		<description>My honest opinion is,that we should pay our congress and senate to stay home. Every thing they do to solve one problem,they create three more !!!!!</description>

		<description>What ever is passed for the american public  should be good enough  for ALL~~~ALL govermentment emloyees  to embrace as their medical plan.

  Please let your elected reps know this.  Also, there are some sneaky Repubs out there.  

OMG...start yelling !!  don&#039;t let them drown us in this bull.  All Government employees..on any level...  You can call, you can write, you can email them...you can go to town meetings your elected bozos have...Don&#039;t just sit here and text...
 
It&#039;s not just medical, it&#039;s the fact that they are passing things that will bring our country to her knees.  They don&#039;t read bills, yet pass them into law for the everyday citizen.

Biden and Summers are fools.</description>

		<description>I am not sure which is worse Larry Summers saying the economy must be improving because of less searches on Google for &quot;Economic Depression&quot; or Joe Biden telling the AARP that the only way to to keep the country from going bankrupt is by spending more money. I used to think that democrats were insane and now I know that they are.</description>

		<description>Another Rick Moran Epic Fail - this was released last night:

For Immediate Release: 
Energy &amp; Commerce Contact: ******(202) 225-5735 
Ways &amp; Means Contact: ******(202) 225-1417 
Education and Labor Contact: ****(202) 669-6874

July 17, 2009

CBO Scores Confirms Deficit Neutrality of Health Reform Bill

Washington, D.C. -- The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released estimates this evening confirming for the first time that H.R. 3200, America’s Affordable Health Choices Act, is deficit neutral over the 10-year budget window – and even produces a $6 billion surplus.  CBO estimated more than $550 billion in gross Medicare and Medicaid savings.  More importantly, the bill includes a comprehensive array of delivery reforms to set the stage for lowering the future growth in health care costs.

Net Medicare and Medicaid savings of $465 billion, coupled with the $583 billion revenue package reported today by the House Committee on Ways and Means, fully finance the previously estimated $1.042 trillion cost of reform, which will provide affordable health care coverage for 97% of Americans.

&quot;This fulfills the strong commitment of the President and House leadership to enact health reform on a deficit-neutral basis,&quot; said Chairman Henry A. Waxman, Chairman Charles B. Rangel, and Chairman George Miller.  &quot;The reforms included in this legislation will help control health care costs and expand access to quality, affordable coverage to all Americans in a fiscally-responsible manner.&quot;

The estimates also cover important reinvestments in Medicare and Medicaid, including phasing in the closing of the &quot;donut&quot; hole in the Medicare drug benefit.  The bill’s long-term reform of Medicare’s physician fee schedule to eliminate the potential 21 percent cut in fees, and put payments on a sustainable basis for the future, will cost about $245 billion.  Those costs, however, are not included in the net calculations above, as they will be absorbed under the upcoming statutory &quot;pay go&quot; legislation that is pending in the House.</description>

		<description>Obambi is a classic narcissist who loves the sound of his own voice which is why he is constantly making speeches. But ask yourselves this so many speeches and say the TOTUS writes most of them but Obambi has to rehearse so he can deliver them so when does he do any REAL WORK . Or is it as I suspect Obambi THINKS his only job is to give the speeches TOTUS tells him to?</description>

		<description>Democrats are either insane, on drugs, or both.  In either case, the whole bunch should be carted off to the funny farm.  What they want to do is just unreal.  What they are doing is not only unconstitutional, it is irresponsible, immature, ignorant, well .... far left mental illness!

Call out the men with the white coats with the restraint jackets and don&#039;t let them sign another damn thing!</description>

		<description>I propose Good-For-The-Goose legislation.  If this health care plan is so jaw-droppingly wonderful, then Obama and the rest of the DC Dunce Caps must abolish their own health care/insurance/whatever and get on the same program they expect us to endure.

Same goes for spending; if I spent so far beyond my means that I could not pay any of my bills, I would lose my electricity, my water, my gas, I would not be able to afford food or fuel for my care, let alone auto or health insurance.  If I can&#039;t make a credit card payment, eventually the card people will cut me off, and stick me with massive late fees, overdraft fees, and heightened interest rates.

Likewise, if I were to break the rules at work (ignore the Constitution), lie through my teeth to my bosses (as they lie to We the People on a second-to-second basis), and actively try to undermine my company to customers and competition alike (Apology tours), I would be sacked and possibly sued. Why should elected officials get such a golden parachute?  Why should they only be held accountable in election years?</description>

		<description>So a paid bureaucrat has publicly stated what all of us peasants have known for months.  I do not assume for a minute that this momentary flash of reality (in their world) will change their decisions.

What do you think it will look like when the boy king realizes the jig is up?  

When do you think the jig will actually be up for him?  Sometimes really bad things have a way of living on....and on......and on....and on.

Public meltdown is what I&#039;m hoping for.</description>
