A sad day for America

So then lets solve the problem where it started, Congress borrowing money from the trust fund. Perhaps if we put that money back?



Oh no you broke the secret liberal agenda code. That's it guys, pack it in, and walk away he figured out the big plan to redistribute wealth with 2 cent aspirins.

If anyone knows where a spare 10-15 trillion is laying around this is the best solution.

You can't trust politicians, Florida has a fully funded retirement system with a real surplus and the folks in tally are trying to raid it for money to fund their pet projects. Guess more of them need to build art centers to get them a job.

1. How about getting our military out of the middle-east because we will never be able to turn that area into our type of democracy.
2. Demand compensation through the oil reserves from Iran since we did "free" them from tirany instead of forgiving them of their debts.
3. Stop the insane amount of money that is pumped into elections EVERY year.

I guess a "lock box" isn't that dumb of an idea now is it?

The Congressional Budget Office said two days ago the health care bill will lower the national deficit by $143 billion.

They also said they weren't factoring in the Doctor fix which will blow it out of the water. Dems on the hill have already acknowledged this. Keep believing the lies...

You know what the doctor fix is right?

You know what the doctor fix is right?

"Media figures have claimed that the health care reform bill does not actually reduce the deficit because Congress is "leaving out $208 billion for the Medicare doc fix." However, there is no reason the "doc fix" should be included in the cost of health care reform since the issue predates the health care reform debate and will need to be resolved regardless of health care reform's outcome."

"Klein further stated that the problem necessitating the fix 'predates health-care reform and exists irrespective of health-care reform's fate. Attempts to lash the two together are nonsensical.'"

So AndrewG:

Do provide us with your solutions to the following:

1. No insurance availability to those with pre-existing illness
2. The continued escalation of insurance rates on those with fixed-income to the point where they must choose food/shelter or insurance.
3. Those who have lost their jobs, but can still get COBRA at Three times what they were paying when they HAD a job.

It's no surprise that most of the Dr. fix noise and misinformation has been coming from Faux News. Keep believing the lies.

Take out all the back room deals, the cornhusker kickback, Louisanna purchase, earmarks, and other promises that were made. Would we be talking about this, today?


No.


That is the saddest part. Based on the bill and the bill alone neither the House nor Senate could get the votes to pass this...not even close.
