Please read this........ especially the reference to pages 58 & 59
JUDGE KITHIL wrote:
"I have reviewed selected sections of the bill, and find it unbelievable that our Congress, led by
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, could come up with a bill loaded with so many wrong-headed elements."
"Both Republicans and Democrats are equally responsible for the financial mess of both Social
Security and Medicare programs."
"I am opposed to HB 3200 for a number of reasons. To start with, it is estimated that a federal
bureaucracy of more than 150,000 new employees will be required to administer HB3200.
That is an unacceptable expansion of a government that is already too intrusive in our lives.
If we are going to hire 150,000 new employees, let's put them to work protecting our borders,
fighting the massive drug problem and putting more law enforcement/firefighters out there."
JUDGE KITHIL continued: "Other problems I have with this bill include:
** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are
here illegally.
** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and
will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members,
union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now - ACORN).
** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could
anybody in their right mind come up with that?)
** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government
will set all doctors' fees.
** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age.
** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however,
communities may petition for an exception.
** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on
Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years.
(Death counceling.)
** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.
HAD ENOUGH????
Judge Kithil then goes on:
"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of
Congress are already exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded private plan
that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find
a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."

Re: Kudos to President Obama
For those old enough to remember, or smart enough to recognize; it was the un-declared and uncalled for war in Iraq along with the Republican's failure to address domestic issues; e.g., the failing economy, Social Security, Medicare, Health Care, RKBA, bank and mortgage company failures, etc. ad nauseum, that got Obama elected.

Re: Kudos to President Obama
I say that the last two years of the Bush Presidency were run by democrats in congress, not Republicans. i say that the financial implosion was a direct result of Democrat imposed legislation attempting to make housing easier to access for minorities. Dropping lending standards and even putting pressure on lenders to make mortgage money more available to low income minorities created the environment that instigated the bad loans to begin with. Maxine Waters and Barney Franks both claimed everything was Okey Dokie just two years before the collapse. Nope... it was good intentions as usual... mostly inspired by Clinton.Oldgringo wrote:For those old enough to remember, or smart enough to recognize; it was the un-declared and uncalled for war in Iraq along with the Republican's failure to address domestic issues; e.g., the failing economy, Social Security, Medicare, Health Care, RKBA, bank and mortgage company failures, etc. ad nauseum, that got Obama elected.

Lets us also not forget that before we went into Iraq, Many of these same sewage swilling democrats that hurl accusations at Bush stood up in congress and stated emphatically that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. They were operating off the same information Bush had.
The real reason Odumbell got elected is that Odumbell was framed as the young hip rap star and McCain was framed as needing pampers. It was cool to vote Obama at the time. Most of the folks who voted for Odumbell don't have a clue about what is going on in the world and have gone back to not having a clue.

, except that when the Republicans had the "stroke" to fix things, they didn't. BTW, Goldwater was the first Republican I voted for and McCain was the last.

Re: Kudos to President Obama
I think it is quite fair to blame the recession on both parties; no one party had full blame. Since Bush was in charge at the time, he will get the blame, but the situation is far more complex than "the captain goes down with the ship".
I would hope in the next election the Republicans can come out with someone like McCain, who can work with the democrats and independants. What we do not need is some poloraizing figure getting the nomination.
Oboma inherited quite a mess (two decade long wars, an ecomony in melt-down, etc.). For my vote at least, in 2012, he needs to show progress on many different fronts. If not, I'll check under the hood and kick the tires on who the republicans have to offer. That is how democracies work.

Re: Kudos to President Obama
So okay 2 years of Democrat Congress, so they only had 8 years where the could have passed ANYTHING they wanted, had the Supreme Court hold it up if needed, and have the White House back it.
Mostly the problem with the Bush whitehouse when it came to Economics is they wouldnt face reality. People were kicked out for suggesting the Iraq war would cost too much (And even then the numbers they gave were way to low!) Paul O'Niell was kicked out for warning people about deficits. Yeah part of the problem was the Democrat led Housing Bust, but lets not forget the Massive debt Bush put us in, and the Bailouts he signed before leaving.
The Iraq War was led badly, we should have sent more people in, we did NOTHING when they started Looting in the streets, we had no after action plans. It was a mess. Compound that with False intelligence, over-eagerness, the poor treatment of allies, it was a farce that cost too many people their lives.
Obama got elected because 1. He was Black 2. People were sick of the mess we had gotten in over the last 8 years 3. Sarah Palin.
Bush/Obama its more of the same with a different Mask on

It took a lot more than two years for the sub prime lending to rear it's ugly head. Check this out for a history lesson.

Re: Kudos to President Obama
Couldn't have said it better. And I recall us dumping into a recession in the tail end of 99, with a declining GDP following the .com bust. Frankly, I don't recall W blaming Clinton for that, not even once did I see that. Obama's choice to continue the blame game is wearing thin on America, as evident in the03Lightningrocks wrote:I say that the last two years of the Bush Presidency were run by democrats in congress, not Republicans. i say that the financial implosion was a direct result of Democrat imposed legislation attempting to make housing easier to access for minorities.
