I am writing to express my strong opposition to any healthcare "reform" legislation that inflates the federal deficit and national debt even further, imposes new taxes and mandates on individuals and businesses during this economic recession, and includes a government-run plan that would ultimately crowd out the private insurance market.

With our nation facing a $1.8 trillion deficit this year and a national debt that is expected to nearly double from $11.4 trillion today to almost $21 trillion over the next 10 years, we simply can't afford a new $1 trillion-plus healthcare program.

What's more, the higher taxes and costly mandates on individuals and businesses that Congress is proposing to pay for this new program could not come at a worse time with families struggling to make ends meet and the national unemployment rate approaching double digits.

But perhaps worst of all, a government-run option that would expand the federal bureaucracy and compete with private insurance plans will only move this country down the slippery slope of a single-payer, socialized healthcare system. Such a system would restrict my choice of doctors, treatments, and medicines and erode the quality of care that my family and I receive.

A better way to expand coverage for the uninsured while preserving the high quality of healthcare we enjoy as Americans would be to enact meaningful tort reform to curb frivolous medical malpractice lawsuits that drive up costs. There are also numerous free-market proposals, such as providing tax credits for purchasing private insurance coverage, that would reduce the ranks of the uninsured.

Again, I urge you to reject any healthcare legislation that burdens taxpayers and our economy, expands the federal bureaucracy, and restricts my choice of doctors, treatments, and medicines.

Racist Obama Supporters Continue to Harass This Blog

Barack Obama is the most divisive, ugliest and most racist president in recent decades. His supporters continue to attack me through the comments section of this blog. I just rejected a comment that called me a "white racist pig".

The person who wrote the comment felt that because Mr. Obama is black that he ought not to be criticized and that anyone who criticizes him is a racist. That is a racist claim.

Barack Obama is a con man, a liar who pretends to help the poor but stuffs his back pockets with money and supports Wall Street.

My great grandparents were killed in southern Poland in the holocaust. My paternal great-great grandfather had his index finger chopped off by the Czar. I don't seek sympathy, and I am sick of the Democrats' bulls*it racism.

My Interview with Paul Babiak Garners Praise

My July 23 article in the AI-CPA Career Insider has received positive feedback, according to the editor, Sukanya Mitra.

Sukanya writes:

>"I have received several reader ratings today raving about your article in yesterday’s ENL. Here’s a reader comment that I thought you’d appreciate...Thank you again for the great articles."

>>"This article was amazing, I am a safety director, who has a manager of a department that fits so perfectly into this article. This will help me deal with him.

>>"Thanks."

The article begins:

>"Dr. Paul Babiak is president of HRBackOffice and co-author with Dr. Robert D. Hare of Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work, an important book about psychopaths in the workplace. Within the last ten years, two series of scandals have wracked American industry. In 2001, Enron, Arthur Andersen and a familiar, contemporaneous litany led to passage of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. Only seven years later Wall Street has been immersed in wave of derivatives-related failures. Although the scandals and failures have several causes, ethical lapses that may be addressed through improved human resource management play a role.

I interviewed Dr. Babiak via telephone at his upstate New York office.

ML: Dr. Babiak, how do you define the term psychopath?

Babiak: When one first meets psychopaths they are likeable, verbally fluent and charming. They easily build rapport and people trust them. But, underneath this façade, they’re manipulative liars. They can create multiple masks or personas that they use to maintain relationships with their victims. They are opportunistic, parasitic predators. Their opportunism has a number of motivations: money, sex and power, for example.

Reader Complains of Obama Bots Sabotaging This Blog

Famed blogger Doug Ross recommends:

>Probably an Internet Explorer issue. Would recommend the Firefox browser for that person...

With all due respect to Bill Gates, I have been using Mozilla Firefox (download for free here) because Facebook loads much, much better with it. It is a difference of an order of magnitude. Microsoft is going to have to work hard to catch up.

Does anyone have a similar problem?

>Mr. Langbert,
I've been closely following the Obama ineligibility issue for quite awhile and I'm now finally writing to inform you -- although you may be aware of it already -- that your blog is often (frustratingly) inaccessible.

What happens is that I click on your blogspot in my Favorites list and am taken to it. However, after a mere few seconds a small window then pops up stating that the web page is not accessible. I then literally have to click OK, then close the entire window and open a fresh window to keep surfing the web. If I try to just open a new tab I am unable to do so; as mentioned, I have to close the window with your front page and then open a fresh new window.

A moment ago I was able to access your blog and this didn't happen (it does happen more times than not) and so took the opportunity to search for your email address so that I could inform you of this situation.

Has anyone else written to you about this? The exact same thing, I believe, used to happen when I would access Orly Taitz's old website (but no longer occurs with her new website.)

Take care and please continue your efforts in trying to get to the truth about Obama.
