The Sick Mentality of Government "Health Care" (Updated with Article)

Figure 1

Updated 7/30 - I converted the article, "Principles for allocation of scarce medical interventions", from PDF into text. I also formatted the article a little to make it more readable. Well, it is still absolutely nauseating but worth reading for insight into what is going on in the sick minds of those who are behind the government takeover of healthcare.  The article is at the end of this blog.  

CABAL Blog! Porkulus Driving Up the Costs on Projects

I thought the cell phone program was outrageous, but check out this article on how states are struggling to find enough homes to weatherize in order to use up their allocation of porkulus funds. Not only does the porkulus steal from the taxpayer, the porkulus is also making it harder and more expensive for those who are not receiving porkulus funds to engage in any area to which these porkulus funds are applied. Those who really do want to increase their homes' energy efficiency, and who make above the $44,100 cut-off for the program, will have to pay much more for materials and labor (if they can get it) as they have to compete against all the money being dumped into this market.

CABAL BLOG! Number 11057395339458.18! -- Antitrust Laws and the Cost of Healthcare

Antitrust laws, like nearly all government action, create the opposite effect of what their proponents claim will happen. Antitrust laws over the decades have made healthcare more expensive and less available. Antitrust laws are so convoluted and asinine (as well as unconstitutional) that one can be convicted for pricing a product too high (price gouging), too low (predatory pricing) and the same as others in the marketplace (collusion). In fact, those involved with healthcare now risk prosecution if they attempt to lower healthcare costs as demanded by non-president Obama two weeks ago. (He is one to talk about controlling costs!)

CABAL Blog: Smoking is Healthier than Fascism!

The government of Gong'an, a county in China, is ordering its employees to smoke 230,000 locally made cigarettes. (Is their pension fund out of money?)

Also, an article on Obama's tax plan, which will PRESUME GUILTY of tax violations anyone who engages in business with a foreign bank that does not "cooperate" with the Treasury Department. Expect other laws that preemptively presume guilt to follow soon...

CABAL Blog! Search & Seizure, National Databases and Health Care in the News

This is insane! The FBI raided at least two data centres and seized the servers, equipment and data of hundreds of businesses, not just the target of the raid. As a result these businesses lost their data, could not process transactions and could not support their customers. Many businesses and individuals have been ruined by the disruption and loss of data. Just the thing we need right now, eh?

With money so tight and the government spending trillions that it doesn't have, what better way to blow money than to build more spy satellites and take over private satellites during a national emergency:

CABAL Blog! Gitmo & Fritzl

Last week, the former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, Col. Lawrence B. Wilkerson, admitted what some of us had known for years - that many prisoners held indefinitely at Guantanamo as "enemy combatants" are actually innocent. These prisoners were in some cases captured during sweeps, refugees turned in for a bounty or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The military continued to hold these prisoners, without trial, knowing that many of their prisoners are innocent. According to Col. Wilkerson, "it did not matter if a detainee were [sic] innocent. Indeed, because he lived in Afghanistan and was captured on or near the battle area, he must know something of importance." (Just how much information on our own government's activities do we know?)
