Feds Simply IMPOSE New Rules on Air Carriers - Nothing Like Freedom, Huh?
Looking at it with a wider lens... First, the feds break the Constitution to take over the control of the air routes, beginning in the 1920's-1930's. FDR sends out millions of Dollars to local politicians to build new airports where the market would not have placed them. Then the Feds impose insane, anti-constitutional, pro-union rules on the airlines, THEN, the feds take over the security at the airports. Each one of these causes delays, inefficiencies, and dictates that have no connection to the desires of consumers. So, you have airlines being delayed by security, you have air routes that get clogged due to government control of them, and you have excessive costs due to union involvement.

As Expected: Final Dem Holdout Sides in Favor of Health Fascism
Meanwhile, people like Dick Morris tell Fox News that, to paraphrase: "Well, probably something will pass, but it will be so watered-down, innocuous. It'll probably just have a provision mandating guaranteed issue..." Blah, Blah.

Mercatus Center Finds "Recovery Act" Money Handed to Politically Favorable Areas

Climate Change Nuts Broker "Deal" in Copenhagen-daas
Before you read, keep in mind that there are only about three valuable paragraphs in this article. First, it's mentioned that there is no actual treaty. And then you can gleen that the US gubment has promised $100 Billion to "developing nations" -- ie a bunch of crooks who lead THOSE countries -- to help them reduce their "climate change emissions".
Whose money is that?
Hmm... Hmm...
So hard to figure out!

Obama Threatens Chinese Gubment at "Climate Change" Conference: "We Need TO ACT"
Yeah, we know, President O. Of course, the word "acting" also has a secondary definition. We know who's been "acting" and misleading.
Isn't it cute to see the President threaten to withhold the money of American citizens, expropriated from them whether they like it or not?

Dems Plan for Christmas Eve health Fascism Vote: Watch, Mandatory/Universal Coverage Will Be Central Element
The pieces are being set on the chess board. The destruction of the private health insurance industry will be achieved within a few years. Meanwhile, so-called "moderate" Republicans say that they, too, believe there needs to be "reform" to force private insurance companies to accept people with preexisting conditions. These are precisely the suckers and economic neophytes who will destroy the private system.
It's coming. Get ready. And don't listen to those who tell you America "dodged a bullet" when this thing passes.

Hillary Clinton Promises $100 Billion of Your Money and Your Neighbors' Money to Bogus UN "Climate Initiative"
Let's see. So we once more mention that the so-called "science" pushed by the backers of anthropogenic global warming (now termed "Climate Change", since the globe has been COOLING since 1998) is faulty. We have to mention that increases in CO2 FOLLOW increases in global temp, they don't PRECEDE higher temps, and we have to mention that this kind of government-sanctioned theft harms living standards and lives in real terms. But hey, why not play, have fun with other peoples' money. After all, life's short, right?
Enjoy!

Schiff Sees Bogus Stock Growth Coming, Much As We Have Been Discussing...
Yep. The vast majority of people out there will not understand that the increases in stock prices do not necessarily reflect increases in VALUE. Instead, as we know, they reflect a decrease in the buying power of the Dollar caused by a massive liquidity push from the central bank and US Congress.
As we have mentioned, there will be a period of perhaps a year, give or take a few months, when things look to be on the rebound. We think that there will be some hires by business, but if the health fascism bill passes, then all bets are off. Things will collapse much more rapidly, and there will be a true economic storm the likes of which this nation has never seen.
Ever.
Check out the interview, provided at Lew Rockwell's site:
President O Uses Harsh Scare Tactics "Fed Gubment Could Collapse If Health Bill Isn't Passed"
Um, so let's see... The federal government takes it on itself to break the Constitution and install socialist Social Security, which rips off everyone, to create Medicare and Medicaid, which cause unnatural increases in demand and result in capitation for doctors' bills and shifting of costs to private payers, and they create the wasteful "Kiddie Care" system which lets people who aren't even KIDS get health care off the backs of their enslaved neighbors. Now President Obama has the gall to say that if the biggest social program in the history of man is not enacted, the government will go BANKRUPT?
Um, a little tip to Mr. Obama: The government has been bankrupt for decades.
Should we add the requisite, "duh"?

Obama Takes One from FDR's Playbook: Blame the Bankers
Cute. Even as Barney Frank proposes new FTC powers to attack the financial sector and restric lending, and Obama tries to get the public to view the bankers as bad guys, the same President says bankers are lending too little. Nice.

Sheldon Richman, of FEE, brought up a terrific article by Tom DiLorenzo that sheds light on past federal action screwing with the market, and the mentality behind it. In this case, DiLorenzo highlights FDR and the love of fascism during the 1930's. Seems bad ideas never die. Here ya go:
Lieberman Holds off Senate health Fascism - for the Moment
Don't worry, fascists, something will pass, and it will definitely include regulations that force private insurance companies to accept people with preexisting conditions, which is precisely what you statists want to push the free market over the edge into price-hike oblivion.

Salaries of Fed Workers Shoot up, Average Now More Than $71,000 Per Year
At a time when millions are out of work, when millions more have seen no increases, or have seen decreases in their salaries, the federal gubment is taking MORE from the private sector and paying its "public sector" parasites even more.
Now THERE'S a recipe for economic improvement, huh?
