In an interview with the Detroit News, Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow said: Climate change is very real. Global warming creates volatility and I feel it when I’m flying. The storms are more volatile. Anyone else out there “feeling” global warming, or do we merely need to pass an anti-turbulence tax to satisfy the good Senator? As Detroit News contributor Henry Payne noted: “And there are sea monsters in Lake Michigan. I can feel them when I’m boating.”
At an August 5th press conference, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) called the protests at this summer’s townhall’s “phony” and held up a swatch of Astroturf to illustrate his point. But as the hundreds of videos from around the country demonstrate, there is nothing fake about opposition to Obamacare. The same can’t be said of Obamacare supporters as this news report from WMUR in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, clearly shows: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEhNrhKacY[/youtube]
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L3FnWNkIzU[/youtube] Yes Foundry readers, you saw that correctly, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee picked up her cell phone while a cancer survivor recounted her story and begged her not to endorse the President’s health care plan. If this isn’t engaging your constituents, what is?
President Barack Obama consistently accuses Americans who are skeptical about his health care plan of supporting the stats quo. Like much of what Obama says about health care, this simply isn’t true. Whole Foods co-founder and CEO has a must-read op-ed in today’s Wall Street Journal outlining eight market friendly health care reforms including: Remove the legal obstacles that slow the creation of high-deductible health insurance plans and health savings accounts (HSAs). Equalize the tax laws so that employer-provided health insurance and individually owned health insurance have the same tax …

We never thought we’d write the words “Michael Moore is right”, but the filmmaker is dead on when he echoes Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein, and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman about the true intention of President Barack Obama’s public option. Moore tells Rolling Stone in the latest issue: If a true public option is enacted — and Obama knows this — it will eventually bring about a single payer system, because the profit-making insurance companies won’t be able to compete with …

One key area that has been totally ignored in healthcare debate is the jaw-dropping amount of fraud and abuse in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. We at the Center for Health Transformation believe that $100 billion a year is a conservative estimate. Our new book, “Stop Paying the Crooks” outlines examples of that waste and offers dozens of suggestions on how to fix the problems. Consider just two examples: In January, 2009 the Government Accountability Office issued a report that said $32 billion of improper payments were made in the …
Any doubts that President Barack Obama’s “townhall” in Portsmouth, New Hampshire yesterday was a complete farce were dispelled early on when the hand picked crowd broke out in a chant of: “Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!” at the close of his opening remarks. Recognizing his campaign’s signature slogan, the President responded: “Thank you. I remember that.” Comforted knowing he was surrounded by a room full of die-hard supporters, President Obama then want on to make a number of misleading and outright false statements about the health …

Bad timing Mr. President. On Friday, the New York Times Business Section actually called for the privatization of the post office amid staggering losses, and even said it was in “General Motors territory.” So while the President sells you on his “post office” of health care plans, here are some questions to consider: 1.) …
