The Freeman | Ideas On Liberty » Cartoon Economic Policy. Just in case my earlier posts on economics had too many big words, this one uses South Park, the Care Bears, and Roadrunner cartoons to explain our situation.
And you should be able to read the article in less than 5 minutes.

Origin and Rise of Compulsory Medicine
Posted by thak in economics, government, health, philosophical, politics on April 1, 2010
Origin and Rise of Compulsory Medicine – Melchior Palyi – Mises Institute. With a title like this, one might assume it was written surrounding this recent health care debate.
Uh, no. Try 1950. And guess who is a model leader of nationalized health care?
That’s right, kids. Adolf freaking Hitler.
And they say that conservatives are Nazis…
Actually, I believe that both the Democrat and Republican parties are fascist, scrambling and clawing to get as much power as they can before the whole thing comes crumbling down on top of them. Which is going to happen sooner rather than later…

The government can cover these expenses for so long…and then they have to get more fuel (money) to stay aloft.
But there’s only two ways to do that: taxes & inflation.
Either one of those options are going to screw everyone–the people with the least money being the hardest hit. Low income? Fixed income? Game over. You lose.

The Freeman | Ideas On Liberty » Will Medical “Reform” Cut Real Costs?. Come on, people. It’s basic economics. Basic math. Basic common freaking sense.
This is epic fail in a bottle.
And, unfortunately, people are going to be bearing the burden of this abomination for years. Great Depression: The Sequel, here we come.
Killer combo of salt, fat and sugar
Posted by thak in business, diet, health, philosophical on March 15, 2010
Obesity: The killer combination of salt, fat and sugar | David A Kessler | Life and style | The Guardian. Very interesting article. As someone who’s done much better on the low-carb diets than anything previous, I’ll stick with the stuff that makes me full. But you’d be a fool to not understand that profit is the motive of everyone selling packaged foods of any type–even the “organic” weenies.
