Economics
A Great Example of Journalistic Blindness to Economics: "Time" on Possible Shortage of Doctors Under Gubment Health
Not once do the "Time" people make the connection between government payment, increased demand, and shortages. Subsidies lead to shortages and higher prices, which, in the government system, lead to price caps, rationing, and higher taxes. it's simple economics, but this piece blithly overlooks it, never connects the dots or discusses the CAUSE of the problem.
Why? Well, clearly it's because the "Time' gang WANT gubment health care, so these troubles are just assumed to be necessary "bugbites".

Wall Street Journal Hits it Spot on Regarding ERISA and Health Care Choices
ERISA was one kind of tax code manipulation, from the 1970's, that shifted the market towards group insurance, but repealing it will simply give the gubment more cash,a dn restrict medical choices for employees. The alternative is to let individuals who buy their own insurance write the full expense off their taxes. But the socialists will never allow this to happen.

In the "No DUH!" Department: Treasury Bonds Don't Sell AGAIN!
You think perhaps people who understand economics are trying to tell the US government something? Like, perhaps, just perhaps, the Dollar is being made worthless by all the liquidity being pumped into the economy?

CNN-Fortune Report (SURPRISE!) Five Essential Medical Freedoms You'll Lose Under Fed Medicine
It's amazing to see how the upside-down idea that people have "rights to" things can be used to blind the populace into believing that government-run medicine will give them better and less expensive care than the free market. On one side you have the coercive force of government, which has regulated and mandated private health insurance companies until their charges have had to rise to handle all the burdens. Government, with mandates on doctors and over-utilization by people who don't pay their own bills, with cost-shifting and capitation.

Ron Paul Forums: Great Piece on the New Enactment of Higher Minimum Wage
The only thing with to disagree is that the author does not mention that the "Contract Clause" of the US Constitution would actually prohibit STATE minimum wage laws, as they should be prohibited, just like the fed laws should be prohibited.

"Pro-Life" Democrats Become Hurdles for Federal Medicine Plans
Of course, we can't really use the term "pro-life" in any meaningful context, since, despite the fact that these politicians don't want government funds used for abortions, they don't respect your life enough to let you retain the fruits of your labor that support it as you desire to support it. A "property in oneself" is what the enlightment thinkers used to call individual liberty, and these guys don't get it. Only when you can control all of the fruits of your labor can you fully exercise your right to your life. Otherwise, someone ELSE owns part of you, whether you like it or not.
But at least these hypocrites are slowing down Obama's plans.
