    our healthcare …
    our healthcare delivery system has been screwed up by government intervention and regulation … and the solution is … more government! Maybe Obama and the Democrats should take some advice from Ronald Reagan, “Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.”

    “At stake right now …
    “At stake right now is not just our ability to solve this problem, but our ability to solve any problem. The American people want to know if it’s still possible for Washington to look out for their interests and their future. They are waiting for us to act. They are waiting for us to lead. And as long as I hold this office, I intend to provide that leadership.”

    In other words…The president of the United States perpetuates this notion that Washington exists in order to solve your problems.

    It was a speech to let the American people know that Democrats have waited long enough to get their hands on your healthcare .. and there is nothing – not the voters or the Constitution or legislative rules – that will stop them.

    Our Democratic …
    Our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are no longer bothering with letting sound arguments and good reasoning rule the day when they can steal from others to finance their own success, and never mind the truth when our political elite can gain power by lying and manipulation. Pushing and pulling data just like the Republicans, these Democratic Party hucksters press their agenda of fear all the same to their own desired outcomes as well.

    In spite of …
    In spite of everything our Democratic Party representatives in Washington will borrow $1.6 trillion this year, or about $15,000 for every household in the country. Over the next 10 years our federal government is expected to borrow an additional $8.5 trillion, and this is on top of the 12 trillion we currently owe. These figures are beyond being enormous, especially since we already pay one in seven dollars in interest.

    Meanwhile our middle-class families are looking for more than empty promises. They want to go back to work. And they want our Democratic Party representatives who run Washington to stop pursuing a big government, big spending agenda that includes a government takeover of health care, stimulus bills, a new national energy tax and taxpayer-funded bailouts.

    our Democratic …
    our Democratic Party has already lost the equivalent of every member we have acquired over the past seven years or more, and many of them are now supporting the tea party. More importantly, a recent Newsweek cover declared, “We are all socialists now.”

    We as Democrats are marching in a parade with people Harry Truman or even Jack Kennedy would not recognize – socialist (also know as progressives). Strangely, without meaning to, we the mainstream Democrats find ourselves representing this “socialist movement.” However, for the socialist within our Democratic Party, there is nothing so strange about it. Socialists have always sought to leverage corruption for the sake of power.

    Many of us are now …
    Many of us are now ashamed to be Democrats. More than that, we have come to fear our own Democratic Party. Hatred and corruption – the roots of socialism – are on the march as they have never been before, and leading this march is our Democratic Party. Increasingly, mainstream Democrats are uncomfortable with what they are seeing in our party. All the more, we know it is dangerous.

    Today we listen to our Democratic Party representatives in Washington act as though they have a record of accomplishment while our nation sits very near to the edge of economic collapse. We watch them bickering like little children as they posture and spin trying to make themselves look responsible. But in reality, our Democratic Party representatives in Washington have only made success through bribery.

    It has become painfully apparent our Democratic Party has not delivered on their promises made to us the Democratic Party members, or the American people as a whole.

    We as Democrats of the Democratic Party must remembrance our patriotism as Americans in the fight to restore our country to the basic principles as provided by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.

    For too long we have been silent, and no linger should we let the federal government over step its Constitutional bounds!

    Without doubt a large majority of our Democratic Party representatives in Washington are tainted by corruption, and the liberals among us are supporting the ideologies of progressives with their agendas based on moving our Nation deeper into a socialist form of government. This is a real threat to everything we hold sacred in America, and they are gaining evermore control over our Democratic Party, our Nation, and the American people.

    Single payer! We pay two and a half times what the other countries pay for healthcare and we’re still ranked in 37th. place! WTF! Do we have to pay ten times as much to get to see a doctor?! If you want the economy moving you get rid of the middle men in healthcare. It should be the doctor and the patient and that’s it. We don’t need fifty people to tell us if we need to see a doctor. I voted for this guy but I just don’t think he’s smart enough for this job.

    It’s my belief that our President is smarter than I, knows much more about the inner workings of our political system, and that he is a good man. I’m not going to deny that Medicare and Medicaid have been over used by some. I’m not going to presuppose that, should our President get a health care reform bill passed, everything in my life and yours will morph into a real life version of paradise, but I do believe we can improve. I don’t believe that we should do nothing but discourage.

    U6 is an unemployment number

    U3 is the reported unemployment number.

    U6 as close as the Burueau of labor statistics track real unemployment.

    U3 is the one getting benefits and most objective and the one that gets reported.

    Back to health care teh CBO says this will raise costs. It will save costs the first ten years but raise costs the next decade.

    It really isn’t a debate. How does it make sense to cut medicare if it has unfunded commitments over $74 TRILLION to help pay for all of this?
