Mary Jo Shepherd Health Care Spaghetti

Most of you by now have seen Rep. John Boehner’s health care reform map that was compiled by the Cato Institute. If you haven’t; just try googling it -- it’s worth it. The map exemplifies everything that is wrong with a government takeover of health care. Government run anything is too big and too complicated. Therefore it never serves those it is intended to serve very well at all. Let’s think about some facts. The spaghetti plate process map the Cato Institute created shows us how very compli… Continue

While most conservatives share a number of values across the board ... There is often a tension in conservative circles between those who place emphasis on societal/cultural issues (i.e., abortion, traditional family, etc.) and those who place emphasis on fiscal issues (i.e., tax policy, debts, limited government). This March 13 Wall Street Journal article is a great example as to why both sets of folks need to work together. Nothing happens in a vaccuum ... this article points out that as gove… Continue
