A new island that’s appeared off the North Carolina coast is exciting water-loving locals and tourists alike. It’s being called Shelly Island. Visitors say it’s a great place to collect seashells. And thanks to the changing tides of the Atlantic Ocean, those enjoying Cape Hatteras’ Cape Point can now trek to this newly formed island. But, if you go, the park service is warning visitors not to swim out (use a flotation devices such as a paddle board or surfboards) because of the dangerous currents and riptides that helped form the massive sand bar.

One of the popular objections to the GOP proposals to reform health insurance markets is that the Affordable Care Act (aka “ObamaCare”) saved thousands of lives per year, and hence that tinkering with ObamaCare will literally kill lots of people. For example, Hillary Clinton tweeted out: Now to be sure, even if the claim were true, it still wouldn’t follow that coercive redistribution of wealth was morally justified.

With Illinois facing a Friday night deadline by which it has to come up with its first fiscal budget in three years or face a downgrade to junk resulting in what a policymaker called a “death spiral“, another mini drama is taking place in Connecticut, which is also facing big budget problems as wealthy residents, hedge funds and major corporations flee the state’s high taxes and its fiscal future gets murkier by the day. Just today, we reported that Aetna, the insurance giant founded in Hartford where it has been for the past 164 years, announced it would move its … Continue reading →
