What??? Bush bankrupted the economy and you're blaming Obama????


The thing that really is going to bankrupt the country is the
entitlements.
That was an 80 year process where nobody was willing to say no and
nobody was willing to actually pay for it. They just passed the cost
on to the next generation. Minor stuff like the 4 or 5 wars were
trivial since they have an end. There is no end to the entitlements
and they will gobble up an ever increasing part of the GDP until we
fix the problem or until the country actually does bankrupt itself.
This medical insurance boondoggle is just more grease for the slippery
slope. To start with, does anyone really think congress will actually
make the Medicare cuts part of the "savings" are based on?


I think you're right in the long run... entitlements need to be dealt with
appropriately. That doesn't mean ending them, ala GWB moving them to the
stock market.

The "cuts" are mostly for waste and fraud, and I think some of them, perhaps
even a significant portion of them will be acted upon. One can take the
extremely pessimistic view that they won't be of course.

Do you think the insurance companies won't restructure the "Cadillac
plans" enough by 2018 (the current "cut in" data) that they avoid that
tax?


I'm not a big fan of the current bill in it's entirety, but portions of it
are good and it can be fixed, much like other programs are fixed after the
initial legislation passes.

Do you think they will actually raise any of the taxes necessary to
fund this?


On the rich, I hope so. They can afford it.

If so, you have been living in a cave for the last 40 years.


No... mostly nice houses. :)

All the spending is immediate and the funding is years down the road.


Well, that's an exaggeration. Much of the funding of many programs is
collected as taxes yearly. It's "down the road," but not necessarily years
down the road.


There is also no restraint on what insurance companies will charge,
only the mandate that they have to cover more people. They would do
that tomorrow ... if we were willing to pay for it. This bill makes
sure we will. You will see this October when the new policies come
out. The election in November. Any questions about how that will come
out?


Yes, we need to regulate them. This is one item that needs to get fixed via
legislation. However, if a public option was included, we wouldn't need as
much regulation. It's wildly popular with the public, but for some reason
the Dems in the Senate are afraid of doing what's popular (and right).

Cool. Save your money as Obama is at some point going to have to pass
on the tax bill for this insane debt-bailout spending.


guess he thinks obama's been president for 9 years. guess he forgot
bush ****ed away a TRILLION dollars in iraq

a TRILLION dollars. and he says NOTHING about that.

because bush is rich and white.


The mesiah has spent, now you must pay.


the money was spent before obama ever took office. you're just too
economically illterate to know that. it's simpler and easier to blame
it on the darkie

Since Obama and the corrupt Congress has spent much more than Bush even
thought of spending,


uh...wrong. at least they spent it HERE. bush ****ed it away in iraq.
and look how the iraqis love us for saving their country!! wasnt that
trillion well spent!

and bush set up the TARP program. obama just implemented it




And interest rates will
definitely be higher. What are you going to do then? There will be no
money for bailouts, no money for healthcare. The government if it is the
banker for healthcare, will just keep the money and meter out a minimum of
heathcare. What has the stimulus accomplished? Other than keeping overpaid
government workers on the payrole.


we're already headed for collapse of healthcare. if the GOP had a plan
they would have done something. they didn't.

"Interest rates will definitely be higher." You must be an oracle. Duhh...
they're currently at historic lows, so that's not much of a leap in logic.


They can't go lower than zero.

Obama spent FAR less than Bush. Interesting how you right nuts forget about
the $10T in tax cuts for the rich and the Iraqi war's $6T.


Not as rate/time. For rate over time, Obama is debt-spending more than
4 times faster. By the end of 2010, 2 years, Obama will have debt spent
about the same as Bush did in 8 years.


to keep the US economy afloat. bush poured a TRILLION into iraq

what did that get us? any more jobs? more security? anything at all
for a TRILLION dollars?


"No money for healthcare." So, a public option or even better a single-payer
system would have 100s of billions. Nope, can't do that, right?


Eventually, when you can't pay for something you lose it. Just takes time.


which was already happening in healthcare, with double digit increases
over the last 10 years

Good God... it's a mirror of what Bush caused. You really need to stop

There's a recovery underway. It may not be strong, it might not even be
sustainable. We'll have to wait and see, but to deny reality....

FYI, it's fewer jobs being loss, not less jobs being lost, but you got it
right fewer jobs are being lost. Yes, there are people dropping off the
unemployment roles and are no longer being counted. Yes, the unemployment
numbers are worse because of this fact, but the rate of job loss is slowing.
Just about all economists agree that the job situation isn't getting worse

I would not dispute that there are many on the "wealthy right" who would
like to totally destroy the "worker class" in this country so they can
build a new worker class willing to work for peanuts, with virtually no
benefits...ala the Wal-Mart model. They'd like nothing better than a
return here to 19th Century employer-employee relationships, where the
employees are no better off than workers in China and much of the rest
of the Pacific Rim, India, Africa, and Central America. The wealthy
right, after all, doesn't think it is wealthy enough.

yeah that can happen. in spite of right wing efforts to drive

middle class still exists.


Why would anyone want to drive the unemployment rate up?


-cheap labor
-to reinforce the fact they're rich and can do it

Why would
anyone be angry that the middle class exists? You are talking pure
donkey****, just like Harry told you to.


gee. look at mexico. why would 10 or 15 families rule the country
while tens of millions live in poverty?

you guys think this is a novel idea. it aint. as napoleon once said,
'religion is the only thing that keeps the poor from killing the rich'


I would think that business would want the consumer to be able to freely
spend...spend...spend. You don't see any advertising targeted to the
unemployed or down and out, do you?


if this is the case why hasnt the middle class had a pay increase in
10 years even though productivity has gone up 25%?

That chart showes that Obama's "Stimulus" has failed. Resolutely failed.
There are less jobs being lost each month because there are not that many

really? creating 1.5M jobs is a failure?

oh, yes, i forgot. the right wing thinks that if it helps the middle
class, it's a failure. only programs that help the rich can be
successful

it's a matter of their fundamenalist faith



Creating what 1.5 million jobs? Please list a few.


do your own damn research

start here. learn something instead of drinking the right wing kool
aid, OK?

"Interest rates will definitely be higher." You must be an oracle. Duhh...
they're currently at historic lows, so that's not much of a leap in logic.


They can't go lower than zero.

Obama spent FAR less than Bush. Interesting how you right nuts forget about
the $10T in tax cuts for the rich and the Iraqi war's $6T.


Not as rate/time. For rate over time, Obama is debt-spending more than
4 times faster. By the end of 2010, 2 years, Obama will have debt spent
about the same as Bush did in 8 years.


to keep the US economy afloat. bush poured a TRILLION into iraq

what did that get us? any more jobs? more security? anything at all
for a TRILLION dollars?


And what do you think about Obama flushing $2 trillion in the first
year? And now another $1.6 trillion this year?

Don't forget democrates voted for Iraq too. And TARP.

"No money for healthcare." So, a public option or even better a single-payer
system would have 100s of billions. Nope, can't do that, right?


Eventually, when you can't pay for something you lose it. Just takes time.


which was already happening in healthcare, with double digit increases
over the last 10 years


Yep. Might be again. Work out home prices since about 1970 using the
government published inflation tables. Then see if you can find a
property remotely at that price where you live.

People need health care, they don't need most other business the same
way, So health care will track real inflation, not the bogus governemnt
numbers.

But there is the point, do you want corrupt corporates to rip you off?
Or corrupt big fat government to rip you off? You choose!

that prevented 25% unemployment and created 1.5M jobs?

good deal!

oh...and you DO realize that, even after ALL the spending is done over
the next 10 years, the debt burden, adjusted for inflation, will be
about the same as it was in 1990.

oh. you're a right winger and don't do math...you just want MORE
UNEMPLOYMENT!!

sure we voted for iraq. because bush was a convincing liar. just like
he was when he put the tax cuts in for the rich.

except in other countries, the rate of increase in healthcare costs
is lower than it is here

but we're perfect, right?
