Obama's IPAB Board Will Control Medicare Decisions
Friday, 27 May 2011
By Betsy McCaughey
A toxic political strategy is spreading across the land, one that involves Medicare. It threatens to bamboozle voters and allow the 2012 election to turn on a lie. Democrats are making the obscenely false claim that they will "save Medicare as we've known it." On Wednesday, Democrats used this deceptive strategy to take the special election in the 26th congressional district in western New York. Sadly, this corrupt strategy is likey to be repeated. Voters need to know the facts. The truth is, the Obama health law, passed by Democrats last year, already eviscerated Medicare — though seniors won't feel the effects for some time. And the reform plan Democrats are attacking — Rep. Paul Ryan's vision — would undo much of the damage to Medicare while charting a new course to ensure the program doesn't run out of money. The Obama health law cut future funding for Medicare by $575 billion over the next decade and used $410 billion of that money to expand eligibility for Medicaid. It’s like robbing Peter to pay Paul, only it’s robbing Grandma to benefit Medicaid recipients. The nation needs to spend less on government programs, and entitlement reform is key. The best way to reform entitlements is not to start new ones. Don't miss the point here. The Obama health law is redistributing the wealth — taking money out of Medicare to create new entitlements and millions [....]

Texas’s Gov. Perry hasn’t ruled out 2012 presidential run
By Lynda Waddington
05.25.11
Texas Gov. Rick Perry hasn’t ruled out the possibility that he will be a 2012 candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. During a press conference Tuesday concerning a new anti-abortion measure, according to reporter Jay Root of The Texas Tribune, Perry again told reporters that he won’t get “distracted” by talk of a potential presidential campaign. Perry also wouldn’t directly answer reporters’ questions on if he has ruled out a run.
… It’s worth noting that Perry has in the past repeatedly said he would not, under any circumstances, run for president in 2012. Of course, that was before Rush Limbaugh recently extolled Perry’s virtues for 20 minutes, and before Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said they wouldn’t get in the race. The Perry camp is still telegraphing the notion that the default position is not to run, but it’s safe to say they have cracked the door open, at least a little bit, over the last week. Specific wording matters — a lot — in these speculative political matters. Adding further fuel to the fire, Perry strategist Dave Carney (who is also aligned with the Newt Gingrich camp, described the national attention as “flattering,” adding that he was “sure [Perry's] thinking about it.” Earlier this month, Perry made [....]

Why Bernanke will be forced to institute QE3
By Jeff Harding
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Dr. Frank Shostak, an Austrian theory economist who works for MF Global, and who writes for Mises.org on economics, came out with an article this week on what will happen when the Fed freezes its balance sheet in June, as they have said they will do.
I very much enjoy Shostak’s writing and have followed his ideas for years.
In this article he says:
“We suggest that once Fed policy makers freeze the balance sheet of the US central bank it will slow down the growth momentum of the Fed’s balance sheet. Consequently, this is going to exert downward pressure on the growth momentum of the money supply. Note that ultimately it is fluctuations in the growth momentum of the money supply that set in motion fluctuations in the pace of formations of bubble activities. As a result, various bubble activities that emerged on the back of the rising growth momentum of the money supply will come under pressure — an economic bust will be set into motion.
“Obviously it is possible to have a situation where commercial banks’ expansion of lending “out of thin air” counters the freezing of the Fed’s balance sheet. It remains to be seen whether this is going to be the case in the months ahead. For the time being, the Fed’s balance sheet continues to expand at a rapid pace. …
“Now, we suspect that the difficulty the Fed has had in meaningfully “reviving” the economy so far could indicate [....]

OBAMA ADMIN WANTS TO CUT TROOP PAY!
- Move America Forward Friday,
May 27, 2011
In the latest and most outrageous move, the Obama administration wants to cut pay and/or benefits for our troops and their families, even those deployed overseas fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, in order to reign in budgetary spending. It’s the classic game that the liberals play whenever they are in power – they are always quick to claim they support the troops, but the military is always first on the chopping block. Yesterday Secretary of Defense Robert Gates revealed that the Obama Administration was considering cutting military paychecks when [....]

Gangster Government Puts Its Boot On Texas’ Neck
May 27, 2011
by Bob Livingston
A letter from U.S. Attorney John E. Murphy threatening to halt all flights to and from the State of Texas has spurred a Texas legislator to pull his bill that would have prevented the Transportation Security Administration from carrying out its gropefest/pornshow activities in that State. It’s just the latest in a series of strong-arm tactics employed by the current gangster government as it seeks to impose its will on its subjects. Texas’ politicians sought to stand up for the rights of its citizens and criminalize any searches and seizures conducted without probable cause. The bill came on the heels of a litany of abuses by TSA agents at airports, where travelers — including children and infants — were subjected to humiliating and intrusive pat downs. The U.S. Justice Department (now there’s an oxymoron) has taken to using threats to impose government will as a [....]

Amish Milk: The Latest Target of the Obama Regulatory State
April 30, 2011
Enterprise and Free Markets
Milk might do a body good, but if it’s unpasteurized milk sold by an Amish farmer across state lines, it’s a whole other story… or at least according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The Washington Times reports:
A yearlong sting operation, including aliases, a 5 a.m. surprise inspection and surreptitious purchases from an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, culminated in the federal government announcing this week that it has gone to court to stop Rainbow Acres Farm from selling its contraband to willing customers in the Washington area.
The product in question: unpasteurized milk.
It’s a battle that’s been going on behind the scenes for years, with natural foods advocates arguing that raw milk, as it’s also known, is healthier than the pasteurized product, while the Food and Drug Administration says raw milk [....]
