Medical Conspiracy?
This is a good post. Not only is it true, but it’s fun. More of us should dissect certain advertising claims in this way.

The Real Cost of Health Care
ByhenryHmm! I don’t really know what that is! But Robert J. Samuelson has an excellent column on Newsweek (via MSNBC) that discusses the issue. He makes a number of excellent points, including pointing out that we’ve hidden the actual cost of health care, though I suspect not nearly so successfully in this country as in…
Left Wing Closed Mindedness

That’s good politics, and if they really do oppose the bill (and I’m not certain about some of them) it’s honest…

ByhenryAllan Bevere started some discussion with his post, It’s Fiscal “Cancer” but What Sage Is It?. One interesting thing I notice about discussions of reducing the deficit is that we tend to have certain spending programs that must not be reduced, and those differ depending on our other political positions. This is not surprising, of…
