Is Barack Obama introducing it to the U.S.?
Of course he is.

The Powerline post reminds me of this post from almost four years ago.

Related: the New Left fascists. Not that much different than the old ones, really.
I’ll be talking to David Livingston this afternoon at 2 PM PDT about my space safety project, which seems to be turning into a small book, that I hope to publish this month.
[Update mid-afternoon]
I’ll be on in ten minutes or so.

Well, that was in interesting discussion. It went on for a couple hours. The most important thing to me was that David brought up one of the very best case studies for my thesis — the Hubble decision. I’m going to incorporate it into the book (yes, I’ve decided to just call it a book). This is partly just a reminder for me to do so…

It’s probably worth repeating this video from the space teddy bears. Or dogs. Or whatever.
Stephen Green says there is one.
In this economy, I wonder how many people aren’t answering calls from pollsters because they’re afraid that the calls are from creditors? And how that demographic would skew?
…by progressives.
Government contractors have similar problems.
Time to euthanize it:
Obama-care lays waste to half of this “double security” by funneling almost unimaginable levels of power and money to Washington. What’s more, in its startling delegation of de facto lawmaking power to the secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other unelected figures in the executive branch, it also severely undermines the separation of powers among the branches. For example, Obama-care is making it illegal for anyone in America (with the narrow exception of houses of worship) to freely sell or buy an insurance plan that fails to offer free birth control and sterilization. But this ban is nowhere to be found in the 2,700 pages of the law itself. Rather, it came as a decree from HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, exercising her newfound power. If Obama-care isn’t repealed, examples of such rule by fiat will proliferate.
This brings us back to Romney, the only man who stands in the way of Obama-care’s taking root from coast to coast. Over the next five weeks, Romney would do well to repeat at every turn what he said in Ohio. He should seize this golden opportunity to paint for voters the picture of their future under Obama-care. This has to be a key point in next week’s debate.
Yes. He has to make it a big-government, separation of powers, federalism issue, because that’s the only way he can defend his actions in Massachusetts.
…is science fiction. The people who write these things know nothing about economics, and when making decisions like this, that’s at least as important as the science.
…may show up just in time for the election.
Really, if he wanted to create a recession, what would he have done differently?

The coming recession.
I do think that it can be staved off, or at least mitigated, if the Republicans take over both branches next year, just by suspending all of the job-killing regulations, including ObamaCare.
…to violate the law. These people are just shameless.

“So, the government is going to provide the funds to pay the fines they impose on the contractors for non-compliance with regulations written by the government.
You couldn’t make this stuff up.”
Nope.
California hammers another nail in its own coffin.
