If there was ever a need for some fiscal discipline, even bloodletting, it is now.
Illinois enters a state of insolvency
I would almost say good riddance, let the state die, but I need to buy some more personal protection and emergency supplies first. No telling what this will lead to.
Oh yeah, thanks Rod and fellow democrats!
I received an e-mail from my distinguished Senator, Roland Burris, touting his newfangled website and declaring his love for a health care reform public option. Read the e-mail.
I love the picture of Roland with the “medical professionals”. They look straight out of med-school if not still in it. Real professionals that have been involved with health care for a long time would probably disagree with the distinguished Senator.
Well I decided to respond to the e-mail and here is what I wrote:
In an e-mail sent to me you said “I would like to hear from you” concerning Healthcare. In the very next sentence you claim to be convinced of the need for a public option. Mr. Burris, you obviously do not want to hear from me since you have already made up your mind on the subject.
Be informed that voting for the Reid/Pelosi/Obama Healthcare reform bill in its current form will NOT endear you to your constituents since a majority of people in this country OPPOSE it.
Please reconsider your decision to support this bill and I will reconsider being convinced to vote against you in the next election.
I’m sure Roland will never read it.
SEIU Considering Legal Action Against City For Allowing Eagle Scout to Clear Walking Path
“there’s to be no volunteers.” No one except union members may pick up a hoe or shovel, plant a flower or clear a walking path.
Is this the communist utopia we’ve all been waiting for?
My esteemed Senator, Roland Burris, Has a Lot of Questions About How the Federal Government Works.
Take away quote:
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, this is — this is — I mean this is. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m done.
Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL)
Read his entire incoherent, rambling, statement at the link above.
Reminds one of a Billy Madison quote:
Mr. Madison Burris, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
This article has some very good ideas on how Health coverage should really be reformed.
My coverage costs about 5% of my income and I probably couldn’t afford much more than that unless I get an increase in salary. 10% would be way too high for most.
It seems the economic acumen of Obama and the Democrats isn’t what they claimed during the election.
That or they’re just reckless.
Or both.
‘Barackie Madoff’ rescue nothing but a $16B rip-off
The Obama administration boasted yesterday that with $16 billion taken from you and given to others, 30,383 working Americans owe a hearty thanks of gratitude for their jobs.
Nationally, 30,000 jobs were created by $16 billion in contracts.
I can’t wait to vote these bums out. Unfortunately the damage is already done.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) is the new champion of the left and torch bearer for the public option in the new Healthcare reform fiasco coming out of Washington. Listen to his sound arguments…
America cannot wait any longer; we’re losing 44,789 Americans, who die every single year because they have no health insurance. That’s 122 every single day. We have to move ahead to save these American lives, and we have to move now.
I won’t comment on weather he is the next Bob Dylan or Shakespeare, but his logic is about as sound as a belch.
44,789 (very specific numbers) Americans die because they have no health insurance. I wonder if the CDC is tracking “no health insurance” as a cause of death now? It must be right up their with heart disease and cancer. This is just stupid. Thousands of people die every year that HAVE health insurance. Health insurance doesn’t cure you or operate on you, or heal you in any way. Doctors do that.
And he has the nerve to call Republicans Neanderthals?
Grayson is a moron.
Obama fails to win Nobel prize in economics
The president has worked tirelessly since even before his inauguration to wrest control of the U.S. economy from failed free markets, and the evil CEOs who profit from them, and to turn it over to wise, fair and benevolent bureaucrats.
At least it wasn’t Paul Krugman this time.
I refrained from commenting on Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. (Does this make him the Prince of Peace now as well?) But I like how this David Von Drehle fella thinks. We should award the peace prize to nuclear weapons.
Humanity hasn’t changed its blood thirsty ways in the last 64 years, there are still wars, but the big players have too much to lose in a nuclear exchange. We don’t want to risk wiping each other out – hence the Cold War.
Outlawing all nukes will just give us an excuse to start killing each other again.
