Instead of leveling with you, they decided to pass the buck by shafting the young and healthly by forcing them to buy WAY more insurance then they need – since Medicare underpays Docs/Hospitals, private insurnace gets overbilled to pick up the slack…..its a scam that allows the politicans of both parties to get away with not telling you the TRUTH! Seniors also get theirs too with the “death panel” rationing boards since treating them is “Not Cost Effective”…. Why dont we all wise up and quit beleving the lies put out by the Statist Establishment politicans….. Clearly, Romney, from the USA Today article, was in on this establishment conspiracy to lie to the American public and leave us with Facist/Socialist...

selling health insurance – under ObamaCare there will be only 3 or 4 huge ones (this is what happened in Maine under a similar plan – they went from 14 health insurance companies down to 1 due the excessive taxes and regulations!) Since the government controls who can afford what thru regulation, subsidizes the system, and forces you (at gun point) to participate – this is government HC with a phoney private facade! The politicans and technocrats are in control and are just kickin’ a few bucks back to their Big Health Insurance/Pharma pals! And here is the Kicker – politicans of BOTH parties dont want to level with you and tell you that Medicare is BROKE and thus either higher taxes and/or massive cuts/rationing is needed to keep...

Then Obama and his cronies where then to “back off” and “drop” the “government option”….this was supposed to be a “moderate” compromise (witness the phoney outrage of leftists like the Kos, etc) that was “forced” on them by our “great conservative heros” in the GOP establishment…..a “big” conservative victory that was nothing really except governmen-run HC! However, this little misdirecting-play got disrupted by one small obstacle that the politcal elites forgot about: the people! Some people called “the Tea Party” caught on to the scheme and exposed the Individual Mandate ruse! Folks, the Individual Mandate simply sub-contracts the government-run HC plan thru crony capitalist Big Insurance firms! Right now, there are over 4200...

Here is the REAL STORY on RomneyCare AKA ObamaCare: Its was a mutal conspricacy by the DC politcal elite in both parties into to forcee the implementation of stealth government-run health care YES - both parties WERE in on it! The plan was for Obama to put out a “radical” HC plan with the so-called “government option” included Our so-called “conservative repulican” establishment types where then to make a whole bunch of noise and whining about how the “government option” was “socialism” and we, like good children, were supposed to get behind them and tote the party line…. Then Obama and his cronies where then to “back off” and “drop” the “government option”….this was supposed to be a “moderate” compromise (witness the phoney...

The "modern Democratic party" in no way resembles the Democratic party of Jefferson and Jackson! Both Jefferson and Jackson believed in STRICTLY LIMITED government (especially central government) as the best way to protect the Common People. They knew, from experience with the heavy and corrupt hand of the British monarchy, that unlimited and arbitrary central government power was easily influced and corrupted by well-connected political and monetary interests. Therefore, the way for people to be protected from abuse was NOT TO GIVE THE POWER to the government to begin with!!! In 1896, a man named William Jennings Bryan changed the Democratic party from a limited government, non-interventionist party to an unlimited government, interventi

The biggest item driving up the cost of energy (oil mainly but all forms of energy), food stuffs, raw materials.......and stock prices too....... is the relentless printing of money-from-nothing (currently estimated to be 20 to 50 trillion since 2008 by some estimates) by the politcally controlled central bank aka "the Fed" No its not "environmental regulation", "drilling bans", "middle east unrest" as US and worldwide supplies are the same or even greater......yes these contribute, but are minor in comparison to currency inflation and its certainly not greater demand/consupmtion (that's flat as a pancake worldwide) in our booming 9% - and add underemploment - 19% unemployment world! Nope, its tons of new money chasing the same...

You Statist Hacks are all the same - useful idiots....your lack of rational thinking is truely STAGGERING The fact that idiot like you have allowed for unlimited and unchecked government intervention into the economy (and really every other sphere of life) creates the problem you are crying about - some have to lobby to keep from being screwed by the government and stay in business and some are lobbying to gain favors and screw their competition..... in any case, unlimited government power is the problem! The "executives" have to lobby the government to get there handouts and to craft regulations (which you arse-jacks actually think "protect" us lol) which are designed to stiffle any competition from smaller business or individual...

You forgot the BIGGEST and WORST government intervention: printing trillions of new dollars! The politicans (both D and R) pressured the politcally-controlled central bank (the Federal Reserve) to print trillions and handout at nearly 0% interest during the early 2000's All based on failed Keysian "pump priming" inflationary economic theory Sure the government interventions that the author mentions are all true and bad - but in and of themselves were not enough to create the housing bubble Only trillions in newly printed fiat currency and artifically low interest rates could do that And of course, since politicans love to spend to buy votes (printing money helps finance the debt) and get reelected by promoting the fiction that...

Great post, its this lack of understand by people who call themselves "conservative" that greatly aids the enemy Essentially, this author is saying having government violate the rights of Individuals who are harming nobody but themselves is a-ok provided its based on beliefs he personally holds Until people understand the purpose of government like you say and start consistently and logically applying these principles, the Statist Left will continue to run circles around us and things will only continue to go down hill

What is "immoral" is to use government force to impose your personal values on the rest of the nation.....as this author thinks is ok.... So Authoritrian government is now OK if we are imposing our personal defintion of "morals" on the population via government coersion and force...this is "conservative" And that is different then the Liberal Statist view of using government to impose their "moral value" of equality of economic outcome via marxist economics..... Its using government force to make people behave in a manner you see fit The sole purpose of government is to protect your individual Unalienable Rights (ie life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) against those who would violate them through force, fraud, or...
