Mike's Ponderances: How "Healthcare Reform" Would Play Out
http://mshambaugh.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-healthcare-reform-would-play-out.html
Wednesday, August 05, 2009. How "Healthcare Reform" Would Play Out. If the "Healthcare Reform" bill put forward by the Democrats were to ever become law, here's how it would play out. (A hint: you won't like the ending.). 1) A bill including a government health insurance option and an appointed, unaccountable board of "experts" who will determine what care must be offered and to whom is passed. Get in line. We'll try to get to you within the next year. Need a joint replacement? If we calculate that you'r...

Following is a letter to the editor I submitted to my local newspaper in response to a letter advocating for John Conyers' HR 676, "The United States National Healthcare Insurance Act":. In a letter to the editor published recently, Mr. James Montgomery expressed a desire to hear from someone who does not support Socialist Healthcare in America. I'm pleased to grant his wish.

http://mshambaugh.blogspot.com/2009/02/obamas-planned-tax-hikes.html
Monday, February 23, 2009. Obama's Planned Tax Hikes. On February 4th of this year, the Congressional Budget Office submitted an analysis of the Democrats "stimulus" plan, and its expected effects on the economy.

http://mshambaugh.blogspot.com/2008/04/ethanol-is-destroying-our-economy.html
Thursday, April 03, 2008. Ethanol is Destroying Our Economy. What have we done? Ethanol as a fuel source is less efficient, more expensive, worse for the environment, and completely incapable of resolving our energy needs.

Mike's Ponderances: Why Can't They All Be Boy Scouts?
http://mshambaugh.blogspot.com/2009/03/why-cant-they-all-be-boy-scouts.html
Friday, March 20, 2009. Why Can't They All Be Boy Scouts? A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. That's the Boy Scout. I'm so very proud of my son and of all the Scouts I know for their work to do just that. If we can remind Washington D.C. of the value of those characteristics, we would all be better off. Thu Mar 26, 01:57:00 PM EDT. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). US National Debt Counter.

http://mshambaugh.blogspot.com/2007/05/border-security-first.html
Friday, May 25, 2007. Following is the text of a letter I just sent to my senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson.

As a strong supporter of yours, I just wanted to contribute my voice to the overwhelming majority of Georgians who oppose the amnesty bill (and it IS an amnesty bill, call it whatever you wish) currently under consideration, and that you have indicated support for.
