2. Nothing
Obama didn't tackle anything, he laid down for big insurance and big pharma, check it, they didn't lobby against the final senate bill because it's what they wanted.

Wait till the bill is signed and all the workers find out what crap this "health care reform" really is. It's worse than nothing, his ratings are going in the ditch.

10. Mandatory Insurance
One of the reasons wage levels are stagnant or dropping, the rising costs of health care and health care insurance.

Now just like car insurance in the 80's it's going to be mandatory. When they made car insurance mandatory in the 80's they said rates would drop. They never did, they went up. One guess what happens this time.

the $30 MILLION dollar insurance CEO's and their companies 30 percent profits are safe, and your wages are in decline or stagnant because of stuff like this.

And Obama sez.... "this bill is good, let's get it passed". Shows you who's side he's on, like we couldn't tell after he pushed the $700BILLION no strings banker bailout, and then put the perps in control of the banking regs LOLZ!

Obama is a grifter, sooner or later the dumbed down sheeple will wake up to the fact they are being sheared.

13. After the Senate Bill Passed
Edited on Fri Dec-25-09 12:32 AM by Kalun D
The insurance companies stocks hit a 52 week high.

Obama said the bill that did this needed to pass.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY A VOWEL?

20.  A bills success or failure


doesn't have much to do about whether the actual bill itself is worth a crap or not.

If the dems success is riding on this piece of crap then they need to lose

This bill is bad enough I think it's worth losing the dems over, after all they aren't enough better than the repugs to make a real difference

the people need to really suffer for them to wake up. The dems screw them, but just not bad enough to wake them up.

Like Greenpeace and Sierra club sez, donations are better under a repug prez. Dems are worse because they make believe they are doing us right, when under cover they are screwing us all the same.

19. "Except for two or three people TV is nothing but hacks. " You seem to know an awful lot about them
Why do you assume that I watch assholes on TV?

You're spewing nonsense, and trying to disguise ignorance by portraying this as "TV watcher" vs. You.

9. You need to start following the business news
jobless claims down, GDP rising, stocks up, manufacturing orders on the rise, existing home sales improving, unemployment dropped and so on.

11. not in this decade, or the next
you have to stop borrowing and increase income. Obama has gone in the opposite direction. Clinton did it right although he set us up to fail in the future with NAFTA and GATT. Raise taxes on the rich, curb spending.

22. Clinton did not face 10% unemployment.
Deficits are bad--nearly always bad--when the economy is doing well, because they interfere with private borrowing. In the midst of a recession, however, they are perfectly appropriate.
