Finsbury Park seemed to stretch for miles. The garbagemen were on strike. So
too, at one time or another, were hospital workers, ambulance drivers,
truck drivers, railwaymen. Also gravediggers: In Liverpool, corpses had to
be warehoused as they awaited burial—yet another long queue that socialist
Britain had arranged for its patient masses.

by Jammie
Poor Obama. He’s spent years trotting around useful idiot Warren Buffett,
even going so far as to use his secretary as political fodder. Well, they
may be headed for a messy breakup.
Healthcare costs in the United States are like a tapeworm eating at our
economic body.
Those words come from famed investor Warren Buffett, who said he would
scrap Obamacare and start all over.

The polarizing effects of the Affordable Care Act have become even sharper
since the launch of public health insurance purchasing exchanges on Oct. 1.
Those effects were highlighted by a panel of experts convened by Employee
Benefit News for a web seminar titled, “It’s Oct. 2, Now What? Catching Up
on ACA Implementation.”
Some of the conflicts center around the search for evidence that public
exchange rates present either a great bargain for individuals, or no... 阅读全帖 |

by Jammie via Jammie Wearing Fools
Frankly, it’s the only bright spot about the economy during his reign of
error. He’s failed at everything else, but somehow the stock market has
doubled since 2009. Of course, he has nothing to do with it.
A 98 percent gain in the stock market should be a boon to any sitting
president, but that hasn’t been the case for President Obama.

反抗西方、日本侵略和苏联霸权的精神象征如果是希特勒，那意味着什么呢？那就是说
，中国人只要不肯被主宰，只要坚持独立自主那就是法西斯。正像我常说的：民主就是
让西方民众来做你的主子，独裁就是企图独立裁决本国事务，法西斯就是设法修改西方
主导的国际秩序，哪怕以最斯文的方式。毛泽东不希望让洋人来做中国人的主子，中国
人希望独立裁决本国事务，中国希望修改完全倒向西方的当今国际秩序，结果中国就成
了法西斯，毛泽东就成了希特勒了。
