Of special interest to me is the statement that they knew cancellation of plans would happen back in 2010 and they still said people could keep their plans.

It's amazing how a little  truth alters perceptions.  Too bad the executive branch and its allies do not understand this.  Thank you Michelle for your service to the American people.

When companies lie in their ads they are charged and fined by the government and often forced to take back their products.  When politicians lie in their campaign ads it's just politics as usual.

1.  Under Obamacare we will be able to keep our existing plans if we are happy with them.  This article gives witness to the falsehood of this statement.
2. Obamacare will cause medical costs and premiums to go down.  Based on reports on new and existing policy costs this is another lie.
3.  Obamacare will be good for the economy.  Based on the two previous statements one has to worry about the accuracy of this statement.

Someone's pants are definitely on fire and we the people have been duped.

Interesting point and maybe even a valid one.  The Supreme Court ruled ObamaCare was Constitutional since it is a tax.  If ObamaCare is a tax then it was not legally passed since taxes and spending bills must originate in the House.  Looks like another potential court challenge to me.

I'm finding this article disturbing.  I worked for years in an industrial training center and we depended on our entry level students having reasonable math skills and the ability to solve problems.  I can't think of a job that I had where I did not use these skills.  If Americans are losing these skills that are absolutely necessary in our modern world we are in big trouble.

Shutdown, Obamacare in in the crosshairs (Press-Register Sound Off)

My Comments:
Some interesting  comments on Obama Care and the Shutdown.
I do agree with the writer who points out that the Republicans have bent over backwards trying to negotiate a deal.  It is the President, Senator Reid, and their supporters who are causing this Shutdown and I believe the majority of the American voters know this.
I also agree that the Congress, the Executive, and their staffs should have their medical benefits withdrawn, especially those who get benefits for life for less that 10 or more years of service.

One of the best analysis of the problems political correctness introduces to security concerns that I've seen.  Strangely the politically correct crowd claims that an equal for all society is their goal but in practice their pet special interest groups get special treatment which in the cases cited have resulted in the death of innocents.

How to ruin Labor Day

My Comments:
Sort of reminds me of what happened at gas stations.
When I was a teenager I worked one summer at a gas station for at the rate of $10/day for an 8 hour shift.  When the customer's car pulled up to the service island one guy pumped the gas, another one checked under the hood and if asked the tire pressure, and another one cleaned the windows and if asked would vacuum the floorboards.  The station had 6 islands and each crew of 3 covered 3 islands.  We had one guy in the back just doing oil changes, another fixing flats and changing tires, and another washing cars. The station also had 2 full time mechanics in addition to the station owner who was the head mechanic.  This was at the busiest station in a major southern city and the owner was making a good living while providing all these summer jobs.
Then along came several minimum wage hikes and look at the typical station in the same area today.  The customer pumps their own gas, wipes their own windows if the station has a squeegee out there (about half of them), checks their own oil, and if they want their floorboards vacuumed there may be a coin operated vacuum for the customer to use.  And many pumps take credit cards thus making any interaction with station staff (these days 1 cashier whose job is in jeopardy) unnecessary.
