Arizona - Effective Legislation In Action

The mainstream media is full of hand-wringing stories today with one true unifying headline:

Illegal Aliens Flee Arizona Ahead of Immigration Law Enforcement

Apparently the yardsale bargain hunters were having a field day in Arizona last weekend as the illegals sold off their goods ahead of their moves to sanctuary cities. You will not see a quote from one of them saying they are going back to Mexico. They do say "We have no alternative. They [Arizona] have us cornered."

Of course when Americans are cornered where they lawfully reside, they stand and fight. See: the Alamo.

The MSM also likes to point out that legal residents are leaving Arizona, too. That's because they are harboring illegals, which is a crime, too. Again, mission accomplished. Not only is Arizona ridding itself of illegal aliens, it is ridding itself of those that harbor and support the illegals.

In short, the Arizona illegal immigrant law may be the most effective piece of legislation passed by anyone, anywhere.

The Inevitable Result of Health Care Centralization

Rationing. It is all a government can do when consumers are not allowed to self-ration based on disposable income and evaluations of actual need.

Headline: NHS bosses have drawn up secret plans for sweeping cuts to services, with restrictions on the most basic treatments for the sick and injured.

Privatize or die. Literally.

GM Continues to Rob Taxpayers

GM announced today that it is taking $3,100,000,000.00 of the taxpayer money it has lying around (and lied about repaying "in full") and using this taxpayer money for purchasing a sub-prime lending firm. Recall that GM jettisoned their own dying credit arm GMAC (now the ironically named "Ally" Bank) into the TARP bailout fund.

The Obama Administration has used your hard-earned tax dollars to enrich his union enablers the UAW as surely as if he personally put their hands in your wallet. While GM is still overbloated and losing money, they are spending your tax dollars to take a profitable business down with them.

In what world turned upside down does this make any economic, financial, business, or political sense?
