Stories Causing Atlas to Shrug, May 22, 2014 Edition

CBO: A family of 4 faces an additional 13% implicit tax from ObamaCare if it raises its income from $35,300 to $47,100.

There is now a fine for lying about income in ObamaCare applications. But 2 law professors supporting the law agree the Government won't enforce it.

The Administration just published a rule abandoning the fantasy of budget neutrality in ObamaCare's Risk Corridors ("Insurer Bailouts").

Federal taxpayers spent $4,633 per enrollee that signed up on the exchanges.

Bay Area Rapid Transit's New Rail Line to Oakland Airport Cost $29,000 Per Foot.

Across the country, in all demographics, Americans are exercising slightly more — and eating a lot more. That imbalance is what's behind an obesity crisis that's affecting pretty much everybody.
