I read today that despite the O’s dropping popularity, 97% of the blacks polled approved of his performance. Dr. Sowell is clearly in the select minority!
Yes, he certainly is.
This is by far the best short article I’ve seen to date that takes Zer0’s health care apart and stomps it into the ground.
>The idea of a “duty to die” has been making some headway in recent years around the fringes of the left.
Congress, the Executive branch, and the USSC should lead by example and take some cyanide-pills before they try/think of telling me I have a duty to die.
And if push comes to shove and they tell me “It’s your duty” then I’m going to take as many of them with me as I can... I mean, what are they going to do in that case, kill me?
“Insurance companies are another distraction and a scapegoat because they do not insure “pre-existing conditions.” Stop and think about it: If you could wait until you got sick to take out health insurance, why would you buy that insurance while you are well?”
Back during the days of debate on HillaryCare, the administrator of a health care provider in, I believe Oregon which requires providers to accept all pre-existing conditions, posted a letter he recieved from a young woman. The woman was writing to thank him for the fine care she’d received during her recent pregnancy and to cancel her health insurance. She stated that she’d signed up just as soon as she learned she was pregnant, was delighted with the care, but was cancelling now that she had given birth and was no longer in need of health insurance. But she did add, that if she became pregnant again, she’d certainly return to his company for health care.
Dr. Sowell is the greatest! The scary part of this is that what he’s saying is so basic, so obvious ... and yet, how few are saying it.
Isn’t that something she’d write and say that?
If obamacare passes as it is now she won’t have to bother cancelling, the taxpayers will provide ongoing care for free.
I use the phrase “The Macguffin”
From wiki......
“A MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is “a plot element that catches the viewers’ attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction.”[1]
Sometimes, the specific nature of the MacGuffin is not important to the plot such that anything that serves as a motivation serves its purpose. The MacGuffin can sometimes be ambiguous, completely undefined, generic or left open to interpretation.
The MacGuffin is common in films, especially thrillers. Commonly, though not always, the MacGuffin is the central focus of the film in the first act, and later declines in importance as the struggles and motivations of characters play out. Sometimes the MacGuffin is all but forgotten by the end of the film.”

Politicians use them all the time.
WOW! That graphic is so appropriate for obamacare it’s not funny!
Whats even scarier still, are that there are even fewer who understand it.
True. When you try to explain that “something for nothing” just doesn’t happen, they get upset and hostile.
The big trick for the president is to convince the public that he can add tens of millions of people to his government medical care plan without raising the costs. But an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office showed that Obamacare would in fact raise the costs and increase the deficit by billions of dollars.
Aren't you low by a factor of 1000?
It’s always eye opening to see Dr. Sowell put things so simply and stating the obvious and shooting down Zer0 and his double speak.
Those were the CBO’s words.
“I love his brain” BUMP!
