If You Think $680 Billion Budget Deficit Is Big, Just Wait For Obamacare To Be Added

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is just getting started, just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Where’s the money going to come from? Is this new woman, Janet Yellen, is she going to get in the Federal Reserve and crank out another $80 billion a month to pay for this? We have to keep the stock market going. You gotta feed the monkey, you know, man. Is she […]

The Founding Fathers Weren’t Gods, And Neither Are Modern Politicians

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I wish it were a news flash, but it’s not a news flash that the welfare state has replaced the charity state and the little laboratories of philanthropy and democracy that de Tocqueville saw when he came here back in the 1820s and 1830s and wrote a book about it called Democracy in America. I think the experiment was doomed to fail as soon […]

For The Umpteenth Time, You Cannot “Fix” The Federal Leviathan, You Cannot “Fix” Politics, You Must Secede

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – As far as your third party, I don’t have the answer to your political question, because I don’t think that politics is going to solve or is capable of solving any of this. If it were, then I would think since the Roman polis was created, or if you want to go back to the Athenian republics of ancient Greece, I would think over […]

What Did The Founders Think Of Big Government? Let’s Ask John Taylor Of Caroline

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – The last caller to the program asked me what I thought the founders, why they opposed or why they afraid of big government. I said to him that to answer that question, you’d have to understand or explain exactly what big government would have meant to them. It did not mean to them what it means to us today, because we see this monstrosity […]

Conservative, Tea Party, And Republican Are Not Synonyms

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Here’s the headline from the magazine post: “Why the Tea Party Can’t Govern.” Here, let me give you the tease, “Something is seriously wrong with conservatism.” Let me stop right there. Damn skippy, yeah! Hello!? Conservatism is an advertising slogan. That’s what’s wrong with it. Anything that becomes an ism, you might say, is probably, going back to Frohnen’s post about “What is this […]

President Obama Actually Takes Some Responsibility For Obamacare Disaster

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – I’ll give the president credit on that one score that he did not throw Sebelius under the bus, back it up, and then run over her. He actually said: It’s my team. Give him props for the one instance there. It would have been very easy for him to say: Man, that was a mistake! I need to find out which staffer it was […]

Obamacare Is Un-Insuring Americans Faster Than It’s Insuring Them

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Folks, are you noticing a trend here? None of this crap has anything to do with actually doctoring or nursing, none of it. PPO, HMO, EPO, HMS, all these things, HealthCare.gov, exchange plan, change this, plan that, extended care, early care, none of this has anything to do with needles and syringes and stethoscopes and sphygmomanometer (I think that’s what the gizmo is called […]

The Federal Leviathan Needs To Be Downsized Before This Last Train To Brokesville Derails

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – Just to put this in perspective, this would mean that our mighty, gargantuan federal leviathan would have to exist on a paltry $1.2 trillion. In other words, it would have to exist on the expenditures of the last year of the Reagan administration, in 1989. Chew on that for a moment. Think about that. Then come back to me and tell me exactly how, […]

Obamacare Should Have Asked Amazon.com For Help

Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Transcript – This is what is amazing to me. What did you expect it to be able to do? It would be too much to ask, wouldn’t it, that the powers that be inside Mordor on the Potomac River would, I don’t know, maybe ask the people that built the Amazon website to give them a hand? That one seems to be able to deliver products […]
