The Election Is Over, But the Two-Headed Beast Devours On…
Americans' inability to see the two heads of the beast for what they are is exactly what led the country into a "choice" between Trump or Clinton.

The solutions being proposed for how to "fix" Obamacare are just more of the same kinds of interventions that have caused the problems in the first place.
Not only was it sold to the public on the basis of lies, but notwithstanding the US Supreme Court's ruling to the contrary, Obamacare is unconstitutional.
Obamacare was sold to the public with the promises of lower premiums and greater competition. It's no accident that the opposite has occurred.
Obamacare supporters naturally blame the market for less competition and rising insurance premiums, despite this being a predictable consequence of the law.
The criteria Paul Krugman uses when he declares Obamacare a great "success" are obtuse and perverse.
Paul Krugman hails Obamacare as "liberating" Americans by purportedly solving a problem that was actually created by government in the first place.
Obamacare is predictably resulting in longer hospital wait times due to the increased demand while the supply of doctors remains the same.
Obamacare does nothing to address the underlying causes of soaring health care costs but, on the contrary, will only exacerbate the problems.
The lesson the statists wants Americans to take away from the standoff between Cliven Bundy and the BLM is that the serfs need to learn their place.
The Obamacare 'coverage gap' exists because the Obama administration and the Democratic supporters sought through the law to force people onto Medicaid.
I find it humorous that the media -- and insurance companies -- constantly refer to the "penalty" of Obamacare's individual mandate. They (rightly) completely ignore the Alice-In-Wonderland logic of the Supreme Court's ruling that it is a tax, but not a penalty, since penalizing people for not buying insurance would be unconstitutional. I can't help but wonder what John Roberts and the other Supreme Court justices must think when they constantly read in the media about the "penalty"....
A breakdown of why healthcare costs are soaring in America and how Obamacare is going to impact things going forward.
Paul Krugman once again disingenuously claims that the slowing rate of increase in the costs of health care can be attributed at least in part to Obamacare.
Paul Krugman says that "There are lots of good reasons for the young to sign up" for an Obamacare health insurance plan. Yet he names only one: "it’s the law."
Paul Krugman's intellectual dishonesty is yet again on display in his column "Obamacare's Secret Success", in which he claims that the so-called Affordable Care Act (ACA) is responsible for the slowdown in the costs of health care.
"So, very early reports are that Obamacare exchanges are, as expected, having some technical glitches on the first day — maybe even a bit worse than expected, because it appears that volume has been much bigger than predicted. Here’s what you need to know: this is good, not bad, news for the program.... Lots of people logging on and signing up on the very first day ... is an early indication that it’s going to be fine, that plenty of people will sign up for the first year of health reform." -- Paul Krugman, "Good Glitches", October 1, 2013
Under the headline "Right-wing extremists face new moral conundrum", Brian Beutler writes that Obamacare has all of the ingredients any marketplace needs to be successful:
1) An appealing product.
2) A large population of motivated shoppers.
3) Affordable prices, either by design or by discount.
4). A fast-moving checkout counter.
But Beutler forgot the most important ingredient of all!
Obama's promise that Americans that they could keep their health insurance if they liked it shows how he doesn't understand Obamacare.
Here are five of the top lies that have been told about the so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a.k.a., Obamacare. 1) The individual mandate is constitutional. 2) Everyone's premiums will be lower. 3) If you like your health care plan, you can keep it. 3a) Okay, so many people can't keep their plans, but their new plans will be better! 4) You can keep your doctor. 5) Obamacare creates more choice and competition.
I am a truly independent journalist and Research Fellow at The Libertarian Institute whose work is focused on exposing dangerous mainstream propaganda that serves to manufacture consent for criminal government policies.
I'm the author of several books, including Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict The War on Informed Consent, Ron Paul vs. Paul Krugman: Austrian vs. Keynesian Economics in the Financial Crisis, and The War on Informed Consent, which features a Foreword by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Topics I have covered over the years include 9/11 and the "war on terrorism", the war on Iraq, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the role of the Federal Reserve in the economy, and so-called "public health" policies including vaccines and the COVID-19 lockdown madness.
The aim of my work is to empower people with the knowledge needed to see through the lies and to create a brighter future for our children.
