This guy is my new hero. Given the chance to present in front of Obama at the National day of prayer breakfast he did not back down from the challenge. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, raised by his single mother, struggled academically throughout elementary school, before excelling in middle school and high school. Below are a few of his common sense highlights.
Famed Baltimore neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson addressed the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning on healthcare. Dr. Carson often criticized Obamacare and government intrusion in healthcare while President Obama sat in the audience. Dr. Carson encouraged a program where newborn babies are given health savings account as an alternative to Obamacare.
DR. CARSON: What we need to do is come up with something simple. And when I pick up my Bible, you know what I see? I see the fairest individual in the universe, God, and he's given us a system. It's called a tithe.
We don't necessarily have to do 10% but it's the principle. He didn't say if your crops fail, don't give me any tithe or if you have a bumper crop, give me triple tithe. So there must be something inherently fair about proportionality. You make $10 billion, you put in a billion. You make $10 you put in one. Of course you've got to get rid of the loopholes. Some people say, 'Well that's not fair because it doesn't hurt the guy who made $10 billion as much as the guy who made 10.' Where does it say you've got to hurt the guy? He just put a billion dollars in the pot. We don't need to hurt him. It's that kind of thinking that has resulted in 602 banks in the Cayman Islands. That money needs to be back here building our infrastructure and creating jobs.
###
DR. CARSON: Here's my solution: When a person is born, give him a birth certificate, an electronic medical record, and a health savings account to which money can be contributed -- pretax -- from the time you're born 'til the time you die. When you die, you can pass it on to your family members, so that when you're 85 years old and you got six diseases, you're not trying to spend up everything. You're happy to pass it on and there's nobody talking about death panels.
Number one. And also, for the people who were indigent who don't have any money we can make contributions to their HSA each month because we already have this huge pot of money. Instead of sending it to some bureaucracy, let's put it in their HSAs. Now they have some control over their own health care.

Dave....I saw this post, and I knew you had to be the author. I saw Dr. Carson on the Kudlow Report show tonight giving a speech on common sense approaches to taxes and health care while Obama sat a few feet away staring daggers at him. He would have my vote.

Dr. Carson spoke at one of our medical school graduations. He is an amazing person. He would get my vote.

that had to be the longest 27 minutes of obama's presidency. for those with ADD, it gets good around the 17 minute mark.

Very Accurate and inciteful. I read Dr. Carsons book years ago. Crazy how it is a simple practical idea!
And I think he is too smart to accept the Presidency!

He had that same look when Romney handed him his 'change' in the first debate.
With Romney, Huckabee, and Cain to choose from; we sure made our choice. In fact Cain is on WSB now since Boortz retired. The man knows his stuff and makes a lot of sense. Yesterday he talked about the old saying "some of us came here on the mayflower and some on slave boats, but now we're in the same boat". He used that to relate how taxes and regs are the modern chains.
Someone call for a do-over!

I enjoy listening to Herman in the mornings. Not quite as controversial as Boortz but still good radio!

Thanks,
