Obamacare Still a Mystery to All

Even the experts, those in favor of Obamacare, and those opposed to Obamacare, can not explain to the media why the Obamacare federal law, the implementing federal regulations, and the implementing software built into the federal website, do what they do.

Apparently we will have to wait for historians decades after the fact to tell us what was in the Obamacare law.

using a cautious strategy of delay and avoidance - theory advocating state ownership of industry - established by gradual reforms within the law -

We already know it is to worship the state as God who provides all. Shall we peel the ethical onion?

Inflationary debasement is as sick as watching one to many deer in a section all starve analogy from a hard snow.

The moral hazzard is so assured some sections we noted as wasting is assured.

Affordable Care Act are in the process of being shifted from corporations and profitable small businesses to households, thus serving as a de facto tax increase.

Hegel was right in saying the only thing we learn from history is that it's ignored.

Everyone has the right to starve.
To posture constructive views today the reaction is the amout consumed from others and attack about what they consider actual knowledge is.
Life gave us a current lesson as a punch in the nose again with the ice storm here.
No president, no govenor, no senator, no fed came to our rescue, and sadly many deaths. Its that simple today.

Good news is positive thinking moved the air temp to -6

As we noted before the cool aid from the source: asymmetric paternalism, states that paternalism should be invited if it bestows large benefits on those who make errors in judgment while imposing little or no harm upon those who are fully rational. While some may argue that this benefit to shortsighted consumers comes at the expense of retailers, it can be posited that correcting these errors in judgment enhances economic efficiency to the benefit of both parties involved. Given that achieving such change is a difficult process, it is helpful to understand the dynamics of an individual’s desires and the strategies that can effectively control them, AEA Papers and Proceedings, May 2003.

Outsourcing, which was endorsed by NAFTA way over a decade ago, would be enhanced under TPP, where manipulation of governments by mega-corporations could ensure profit margins increase exponentially.

No accident to what is coming....

Puerto Rico - Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) The "blueprint " just as before on the sticky wages forumed as was our area was also before. Welcome to what we seen when we watched countless who lost half benefits and one third wages as the taxpayer blindly subsidized the blue prints of plant closing.

Locals note: They are fleeing Puerto Rico for the same reason that everyone else is - decades of dependence on US welfare has destroyed the island's economy and culture. Only criminals and the poor are seen on most streets. This is what "social programs" accomplish.

And now my children you understand why you had been instructed not to join the debt sheep in the educational debt bubble
and other affairs.

The enactment of H.R. 2847 came one day after the Senate passed the measure, 68-29, without amending the bill to protect the American worker
from losing job opportunities to illegal aliens.

The spike in prices on Tuesday was significant. On the wholesale market, a megawatt-hour of electricity, an amount of energy that would run a big suburban house for a month and which on normal days sells for $40 or $50 in many locations, was going for $500 to $1,000 in New Jersey, Delaware and big areas of Pennsylvania and Maryland.

lib'-er-ti (deror, rachabh; eleutheria): The opposite of servitude or bondage, hence, applicable to captives or slaves set free from oppression (thus deror, Lev 25:10; Isa 61:1, etc.). Morally, the power which enslaves is sin (Jn 8:34), and liberty consists, not simply in external freedom, or in possession of the formal power of choice, but in deliverance from the darkening of the mind, the tyranny of sinful lusts and the enthrallment of the will, induced by a morally corrupt state. In a positive respect, it consists in the possession of holiness, with the will and ability to do what is right and good. Such liberty is possible only in a renewed condition of soul, and cannot exist apart from godliness. Even under the Old Testament godly men could boast of a measure of such liberty (Ps 119:45, rachabh, "room," "breadth"), but it is the gospel of Christ which bestows it in its fullness, in giving a full and clear knowledge of God, discovering the way of forgiveness, supplying the highest motives to holiness and giving the Holy Spirit to destroy the power of sin and to quicken to righteousness. In implanting a new life in the soul, the gospel lifts the believer out of the sphere of external law, and gives him a sense of freedom in his new filial relation to God. Hence, the New Testament expressions about "the glorious liberty" of God's children (Rom 8:21 the King James Version; compare Gal 2:4; 5:13, etc.), about liberty as resulting from the possession of the Spirit (2 Cor 3:17), about "the perfect law of liberty" (Jas 1:25). The instrument through which this liberty is imparted is "the truth" (Jn 8:32). Christians are earnestly warned not to presume upon, or abuse their liberty in Christ (Gal 5:13; 1 Pet 2:16).

Lev 25:10
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Jhn 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Jhn 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Jhn 8:13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
Jhn 8:14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
Jhn 8:15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
Jhn 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Jhn 8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

Deu 24:15 At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.

Franklin explores his own intellectualism, and he fully converts to Deism. He adopts the ideals of "truth, sincerity and integrity," and as a means of debating these, he forms a group called the Junto, which meets every Friday to discuss questions of philosophy and morality. The group lasts approximately 40 years, and expands substantially later on. Through Franklin's great industry, his new paper avoids bankruptcy. However, when Keimer falls on the verge of bankruptcy, Franklin buys his paper and turns it around (Keimer later goes fully broke and moves to the Caribbean). He also become the official printer for the Pennsylvania Assembly, the colonial government, thanks to his connections with a Mr. Hamilton whom he met on a boat to England. Franklin begins to make a substantial amount of money which he uses to pay off all the debts he ever incurred, plus interest. Meredith, meanwhile, leaves the newspaper and moves to the southern colonies. In 1729, Franklin hires two men named Coleman and Grace to replace Meredith and to expand the operation. Several months later, a debate arises in the government over paper money, and Franklin prints his pamphlet entitled The Nature and Necessity of a Paper Currency. When the House votes in favor of paper currency, they hire Franklin to print it, which brings him good income. He was later hired to print even more government documents. Meanwhile, he starts to think about marriage. He has trouble finding a wife because the job of a printer is not yet seen as very respectable. He finally weds his old sweetheart, Miss Read, on September 1, 1730. It is her second marriage; her first husband abandoned her. She helps Franklin in his "first project of a public nature": a subscription library, which Franklin founds as the first library in America.

Note: At this point, Franklin stops writing his autobiography so that he can devote himself fully to the events of the Revolution, which are just beginning. He resumes writing after the Revolution, in the early 1780s.

He also noted there is, or is not, and you better hope not on your relationship to Faith since I can convey from my view it has nothing to do with religion. Many will forget the work is in the fields and the Church is a Hospital to be mended to go to work.

Franklin is writing Part Three from his home in America. He is writing in August 1788, about four years after ceasing work on Part Two and 17 years after completing Part One.

Franklin founds it out of the intent to begin something "both entertaining and useful." He also wants something to instruct "the common people," which he does via his many aphorisms. One issue, for instance, quips, "It's hard for an empty sack to stand upright." He uses parts of his newspaper, The Pennsylvania Gazette, to the same educational purpose. The paper, with its circulation of 1,500, comprises over half of Franklin's income. He makes sure at all time to keep the paper free from libel and abuse, and he never allows private arguments to make their way into his presses.

My own views are just that since my wife’s people have ways. You have the right to starve just where you stand.

The economy hasn't grown more than 4% in any year since I don't know when. Yet the S&P 500 stock index is up 4% in 2 months. Yes, we know that to justify a stock market bubble it is often said that "The stock market is not the economy."

So onto the part of the economy that is the stock market. The earnings of the companies in the S&P 500 index grew 6% last year. Yet the S&P 500 stock index is up 6% in 3 months, and 26% in 12 months. When the market crashes, commentators who are saying that "The stock market is not the economy" can change gears to "Doncha know, earnings only grew 6% while stocks were up 26%, anybody could see that wasn't sustainable."

One thing that really intrigues me is a look at the 200 day moving average versus the daily price of the S&P 500 going back to when the bubble took off in 1994. When the bubble took off, the 200 day moving average wasn't touched in over a year. Quite understandable seeing as it was near the beginning of the move from what may have been a reasonable valuation and healthier economy compared to today. It's been almost 14 months since the S&P 500 has touched its 200 day moving average or even come close to it. Quite fascinating in light of the growth of the economy and earnings.
