  • When the Government Controls Medical Care …

    Updated: 2009-10-19 18:23:15
    … patients are an expense or liability to be gotten rid of rather than a source of profit who must be served. Much of the problems with government supplied health care can be traced to this truth concerning incentives.  A hospital is not paid more if they treat people well.  They don’t lose money if they [...]

  • This Week on ABC

    Updated: 2009-10-18 15:12:42
    The panel articipants on This Week with George Steph...well, however you spell it, all stated they are stumped ver why the economy is showing signs of growth while unemployment emains high and will likely go higher -- and the stock market went over 10,000! Well, I don't claim to be smarter than Klugman, Noonan, Tapper, Dionne and the two Georges, but I will venture a guess -- government intervention is causing confusion and until investors and employers know that the interventions re over, they will not feel comfortable enough to invest and hire. Government intervention is preventing a full recovery and contributing to a ack of expansion and high unemployment. How can any ompany plan long term and how can investors take risks when the government is constantly making changes which can affect the economy, and, thus, affect the company's plans and the investors' investments?

  • Inspirational Quote # 42

    Updated: 2009-10-16 00:03:12
    “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”   oseph Goebbels quote

    Updated: 2009-10-04 08:38:00
    Well, after hearing about Chicago's unsuccessful bid for the 2016 Olympics, I can't say I'm too saddened by the result.Watching on Fox News, Chicago's presentation seemed very politically correct. If Glenn Beck's figures are anything to go by, the Olympics would've cost Chicago taxpayers a fortune over the next seven years (and for years to go afterward).A Rio Olympics will be a lot more interesting than Olympics in any other cities that put in bids - after all, the Brazilians are known to put on a party! Of course, there would be downsides to the Rio Olympics: crime, and trying to get tourists to avoid the infamous favalas.But the real test for Rio will be to see if they can pull it off without excessive bureaucratic pen-pushing. If they can, I might have to pack my bags!
