I Was Completely Wrong About Barack Obama
Jim Geraghty looks at the bright side of Obama. It is sarcasm but I am glad that people have seen the light and can see what is really going on.
Reality is setting in and we can see what Obama really is.Friday, January 29, 2010
State of the Union
I like this analysis of the State of the Union address. It is more of the same.
Government is not the solution, it is the problem. I would love to see healthcare reformed, but having the government take over is not what is needed to reform it. I can give him some ideas on reforming healthcare and I would start by reforming the lawyers. Frivolous lawsuits drive-up the costs of healthcare. I also like the ideas in the video. The problem is not a deficit of ideas and real reforms, the problem is Obama and the politicians (Democrats and Republicans) are beholden to special interest groups and lobbyist and are more interested in making themselves wealthy off from the taxpayers than they are in really addressing the problems.

Hayek vs. Keynes
While I do not like rap I thought this video comparing the thoughts of Hayek and Keynes is really good.
The visual metaphor of Keynes getting drunk and then having a hangover is really good. You can only live so long on borrowed money and then it comes time to pay the piper. I like Hayek. He adheres to principles rather than hype. We are living this comparison now as the "stimulus" has not done any good and it will actually make things worse in the long run. You cannot break natural laws; you can only break yourself against them. The Law of the Harvest (Hayek) will eventually win and you will reap what you have sown.
