Iowa Obamacare Rates Increase 57%

I don’t know how anyone can have faith in the federal government after this Obamacare fiasco.  The people who created this mess are openly advocating for a single-payer system.  If I were them I would cower in shame for imposing this stupidity on the American people.  But I’m not a sociopath, I’ll admit my mistakes especially if they are as monumental as destroying our healthcare system.  Let’s take a look at what is happening in Iowa.  Fox News reported the following:

In one of the biggest 2018 premium hikes sought to date, Iowa’s only ObamaCare insurer is looking for a 57 percent rate increase – that’s 13 percent more than they asked for just two months earlier.

It’s a troubling trend that’s been spreading across the country as jittery insurers stay stuck in a holding pattern waiting on Congress and the Trump administration to decide the fate of the Affordable Care Act.

Democrats created these cartels in defiance of our antitrust laws and now these insurance companies are looking for a bailout.  This outrage alone should deny the Democratic party the presidency and majorities in Congress for generations to come.

Gov. Scott Walker Wows Iowans

There are only a handful of politicians who I believe have the fortitude and record to take on the entrenched self interest and good ole boys network in Washington D.C.  

Governor Scott Walker is one of them.  Not only did he defeat progressives in a blue state, he did so three times without compromising his conservative principles.  And believe me, people respect a man who stands for what he believes in.

Here is an excerpt from the Hill.com on Governor Scott Walker’s reception in Iowa:

 The Wisconsin governor, in rolled-up shirtsleeves, paced the stage as he blasted big government and touted a long list of conservative reforms he's pushed through in blue Wisconsin.

The governor also showed a rhetorical flourish that's largely been absent from his previous campaigns, drawing the crowd to its feet multiple times.

"There's a reason we take a day off to celebrate the 4th of July and not the 15th of April," he said, almost yelling as his voice grew hoarse. "Because in America we value our independence from the government, not our dependence on it."

And then this:

When he said he won reelection as Milwaukee County Executive in an area where President Obama won by a two-to-one margin, some in the audience gasped.

 "If you get the job done the voters will actually stand up with you," he said before contrasting his record with Washington's deadlock.

Yes, voters will stand with a principled, conservative politician who practices what he preaches.  It’s too bad we didn’t have one in the past two presidential elections

Joe Scarborough: Iowans Are Stupid and Irrelevant

I don’t know what happened to Joe Scarborough. Has he always been a loopy leftist, or did MSNBC turn him into an Obama Zombie?

In the above video, he declares that if Michele Bachmann wins the Iowa straw poll, the hawkeye state has rendered itself irrelevant and stupid.

Joe is an authority on those two qualities. He works for MSNBC.

It's Beat Whitey Night in Iowa

I believe Al Sharpton was prowling in the shadows with a bucket of shit.
