The Healthcare Herring - Charlie Virgo - Mises Daily

The Healthcare Herring - Charlie Virgo - Mises Daily: "Even if we assume that the statistics are accurate and the opinions are valid, what evidence have they provided that more government is the answer? Simply announcing that 50 million Americans are uninsured doesn't mean a government-run healthcare system is necessary, because it could have been our government's involvement that has led to the current situation."

Shrinking Government | Richard W. Rahn | Cato Institute: Commentary: "This is a $300 billion increase in the deficit in this year of claimed 'economic recovery.' The House Republicans are trying to come up with a proposal to 'cut' $100 billion from this year's budget, and the White House says it is too much. To restate: The White House just increased its estimate of the budget deficit for this year by an amount much larger than the House Republicans are trying to save."
