Economics

A Very Good Piece on the Tsunami of Waiting, Expenses and Limits Coming Due to Med Fascism Law

The laws of economics, of supply and demand, of political force, cannot be avoided. Read this piece, from Mr. Goodman, who is often published by the excellent Independence Institute, and remember his warnings a few years from now!

Romney Pick of Ryan Really Illustrates How Disconnected GOP Is From Liberty and Memory

So the pop media and GOP big-wigs are both saying that Congressguy Paul Ryan is a "staunch" conservative. Even the Dems are flailing about, saying he's "radically" anti-spending.

If that's the case, why did he vote with the Bushies 94% of the time? Why did he support the unconstitutional, immoral, and economically insane Medicare Part D plan that Congress passed at 5:40 on a Saturday morning? If he's a real strong small gument "constitutionalist", then why the HECK did he vote to give Bush the unconstitutional "permission to use military force" everyone tells us is now the "War" on "Terror"?

Economic Data Doesn't Look Good for the US - 70 Data Points to See

This comes from a site that might or might not be completely aligned with the ideas of total freedom, but some of the stats and references are very valuable, especially when one compares the information to the cheerleading from the pop media news folks.

VT Cops Get a Bit of Blowback for Their Aggression Against a Plant Grower

This is a wonderful story. A farmer who has been attacked by the state for growing marijuana has allegedly taken his tractor and rolled over eleven of the empty police cruisers.

Aggression by the state sees blow-back. Unfortunately, given the acceptance of the tax system by so many people, and given the fact that so many people accept the myth that police protect them (it has been proven false statistically and legally), the cruisers will likely be replaced at the expense of more taxpayer cash.

But this is pretty cool.

Those Principled Republicans and the Medical Fascism Law

So one of the Romney advisors (ya know, an advisor for the guy who brought in his own anti-constitutional fascist mandates on the health insurance industry in MA) is making cash advising state gubments on how to conform to the federal medical fascism law. Anyone actually bothered to look at the Constitution and see that the interstate commerce clause doesn't give the feds the power to tell insurance companies what to sell, nor does it give MA the power to do the same or to force people to buy said manipulated insurance plans. Welcome to real fascism. Welcome to the United States "two-party" system... Choose your poison.

IRS ReWrites Fed Medical Fascism Law to Counter States That Are Not Implementing

As these state gubments push back and don't implement the law, the IRS re-writes the text to make it apply, to levy the fines (sorry, the "tax"), and expand the fascist nature of this law.

Be Skeptical of the Pop Media Reports on GM Sales Figures

As we have mentioned many times, GM did not really turn a profit last year. The only reason it was in the black was because it didn't have to pay taxes, the way FORD does. The arrangement was part of the gubment bailout of GM. If they had paid taxees (not that we support taxes, but this is a company that got BILLIONS of other peoples' dollars), they would have been 14 billion in the red!

 

Now comes this story, refuting the recent sales figures reported by GM.

It's Coming...

Remember, for a brief period, the US will look like the 'safe haven', but that is a mirage, and will begin to be shown as such when the invitable price increases caused by the central bank inflation and US gubment debt begin showing themselves with greater clarity in the economy.

TSA Now Testing Liquids INSIDE Check Point

Ya know how the TSA forces you to dump your drink before you pass through "security", thus making you have to replace it with one bought beyond the "security" screeners? Well, evidently, that's not enough. Now they want to check your liquids after you pass through the check-point!

US Supreme Court Rules Medical Fascism is OK

So the unconstitutional interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause was never challenged by the SCOTUS -- that's the provision in Article One, Section Eight, that is supposed to let Congress stop tariffs being placed on state goods by other states, but is interpreted to mean Congress can regulate anything that goes over state borders... With this as an "accepted" basis, then we can see how the SCOTUS would never bother to wipe away all the unconstitutional regulations placed on insurance companies (things such as "guaranteed issue" and "group rating")...
