Cash for Clunkers: $24,000 per vehicle

There was a study done on Edmunds.com on the Cash For Clunkers program. According to CNN, what they found is that a lot of the people who bought into the program were going to buy cars anyway.
By figuring out what it cost for people who were not going to buy a car, but were probably swayed by the program, Edmunds figured out the actual cost of every new car bought (that wouldn't have been) at about $24,000.

CBO: Public plan premiums will be more expensive then the 'health exchange' premiums by private insurers

Thanks again to the Politico for reporting this:

The public insurance option would typically charge higher premiums than private plans available in the exchange, according to the Congressional Budget Office analysis of the House bill.

Again, completely predictable. The government plans to take over the insurance... and it costs more.

What are health insurance profits?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you AP for actually fact checking this:

Health insurance profit margins typically run about 6 percent, give or take a point or two. That's anemic compared with other forms of insurance and a broad array of industries, even some beleaguered ones.

Who woulda thought?
Oh yeah... Republicans, who have been pointing this out for a month now.

My president, the asshat

Explaining that unlike Democrats, Republicans do what they are told to do...


Mr. President: no one had to tell me to call you an asshat.
I figured that out on my own.

Barney Frank admits trying to increase the role of government in everything

This video, from Real Clear Politics, needs to be seen to be believed.

What if Bush had done that?

Politico has a great article titled:
What if Bush had done that?

Its a good read. Here's a short section.

A four-hour stop in New Orleans, on his way to a $3 million fundraiser.

Snubbing the Dalai Lama.

Signing off on a secret deal with drug makers.

Freezing out a TV network.

Doing more fundraisers than the last president. More golf, too.

Liveblogging; I'm going through bill H.R. 3962

Bill H.R. 3962 is the latest health care bill introduced to congress.

You can download it at that link. Its 1,990 pages of regulations.

I'll be going through it over the next few days. Forgive me for not printing this one out, since it would literally take 4 REAMS OF PAPER to print it. Just to give you an idea of how much paper that is... my toner cartridge is good for about 3,000 pages.
2/3rds of my toner cartridge would be used if I printed the full thing.

If you're reading it with me, the first few pages are the table of contents.
Up until page 16, its page after page of definitions that they are using for the sake of the bill.

I'm now on the first page of actual bill, which is entitled:
SEC. 101. NATIONAL HIGH-RISK POOL PROGRAM.

This is a pool that would be established Jan. 1st, 2010; or about two months from now.
I presume that this is to placate the people on the left who were complaining that the health care bill wasn't even going to cover anyone for two years.
