We all know what it is. Continuing to perpetrate the same activity, yet hoping – again and again – that this time, the outcome will be different. Does anyone really believe what Congress is telling us about the costs of……

Any hope the SCOTUS declares this oppressive POS unconstitutional?

Not for a long time. They’d have to reverse lots of post-Depression rulings in order to do so.

A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon is adds up to real money. Printing more greenbacks won’t solve the problem; ink is not free. To heck with the gold standard, we should base our currency on the ink supply.

Keep hammering Dr. Z. We need to stop the Donks in their tracks.

The New Weimar Republic, 100 years after the first one. And we know what THAT led to…

Bush set the stage for Obama by screwing up the last eight years of his administration.

Well said. I think as a writer (and like other artists and professionals) becomes more popoular (and older) a couple things have a tendency to happen: (1) his or her body of work expands (and the chances for publication of an errant or weak piece increases) and (2) he or she often succumb to the temptation to appear in unfamiliar venues and with less depth of knolwedge concerning underlying facts, so the writer defers more to experts who set conventional wisdom with an unstated agenda unlike the writer’s own agenda.

thank you for the concise figures
Right now i am arguing with an idiot who claims that
all of the costs will be paid for in savings from the insurance companies..

I tried to point out that since obamamination care
run by the pelosi nazi party demands that 96% of all americans will be FORCED into the BORG health plan..

Since that effectivly puts 96% of all health care insurance providers out of business..

where will the supposed savings come from?

I sitll cant get through to this idiot.

This is the actual thread..

sheesh are all liberals ust drugged out pot smoking gays?

I have lost my trust in the people who have been elected “by the people” to run this country of and by the Constitution. ALL of them.

I will fight them with my voice and vote, but I feel as if I am in the minority.

I hope the country has awoken from their fantasy slumber.
It is all I have to hold on to.

“Take two aspirin and read Doc Zero in the morning.”

Best advice I’ve heard all day.

I recommend HA and the Doc to everyone I run across who expresses even a hint of understanding of today’s issues.

Mr_Magoo

Same here.

Maybe this time…
Maybe the bill passed by the House on
Saturday night will stay within its cost projections. Of course, you
have several cost projections to choose from. The Democrats’ cost
claims are all ridiculous lies, designed……

Time,to re-introduce,

the phrase,

I Hope the President Fails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not quite the last.

Actually, Newt is a good example of how hard it is to kill an entitlement or a department. He wanted to let the Health Care Finance Administration “die on the vine” by decentralizing through Medical Savings Accounts, etc. He was called a Granny-killer, and he wasn’t even proposing Obama’s Life and Death Panels (after all, asometimes they do decide you can live).

Theoretically, yes, you can repeal a law or close an agency–but it’s tough. The Dept. of Education was a Carter gift to unions, but we couldn’t close it. We couldn’t even close the NEA for all their rank idiocy.

The one success was Welfare Reform. But that was repealed in Porkulus, giving states incentives to sign up as many people as possible again.

Better kill this monster in the Senate.

Agree.
We are at war for our freedom and nation.

Procedurally, yes it can be overcome’ Pratically, once a certain portion of the “leech” population (who can vote) starts to get an “entitlement” — it will never be repealed!

We will be spent $$$ into oblivion.
The progressives will keep chipping away at the constitution ’til it’s all gone. Listen to Reagan’s ‘64 speech — they were trying it then! He sounds like he’s opposing Obama/Pelosi! They will never give up —

Look at the CNN, MSNBC, CBS websites — 90% are pro-Obama, pro-this health care take over! We are NOT winning! We are talking tom ourselves here!

The Senate WILL pass it all, with “government option” (=takeover!)

AND most of the people will be happy and by 2010 they will forget!

I see what you’re saying, however, the crap bill doesn’t go into effect until 2013 if passed. To even get to that point, the Senate has to pass their version; the house and senate then have to get together and agree on 1 life sucking, liberty killing bill; then each have to vote again. I’ve been wrong before, but I don’t think it can get to the final step before the primaries next spring, which can and should be very telling to the brainless leadership currently in office.

I do agree that once an entitlement is set in place it is hard to repeal, but again the entitlements won’t go into effect before a new President is elected, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to not implement that which hasn’t happened.

I do disagree that we’re talking to ourselves. The numbers of those who feel disenfranchised by this administration and it’s minions is growing. Look how various groups have grown since the first tea party in April. Sure it seems like we’re all online complaining to each other, but there are good conservative people out there running for political office, many on a local level, but several that I’m aware of running for state and federal positions. Even though he didn’t quite make it, Doug Hoffman did a pretty good job coming out of nowhere basically. We’ve loads of time to work with those who will take that leap to take our country back. We (all of us) have to get out there and work for, campaign for, support financially those willing to come forward.

It’s not over yet. I personally refuse to sit back and take this. And I don’t think we’re going to forget by 2010. Just my humble opinion.
