This is a great piece of legislation from our friends in South Dakota. Click here for the full article. Five South Dakota lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require any adult 21 or older to buy a firearm “sufficient to provide for their ordinary self-defense.” Obviously this is not going to (or even meant to)…

Obama administration argues in court: Individual health care mandate is a tax

By Steve McGough / July 21, 2010 /

Obamacare too important to allow midterm elections to destroy it

By Steve McGough / July 3, 2013 /

When I heard the Obama administration had unilaterally delayed an important milestone in the Affordable Health Care Act, I had to chuckle.

Trouble in paradise? Is this just the begnning of state and city blowback on the Nelson payoff. Hmmmm? Is it? The countries two best know Republican liberals are already pushing back against the Senate/ House/ Obama Health bill that they know will cost them plenty. Period.

The Obamacare & Economy Effect: Part-time employee hours being cut

By Steve McGough / September 12, 2013 /

It’s the economy, it’s company restructuring, it’s Obamacare. Companies are reducing the hours of part-time employees as a result of changing business conditions.
