Congressman Kevin Brady has compiled the following chart, which vividly illustrates the bureaucratic empowerment that comes with Obamacare.
My name is Steve Pearce. I am running for Congress because I believe that prosperity is possible in New Mexico.
Washington is conducting a war on prosperity. We must repeal the destructive job-killing policies of higher taxes, bailouts to wall street and big business, over regulation and sky rocketing deficits.
My Goals:
Jobs
A dynamic, fast growing economy
Cut government spending
Limit the government that is taking our freedoms.
I will advance policies that empower small businesses here in New Mexico to create jobs.
Please look at my plans and join in the fight for New Mexico's families. Join me on Facebook and Twitter.
I am asking for your vote on November 2.
Prosperity is Possible.

I was making my way toward Las Cruces yesterday when I saw a long time friend along the highway, and stopped to visit with him and his wife. Tom and Pam are ranchers east of Mayhill. They have endured the rigors of ranching for decades in this very rural part of New Mexico.
Tom told me yesterday that government regulators had completely wiped out the sheep ranching business in New Mexico. The US Fish and Wildlife Service implemented new regulations that prohibit ranchers from controlling the population of nearby predators, such as mountain lions and coyotes. As a result, Tom and Pam have completely quit raising sheep. Just a year or two ago New Mexico had 20,000 sheep grown and marketed here. Now it is zero. The jobs are gone.
The revenue to the state is gone. The vitality of our nation’s economy is shrinking and prosperity is disappearing, because of our own government.

Harry Teague’s Healthcare Hypocrisy
Do As I Say, Not As I Do Mentality of a Typical Politician on Full Display
HOBBS, NM – In Tuesday’s Cibola Beacon, Congressman Harry Teague bragged, “after building a business, he worked to provide all of his employees with health insurance.”
He neglected to mention that he cut off his own employees’ health insurance last year right before Christmas, after taking a $3 million bonus.
In May, Politico ran a story noting “When he ran for Congress in 2008, businessman Harry Teague boasted that he provided health insurance for all of his employees back home in New Mexico…What Teague didn’t say at the time: At the very moment he was voting against the [healthcare] bill, his own companies were eliminating health care coverage for employees. “

An Argentine company opened Friday the country's first factory to make biodiesel from algae, hoping to use pond scum as a replacement for soy in making biodiesel as part of a push for renewable energy.
Argentina is the world's top exporter of soyoil, but using the edible oil to make fuel is controversial because it cuts into food supplies.
Oil extracted from algae is also seen as an attractive alternative to soyoil and other vegetable oils because it does not use land that could be used for food crops and can absorb carbon dioxide from power plants or factories.
The oil-extraction process also produces a protein-rich paste, which is edible.
"We're not competing with the food supply but generating food, at a low cost and helping the environment because algae grow fast and trap carbon dioxide," said Jorge Kaloustian, president of Oilfox S.A., the company that owns the plant northeast of Buenos Aires.

It was an $800 billion misadventure that will be wreaking havoc on the econ omy for years to come.
No, not the war in Iraq, where an American combat-troop presence officially comes to an end tomorrow.
We're talking about President Obama's economic-stimulus program.
Remember the stimulus? The miracle cure Obama said would boost the economy and save millions of jobs?
Well, the president's panacea turned out to be an $862 billion bottle of snake oil -- and it cost $100 billion more than the entire Iraq campaign to date.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the total Iraq tab comes to $709 billion this month, a costly engagement in terms of treasure.
But as Randall Hoven points out on the American Thinker Web site and in the nearby chart, the war made up just 3.2 percent of federal spending while the fight raged. Leave it to the feds to make $700 billion look like a drop in the ocean.
And it accounts for less than 15 percent of the overall deficit since it began in 2003.

FRESNO, Calif. — Vice President Joe Biden said this week that the Obama administration "hit the accelerator" toward spending $5 billion under the economic stimulus law to weatherize people's homes, create thousands of jobs, help consumers save money and put the nation on track for energy independence.
Yet the weatherization program the vice president highlighted in his visit Thursday to New Hampshire is widely considered among the least organized spending projects under the $814 billion economic stimulus law and has regularly been targeted for criticism of its slow progress by auditors and outsiders. Biden didn't hint much at its troubles.
Nearly 18 months since it started, the stimulus weatherization program has experienced spending delays, inefficiencies and mismanagement. In Biden's home state of Delaware, the entire program has been suspended since May, and last month federal auditors identified possible fraud.
