4. He mentioned that he just opened his own "Health Savings Account"
Then he said it is an "Tax Free account" from which he can draw from anytime he wants, without penalty....It's HIS money.

Is this another tax shelter for the wealthy? What person that works with his/her hands can afford to put $300-$400 a month in a HSA?

5. These Little Accounts Are Rediculous...
How is a working class person going to put money into these health savings accounts...

If he had the money he would just go by health insurance...

9. as pResident
isn't he covered by health insurance paid for by us the taxpayer? so wouldn't that make it a government run health care system?

meanwhile -- please tell me how much of my $2.50/wk "tax cut" should I invest in my own private social security account and my own private health savings account?

6. I am struggling through the second day
of spit monkey and his "guests" (contributors). I have never heard so much bullshit or seen it piled up as high as I have the last day and a half. Well finally the crazy right has their opportunity to dismantle social security and all other federal programs. It is so damn frustrating listening to the right. Greed greed greed greed greed....

I know. It's like watching some kind of parallel universe. These people must live in an alternate reality. You know some place where their BS isn't', well, BS, belittling,annoying and insulting. Sure lets dismantle the New Deal. Who needs a middle class after all? Serfs and royalty, thats the future folks so lets get behind our illustrious leader. Can I have an Amen, somebody?

Sorry, edit for spelling
