The Unsustainable Lie of Inflation

You are absolutely right. The sad thing is that most americans believe what they here or read. Unfortunately, with the exception of the Wall
Street Journal, it's impossible to get the facts regarding issues. On top of this, the government keeps telling us that there is no inflation.
If that is so, how come prices on almost everything have increased
20-50%
Hope you will continue to make people aware of what's going on.

Cap-and-Trade Datapoint of the Day

I don't agree. You really don't know what it will cost everyone and if it's like every other government program, it will be alot more than the estimates.
I consider the proposal to be another government tax that if implemented would have very little impact on how clean our air is, nor do I believe it will impact climate change.

CBO Analysis of Kennedy Health Bill

The idea of a national health care program may have merit, but not when it includes transfer payments. it's the same policy that exists now in regards to taxes. If the government is going to offer free healthcare then the first thing it must do is insist that people live a
healthy life style or they get no insurance. And everyone should pay somethings for coverage, the same as seniors who have medicare.
