POPSThe Raped and Ravaged "White" Children of Australia “When we reported this as kids, we were flogged to within an inch of our lives, locked up in dungeons and isolation cells,” said Braydon, who received a cash settlement from the Salvation Army for the abuse and is suing the Victoria state government for neglect.

POPSIn Denial About Financial Reform Also see Dan Indiviglio over at The Atlantic: http://business.theatlantic.com/2009/09/why_is_washington_ignoring_the_real_causes_of_the_crisis.php The danger of putting a lawyer in charge of something like this is, in my opinion, best exemplified by Neil Barofsky, the attorney they put in front of TARP oversight. Barofsky has used his pulpit to put out some really meaningless and misleading numbers. We need real information from these guys, not noisy innumerate numbers.

POPSVoters Nix Health Care Proposals By: Michael Barone
in stirring up opposition to what they have made their prime public policy initiative. As Quinnipiac’s Peter Brown puts it, “President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Congress appear to be losing the public relations war over their plan to revamp the nation’s health care system.” As former Bush White House economics adviser Keith Hennessey points out, a key feature of Democratic insurance proposals"community ratings (insurance premiums not based on health status)"doesn’t work without an individual mandate (requiring people to buy insurance). And that is opposed, Quinnipiac tells us, by 68% of voters. And, as Hennessey also points out and as the Congressional Budget Office has certified, those subsidies which so many voters favor would produce those budget deficits which a large majority of voters oppose, with their opposition trumping any desire to see a health care bill passed. So now we have the spectacle of the White House trying to demonize the health insurers

POPSBend It Like Barack - Into The Red Despite Barack Obama’s promises, the cost-saving techniques in ObamaCare only offset about a quarter of all the new spending in the plan by 2019. The offsetting tax increase, Rangel’s surtax, will only generate $87 billion a year by that time, slightly more than half of the next spending increase " and note that revenues almost flatline while spending increases at a much higher rate. What does that mean for the second decade? Click on the image if you need a better look at the data. By the time we get to 2029, ObamaCare will run a $205 billion deficit in that year alone, almost as much as the CBO estimate of the program’s entire first decade. It’s a devastating analysis of ObamaCare, one which Hennessey calls a TKO of the proposal. These charts certainly make that case. Be sure to read all of his analysis. Curl up in front of a fire. In fact, throw John Conyers’ copy on the logs, since he won’t be reading it before he votes.

POPSGay Kids in the Bronx Need Lots of Help Although this report describes the problems gay kids have in the Bronx, as well as elsewhere, I still see this as hopeful. Let's face it, just a few years ago, a story like this would never have made the news. Just as seeing presidential candidates having a forum-style debate on a gay cable TV channel would have been laughed at. Progress is happening right before our eyes. As a gay man, I am very proud of the advancements we have made in so few years over all.
