Senator Dick Durbin didn't intend for his amendment to last year's financial reform legislation to result in new debit-card fees. But it did. The Affordable Care Act, as its name suggests, intended to make care more affordable. It did the opposite. Family premiums are up 10 percent this year. Read my column @ Human Events on how political control freaks can't control the consequences of their meddling.

The best thing that could happen to this country and the thing that would make us uber productive would be if we could get rid of these career politicians or at least have them keep their greasy fingers out of the pie while collecting pay for their phony baloney job titles!

That's why everytime there is gridlock in D.C., the nation gets healthier.

To think that just because some academician or minor level bureaucrat with nice hair and a teleprompter smile has any expertise managing the affairs of business or people solely because they can get elected is the kind of methodology that is weakening and stifling this country.
