The Obamacare Disaster
This study is a comprehensive review of the Act and an early appraisal of its likely effects. It is the second report by the author on Obamacare, the first being a critique of bills still being debated by Congress in August 2009. Most of the bill's provisions, except its tax increases, do not go into effect until 2014. So what follows is like a visit from the ghost of Christmas Future, shadows of what will be, but do not have to be, if we will change it. Obamacare instead could be repealed and replaced with far superior reforms...which in fact are the author's recommendations.

Global Warming: Facts vs. Faith

"The politicization of science is tantamount to killing it," writes Apollo 7 astronaut Walter Cunningham. "It is our collective responsibility to champion the use of responsible science to inform politicians. There are hopeful signs that some true believers are beginning to harbor doubts about anthropogenic global warming.
