Why Obamacare Might Cost You a Job

When Obamacare was being pushed through Congress, one of the things we were promised was that it would create jobs. But other than more bureaucrats, what jobs has it created? Now, we find out, it may end up costing people jobs!
The consumer is not dead
October 25, 2011
As much as we hear from the media about weak consumer activity, all the data says exactly the opposite. People out there are spending money on cars, goods, and services. The consumer’s not dead; not by a long shot.

The Economic Twilight Zone
October 12, 2011
Economic data show growth, but the Pouting Pundits of Pessimism on television, the internet, and in print say “recession” is here, or will be soon. Headlines and quotes from the punditry are nothing but dour. It’s like the “economic Twilight Zone.” Reality doesn’t seem to matter anymore.
It’s true that the economy is underperforming. Real GDP in the US has expanded at an average annual rate of just 2.5% in the past two years. The unemployment rate is 9.1% and everyone knows someone out of work. But, weak growth alone is not a recession; it’s still growth.

The Philosophy of Liberty
October 6, 2011
You see and hear the word liberty tossed around a lot these days, but what does it really mean? What exactly was Jefferson claiming to be an unalienable right? Does the concept of liberty allow for what passes through Congress in recent times? I highly recommend that you take eight minutes out of your day to watch this video. In it, you will learn the components of liberty and both ways to secure our liberty, and how it can be taken from us. Educate yourself and arm yourself with knowledge before making any decisions on who's going to represent you in our government.
