When helping the poor doesn't help
Further proof that liberals do more harm than good when they push their failed socialist agenda. From The Christian Science Monitor: In a new study, the International Monetary Fund takes aim at energy subsidies, a common practice by countries to help the poor or benefit consumers and industry. The costs far outweigh any benefits, especially for the poor, finds the IMF.

Rep. Joe Pitts: Obamacare Makes It Harder To Make Ends Meet
By Congressman Joe Pitts
In 2009, as health care reform was being considered in Congress, Gallup asked Americans what they wanted out of potential legislation. Eighty-three percent of Americans said that it was either extremely or very important that legislation make health insurance more affordable. When asked whether expanding coverage or making health care more affordable was more important, the majority of Americans said the priority should be bringing down costs.
According to many studies, Americans pay more for health care but get less. Health care keeps eating more and more into family budgets. While wages haven’t increased very much, health costs keep rising at or above inflation. In fact, for some Americans health insurance premiums could skyrocket in the coming years.
The Affordable Care Act might have been a good poll-tested name for the health reform bill, but the actual content of the bill has done little to actually make care more affordable. This week, the Energy and Commerce Committee released a joint report demonstrating how the law is increasing costs for young adults and middle class families.
The report compiles data from over 30 studies of how the law is affecting real people. Behind these statistics are real families. When government actions increase their health costs, they have to make painful decisions. For some that might mean cancelling a vacation but for others high medical costs eventually lead to bankruptcy. Very few Americans think they should be spending more of their paycheck on health insurance. Unfortunately, the new health law is making that decision for them.
Perhaps the most broken sector of the health insurance market is what is known as the individual market. The individual market is where people go when they don’t get insurance from an employer. Prior to the new health law, many Americans already found insurance in the individual market to be too expensive.
All of these plans were already regulated at the state level, but the new law adds a new layer of federal government regulation. This new layer of red tape has significant costs. In places like Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa and Ohio premiums in the individual market could double in the coming years. Here in Pennsylvania, the premium increase is expected to be 39 percent.
In addition to the added federal government red tape, the new law imposes a wide array of taxes on health insurance plans, drugs and medical devices. Over $165 billion in new taxes and fees are either here now or on their way soon.
The tax on medical devices is known as an excise tax, meaning that a company has to pay it even if it is not profitable. Excise taxes are usually only leveled on products that the government wants to discourage, like cigarettes and alcohol. This tax will discourage the development of new devices and make current medical devices more expensive for consumers.
Most importantly, purchasing health insurance is no longer optional. Families have to buy coverage or face the new IRS-imposed penalty. Many Americans will face a catch-22 where they have to buy insurance, but because of the greatly increased costs won’t be able to afford it. They will have to face the penalty and still go without care.
We can do better. For most people, looking at a health care bill is daunting. The costs don’t seem to make much sense, but they are trapped in a system. Under the new law, that feeling of entrapment will only grow. Health insurers are consolidating. Health systems are buying up individual practices and hospitals. Choices and competition are being reduced.
We need the government to give workers the same tax advantages for purchasing health care. They need to be able to own their insurance plan and take it with them.
We need reform that puts families and doctors in charge of health care decisions, not government bureaucrats or insurance companies. Right now, car insurance companies are fighting for your business. If you don’t like your insurer, it is easy to drop their coverage and go with someone else. Americans need that kind of control in health insurance. They are not getting it under the new law.

Exhibit A: Why Pa. should not legalize marijuana
Daylin Leach, a far-left state lawmaker in Pennsylvania, has introduced a bill to legalize marijuana for recreational use in Pennsylvania. He doesn't see any harm to making pot available to more people. In today's edition of The Pottstown Mercury, you can read about an 18-year-old driver under the influence of marijuana who struck and killed a 40-year--old mother of two who was jogging in Limerick, Pa. That Sen. Leach is reason enough why your bill to legalize drug use should never see the light of day.

Newspaper: Thorns to Obama for petty move of canceling White House tour
From the editorial page of The Pottstown Mercury:
THORNS to President Obama for announcing this week that he is closing the White House to public tours because of the sequestration. This is a petty and thinly-veiled strategy by Obama to put pressure on members of Congress, who arrange the popular tours of the White House for their constituents. Obama didn't get what he wanted in negotiations with Congress over spending cuts and tax hikes, so he's resorted to punishing school children and other tourists visiting Washington, D.C., in the coming months. "Due to staffing reductions resulting from the sequester, we regret to inform you that White House tours are canceled effective Saturday, March 9, until further notice," the administration informed House and Senate offices. "We very much regret having to take this action, particularly during the popular spring touring season." There's plenty of government spending to be cut in Washington, but shuttering the doors of the White House to the American people should not be on that list. Reports that the tours are run by volunteers and the cost of having extra security is minimal reinforce suspicion that Obama canceled the tours out of spite. It's another example of Obama's unpresidential behavior when he doesn't get his way.Roses to Albert Boscov, a retailing and community legend

THORNS to Democrats on the House budget-writing committee for accusing the Corbett administration of not doing enough to prepare for the possibility that Pennsylvania’s embattled voter-identification law will be enforced in this year’s general election. The lawmakers are questioning why there is no money for voter outreach in Corbett’s budget plan. Our question is why would money be set aside to explain a law that is not currently being implemented as it awaits a ruling by the courts.
