Ryan's Plan to Repeal and Replace Obamacare.
by Brent lawler
American Spectator has a post that has brought my attention to House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's "Guide to repeal and replace"
Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan has outlined his "plan" for Obamacare in a speech given at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University – Palo Alto, California. While his speech was well delivered and had many good points, I am left to wonder: When will the Republicans ever wake up to the fact that we don't want them to "replace" obamacare with more government controlled healthcare.
Of course that is the dirty little secret that establishment Republicans don't want you to know.....They want government control of the medical industry too, as long as it's them in control.
Ryan says: "At its core, the health care problem is one of inflation, driven by the overutilization of services, dramatic underpayments, and massive inefficiency."
He is correct, but where does he think these problems arise from? It is the fact that government is involved at all that is the root cause of these issues. We can only manage the decine of the medical industry as long as government is involved. Just like everything else they touch, it's only a matter of time before it is in complete disarray, and becomes a subsidized failure since we are left with no alternative. Get government out and watch the industry flourish, innovation explode, and prices decline.
Let real free markets and competition fix this. I don't want a "better" plan executed by government. I want repeal....you can keep your replace.

The Bigger Leviathan Gets The More Economic Misery It Spreads
Todays "Church Doctrine" from the Mike Church Show on SiriusXM:
Just when you think things cannot get any worse along comes Zerohedge with a slew of newly depressing economic statistics. None of these stats should come as a surprise but they are enlightening and show a very powerful, undeniable trend: as big government has expanded, personal wealth and income has contracted, here are a few examples. Median income for male workers is now at levels not seen since 1968. Real household median income is now $49,445 which is below the same levels reported in 1996.
The poverty rate in people claiming to live in America’s suburbs is 11.8%, the highest level since 1967. There are dozens more statistics I could list here but I think you get the point. Our freight train of economic might has been reduced to a Thomas the Tank Engine pulling a boxcar full of Boxcar Willies. How did this happen? The answer would take longer than the time we have here but the basics can be explained fairly quickly: The dollars Americans earned since 1971 have not kept up with Leviathan and the Federal Reserve’s perpetual inflation. This happens while capital is sucked out of the marketplace by expanding government appetite for debt. Productivity has improved but that only leads to job displacement which has little chance of of keeping up with businesses headed for the regulatory safety of foreign countries.
Combine all this with Obama’s determination to be the lender, designer and then bankruptcy officer of first choice for American mass manufacturing and we now have a depression on our hands. Americans who are turning to Washington for help are helplessly bound to bringing about more destruction. The only solution is liberty: economic, regulatory and free market liberty combined with the government re-assuming it’s only true power in economics, stabilizing the money supply, fostering ACTUAL free trade and returning us to hard money.
Of course this puts politicians out of the power broker business and big bankers on notice that their cartel-money- monopoly is over while they reach for their Monopoly game “Go Directly To Jail” cards.

Obama Administration to End Discrimination Against Non-Scientists
By Roger F. Gay
Following an initiative to protect non-English speaking English teachers, the Obama administration has announced a program to eliminate discrimination against non-scientists in academia.
The large scale initiative is the result of a decades-long pilot program that tested the effect of replacing competent scientists, who had been studying weather, with “politically and financially driven plug-ins” in a pseudo-scientific realm dubbed “climate science.” The Democratic Party talking points characterize it as “one of the greatest successes ever in the field of large-scale social engineering.”
The program, backed by the United Nations and operated in all “civilized nations”, resulted in a near complete replacement of real scientists with politically dependent toadies in the entire field. By crafting funding arrangements on a carefully defined political agenda, less competent, less honest “researchers” were able to prosper, in many cases much more than their competent counterparts.
The long-term study led to even greater success. “Community leaders,” such as academic journal editors, head administrators of scientific organizations, and influential political advisers were drawn from the the new “in crowd” rather than from seriously contributing scientists. As spokesmen for “what scientists think” their influence on the public was dramatic. At one time during the experiment, a majority of the population of the West (the entire Western civilization) believed that human activity was driving a catastrophic change in climate.
Discrimination had been effectively wiped out as the public accepted the word of the appointed scientists over that of scientists who would have had higher status in an independent performance driven system. In fact, recent surveys still show that a substantial number of people identify politically defined commentary on the matter as "real science." There is even a "science guy" on one television network acting as an evangelist for the cause.
“It's proof that we can do anything if we set our minds and lots of public money to the task,” stated one spokesman. “When we realize that we're not bound by rules, we can truly change the world. The whole individualistic idea of competence as an excuse to create hierarchical social structures is crumbling and the economic side-effects will go with it. Science is a big deal, often associated with individual characteristics like intellect. But we've shown that people assigned to the scientific establishment do not in fact need to be scientists at all in the conventional sense. We just need to say that they are.”
The plan is to broaden the effort beyond “climate science” to include all physical sciences. “One of the most important parts of the infrastructure that defines the modern world will undergo dramatic change, no longer limited by what was once presumed to be common sense ideals. Within 50 years, we will no longer be leaving anything to chance. Everything will be designed into a single unified architecture.”
The spokesman said that a number of significant experiments had been carried out outside of academics, particularly in economics and commercial activities. “Here, we have proven that we can destroy and create industry at will and it's not as difficult as people, especially non-progressive right-wingers usually believe. Once we all agreed that there is no God, it was a simple matter to begin assuming powers that previous convention said were not ours to have. We may assume that we represent what is perfect – nothing else is a competitor.”
Other plans suggest broadening the academic program, but the spokesman hesitated when asked about including social sciences. “They're more than half there on their own,” he said. “They were involved in this movement before we were with activities that often ended in public relations disasters. If we include them too early in our activities, they might feel a desire to get involved in the planning – thinking for themselves and wanting us to go along with them. We thank them for their efforts but the professionals will take over from here.”
