GOP reaction to the economy

 

I pose this question to the Republican Party:

Suppose the U.S. economy were in the exact same position as it is now, but under John McCain or some other Republican president. Would you be complaining about a stagnant economy as you are under President Obama’s leadership?

If you’re honest with yourselves, the answer would be No. Why? Because had McCain won the 2008 election, the Republican Party would be jubilant over the state of our economy and would be trumpeting the remarkable job that was done to save this country from economic ruin.

  • Transparency for hospital pricing needed

    Focusing on treatment variations by hospital is, at best, misguided and at worst, a complete distraction from the real issue. We are a capitalist society and every provider should be free to price its own services.

  • K12 online learning provider compliant with law

    There was a serious case of selective reporting in the May 12 article, K12 Inc. struggled to comply with law. Writing about a complaint filed against online learning provider K12 Inc. by a school district, reporters selectively pulled quotes from a lengthy recorded meeting among K12 educators. Yet they excluded from the article the most significant and illuminating passages where K12 supervisors clearly instruct teachers to follow all state laws and direct that “no teacher should fill out anything that isn’t correct.”
