Obamacare: your government of, by, and for the people

politicalincorrectnessrunamuck

It's official: Obamacare caused more cancelled plans than enrollments  "This is one stat that we haven't heard from the White House. They announced on Tuesday that 2.1 million people had signed up on the exchanges (no one knows how many of those have actually paid). Meanwhile, it appears that at least 4.7 million Americans had their plans cancelled by Obamacare's coverage mandates." Rick Moran

 

The biggest Obamacare whopper of all  "President Obama told an even bigger lie than his promises about keeping your insurance and doctor, if you like them. And Politifcat already has a leading candidate for the biggest lie of 2014. Betsy McCaughey explains in the New York Post why his words, "you're not going to have anybody getting in between you and your doctor in your decision making," amount to biggest whopper of all:" ...Thomas Lifson

Thirty-one changes to Obamacare...so far  "By our count at the Galen Institute, more than 31 significant changes already have been made to ObamaCare: at least 14 that President Obama has made unilaterally, 15 that Congress has passed and the president has signed, and 2 by the Supreme Court. But even this large number of changes hasn’t stopped the cascade of failures we are seeing today in the implementation of the law." ...

What does Mayor-elect DeBasio have against horses?

Liberals will not leave us alone to live our lives. Why can't they just work part time?

Rick Moran   "New York city mayor-elect Bill DeBasio is out to ban the iconic horse-drawn carriage rides around Central Park so beloved of tourists and romantics alike.

NY Daily News:

"We are going to get rid of the horse carriages. Period," de Blasio said in response to a question at his press conference announcing his schools chancellor pick Monday.
"It's over," he said.
De Blasio said he would work with existing drivers to set them up with alternative vehicles to ferry tourists around Central Park.
De Blasio and advocacy groups who support him say it's inhumane to make the horses work the dangerous city streets, but drivers insist their horses are well cared for and there's no reason to end the industry.

....
"Celebrities have been driving the opposition to the horse-drawn carriage:"

...."Miley Cyrus? DeBlasio is going to destroy a fine tradtion on the word of an air head twerker? And Alec Baldwin likes horses more than gay people? Who would have thought that?"  

Jan 1, 1944: World War II Today

Hope and dread for the New Year in Berlin  
"Many people were hoping that 1944 would bring a better year. For many it did not seem an unrealistic prospect that the war would be over by the end of the year. An Allied victory now seemed inevitable, although there was much uncertainty as to how that would come about.
"Ursula von Kardorff was a young journalist working in Berlin. She had already lost one of her two brothers on the frontline. Berlin itself was increasingly looking like a battlefield itself as more and more building were destroyed by the bombing. She moved in circles where many young officers were anti Nazi, although she knew very well how careful they had to be in expressing such sentiments. Her diary, if ever discovered by the authorities, would have seen her sent to a concentration camp at the very least:
She writes, seventy years ago:
"Berlin, 1 January 1944
"1943. The worst year of my life. Jurgen’s death, the raids, people rendered homeless by bombing, so that the Germans now wander around as homeless as the Jews, loaded down with the same kinds of sacks and bundles. At least it relieves one of some of one’s guilt, and that is a comfort.

Berliners now knew that the air defences could not prevent the

widespread destruction of their city.

....
"I imagine that the climax of the war will be reached in the spring and that if we, here in Germany, do not do something soon to change the situation radically we shall be finished by the autumn. By then the Russians will be here.
"See Ursula von Kardorff: Diary of a nightmare: Berlin, 1942-1945.

What You Need to Know About the Left's Big Issue for 2014/ Alan Caruba update: Obama's 2014 Big Lie: Income Inequality

Heritage   "Do a Google News search for “income inequality” and it will remove any doubt that this is already the political issue of 2014.

"The left has been gearing up for months. The liberal Center for American Progress launched a new center devoted to the subject, and President Obama has been making it a centerpiece of his speeches.

"Get ready to hear about “fairness”—because some people make more money than others, and this isn’t fair. How can you sit by and watch this happen? What is the government going to do about it?

"It’s a popular argument because everyone—even Warren Buffett—wants to make more money. When someone tells you that what you’re being paid isn’t fair, it’s easy to agree. And if that someone tells you that you can march in a protest and instantly make more money—well, that’s a lot quicker and easier than working toward your next promotion.

"Quick and easy—that’s the allure of the left’s argument. But there are two things you should know about it."....

UPDATE: Obama's 2014 Big Lie: Income Inequality by Alan Caruba

 

"As the liberal disaster called Obamacare unfolds, President Barack Obama is already embarked on his next Big Lie: income inequality.

"It’s useful to visit some of the planks of Karl Marx’s 1848 Communist Manifesto. They included abolition of private property—the keystone of capitalism—and the application of all rents of land to a public purpose. Marx advocated a heavy progressive or graduated income tax whereas a fair tax that treats all Americans fairly by taxing what you spend instead of what you earn. The current tax code is more than 73,000 pages! Marx wanted to eliminate all rights of inheritance and centralize credit by means of a national bank."  ...
