This Is Not the America I Knew

North Dallas 30,

I didn’t expect free healthcare, just an easier system in which to get it.

1.There have always been tax hits for cashing in retirement before age 65 or so, and I expect nothing else. This isn’t a new Obama thing.

2. 2.5% would be a dream. Promise?

3. I wouldn’t get employees with what I have in mind, but 5% still sounds like a dream based on what my old employers were paying. Promise?

4. 5% for over $500K? Does the punishment also include the Comfy Chair?

5. Recordskeeping? Oh noes! It’s like I’d have to be a grownup!

6. I can live with that.

I guess I misremembered being lied to, as I have no capacity to remember something that didn’t happen. Can you tell me when I was promised free healthcare, since I only remember that nonsense coming from the Republicans who insist that emergency rooms are there for everyone. And even those bozos don’t say their free unless I’m here illegally, under some system where such costs are paid for using golden unicorn dung. ... See all content Hide content

You just proved you know nothing about small business; Small business is what’s going to be hit the hardest by Obamacare, and all else Obama.

Try reading some news that’s not all liberal and blowing smoke up your rear.

1. Mike Scarborough:

Some sort of weeding out of the clueless and sub-human is in order. Sub-human as in an amoeba-level survival impulse that propels people to vote for whatever program offers 15 seconds of self-preservation as opposed to 15 years of self-development. If we can’t require an extremely basic test in Civics and Economics to register to vote, perhaps we could require it to graduate high school. ... See all content Hide content

If I get unemployed but have health insurance, I’ll cash in my retirement savings and pension and go into business for myself.

Also, Cybergeezer, I don’t see a direct comparison between population and the economy. “U R NUTZ” indeedy. Plus, the one-sixth of the economy isn’t the private insurance portion, especially when so many are already working for government or getting government health insurance (the elderly, disabled, some children, government workers, families of government workers, the military, et cetera,) will continue to get coverage and pay for it while millions more will be entering the system using federal funding to pay for private plans. Sounds less like a portion of the economy going poof! than a portion of the economy getting further entwined in our lives.

We both think that’s bad, but for very different reasons. ... See all content Hide content

Wonder what the unemployment numbers are going to look like when 1/6 of the nation’s economy goes toes up?

Nov 7, 2009 – 11:40 pm

That translates to 50,434,890 unemployed, or an unemployment rate more than 17%.

There was a time when America had a liberal and a conservative party. Now we have 2 progressive/left wing parties. both pushing TARP/Stimulus aka Marxist solutions. Not the proven solutions you talk about. No one but Palin supports less government and a top tax rate of 28%. Once more for clarity *no one but Sarah believes what you say!* We’ve com a long way the last 9 years. The wrong way

Hardly any time debating this? Try four months, and years and decades before that. The idea that there was going to be a vote was announced on Wednesday, there was a march against it on Friday, and it’s not like this was a weekend surprise. Plus, what was going to happen to stop it, some calls to C-Span?

The Republican act is getting tiresome: “I object” time a thousand while other Congressmen are speaking, John Shadegg doing a ventriloquist act with a staffer’s baby (I think the baby should have been dressed up like Charlie McCarthy,) and the nonsense about how big the bill was. Until this week, the Republican bill had zero pages.

This bill is quite sucky, but it has just enough support to pass while protecting some Democratic Congressmen from strong opposition expected in some districts. Passage was nearly a sure thing, the only question was who would draw the short straws and give their opponent an opportunity to use an aye vote against them. ... See all content Hide content
