Immigration

Hooray for the Arizona immigration bill. Something needs to be done while the Feds dither in Washington, more concderned with re-election than with the business of the people.

"Economist" newpaper on the U.S, Health care bill

There is of course a flurry of words being written now on the recently signed Obama Health cae bill. Read a lot and be skeptical. Here are some noteworthy comments from the "Economist":

"All this points to the only certain thing about Obamacare; this is just another episode in the long saga of health reform. Indeed by adding tens of millions of people to an unreformed and unsustainably expensive health system, this reform makes it all the more urgent to tackle the question of cost.
On that, at least, the left and right seem to agreee. Paul Krugman, an economics professor at Princeton and a liberal booster of reform wrote on the eve of the votes; "There is, as always, a tunnel at the end of the tunnel; we'll spend years if not decades fixing this thing". Robert Moffit of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank opposed to the effort, agrees, albiet in darker terms; This marks the begining of the next phase of this hundred years war".
