The Myth of ObamaCare’s Affordability

I estimate that the ACA’s long-term impact will include about 3% less weekly employment, 3% fewer aggregate work hours, 2% less GDP and 2% less labor income. These effects will be visible and obvious by 2017, if not before. The employment and hours estimates are based on the combined amount of the law’s new taxes and disincentives and on historical research on the aggregate effects of each dollar of taxation. The GDP and income estimates reflect lower amounts of labor as well as the law’s effects on the productivity of each hour of labor.

This bill must be repealed & replaced.

Hansen: Need a Lyft? Good luck

And now, because of a staring contest between Lyft, its competitor Uber and the Public Service Commission, Lyft drivers like Ben are putting their pink mustaches in the trunk and clandestinely giving Omahans rides. Or, worse yet for Omaha, they have simply stopped driving altogether, at least until the Legislature acts to make ride-sharing services like Lyft and Uber legal.

I’ve taken this service.

It is a good & needed service in the Omaha Metro.

I hope it is successful.

The Omaha PSC seat is up for election this year.

I’ll be voting for John Seiler for PSC

The VA Scandal Isn’t Going Away – NationalJournal.com

Richard Griffin, the acting VA inspector general, told members of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee that his staff believes that no manipulation occurred in about a fourth of the facilities under investigation, but “on the other three-fourths, we’re pretty confident that it was knowingly and willingly happening, and we’re pursuing those.”
