This is precisely why we need a new conservative, constitutional party. Wobblies are not going to achieve what is needed.
Spot on.
What is true of the following:
1. I have a $300/mo Anthem $8000 deductible now, but I’ll be getting a notice saying it went up to $900/mo (Ohio)?
2. Do I still have to sign up via the 1800F***YO?
3. I have not tried to sign up, but do I have to or is there a choice of fine to pay?
4. I heard when you sign up you provide your bank info so they can and will automatically take your premiums and fines from your account...is that true?
Gee, those w/ out bank accounts, I guess they’re the permanent voters for 0bummer and recipients of my transfer of wealth.
*Ads will help bring the issue home to a wary public. *
The ads need to show how many jobs are going down to 29 hours because of this debacle.
The first sentence smacks of political pragmatism. It is manipulation and weakness. It might work in the short term, but it is not material from which one might build a solid house.
The Republican *response* is one thing, but the Republican *plan* must be to systematically dismantle these FDR and LBJ and Obama monstrosities, while screwing as few people as possible in the process.
The key to this is taxation and slashing the size of the federal government.
The Republicans have shown aptitude in reducing the rate of *growth* of spending; but it will be conservative Republicans that will have to carry out the actual cuts. And they must be BIG cuts. Entire agencies of government will have to cease to exist.
But when the cuts are made, hopefully the Republican’s budget deficit will be reduced, eliminated, or even in the black. When that happens, they can start to kill off the socialist nightmares.
1) Stop enrolling anyone but minimum wage workers in Social Security. And privatize their enrollment in the system. Social Security and Medicare are evil twins, so the same applies to new enrollments in Medicare. FICA taxes are effectively finished, so instantly, a lot of entry level paychecks are doubled.
2) Then start working from bottom to top of people enrolled in SS, offering them a deal. If they get out of SS for good, they pay no more FICA, and they get several years of tax deductions slightly better than the money they have already paid into the system. So, they get more take home money, and pay lower taxes. A great deal for them.
3) Offer them the opportunity to create an Individual Medical Account (IMA), like an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), to fill the gap left with the loss of Medicare. Since their paycheck is doubled and their taxes are lowered, incentivize them to put their money in their IRA and IMA.
4) Offer the people currently receiving Social Security a deal, that if they still have substantial taxable income, they can get *more* money in tax cuts if they turn down their SS checks. If they need their SS, they still get their checks.
5) Turn many federal programs into block grants to the states, with no strings attached. All the federal government does is to assure the money has been spent on what it is supposed to be spent, with no regulatory or other strings attached.
