A Reckless Congress

The WSJ on one of the greatest raids on private income in American history.

The article recites an astonishing list of tax increases and concludes:

We could go on, and we will in coming days. But the most remarkable quality of this health-care exercise is its reckless disregard for economic and fiscal reality. With the economy still far from a healthy recovery, and the federal fisc already nearly $2 trillion in deficit, Democrats want to ram through one of the greatest raids on private income and business in American history. The world is looking on, agog, and wondering why the United States seems intent on jumping off this cliff.

Hammer your representatives with the message that we do not want to be driven off that cliff. It would mean the end of the American experiment.

Sometimes I Wonder

How many blacks support Planned Parenthood? And why?

Planned Parenthood founder and Leftist icon, Margaret Sanger, was not only a eugenicist, but a rather racist one.

In “Woman and the New Race,” Sanger insisted that women create an enormous “debt to society [by] creating slums, filling asylums with the insane, and institutions with other defectives. … Poverty and the large family generally go hand in hand. … The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

Of blacks, Sanger wrote, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Gee, ya think?

It just may turn out that current climate models are wrong.

“In a nutshell, theoretical models cannot explain what we observe in the geological record,” says oceanographer Gerald Dickens, study co-author and professor of Earth Science at Rice University in Houston. “There appears to be something fundamentally wrong with the way temperature and carbon are linked in climate models.”

Again: I’m old enough to remember overpopulation, global cooling, DDT killing birds and the hole in the ozone. All bogus. Chicken Little has really been quite consistent.

It’s hard to confirm a model when you can’t even be sure of the data.
