A Snapshot of a Demographic Time Bomb
First, some stipulations: I’m not a Catholic; I oppose abortion-yes, even in cases of rape and incest-and also oppose contraceptive methods that are potentially abortifacient. Those should be criminalized; Aside from (2), I have no concern for micromanaging the family planning choices that husbands and wives make. That means any contraceptive method that does not […]
Health Insurance Getting Dropped: a Real-Life, Small Business Example
KM-a friend of mine and Cubbie’s-is a physician in Central Kentucky. Here is her response to my recent post: Here is an example for you… I am a small business owner (8 employees plus myself) who has provided group health insurance since opening my business. Six of those employees were covered by health insurance and […]
If You Lose Your Health Insurance
The way ObamaCare is working, it’s quite possible that a third of Americans who currently HAVE health insurance may lose it. This includes people who had employer-funded coverage who stand to get dropped, as well as those who have private plans that are no-longer in compliance and who now must sign up for one of […]
Obama Betrays the Good Faith of Americans, Part 2
First, there was Benghazi. Two retired Navy SEALs put in a Medal of Honor-caliber performance; an Ambassador called desperately for help; when Gen. Carter Ham tried to do his part to send in the help-as a military man, he understands the “leave no man behind” ethos-he was forcibly relieved of duty. Four men died. They […]
The Real Question: Does it Even Matter?
CBS News is reporting record lows for President Obama’s approval rating as well as overwhelming lack of support for ObamaCare by the American public. Those approval numbers are well-deserved, as ObamaCare has been a complete and utter disaster. While the failures of the website have been nothing short of catastrophic, they pale in comparison to […]
Special Olympics
My daughter went to Special Olympics basketball practice. Everytime I go to a Special Olympics practice, my heart weeps. They had high school students, being supervised by adults, working one-on-one with these kids. Some of the students had obviously done this before; some were new. As a Mom of a special needs child, my heart […]
The Education Bubble…Is She About to Go Pop?
At first glance, the cracks seem to be forming. In the fall of 2012, published tuition and fees for in-state students at four-year U.S. public schools rose just 2.9 percent from a year earlier, the smallest increase in 33 years, the College Board reported. At private schools, published prices rose 3.8 percent, lower than the […]
Nanny?
I took my daughter back to the dentist today. When I checked her in I had to fill out a little form and sign. “This is so we know who’s bringing her in for her appointment,” the receptionist said to me. I must have had a quizzical look on my face because she added, “You […]
Quiverfull Takes it On the Chin
However, I do find Ingersoll’s take on the scandal to be a bit overblown. More later.
What We Have; When We Can
December 1, 2013 Ame News/Opinion, 0
When I was growing up, we had very little during those many years my dad was starting and growing his own business. He did well, had a successful career, and recently sold his business and retired, making a pretty buck, or many. But I still remember the days when I wore the cheapest of clothes […]
