Another whopper ?

I believe that if truth supported the Government take-over of health care, Obama would use as his arguments. Rather he uses arguments that are not true. Whether he is lying or he simply gets his facts wrong, I will leave to the reader to decide.

President Obama was on all the irrelevant TV network Sunday shows on September 20th.. One of the shows he was on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos". George asked him if the mandate for all Americans to purchase health insurance was a tax. Obama said that caring for uninsured people costs every family $900 more in premiums. That is obfuscation at best. In less than 15 minutes of research, I was able to dispel that myth. As usual I could not rely on the media to fact-check Obama's claims.

The actual cost of uncompensated care is 6% of total hospital revenue. Uncompensated care is defined as charity care, which is care for patients the hospital knows in advance will not be able to pay , combined with uncollectable bad debts. This 6% figure has remained relatively constant for 30 years.

Under compensated care, which is the amount billed but not reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, etc., has been increasing steadily and has resulted in 15% cost shift to commercial payers. This has resulted in a 10.6% increase in commercial health insurance premiums. The end result is that employers have had to pay $1,115 more and the individual has had to pay $297 more.

In summary, it isn't the uninsured that is causing the rising cost in insurance premiums. It is the Government's inability to pay for what it has already promised the citizens. Isn't that reason enough to defeat any Government health care proposal?

Acting stupidly?

So, Barack Obama admittedly did not all of the details regarding the arrest of Harvard Professor Gates, yet he accused the Cambridge police of acting stupidly anyhow.

Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black?

Kennedys best and worst - 40 years later

Almost everyone over the age of 40 has a strong opinion of the Kennedy clan.
In 1969, 40 years ago, we saw evidence of the good that the Kennedys have done and the very worst.

On May 25th 1961, John F. Kennedy challenged this nation to put a man on the moon by the end of the '60s decade. That goal was accomplished with four and half months to spare and almost 6 years after the death of JFK.

On July 18th 1969, 2 days before man first set foot on the moon, Ted Kennedy drove his car off of a bridge after a long day of partying. Rather than summon the help that could have saved the life of his female companion, he decided to save his own alcohol-pickled skin.

Obama, Sotomayor, and Soda Crackers

Obama's choice for the Supreme Court is telling. Not only does his selection show his disdain for the Constitution, but it also shows his disdain for white people. The Ricci decision is illustrative of both. Sotomayor's comments about Latino women being wiser than white men is racist on its face.

Obama's choice for SCOTUS is only one reason that his administration is not going to be friendly to us crackers. God help us all.

Constitutional Act?

Obama's takeover of the nations automobile industry is not constitutional. Nor is the firing of GM's Chairman of the Board, Rick Wagoner. As long as he is violating the U.S. Constitution, why doesn't he go ahead and fire Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. They deserved to be fired infinitely more than Wagoner due to their gross malfeasance which eventually led to the current financial collapse.

The foxes are watching the hen house!!!!!!

Granted there can be a lot blame deflected to those who are responsible for the current housing financing crisis. The genesis of the issue can be traced back to the early stages of the George W. Bush administration as seen here.

As it is implicated in the video and as I have enumerated in the past, much 0f the blame for the current financial crisis can be traced back to the malfeasance of Barney Frank(D), MA and Chris Dodd(D), CT.. I can't believe that both of them were blind-stupid enough not believe any of the predictions that are enumerated in the news story referenced above. I do believe that Sen. Dodd, Rep Barney Frank, and President Obama along with the mainstream media are conspiring to alter the future of our Republic by orchestrating a grand scheme to bring down our capitalist system by overwhelming the system with a unsustainable run on our welfare system.

This is a far cry from the glory days of the modern Democratic Party which can illustrated by the tyraids of Rep. Thomas Lantros(D), CA when he suggested that the Clinton Security Office Chief, Craig Livingstone have a similar outcome that befell Navy Adm. Jeremy Boorda.

Considering the breadth and scope of the problems caused by the malfeasance of Sen. Dodd and Rep. Frank, I am sure that fellow Democrat Thomas Lantos would agree that if their demise was similar to that of Adm. Boorda, it would be appropriate. Of course, I believe that it can't happen soon enough.

Fiscal Responsibility

Holy Crap Batman!

I just found out that President Barak H. Obama is holding a Fiscal Responsibility Summit on Monday February 23rd.

Isn't that analogous to Adolf Hitler hosting a Human Rights summit?
