Americans Against Socialist Medicine

Your must-read of the day:  Socialist America Sinking.

 

While the Senate is starting to delay on socialist medicine, the House is pushing forward, with two committees passing their portions of the bill today.  The Wall Street Journal points out that the high earners who will be hit with the massive new income taxes will probably legally stop paying the taxes, while Nancy Pelosi thinks she's going to be able to confiscate so much income from high achievers that she'll be able to reduce the deficit, which is either dishonest or ignorant.  Remember, the CBO scored the House socialist medicine bill at a little over $1 trillion, but considering their record with predicting the cost of entitlement programs it might be reasonable to expect it to cost about $6 trillion by the time it's implemented.  Right now, Americans oppose the House bill by a 50-42 margin and oppose the idea of a government health insurance company by a 50-35 margin.

 

Protests are back in Iran, and the police responded with tear gas.  We should be supporting this.  In Honduras, ousted would-be tyrant and dictator Manuel Zelaya is calling for a civil war to get his power back.  We should not be supporting that.

 

Now the White House's spin is that the "stimulus" bill was never meant to stimulate the economy, but to "stabilize" the downturn.  At this point, if the economy recovers they can't claim any credit, but if it continues to tank it's on them.  The RNC is responding with Obama vs. Obama on the stimulus.

 

Clown Prince Vice President Joe Biden told the old people's wing of the Democrat Party, the AARP, that the government has to spend money to keep from going bankrupt.  The Congressional Budget Office, which is both nonpartisan and nonstupid, says otherwise.

 

Until the request showed up on the Drudge Report yesterday evening, the Bureau of the Public Debt was looking for a humorist.  Senator Byron Dorgan killed that, and destroyed a few jobs in the progress.

 

The labor unions are giving up on one part of the "card check" bill.  Chances are they won't get a bill now; it's just too late.

 

An Islamic supremacist group is going to hold their first conference in the United States, and it's half about advancing the Obama agenda.

 

Four out of every five Americans think that Wall Street benefitted more from the bailouts than did taxpayers.  What most people are ignoring is who benefitted the most:  politicians.

 

We now have proof that a number of Democrats had their votes for cap-and-trade paid for by their more liberal colleagues.

 

Former Governor and Senator Zell Miller had some choice words for the Obama administration.

 

"Bad heroin" is killing people in Atlanta.  Isn't that Darwin at work?

 

The Georgia Music Hall of Fame might have to close if they can't raise their operating expenses.
