I’ve had this thought in the past. Federal and state mandates have put tremendous pressure on Insurance companies. Hospital and death benefit claims are squeezing them hard. What that’s the point?

Central Planning
Notable Quote- information, information, information
It is because a modern economy is so complex that nobody can know all the facts that it could not effectively be guided by a central plan but must be conducted on the basis of decentralization of decisions.
Notable Quote – Nathan Rosenberg
Capitalism has provided multiple sources of decision-making and initiative, strong incentives for proceeding one step at a time, and the possibility for drawing upon a wide range of human potential – all valuable features of activities that are carried out in an environment of high uncertainty.
It’s a Curious Question – Do You Know the Answer? I think I do!
It has long been our policy to come to the aid of women. Even those taken in by a party (the Democrats) that goes out of its way to kill them before they can take a breath or just after (abortion), puts them at risk (anti-gun and bathroom bills), and denies them victory (men playing women’s sports).

S.3307 The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act…Guess Who Voted for It?
S.3307 (2010) is the legislation that empowered the Feds to regulate local school lunches. It is the regulation that is driving up the cost of school lunches by law because the law demands parity of price regardless of cost. It is the law that limits the number of calories and other nutritional elements to a national standard, regardless of a student’s size or activity level. It is the law that limits menu choices to those defined by the central government, choices kids are rejecting in large numbers, resulting in food being wasted. (Food that costs more because of the law.)
Kids are hungry. High School Athletes are under-nourished. They don’t like or want the food being forced on them. Black markets are forming to fill the need. And food is being wasted.
Let’s face it, Hungry kids do not make good students. This law is a turd sandwich.
So who among the New Hampshire Delegation voted for this crappy central planning nightmare? How about all of them.
