POTUS Humanizes Healthcare Debate

So he would have us to believe – to talk about provisions of the new law that will take effect on Thursday, six months after it became law, and highlight his argument that healthcare reform will help control the U.S. budget deficit.

Yes, but not about the provisions we couldn’t know about until the unread bill was voted then signed into law.

Such as the funded abortions (by us) to be performed in other countries? How about the 1099 forms businesses have to file for every single purchase between them and other businesses? There has to be more in there we have yet to hear about.

Right? How is the (yet to be hired) 16,000 IRS new hires (to enforce the healthcare payments by individuals) going to control the budget deficit?

UPDATE: Connecticut Health Insurers Rate Hike

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut requested a wide range of premium increases, which will take effect Oct. 1, to cover the costs of new benefits required by federal health reform. Anywhere from 0.5 percent to 22.9 percent, depending on the plan. Besides Anthem, the only other health insurer that has been approved thus far was Aetna, which requested an average 24.7 percent increase over last year for small-group HMO plans.

Remember folks, the Bush tax cuts have not been voted on yet (this year). If those cuts expire, our take home pay gets smaller. Soon.

UPDATE: As predicted. But, it’s even worse. Looks like the increases span from 19% to 47% !!!!

Feeling Our Pain

That’s what the Prez said alright.

Horse hockey.

Not the Change In Govt We Voted For

Thuggery. Not the term I would use. How about – lies, criminal, falsehoods, threats?

And trampling on First Amendment rights. To say the very, very least.

All about Obamacare, er, Healthscare. I mean, healthcare.

Gangsters? Chicago comes to mind. I wonder why. (not)

Wishful Thinking?

Perhaps. Or, it’s sheer hutzpah to say the Dems are not going to lose control in the House, as Steny Hoyer says.

Here’s my question to Rep. Hoyer. How’s the sand look under there when you open your eyes?

It’s A Record

Government records show the Obama Administration has increased the federal debt by $2.5260 trillion in his first 19 months in office, which is more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan.

Somehow, I don’t think I’d be proud of that if I were President.

Actually, I’m already mortified. Worst. President. Ever.

Tell Michael Moore Too

Castro has a message to our POTUS.

Marxism in Cuba isn’t, and hasn’t been, working.

Big fat surprise. (yawn)

Arrogance

Or is it hubris?

POTUS says he is opposed to extending the Bush tax cuts. That he opposes any compromise that would benefit the rich.

Who is the rich? At what monetary point is someone “rich”?

Let’s tick this off, okay?

$800B stimulus, Healthcare, Finance reform, another $50B (shh, it really IS a stimulus plan), creation of new govt agencies (ala Healthcare), creation of new govt jobs, needing 16,000 more IRS agents to monitor/enforce Healthcare rules and fines, spending us into a near $2T deficit in less than 2 years … unemployment near 10% nationally … let’s not forget that $113B that illegal aliens cost our economy nationally … (where is there any new, sustaining private enterprise jobs in all this? Wasn’t in Cash for Clunkers.)

Who is going to be “rich” when all this kicks in (tax cuts expiring and new taxes cuts away from your take home pay)? Is there going to be any small businesses left that can operate at all?

We used to be a nation where it was Liberty and Justice For All.

Now, the elite says it is Liberty For Just Us.

Feel happy that you are soon going to be paying your fair share? Spreading the wealth?

You know that feeling you are having right now?

Keep it. For next 9/14/10 and hold onto it until 11/2/10.

Be sure of your vote and who you intend to vote for. It is all we have left.

Another New Tidbit Found in Healthcare Bill

As delivered by the First Lady.

Prescriptions for Fat kids? Won’t be Xenical, will it? Get ready for lots of loads of wash to do.

Where’s the “do no harm” in this one?

Of all the @&$^##&R$ and @)$UY#*R.

Argh!
