Based on the lack of response to your post it doesn't look like even here on FR there are many who want to take a look behind the curtain. In you I have come across one of only a few Freepers who "get it"! The feral government has put programs in place that not only can but WILL bankrupt the country. Fact is, our country is in technical bankruptcy already. The answer as you say when you're doing something that is causing more outgo than income and the prospects for increasing income are slim to none, what is the only choice left - reduce or eliminate the outgo.

As much as I would hate to give the commie in the WH any credit for anything, I would give it to him for taking on the Medicare problem(which is what it boils down to) IF I thought for a minute any of this was his idea. More likely his handlers are behind this and he is a willing accomplice. His/their solution of course is NOT the answer since it adds more UNCONSTITUTIONAL feral government intrusion onto an ALREADY unconstitutional program.

Once again I'm going to abuse my 10th Amendment ping list to get a larger constitutionally minded group involved with their opinions. Sorry for any inconvenience ;^)

How about I already read this elsewhere???

And didn't need to REREAD it...here.

I would consider the lack of response as being due to the fact that we all agree and have nothing more to add. The post pretty well covered it.

one of only a few Freepers who "get it"!

I don't know what you are talking about. Darn near all the FReepers I have seen 'get it'. Along with everyone at the teaparties.

Look again and save your 'credit'. His goal is not and never has been to 'take on the Medicare problem'. He is deliberately trying to bankrupt it! His whole goal IS to bankrupt the system so it can be replaced but a MORE socialist system. He is going to get more and more people on the various doles until they fall apart. Then in infinite wisdom and compassion the Dems will sweep in to 'fix' things again when the break more. Once again they will blame the problem on the private elements remaining in the system and 'fix' it by removing even more of those. Don't give him credit for anything. They made the problem, and they are making it worse so they can 'get credit' for 'fixing it' again and again.

What they are doing is NOT an accident and it is NOT compassion and it is CERTAINLY NOT taking on tough problems to try and fix them. They thing the private sector IS the problem and removing that is what they are trying to fix. All of these tactics were laid out by socialists half a century ago. Don't fall for them now by giving him ANY credit for ANYTHING.

The federal government shouldn’t be involved in healthcare, since that would violate the 10th Amendment. Each state legislature should pass a law that would limit the amount that a person may sue, in malpractice lawsuits. If that happens, health insurance premiums, for patients, would decrease, and malpractice insurance premiums, for doctors, would decrease.

We must get the Federal Government out of it 100%. The answer is...there is no government solution. Obama will lead us to the Cuban model. Everything is free but there isn’t any.

Behind the scenes this bill is scary. I have been reading and listening to Betsy McCaughey. What stands out about her is that the left actually attacks her and responds to her comments. In my mind that means she is on to something and they want to shut her up.... a lot like Palin.

Her most alarming warning is that this Bill is the most significant transfer of power from the legislative branch to the Executive Branch in US History. And now I read in this post that citizens will have no recourse in the Judicial Branch.

Health Care "Reform" is Obama's Enabling Act.

I think that Freepers are fired up just like alot of other people across the country. The seemingly small response should not be taken as contradictory to their passion and engagement.

Thanks for the ping and the reference to wastoute's excellent post as well. My thoughts exactly, and Hubby and I are on it.

LISTEN you arrogant, condescending little prick, DO NOT presume to judge who gets it and who doesn't based on replies to a thread.

I've been fighting the beast for over 20 years. I've been arrested and gone to jail for my beliefs. WHAT THE F**k have you done for FREEDOM, besides pound your f&&&ing keyboard from your momma's basement????

Take me OFF your f'ing ping list. I don't need some snot nosed little puss like you contacting me further.

[rlmorel]

I wouldn’t draw that conclusion based on response to a thread. There is a lot going on and this is just one thread. Thanks for the ping, but your conclusion about reluctance to look behind the curtain is flawed.

I heard about this on Rush Limbaugh yesterday and didn't think anything else needed to be added...

Cheers!

Someone posted a graphic somewhere that the last actual budget surplus was in 1957. I had thought JFK spent the last piece. Your point about what will happen is well taken. Spending like this is criminal; it’s like DC is trying to get set to take the money and run.

IIRC, our actual total fiscal exposure is over $600T, $24T of that by the end of this year.

48% of 7-Yr Fed Notes were bought back after a few days recently. That’s a whirlpool if ever there was one.

Ticker guy & Peter Schiff are all over this.

He who controls the debt controls everything.

Well, I don’t mind the pings. I just don’t have anything
good to add. I am only seeing gloom and doom today!
