Obamacare Already Benefitting The Economy

Ken O’Brien

Republicans have been proven completely wrong as the Affordable Care Act helped both personal income and spending increase in January.

On March 3rd The Wall Street Journal reported in an article titled” Obamacare Effects Account for Most of Income, Spending Increases”:
The Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature health law, is already boosting household income and spending.
The Commerce Department reported Monday that consumer spending rose a better-than-expected 0.4% and personal incomes climbed 0.3% in January. The new health-care law accounted for a big chunk of the increase on both                                                                      fronts.

Tomorrow Dies – Fair and Balanced

Kenneth M. O’Brien

I never cease to be amazed by the number of local residents to whom I talk who say that their sole source of information is FOX News.

The 18th movie in the James Bond series, released in 1997, was titled “Tomorrow Never Dies”.

In that film, the British super agent was up against a worldwide media mogul, Elliot Carver. It was widely recognized at the time that Carver was a parody of Australian, (now U. S. Citizen) Rupert Murdoch.

Now, I realize that for many who follow this site, I’ll be repeating what you already know. I hope, however, that there will be the outliers who investigate what I am saying and perhaps realize the extent to which they have been hoodwinked.
