“Deficit reducer”????

These guys have no sense of irony...and no B.S. detector.

“We are plagued by a corrupt polity which promotes unlawful and/or immoral behavior. Public interests has no practical significance in everyday behavior among the ruling factions. The real problems of our world are not being confronted by those in power. In the guise of public service, they use whatever comes to hand for personal gain. They are insane with and for power.”

Im about to pop. I might have to leave FR and the news for awhile because Im getting really worked up about the state of affairs. When is there going to be some news that “common sense” has taken over again. I am not even feeling good about Nov.

Zombies or not...you gotta hand it to them, they stole the earnings and the private healthcare of our families with little more than a whimper from any male in the US.

In the old days no man would allow such a theft of his livelihood.

My employer uses an insurance consulting company to help compare and negotiate medical plans with insurance companies.

Was in a meeting with the consultant yesterday and she was asked how Obamacare was really going to affect us. She said it was going to get bad. Said that the whole thing was designed to fail (we knew that).

What I didn't know is that the Feds will begin to tax us on the part of the premiums that our employer pays. Beginning in 2011 the Feds will "track" those amounts and then in 2012 we'll have to "report" those amounts. Whatever that means.

Wow! Sixty-eight billion out of trillions. F these people.

In order for universal healthcare to work the way the progressives intend, there must be a "single source" healthcare system. As long as there are any choices available to the citizen, "inequities" will persist. After all, why should one person be able to receive better health care than any other. Unless, of course, you are essential to the leadership elite.

Carry on Comrades.

RE :”Armed with a new line of attack aimed at soothing deficit fears, Democratic Reps. Lynn Woolsey (Calif.), Jan Schakowsky (Ill.) and Pete Stark (Calif.) last Thursday unveiled a bill that would offer consumers the choice of a “robust” government-run insurance plan alongside the private plans in the law’s exchanges. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the bill, which has gained 128 co-sponsors, will reduce the federal deficit by $68 billion between 2014 and 2020. “As the deficit continues to grow, so does the need for a program that can save billions of dollars and improve health care while doing it,” Woolsey, the co-chair of the progressive caucus, told The Washington Independent. “We are introducing the public option now so it will be available as a ready-made offset or deficit reducer in this or the next Congress.” Schakowsky argues that the lower overhead costs of government plans such as Medicare would allow the public option to create a better deal for consumers. “We could offer that kind of plan at a lower cost, and it would compete with private insurance companies, who would have to be more efficient and lower their costs,” she told TWI.

As silly as this argument sounds it provided one purpose for Obama. He got moderate democrats to vote for Obama-care based on phony made up CBO numbers. So now they think this scam will work again for the public plan. They are citing the broke (redistribution based) medicare as their model of fiscal efficiency.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Every one of those 128 House Democrats is in the distilled essence of douchebaggery.

[what's up]

Pure politics to try to get their deadbeat base fired up to vote in Nov.

Just them talking about things like this will make it more likely they lose big in November.

For anyone paying attention....this has been and is the end-game.

It's about the $$$$ and control.....Always has been, always will be.

Oboma/Ayers agenda - in their own words....

"The primary task of revolutionary struggle is to solve this principal contradiction on the side of the people of the world. It is the oppressed peoples of the world who have created the wealth of this empire and it is to them that it belongs; the goal of the revolutionary struggle must be the control and use of this wealth in the interests of the oppressed peoples of the world."
