Have you seen the movie 2012 starring John Cusack? Not me. I don’t need to see a movie that’ll further depress me until the 2012 presidential election… But here’s the thing: American is drowning in debt, and Americans will drown in taxes. Very soon. Like next year, if members of Congress do nothing. The Bush [...]
Greece required to privatize health care to get bailout
The recent volatility in world stock markets not only show how regional economies are intertwined today, but also how tattered some of the E.U. economies are. Today it is Greece, but anxiety over Portugal and Spain has yet to be calmed. In fact, the bailout for Greece from other European nations failed to inject confidence [...]
CBO: ObamaCare costs way more
The CBO now says that health care reform would cost more — a lot more. Like $115 billion more over 10 years. And it’s barely three months since ObamaCare became law. Didn’t the Democrats promise a deficit neutral solution and lowering costs? How is Congress going to offset the additional $115 billion cost projection? That [...]
Republicans retreat from repealing ObamaCare
It appears that the Republicans were fairly confident that ObamaCare wouldn’t have passed the House and was caught off guard by the bill’s passage of 219-212. Oooops, like I’d posted, don’t underestimate the president. Originally the GOP’s strategy was to focus on efforts to repeal the law, which to this day is still as unpopular [...]
Never underestimate Obama
Well, ObamaCare was signed into law March 23, 2010. What previous presidential Democrats couldn’t accomplish was finally realized by a young president not even halfway into his term, a president who rose from the ranks of community activist, U.S. senator, and into the Oval Office. And what’s more intriguing is the fact that he and [...]
Democrats to sneak in ‘doc fix’ later
The Democrats are disgustingly sneaky in their politics… In order to make the health care bill more acceptable to doctors and to appear more deficit neutral in CBO scoring, the Democrats have a plan to put back the “doc fix” later — after passage of the overall reform bill. Politico has obtained a memo exclusively [...]
Landmark Legal Foundation already prepared to fight ObamaCare in court
Way to go, Mark Levin and the organization he heads! Getting ready for a legal battle: (LEESBURG, VA, MARCH 17, 2010)…Mark R. Levin, president of Landmark Legal Foundation, today issued a warning to the leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives about the possible use of the so-called “deem and pass,” “self-executing,” or “Slaughter Rule” [...]
Stupak needs our encouragement
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) has led before and now leads a group of moderate Democrats to oppose the current health care reform bill unless there’s changes in the abortion related language. One can only imagine the pressure he’s getting from the White House and Democrat leaders. In essence, nobody would want to be in his [...]
“Slaughter Rule” massacres legislative process
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) doesn’t have the votes to pass the Senate health care bill in the House, so she’s instructed Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), chair of the House Rules Committee, to be creative to circumvent the legislative process we know very well — voting. Yes, the wuss Democrats are afraid of being accountable [...]
A nuclear winter to follow a Nuclear Option
The liberal fanatic elitists in Congress are close to pulling the trigger on the Nuclear Option, but will they be ready for the fallout? Before the Democrats trigger their Nuclear option, they should review their college physics text books one last time and realize that at it’s essence the Nuclear option, like the bomb it [...]
Stupak stands firm
Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) deserves credit for sticking to his pro-life principles and uniting a group — the “Stupak Dozen” — of pro-life Democrats to oppose the health care bill. I can only imagine the pressure he and his group are feeling coming from their constituents, their party leaders, the White House, the liberals, and [...]
Reid to McConnell: Game on, reconciliation time!
Well, it’s going to happen. Sen. Hary Reid (D-NV) sent a letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) with plans to move forward with the health care reform bill without any GOP support and without the backing of most Americans. This is what our Congress is capable of these days. Remember this when November comes. Share [...]
Pelosi shows her elitist side
Do you want evidence of Nancy Pelosi’s crazy, progressive, elitist thought process? Here’s what she had to say during a speech to the National Association of Counties about the current health care bill the Democrats are trying to ram through Congress: “You’ve heard about the controversies, the process about the bill…but I don’t know if [...]
Massa points finger at Democrat leaders
Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) has a theory: his own party’s leaders are behind the ethics investigation to force his resignation. According to the embattled congressman, House leaders and the White House weren’t too happy about his nay votes on health care and cap and trade, and have figured that getting rid of him would be [...]
Moderate Democrats could abort ObamaCare
The current ObamaCare proposal does not satisfy some Democrats because of the abortion issue, and these members of Congress have publicly declared their opposition to the bill. Again, it is Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) leading the charge: “Yes. We’re prepared to take responsibility,” Stupak said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” when asked if he and [...]
