Is the Health Care Bill a Distraction From What’s Next?

Jeff Nabers — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 13:58:16 +0000

Everyone is talking about health care. “How could the politicians do this with a strong majority of American in opposition?”

This video provides some insight into the never-ending string of government takeovers, and seeing the whole picture is alarming. One lesson from all of this is that complaining doesn’t work. Neither does disapproving. What does work is being prepared to defeat government takeover attempts.

Discussed in the video is what I believe is one of the most fundamental characteristics for a free society. Enjoy!

I want to get this news flash out to you, but there’s no sense in reinventing the wheel. I think the first half of Bill Bonner’s recent blog post sums it up. See it here.

Microwavable economic epiphany for the lazy or ADD

I’ve written several times about what I believe is one of the most important films ever produced: I.O.U.S.A. The film is 80 minutes long and came out in August of 2008. It’s a project of the former Comptroller General of the United States (our government’s chief accountant). He resigned to make this movie to warn our country about the coming financial train wreck of the government.

A few months ago, I linked you to a shorter, free 30 minute version available on YouTube. If you haven’t taken the time to watch the 30 minute or 80 minute version, then here’s the 2 minute, 24 second version;

This January was worst for stock market in 113 years

According to the article The Market Is Shorting Obama’s ‘Stimulus’, we’ve just had the worst January in over 113 years of the stock market. Professors of Finance, Ecomonics, and Law at the University of Kansas and George Mason University report that the stock market is not impressed by Obama’s stimulus. Read the whole story here.

While 99% of the stories out there that use logic and reason to argue that the stock market, government, and economy have even worse times ahead do not actually provide any solution or point to any light at the end of the tunnel, I want these arguments to be put into good context.
