The Magnificent Failure of ObamaCare

portallogo3

“By front-loading the benefits, and by back-loading the costs, the politicians have extended the welfare state to encompass virtually every area of life.  ObamaCare is the exception. ObamaCare is front-loading the costs, and it is back-loading the benefits.  This is not insurance; this is a welfare state program, pure and simple. But it is being covered by the illusion that it is, in fact, an insurance program.  People who have pre-existing conditions that exclude them from getting insurance in the free market are rushing to sign up for the welfare program. People who are generally healthy, meaning younger people, are not rushing to sign up. They don’t want the program. They have been outvoted.”

Dismantle the euro, says Nobel-winning economist who backed it

“A Nobel prize-winning economist will on Thursday withdraw his support for the euro saying it has created a ‘lost generation’ unemployed youngsters and should be broken up. Sir Christopher Pissarides was once a key proponent of a single currency but will on Thursday accuse the euro of ‘dividing Europe’ and say action is needed to ‘restore the euro’s credibility in international markets’ and the ‘trust that Europe’s nations once had in each other’, according to the Daily Mail.  The Cypriot-British economist, who won the Nobel prize in 2010, is speaking days after Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund, insisted the crisis in the eurozone was not yet over.”

NSA Sent Undercover Agents to Spy on ‘World of Warcraft’

“The National Security Agency has been monitoring online games including World of Warcraft, Second Life and video games on Xbox Live, sometimes even using undercover agents disguised as trolls or orcs.  This is the latest revelation to come from documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, as first reported by The New York TimesProPublica and The Guardian on Monday.  Since at least 2007, the NSA and its sister British spy agency the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) have worried that terrorists might use online video games to secretly plan attacks, drive fundraising efforts or simply communicate on unmonitored channels.”

ObamaCare’s Latest Numbers Don’t Add Up. You Will Pay the Difference.

“For ObamaCare to work, 40% of those buying healthcare insurance must be in the ‘rarely get sick’ age group of 18-34. Their money must fund the healthcare of the older buyers.  It turns out that only 28% are buying.  Forget www.healthcare.gov. The entire program is sinking statistically.  How many times does an unmarried male age 21-34 go to a physician? Six times. That means six times in the entire 13-year period.  Why will he buy health insurance? He won’t. ‘Most of them have zero health costs. In fact, the median health care spending for this group is exactly zero,’ said economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former head of the Congressional Budget Office.”

Girl, 11, ordered not to sell mistletoe; begging for braces money is fine

“A private security guard asked Madison to stop selling because city ordinance bans commerce like that without proper approval.  The Saturday Market is incredibly diverse.  You can buy whistles, order crepes and sign a marijuana petition all without walking more than ten steps.  But you can’t open a business without going through the market’s formal application process. The market sets rules for vendors which Madison agrees make sense.  Begging is different.  That’s a form of free speech, protected under the First Amendment, explains Mark Ross, spokesman for the Portland Parks Bureau, which manages the city park and rents it to the Saturday Market.”

Pssst, Those White People Are Moving Back to Detroit

thelrcblog-5002

“During Detroit’s pre-2007, pre-renaissance period, young whites who would graduate from local colleges would leave here as fast as they could pick up their paper diploma and pack their vehicle. These same young folks are flooding into the city to live the creative and exciting urban life that was never before available to them. Empty nesters who left have also come back.  However, while private investment ramps up and takes over basic services; commences restorations; builds new housing; and provides creative entertainment, dining, and nightlife, ‘race warrior’ Shirley Stancato says white people coming downtown ‘is an issue’ and ‘are we willing to have a conversation about it?'”

Kid, 9, Sells Apple Shares to Buy Bitcoin

“Andrew recently told his teacher about his investment, revealing he had made about $50 since his dad bought him some bitcoins.  Andrew wants to do more than just a talk at school to get his peers involved in digital currency. He asked his dad whether he could sell bitcoins to his classmates, then get them back by accepting BTC as payment for his Wonder Bracelets, which he makes from colourful elastic bands.  Steve said some of their parents might have a problem with this, but he’s set up an online store for the aspiring entrepreneur called Bracelets for Bitcoins.  Andrew made his first sale earlier this week to a bitcoin fan in Ireland.”

Obamacare and the New Soviet Man

“All that is missing from Emanuel’s blueprint is the punishment. If America’s youth does not live up to Emanuel’s version of the New American Man, they will not suffer the carnage of the kulaks. No one is suggesting that. But something will be done. And, with government, ‘something done’ always means coercion, even if it comes in the disguised form of an incentive that someone else needs to fund. Obama will not allow his signature legacy to become a signature failure. The extraordinary website problems attending Obamacare may be good news for its advocates. It distracts attention from what could be a far less solvable problem.”
