Reuters is the vehicle for pro-euthenasia propaganda from Britain, where doctor-assisted suicide is supposedly gaining in popularity. The article gets into the financial aspect of socialized medicine part way through:
“It is good holistic palliative care, not medical killing which is the answer to the real distresses of so many people when contemplating natural death,” Watt said.
However, funding is an issue. Palliative care for people with terminal illness relies on nearly 50 percent of its funding from grants and charities, according to the National Council for Palliative Care. (more…)

Economic observers are split into two camps, doomsday prophets and cheerful global recoverists. We expect an unpredictable middle path with surprises, some ugly. We are less certain about the economy than we are about the global socialist takeover, which appears inevitable. Orient your thinking toward both scenarios and weigh your options from your unique position. Note that most economists agree that the recession is over, but the long-term financial trends appear ominous. (more…)

There has been a flap over the past couple of days over Obama’s refusal to appear on Fox News, and more generally over the Obama administration’s designation of anyone who disagrees with them as enemies. This story got a little play on CNN, with James Carville and David Gergen debating some Republican whom we can’t even remember on Anderson Cooper’s version of the news. This is the way CNN sets it up, with some faceless, low-level, relatively clueless spokesman arguing the other side, weakly. (more…)

On the Wall Street TV shows the talking heads agree that “the worst is over” as stock markets recover from the global financial crash. Their conventional wisdom is, now is a good time to get back into the market. Housing prices may be nearing a bottom, and manufacturing and trade are picking up again. The stimulus is working, and the Fed may soon raise interest rates and let the markets work unsupported from here. (more…)

Ireland has ratified the Lisbon Treaty restructuring the European Union. BrusselsJournal has the report, with historical background.
Poland has also ratified the treaty.
WiseUpJournal has a few reports on irregularities in the run-up to the Irish vote.
The Telegraph reports on how the EU will have a “personality,” that is, how it will act as a nation. The European Union will have a president, a foreign minister, and diplomatic embassies around the world.
They voted to be taken over.

We’ve been hoping that congressional watchdogs charged with tracking the TARP bailouts would uncover enough evidence to prove that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson engaged in criminal behavior by loaning our money to his friends. TARP Inspector General Neil Barofsky released an audit on Monday reporting that Ben Bernanke and Henry Paulson lied about the financial health of some of the banks that received TARP funds. This revelation doesn’t amount to evidence of a criminal conspiracy. It could be dismissed as “faulty judgment” or something similar. Story at The Washington Times.
Washington has a long piece on the big banks that comes pretty close to explaining why they are not being broken up.
While the largest 20 banks that received bailout money were laying off 160,000 employees, the top executives were given millions of dollars worth of stock options. That is why banker compensation needs to stay in the public’s awareness. As time goes by, all of these scandals can be swept under the rug and forgotten. Congress is participating in the cover-up.
You need to frame further economic developments upon these basic building blocks: (1) The TARP money was misspent, and the big banks did not resume lending as promised. The top executives profited while the employees and the taxpayers got the shaft. (2) The Democrats had the opportunity to target job creation and enlarge the welfare support system when they came into office, but they funded the Left, built up the federal bureaucracy, and spent money on low-priority projects instead. The federal government has been wasting money instead of helping the economy. The big liberal states have continued spending rather than cutting jobs and salaries to align with tax revenues. All economic developments are occurring within this paradigm.
The State of Illinois has cracked. It’s really a bad idea to go to work for the government. The welfare state programs are underfunded both at the federal and state levels. When government workers get laid off, they naturally turn to the government for help. You need to break this sort of socialist dependency psychology to survive the crash. The government is the problem, not the solution. The government is supporting the wealthiest bankers, the biggest corporations, the illegal immigrants, and the most radical Marxists, not you. Liberal governments are the enemy of the people. Don’t make us explain this to you again. Declare your independence from government and move on to an honest future. You don’t need to waste any time on “reform” proposals and movements, just get away from the government whirlpool and don’t look back.

How is Britain progressing toward the police state? The takeover is more open in Britain, where the people know they are being taken over and the politicians are so brazen they don’t care who knows it. In the United States the same transfer of wealth to the banks and the same police state tracking systems are in place, but folks seem to like Obama and actually want more socialism. (more…)
