First, from Rigzone.com: the US energy boom. This is where I would start, with a cup of coffee.
Second, many links at Independent Stock Analysis.
And, from CarpeDiem.com: oil boom due to private enterprise, not central planning. Read this article side-by-side with the Rigzone article above.
I haven't downloaded CarpeDiem.com's poster of the day, but it appears to say: Socialism -- ideas so good, they have to be made mandatory.
If I get the time, I might post a stand-alone on how a number of books that I am reading now (in literature and biographies) talk about Soviet Russia in the 1930's and how their central planning then looks a lot like our central planning now. There really does seem to be an anti-business / anti-capitalism tone in Washington, DC. Maybe it's just my perception but it seems in the 1950's the US government was helping US business; now it seems it is just the opposite.
The books referenced include biographies of Paul Dirac and Edmund Wilson; autobiography of Stephen Spender; and, of course, Daniel Yergin's Pulitzer Prize-winning The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power.
A reader sent this link, an audio on ObamaCare. Thesis: demand for medical care far exceeds supply, and the current discussion in Washington does not address this issue, except through rationing.
I had a 6 month check up with my physician about 4 weeks ago, This man has been my primary doctor for 7 years.. he indicated that when/ if this ACA was legal he would not be taking on any NEW patients.. he was more than busy with the work load he had now, and at 55 years old he did not need the extra work /or concerns.. The same hospital my doctor is affialated with has had 2 older physicans completely retire in the last 2 years.. So if this is occuring here in ND what is it like in larger metro hospitals/clinics.
ReplyDeleteRecent poll: 83% of physicians considered quitting medicine when ObamaCare passed.
ReplyDeleteFolks have no idea how difficult it will be to get appointments in the future. And, yes, you are correct: physicians will not be taking new patients.
