I believe the government is missing something more at the core of the healthcare debate than just reform; this country’s distrust of our elected officials.
How can anyone with half of a brain think that our government isn’t going to drop the ball yet again. Let’s review the several ways that our government has earned our distrust. First Bailout Bill was a 4 page document that basically gave banks and every other corporate giant money to spend on themselves, despite the warnings that our economic lives are in danger. The Second Bailout Bill, under Obama, which was suppose to be more transparent and used exclusively to revive our dying economy, according the Barney Frank. Yet months later nobody knows where the money is, and Chris Dodd had to cover Geithner and Obama’sass about the AIG bonuses, which weren’t suppose to be in the bill. Billions of dollars being wasted subsidizing recycling centers which cause more pollution and cost more to run, the only worthwhile thing to recycle is aluminum cans.
WMD, lies; Iraqi Freedom, lies; Nancy Pelosi not knowing about the extent of torture; lies. I can go on and on. So when the topic of healthcare reform is brought up, and we hear that there are literally hundreds of renditions of this bill, all packed with worthless pork and double talking, why would the citizens of this great country protest, if not for protest sake.
So Washington, D.C., sleep well in the beds that you’ve made for yourselves. Nobody trusts you anymore.
So, now it’s “un-American” to speak your mind. This seems to be the new motto of Nancy Pelosi and her spend happy, make the middle class and rich pay for everything, band of incompetent assholes.
Given the fact that her party, the Democrats, master the art of chaos by volume, she should be flattered….you know, imitation is the highest form of flattery.
“These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views - but of the facts themselves,” said Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland. “Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.” No, it failed because there is no way in hell that this type of program will work. It will only be a drain on our economy and nobody will ever get an upgrade in their health coverage.
So, once again the most worthless human on the planet, Nancy Pelosi, opens her mouth only to show the entire world that she’s a complete asshole.
Ok, who with an IQ of over 70 is really surprised that President Obama has plans on raising taxes on the middle class?
After already masking taxes on the lower and middle class with his tobacco tax, the two classes that smoke the most, he and his tax happy left-wing clowns in D.C. are looking at taxing trans fats, soft drinks, beer, wine, and so on. Of course, this will not get the job done completely so…..
Here comes a tax hike on the middle class. Wow, BIIIIIGGGG surprise there Mr. President. Those Americans who blindly drank the Kool Aid you were pouring during the campaign are now going the experience the sin of your overspending. Get ready middle class, we are in for a financial butt pounding.
Of course Timothy Geithner (whose name alone makes me impulsively kick the cat), has a reasonable explanation that should clear the The Chosen One from any responsibility of lying. “We have to bring these deficits down very dramatically. And that’s going to require some very hard choices.” But at least we have that stimulus package creating jobs and…..wait, where the hell is all that money again????
It gives me very little pleasure for me and my cohorts who knew this was coming to gloat in our “I told you so’s” because it’s so damn painful to have to pay our way out of Obama reckless spending. His inexperience is blinding and somehow everything he’s touched so far has turned to shit, at least on the economic front.
But, I seek comfort in the fact that this could be all a bad dream and I’m going to wake up with a smart, EXPERIENCE, president running the show. I just can’t believe my alarm clock didn’t go off yet….what’s taking it so long to go off?
As if the barbarism of Islamic law needed more illumination, reports are surfacing that members of Iran’s feared Basij militia forcibly marry virgin female prisoners the night before scheduled executions, raping their new ”wives” and making it religiously acceptable to execute them.
This is yet another story that you won’t see on CNN, nor will you hear feminist or civil rights groups condemn these actions because it doesn’t
fit their political agenda. Read more
It’s happened; President Obama has successfully vilified the rich and well-to-do. Who cares if they struggled, went to school, worked their asses off and earned what they got, his message is clear: Rich people = Republicans and Republicans = Evil People. Therefore, logically speaking, the rich should pay for everything because they are bloodthirsty savages who rape and pillage our country for their own personal gain.
Before I continue, I am NOT a rich white guy. I am a middle class white guy who grew up in a lower middle class family and put himself through school. Now I get to watch as the entire country has “I hate people who have the means to help themselves” syndrome thanks for Obama’s campaign of “rich people have the money let them foot the bill”.
First off, lets dispel the myth that the more you make the less you pay in taxes. I don’t know where the hell this came from but the more you make the higher your tax percentage goes up and the more the rich pay in taxes. If the rich did pay less of a percentage in taxes, than why would the democrats be so hell bent of NOT having a flat tax.
President Obama, after achieving a “Hate The Rich” mentality, has started writing checks full well knowing that the most prosperous will foot the bill. Cash for Clunkers is disguised as a way to help the American car industry, and it may do so, but where do you think that money is coming from? The government will turn around and have to find money for the soon to be $3 billion dollar legislative bill. Where is the health care reform money come from? Who is going to pay for the February spending..err…stimulus bill that totaled over $800 billion? BTW, where the hell are all the shovels we were suppose to see and jobs that were suppose to be created. Oh yeah, in AIG’s pocket thanks for Chris Dodd, Tim Geithner, and President Obama.
This country better wake the hell up and realize that spending money and taxing those who are in a better financial situation is stupid, irresponsible, and yes, UNAMERICAN.
President Abraham Lincoln said it best:
- You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
- You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
- You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
- You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
- You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
- You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence.
- You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
