Remember all the excitement over the "unveiling" of ReidCare in the Senate a few days ago? Harry Reid came as close to gleeful as he ever gets (which means a bit less gloomy than usual) when he announced his new "consensus" healthcare bill which entails expanding MediCare coverage to folks as young as 55? He made it appear that there was a new momentum on a health bill. Only one problem. The Associated Press revealed that ReidCare contains rationing. So if you need end of life care, forget it. Too expensive. This was the argument against the death panels that conservatives made a few months ago but were mocked for being paranoid...even though they were right. So now the DUmmies have discovered that ReidCare is nothing more than a SCAM to get a health bill to Obama to sign before he gives the State of the Union speech in January. Yes, it is no longer a matter of having a well thought out health care bill through Congress. It is all about having Obama sign a health bill into law as a feather in his cap before the state of the union speech. And now that the DUmmies have discovered what a scam ReidCare is, they are enraged as you can see in this THREAD, "The arrogance of allowing "annual limits" on health care...." So let us now watch the DUmmies all upset about being scammed once again in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, still trying to figure out how someone as gloomy and grumpy as Harry Reid ever got as far in politics as he did, is in the [barackets]:
The arrogance of allowing "annual limits" on health care....
[Hope and Spare Change.]
It is stupefying. It is mind-blowing. Surely the Senate knew someone would notice that they were stripping the lifeline for critically ill patients, hiding it deep down in the bill.
[Welcome to the wonderful world of "transparency."]
I feel like saying how dare they do this...but it would be a silly thing to say. They dare because they can, because they know they will get away with it.
[Toss anything at the wall just so The One can claim a health care victory by the time of his State of the Union speech.]
The last few days I have read posts about how nearly all Democrats support Obama, how only a pathetic little few dare not.
[We few. We pathetic few.]
It is not Obama I am concerned about. He has the oratorical ability to pull it off and come out in 2012 with flying colors.
[Um...uh...my teleprompter...broken.]
It is another matter how he would lose the majority in congress just because of the endless ways they jerk around those of us who gave them a majority.
[And the biggest of the jerks are the DUmmies.]
Those who are very ill, those with the most medical bills will pay dearly for that hidden clause that the Senate in its arrogance allowed to stay in there.
[I wonder if this DUmmie was laughing at conservatives last summer for daring to suggest that ObamaCare would have death panels to handle the rationing problem? And now on to the other DUmmies...]
I thought the whole f&cking point was to protect people from catastrophic bills due to having a major life threatening disease. What in the f*ck are we doing?
[Proving the right RIGHT when they claimed last summer that ObamaCare would lead to death panels.]
I do not even pretend to know what they are doing. I don't think even they know what they are doing.
[But surely Joe Biden is competent?]
This is just one more reason why we need Universal Single Payer health care!
[For the DUmmies, all roads lead to socialized medicine.]
Can you imagine what cancer patients would face? It is mind-boggling.
[They would face Death Panels...just as EVIL rightwingers have been saying all along.]
In the 2010 primaries, I will NOT vote for an incumbent. In the general
election, I will NOT vote for an incumbent. It does not matter to me if he or she is a Democrat, Republican, Unitarian, or Vegan - it is time for the office holders to be replaced with a fresh crop of weasels. The current crop has feasted in the henhouse long enough.
[GASP! You would even vote against incumbent Wiccans and Gaians?]
WHO put this limit in this bill? I would like the names, please. I would like the right to face her sentencers.
[Who put the limits in ReidCare? One clue would be the first syllable of ReidCare.]
Hill sources explain that this was inserted because CBO said premiums would "go through the roof" if insurers couldn't cap benefits.
[Without the limits the bill would add greatly to an already massive deficit. We are in multi-trillion dollar deficit territory nowadays. And the Chinese who own much of the debt are ticked off bigtime.]
I'm sure they are clueless, and also probably don't care if any of us live or die.
[Don't worry. ACORN will make sure that you still vote after death.]
Harry Reid should be drawn and quartered for trying to sneak this through a 2,000 page bill.
[So how is that transparency thing working out for you?]
Which is exactly why we need Single Payer, Universal Health Care for all.
[As stated upthread, all roads lead to socialized medicine for the DUmmies.]
The plan is: "Don't get sick, if you do, you will die because we aint payin JACK!"
[Perhaps its time for Alan Grayson to revise his cardboard sign. It's the DEMOCRATS doing this.]
Of course, my big project this coming year will be to buy $50 gas cards for $20 or LESS by using coupons. It CAN be done but it does take planning.
ibtp
me too!
INBP?
PING!
Do you have to install that coupon printer?
Top 10?
In Before The Party?
I am shocked!
SHOCKED, I tell ya!
Not!
The software...yes. Also it usually limits you to only one or two printouts. I prefer to get my coupons on the outside. You can even buy them online up to a couple of thousand. When you see a good deal and have the coupons for it, then stock up. I know have enough toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins (Marcal Small Steps) to last me until Spring. My cost was FREE. I only paid the sales tax. Same thing with toothpaste. But what I REALLY want is a year's supply of gas cards purchased for at least 60 percent off.
Can you do a brief post on couponing for those of us who on coupon challenged? Couponing for Dummies or something like that LOL.
“....election, I will NOT vote for an incumbent. It does not matter to me if he or she is a Democrat, Republican, Unitarian, or Vegan - it is time for the office holders to be replaced with a fresh crop of weasels. The current crop has feasted in the henhouse long enough.”
This part should be in red type, right? Maybe a mod can fix it for you.
It would take me HOURS to post what I have learned over the past few months. But the basic way to get stuff for FREE or next to nothing is a concept called "matchups." Basically you match your coupons up with stuff that is on sale at a big reduction. The best such price reduction is called BOGO or B1G1 (Buy One Get One Free). What many people don't know is that you can use coupons on BOTH items. The one being sold at the regular price and the free one. An example is the Fisher's Fusion trail mix on sale a few weeks ago. They were BOGO. Buy ONE bag of trail mix for $1.79 and get the other bag for FREE. Soooo... I had a bunch of dollar off coupons. I applied one coupon to each item which totaled $1.79. The coupons were a total of $2.00 (two one dollar coupons). Therefore I got two bags of trail mix for FREE and had an overage of 21 cents when I bought both. I stocked up bigtime. So when I bought 50 bags of trail mix, I had an overage of $5.25 which I could apply to other stuff. In my case I stocked up on Scotch Gift Wrapping tape which was on sale BOGO for $2.49. Since I had dollar off coupons for those, It only cost me 49 cents plus sales tax for two. Actually even less since my overage on the trail mix made it almost nothing for EVERYTHING. One of my best deals was buying 80 frozen buffalo wings PLUS a Porterhouse steak for about a half a buck TOTAL due to the big overage I had. That was my Porterhouse and Sam Adams beer week since I was buying those items plus the buffalo wings for only a few cents with the coupons and the overage.
And now you know why I am a coupon fanatic.
Your homework assignment is to research NeverPayRetailAgain.Net and HotCouponWorld.Com.
Ping for later
Wait, the DemUns discovered that Reidcare is a scam?
What crazy mistake of the universe let them be lucid enough to pull off the sheer amount of basic brainpower needed to figure that out?
Really, this is DemUn we’re talking about, where reality rarely intrudes!
They have earned Kewpie Doll coupons.
So your wife drops a few bucks to look good for you in the bedroom, while you eat a box of junk to expand yer ever-widening ass, and SHE’s the villain? ;)
She’s the villain for paying FULL PRICE for that Victoria’s Secret stuff. I could have easily given her $10 off coupons. BTW, coupons made possible my trip to Culebra. Bigtime. Oh, and porterhouse steaks are hardly junk.
Toblerone bars are, though. (And I was kidding.)
