During the big-spending Bush years, economic and fiscal people inside the Administration often would sympathize with my complaints about bad policy, but say that there was nothing they could do since all the big decisions were being made by the political types in the White House.
In other words, Karl Rove and his crew were the ones who helped encourage Bush to hurt the country for short-run political gain.
So you can imagine I’m reluctant to give favorable attention to anything associated with Rove, but this new video from one of his organizations is too good not to share. The Department of Health and Human Services has a video contest to sucker gullible young people into signing up for Obamacare, and here’s the satirical gem put together by Crossroads GPS.

In conclusion, let’s remember that young people are suffering for reasons other than Obamacare. Here’s a video from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation that looks at four examples of how Obamanomics is especially bad news for those under age 30.
How Big Government Undermines Your Future
Published on Jun 11, 2013
This mini-documentary from the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation highlights the devastating impact that big government has on America’s youth, who are ironically also its strongest champions.
Four major challenges facing today’s youth: 1) High youth unemployment, 2) Unreasonable healthcare burdens, 3) Poor returns from Social Security, and 4) burgeoning student loan debt. http://www.freedomandprosperity.org

Though, to be fair, everyone is suffering from the President’s statist policies. As shown by these charts from the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, the United States is enduring the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression.
I have put up lots of cartoons from Dan Mitchell’s blog before and they have got lots of hits before. Many of them have dealt with the economy, eternal unemployment benefits, socialism, Greece, welfare state or on gun control. Mitt Romney is probably the most liberal candidate the Republicans ever ran for President. Maybe it is good […]
Obamacare is a tragedy about to happen so why not just laugh!!! Obamanomics, as Captured by Cartoonists August 22, 2013 by Dan Mitchell As evidenced by my political cartoon contest, I’m a big fan of that form of satire.

_________ Is Obama acting like a dictator with his recent actions regarding the Obamacare Program? The Arbitrary Diktats of Generalissimo Obama August 16, 2013 by Dan Mitchell There’s an old joke that the definition of quandary is when your mother-in-law drives off a cliff in your new car.

Obamacare will self-destruct!!!! Question of the Week: Will Obamacare Collapse? July 14, 2013 by Dan Mitchell We have a very interesting question from a reader in Nebraska. Is Obamacare such a cluster-you-know-what that the law will self-destruct? Well, I’ve already explained why I’m optimistic about the possibility of turning Obamacare lemons into free-market lemonade. Simply stated, the law […]
Putting the government in charge of healthcare is pretty stupid!!! I have already pointed out how Obamacare will grow the size of government. Josef Stalin Would Have Admired the U.K.’s Government-Run Healthcare System June 29, 2013 by Dan Mitchell One of history’s worst butchers, Josef Stalin, is rumored to have said that, “The death of one man […]
If you to cut the size of government then you don’t add a program like Obamacare. It will grow government like nothing ever has in American history. The Obamacare Problem Isn’t Messaging, It’s Statism July 1, 2013 by Dan Mitchell The political elitists in Washington are worried that the American people are lukewarm – or even downright hostile – […]
When our government is spending over a trillion dollars they don’t have and then they put in another big government program then watch out. Costs will go through the roof because the government will run Obamacare about as good as it runs the post office. Sometimes things get so sad that you just have to […]
Expanding government is not right. Take a look at this article: APRIL 25, 2013 6:35PM ‘Why Indiana Shouldn’t Fall for Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion’ By MICHAEL F. CANNON SHARE My latest oped, in the Indy Star: Meanwhile, many [Medicaid] enrollees can’t even find a doctor. One-third of primary care physicians won’t take new Medicaid patients. Only 20 percent of […]
