Here’s some advance information in prep for Rep. Roskam’s testimony in front of the House Ways & Means Committee on Medicare fraud: Roskam’s Straightforward Fix to Medicare Fraud Predictive modeling technology would save billions

You're completely missing the real outrage here. These dealerships were being closed in an effort to bring an automaker Washington essentially owns back to profitability. Lay-offs and shut downs are an inescapable part of any business restructuring. Now, in a craven political move, we're seeing them sustained on the government teat. Profit is what politicians covet, not what they know how to create. Certainly none more so than Obama.

The UAW gets a sweetheart bankruptcy deal, now the dealers have their hands back in our pockets.

Peace is not a process. Peace exists when one of two conditions is met: 1) two groups of people have no wish to kill one another (e.g., the U.S. and Canada), or 2) one or both of the groups would like to kill the other, but is deterred or otherwise prevented from doing so (e.g., the Cold War). In neither case is a "process" typically involved. Negotiation, unlike peace, is indeed a process. But negotiations, even when they lead to a treaty or agreement, cannot bring peace unless one of the above conditions is also met. (See Munich, Oslo, countless others).

The main purpose of our federal system is that it creates a free market for liberty. If one state goes off the rails into authoritarianism, people can cross the border to another. For example, Washington residents who want clean dishes can go to Idaho to buy effective detergent, which is forbidden by the petty tyrant environazis who run their own state.

Israel's new Prime Minister (and by far, the toughest, well spoken Israeli politician of his age), Benjamin Netanyahu, issued an ultimatum to Barack "The Talker" Obama: Take care of Iran, or I will.

From The Atlantic.

In an interview conducted shortly before he was sworn in today as prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu laid down a challenge for Barack Obama.
