  • Debt and Deficit Deception

    George Rebane Debt or deficit, what’s the difference?  To the overwhelming majority of voters, not much.  Obama’s promise not to “add one dime to the deficit” snugly pulls the wool over the eyes of these people and almost all journalists.  RR readers know that deficits measure the annual increase in national debt in dollars per…

  • Ruminations – 8sep2009

    George Rebane Obama continues making “Depression mistakes”.  Even selected media in Great Britain are beginning to notice (here).  Part of the problem about this wool over the country’s eyes is the myth that FDR did anything other than draw out and deepen the misery of the country during his first two terms.  WW2 was the…

  • National Propaganda Radio

    George Rebane Like all politically correct people in the country, at our house every morning we wake up to NPR news and commentary (locally KXJZ 90.9FM).  We get our snoot full of the day’s leftwing litany right from the gitgo; don’t mess with us, we’re up to date in Kansas City.  Besides, it’s always good…

  • Nudging Toward the Public Option

    George Rebane Truthout.org is one of the left-wing sites that I regularly visit to catch the view from the other side.  They’ve been known now and again to heroically attempt a reasonable explanation for the odd socialist policy that may benefit from such treatment.  Their best shot at defending the ‘public option’ component of Obamacare…

  • Ruminations – 2sep2009 (updated)

    George Rebane Some national thought leaders argue that health insurance is a broad social problem since your neighbors’ health ultimately also impacts your own Quality of Life.  Then their logical short step is for government’s entry into the health insurance business.  Thomas Frank (2sep09 WSJ here) sees it as no biggie since “we already pay…

  • Healthcare ‘Myths and Mantras’

    George Rebane The national healthcare debate will again kick into high gear as Congress reconvenes in a week or so.  Both sides have been accusing each other of lying about what Obamacare will entail.  The Left’s argument is the standard ‘that is a lie/misrepresentation/myth’, and then they leave it there as if denials and counter-charges…

  • Obama’s Legacy Grows

    George Rebane Historians take years to dissect and reassemble the achievements of most American presidents into a legacy that will characterize and summarize their years in office.  President Obama appears to be simplifying that task.  Former CIA field operative and highly decorated national security official Herbert Meyer starts ‘What the President’s Attack on the CIA…

  • A Tea Party in Sacramento (updated)

    George Rebane Today the much ballyhooed cross-country Tea Party Express started off on the west steps of the State Capitol in Sacramento.  Jo Ann and I were up early to get our puppy settled for the day, pick up our neighbor, and drive down to Bethel Church where three busses were lined up and waiting…
