The concept of a “public option” in this current health care debate is not novel. It’s not new. It’s just taking what has been practiced in social service and medical care provision for decades and applying it to the insurance industry. That’s all. It’s also well-known that I oppose this. Here’s a reason why I [...]
A few people over at my favorite conspiracy board noticed this little line from the most commonly accepted health care reform legislation: National Medical Device Registry ‘‘(g)(1) The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each [...]
The Energy Information Administration, who touts themselves as “Official Energy Statistics from the US Government”, released a rather astounding conclusion. While most people have been scare-mongering by saying Waxman-Markey will practically bankrupt most lower income people through much higher energy prices, EIA says this is not true at all: ACESA increases energy prices, but effects [...]
All I’ve heard since last week was how the woefully underfunded Cash for Clunkers program needed another $2 billion to keep it going. This had to be done RIGHT NOW since it was such a wildly successful program. I heard more than one analyst tell me it was a key cog to kicking the economy [...]

As such, I was interested in the numbers. However, the bigger picture bugged me more than the dollars I was assigned to look at. In essence, [...]
Here we go. The members of the US Senate class of 2008 haven’t even been fully seated and we are already sepculating on 2010. CNN has already decided the Republicans are in trouble in 2010 simply because, get this, they had trouble in 2006 and 2008. Logical huh? Wikipedia references something called the Cook Political Report [...]
That’s the argument being made today after the collapse of the Big Three bailout. For the record, it came because UAW refused to bargain. Now, this argument is so bogus it’s amazing. People are actually debating this issue as if it’s fact. One of the states being singled out is Kentucky because of Mitch McConnell. [...]
That’s the headline on CNN. The headline NOT on CNN is: Unable to pay bills, London, Ky. YMCA closes And, the reason they decided to give up? Director Don Burgin said the London-Laurel County “Y” struggled with $6,000 monthly utility bills and its budget was further stretched by an increase in the minimum wage. And [...]
