Cuba’s Health Care System: The Reality….access to such rudimentary medicines as antibiotics and Aspirin can be limited, and there are reports that citizens excluded from the foreign-only hospitals often must bring their own bed sheets and blankets while in care.

The “economy stimulus package” (more appropriately defined as a socialist spending package) contains language that will get us started down the path to an inefficient, expensive, and wholly unnecessary nationalized health care system.
“The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479)…One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective.”
This is *not* an economic stimulus package. It’s a socialist’s dream come true, cloaked by an intentional panicked smokescreen of fear, uncertainty and doubt intended to spook us into allowing it to be passed into law without the critical analysis it needs. Critical analysis that must be avoided lest it bring the bill’s true egregious nature to light.

Marginal Revolution has a picture of a paper copy of the UAW’s contract with Ford. It not that far off the size of the federal tax code. It’s a visual clue to why the US auto is in so much trouble. This is just more evidence that unions have more than served their purpose and it’s time for them to go quietly into the night, and the history books.

Newsweek is reporting that it may be due to an obscure accounting rule for asset valuation. http://www.newsweek.com/id/130029
In my opinion, that is complete and utter nonsense. The "credit crisis" is due solely and unquestionably to consumers who were ready and willing to accept unreasonable amounts of debt in order to finance the purchase of things that they couldn't afford. End of story.

Thankfully, Edwards is now out of the race, and this is one frivolous piece of potential legislation that we won't have to worry about. Too bad none of the mainstream candidates have the post authors point of view. That is, of course, assuming that Ron Paul isn't going to make a dash to the front of the race anytime soon.

On a concept far too few people seem to understand.
""Buying a bigger house isn't an investment," warned Wall Street Journal columnist Jonathan Clements. It's "a lifestyle choice — and it comes with a brutally large price tag."

The news of CompUSA's fate has made this a sad day for me, knowing that soon I will be left with nothing but memories of the store where I purchased my retail copy of Windows ME on the day it was released.
