It's 50/50

So the democrats health care plan is at 50/50 with the American people. No wait there is no plan. Will it still be 50/50 when the people know what is in the damn thing.

More seniors now believe they won't take a hit. How naive. Seniors should listen to what the politicians are saying. You don't save that amount of money on medicare without cutting benefits. Try asking them where those savings are going to come from. Pen them down to details not some pie in the sky "Oh we can find the money without touching the services." Yeah and I can fly a jet airliner, any of you guys want to sign up for the maiden flight. You are doing a similar thing, if you back this nonsense.

We have to stop spending more than we earn or seniors biggest problem will not be medicare. It is going to be how to heat your house or buy your food. Some of us might be sharing food with our dogs now, but if hyper inflation hits, it will the dog's food we are sharing.

doesn't anybody read history anymore?

Take a look a the outpost that almost got overrun.

Way too much like din bin phew (sic) where the french foreign legion got their collective asses handed to them by General Jap in the old indochina war. It was the battle that created vietnam.

My sister passed away last week. It was a terrible roller coaster ride at the end. For her sake I am glad that it is over. Copd is an insidious killer. So if you smoke for god's sake quit or make a living will now.

Today I saw an article on yahoo. Dems: GOP rooting against America... They mention how the GOP accused anyone who didn't agree with their position on Iraq as being unpatriotic. Now they say the GOP is because the conservatives were happy when Obama failed to bring the Olympics to America. And of course the Rush Limbaugh comment comes back again about hoping Obama fails.

Well I'm a republican and I think I speak for a lot of us. Not wanting the cult of Obama to be successful is not the same as not wanting the people of America to be successful. The Dems hated George Bush and bashed him every chance they got.

Now that it is their dog in the middle of the fight, they want to cry foul. I don't think that is cricket ya'll. So not wanting the Democrats socialistic policies to succeed is a far cry from wanting American soldiers to die from lack of bullets.

I don't want the government in the insurance business, I don't want them in the banking business, and I don't want them in the automobile business. I read something yesterday that I think describes most of us. In a crisis from a flood to a melt down in the banking business, we want the government to step in and help, then we want them to get the hell out of the way.

The credit market went south because the government began telling banks to make shaky loans. Well the banks made them and then when they failed they expected the government who pressured them into those loans to step in. They did and they should have. Banks I think would like to make only good loans but they get criticized for doing that. Come on people clean up you crap then leave the guys alone. If GM can't compete in he market place because of the labor unions then let them sink and the unions explain to the workers why they failed. A new company would never sign the kinds of contracts that were burdening GM.

Well anyway, GOD BLESS AMERICA just so you know where this republican stands.

My sister has copd and has been in and out of the hospital a lot this year. Her insurance is medicare, which is what I have as well these days. So she has been in the hospital and stays until medicare decides she is well enough to leave. I have never thought that she was mistreated or that enough was not done, but they do rush her out of the hospital, when I think she needs more care.

So when medicare decides to stop paying the doctors send her home. So tell me how the hell are they going to save billions without cutting off those payments even earlier. And how the hell is cutting off payments not rationing health care. It can only get worse if the government goes into the health care business.

Jimmy showed us again why no one should pay any attention to him. While he was president he was being groomed to be an ex president and still doesn't have it right.

Well tonight the head cheerleader will try to rally the troupes. I'm not going to watch it but I am interested in the after action reports. What rabbits will he pull from the hat. Or will he just try to again bedazzle those who voted for him. After all he did promise them change. They just didn't ask exactly what change. I do hope someone states the nuts and bolts of this change since all I hear is conflicting versions of this great health care change.

I got this in my email. I didn't do a fact check but it seems about right to me.



Are we on the wrong page…?

A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline.

A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.

So, the average "Cash for Clunkers" transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.

They claim 700,000 vehicles – so that's 224 million gallons /year.

That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.


5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day's US consumption.

And, 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million dollars at $70/bbl.

So, we all contributed to spending $3 billion to save $350 million.


How good a deal was that ???


They'll probably do a great job with health care though!!
