The Dodd-Frank recession has been ongoing for almost two years. There are fears of a double dip recession but since we really haven’t climbed out of the current one, these fears are premature. All of this, in spite of passing a stimulus bill in excess of $862 billion on top of TARP bailouts. A second [...]

The 2008-2009 Dodd-Frank Recession shrank United States Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by -10.9%. The policies of the Bush and Obama administrations further worsened the economy as unemployment hovers just below 10%.

Giffords stated the Act “will provide security for seniors, guarantee access to health insurance coverage for the uninsured and make health care affordable for the middle class . . .” and that the Act will “[i]mprove Medicare for 135,000 beneficiaries . . .” What Giffords did not tell her constituents is 279,833 Arizona seniors will lose their Medicare Advantage coverage because Giffords voted to gut Medicare funding by $500 billion. Giffords cannot gut Medicare and simultaneously improve it.

March 21, 2010, Health Care Reform passed the House: a Democrat controlled Congress trampled on the Constitutional rights of all Americans, moving America one step closer to the tyranny of a progressive-socialist political system.

The so-called $787 billion “Stimulus Bill,” which not one member of [...]

The scam that Sen. Nelson pulled on his constituents, Sen. Harry Reid and the United States in general, shall bring nothing but shame and retribution on all of Nebraska. A new idiom has entered the English language for all Americans, the “cornhusker kickback”.

First, the Constitution does not give Congress the power to require that Americans purchase health insurance. Congress must be able to point to at least one of its powers listed in the Constitution as the basis of any legislation it passes. None of those powers justifies the individual insurance mandate.
