Am I missing something here? What’s the big deal? I don’t like Boner, but the GOP plan mainly deals with insurance reform, choice and tort reform. I don’t see a problem with pushing these alternative issues in an effort to undermine the RATs and aid in our move to sweep the 2010 elections.
Why don’t you tend to you own business rather than lecture others.
Anything over one page is a total screwing of the public!!!!
If he does not cut government and spending, he is never going to get the majority in Congress. Promising to spend one hundred billion dollars on his socialist program is supposed to make everyone happy since they did not get Pelosi’s trillion dollar plan. What a deal!
” have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is “needed” before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents “interests,” I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can. - Goldwater”
Not many words spoken are as beautiful as those. Unfortunately you won’t hear those again in the near future. The main reason being is that politicians are just that, politicians. That is their career. They earn the votes by giving people other people’s money. There is an under current in this country of entitlement. People think that they are entitled to everything without working for it. They want the government to feed them, clothe them, give them a house and a car, etc. And the scary thing is, these people vote. Now who are they going to vote for? The one who speaks words like Goldwater or the one who keeps the gravy train running through their house?
Until we change minds, those words will not be heard by someone who is seeking public office. It’s a shame.
I know I’ve been blasted for saying this before, but what is needed to to change the voting laws. Only people who work and pay taxes should be allowed to vote. Only people who have a vested interest in this country should have a right to vote, i.e. someone who owns property, works, pays taxes, etc.
Then you would have someone who wants to keep government out of their pockets and not someone who is looking for a handout.
YES...what YOU said about who should be voting.
Stop it guys.
Does Ron Paul want tort reform?
Health Care is broke in this system. It has been broken by Government. The GOP bill takes steps to FIX what the Govt broke by getting Govt OUT OF THE WAY.
Here is a novel idea. Actually try reading the plan 1st rather then just flame out in typical reflexive ignorance.
The hysteric ignorance all of you expressed in your posts on this thread are utterly inexcusable in citizens of a Constitutional Republic.
I'm not so sure about that. The net effect of the American people's ongoing shouting at Nazi Pelosi is starting to remind me of shouting at someone with end stage Alzheimer's. You're shouting, you can hear it, everyone else can hear it, but she's completely, blissfully oblivious
I for one am not going explain to a DA such as yourself that scans the commentary, and doesn’t comprehend the content of the commentary as it would be a total waste of my valuable time.
I’m a bit sick and tired of holier than thou AH such as yourself popping off with your crap.
Why don’t you use your brain? Just signing onto a health care bill with government means that they can adjust it anyway they want to usually without our knowledge.
Just open the door and let them in if that’s what you want.
Because the Government is ALL ready screwing up health care.
Sitting around screaming “DO NOTHING” means you want to LEAVE IN PLACE the existing interference in the market. The GOP bill tries to address some of the errors that have been caused by Govt regulations of the market.
IF you bothered to read the plan, rather then simply start screaming, you would KNOW that.
If you’d bothered to apply brainwork while reading my post ah you would have noticed I was addressing the persons posting, not the topic you are chastising me about.
I know the Republican proposal inside and out. It isn’t what I was commenting on. Go back and read the multiple postings of the discussion.
I think you need to read the GOP plan, parts of it sound quite good.
You make a good point...but even Boehner should be smart enough to know he won’t be blissfully oblivious.
