CBO: Healtcare Bill To Cut Deficit

Posted By James C Chandler Jr

I just don't see it. You raise taxes and fees on everybody, and still spend 940 billion, and because THEORETICALLY the projected deficit goes down, it is some kind of benefit?

Sure it is nice to reduce the deficit. Why not quadruple the new taxes and fees and the deficit could be reduced further?

Why not just take all of everybody's money, and just MAYBE it would balance with what washington wants to spend. But I doubt it.

Obama's Job Rating in RCP Avg Goes Net Negative for the First Time

I've been watching this for awhile and wondering if and when this would occur. I imagine this business with the health care matter is not helping him. http://realclearpolitics.blogs.time.com/2010/03/18/obama-s-average-job-approval-rating-goes-net-negative-for-1st-time/

If they cram-down healthcare reform, it might please the far left enough to swing it positive again, but seems doubtful to me. But I dunno nothin.

After everybody pays more taxes and fees for four years with no benefit from the "free healthcare" he's gonna go massively negative, IMO. Especially with his mind-numbed youth vote who are suddenly required to pay out the yin-yang for health insurance they feel too immortal to need. "Duuude! I thought this stuff was sposed to be free!!"

It's just hard to imagine why such a fine upstanding organization like ACORN might be shutting their doors. Who will organize communities and facilitate voter fraud now on behalf of Democrats? wink

They will just change the sign on the door. Soros Industries perhaps?

Newton's Laws

I have no doubt if the "internets" was around in Newton's days he would have recognized an additional law we are all now familiar with. "The longer a thread gets the more irrelevant the discussion becomes." grin

Enough with the "nail in the coffin" thread fellas, start a new thread. Going through 10 pages of that thread to get to current affairs is enough. Many folks are going to miss the story about the "tan tax". wink
Mike

Can the Astromart software lock a thread?

A possible corollary to the above law may be "The more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets."

My prediction for the next big step

Posted By James C Chandler Jr

Charles R Genovese, Jr MD said:

Illegal alien amnesty will be the next agenda. They of course should vote and get free healthcare-if your agenda is to bankrupt the country this would be the logical next step. After thast comes the "fairness doctrin" legislation- they are tired of hearing from any opposition.

John McCain and Lindsey Graham will be right in there helping BHO with the amnesty, unfortunately.

Obama's Health Care Speech in Iowa City

Posted By James C Chandler Jr

How many victory laps on healthcare are necessary or appropriate?

I still suspect he just got addicted to healthcare speeches and might continue his obsession for perhaps years to come .

Definitely a drop in posts!

Posted By James C Chandler Jr

Maybe some of it is seasonal with spring breaking out and such.

I've been unusually busy and haven't had time to post much the last few days.

I like looking at the ads, articles and forum posts, but haven't ever bought or sold anything here. Am typically just a retail sorta guy, don't have time for horse trading. It is a benefit that the forum content usually is not visible to the general public, only folks who sign in.

Though AM is a valuable service and IMO well worth $100 a year, of course the primary motivation is the fine Astromart Mugs. You can't get them anywhere else! Perhaps one day I'll have one for every day of the week!
