Yet, Øcarter has really served 20 years in Rev Wright’s church
Thanks for clarification. I heard Michael Tanner using the figures last week and jotted them down quickly. I had not verified them.
The point is, however, you are right. The whole situation is untenable and has been for a long time. Bush tried to change Social Security but that failed because of Democrat demonetization and lack of Republican support. He should never have signed Part D of Medicare either. Voters who are now upset over the government takeover of healthcare need to add the costs of Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid to their calculations of just how costly these entitlements are.
Kristol .....healthcare will fail on the floor !!

Not buying that, healthcare is Øcarter Stimulus #2, all the Republicans and 11 Democrats may vote against it, but that still isn’t enough
Plus. Most insured people get their insurance through their companies. Once a company realizes they can save money and make greater profits by changing to federal healthcare, employees won’t have an option to keep their old coverage.
Hmmmm....Uhmm, How well can you sing?
Business is rationally in a bunker mentality until they see that the Marxists in power are not only going to be thwarted in their goals, but also that the damage they’re doing now is going to be repealed.
Picking favorites by trying to give a break to those who only with that incentive will decisde to hire is hurting those who have already hired up or who laid off fewer to date, but it’ll also weaken thos who hire just for the break.
Across the board, permanent taxes cuts accompanied by cuts in spending are the only rational way out of this.
This morning I had some thoughts on Afghanistan I’d like to share with this fine, august group. Just throwing it out there.
BTW, I seriously prayed for my country this morning although I hope that fine liberal group on MTP thinks it’s okay for us to PRAY for our country if we don’t laugh at the dumbness.
I know the Dems ran with the mantra that it was Afghanistan that was the REAL war America should fight. Of course they don’t really believe this. Dems don’t much believe in any wars in that all money spent on wars should rightfully be removed from war and all the cost and spent on the pitiful citizens that they vote to keep THEM in power.
Still they had Bin Laden to hold over Bush’s head and goodness knows that Bush would have died a swift death if he ever dared to defend himself.
But I think it just might be time to get the hell out of Afghanistan and I don’t say this as a dumb liberal but only after serious conservative thought.
Although, right now I caution that an American presence is most definitely needed in that sad country but keep it in the form of some sort of outpost, populate it with covert agent types, finance it with plentiful bribe money and monitor the presence of Al Queda in that fashion.
This is a country that has made its money by growing poppies for the interntional heroin market. anybody who thinks America’s going to transform this country into some sort of capitalistic shining city on the hill needs to see me about a bridge I got to sell cheap.
It’s geographically rough, not at all conducive to representative gubmint not to mention the religious fanatics that will likely never go away. It’s a region that is perfect for outlaws, drug dealing, corruption and control by gunpoint and a nasty religion designed to control and subvert. Now I hear that Karzai is corrupt and damn I thought he was the good guy.
If we keep hanging around Afghanistan, hey, I see the comparisons to Vietnam. This is going to be one long drawn out nasty battle from which we will eventually have to withdraw in disgrace.
Don’t forget America’s famous long and patient attention span and hey, other than keeping any organization from setting up camp there to plan and plot hurting America why the hell should we hang around?
If I’m right, and I open the subject up for debate cause it’s just me ruminating, than it’s time to stop pussyfooting around and either embark on a plan to transition into a withdrawal of our troops and implement another sort of American presence OR we should add the troops McChrystal wants and do the deed.
Problem is we have a CIC that can’t make a decision and is in a difficult spot, frankly. There’s all sorts of sound and sight bytes of him and other Dems praising the “real” war in Afghanistan and...politics don’t you know.
Meanwhile precious American lives are lost as the leaders in the house, senate and WH stand around with fingers in the air. McCain, as I end, is pontificating but, heh, he too is playing politics. War and the military is supposedly his forte. He arises to the occasion for the attention, NOT because whatever he rants about is necessarily the right action to take.
Meanwhile, over at abc, Christina van den Gargoyle(who once was a good looking wench but now is losing her looks fast) is having a field day telling everyone that the nat. debt does not matter cause its crisis time!! Time to build roads bridges, mosques, alters to worship ozero at,truly disgusting ratfest there.
Every time one of our our two guys George Will and some guy from abc made a point or two they were immediately shouted down by one of two of the three rats either cokey, christina or stuffy. It became very revealing what the tenor/purpose of the show truly was--to advance the Joker adm. No points allowed for conservatives at all the rats have their jobs down pat.
Rio was not perfect, but I bet that the crime problem will not be an issue. It will be a very secure city for the Olmpics no matter what it takes. In 2014, Brazil hosts the World Cup, so that will be a good dry run.
No problem.
Yep, a lot of local Government are collecting less tax revenue and going to have to cut their budgets,
the Democrats robbing the economy to fund their Stimulus bill is a Democrat made disaster for the Nation
If you would see my other posts you would see I think debt is a bad thing despite whoever owns it. I just don’t think we are at a panic stage yet regarding China or Japan. Our total debt is almost $12 Trillion and that is a much more worrisome than the fact that China owns less than 10% of it.
There was only ONE alto this morning...which was ME
Hmmmm....Uhmm, How well can you sing?
Heh. Well it was a part I knew well and the one and only bass and one and only tenor had a part kind of similar to the alto so I think it went off okay.
I'm no great singer, altos seldom are, but I got a loud mouth as much as you might find that hard to believe.
;)
Well, that's kind of why I stated it that way...getting the murdering cleric instigators to do battle instead of having the semi-interested populations involved.
I just can’t help myself.
Laughing at mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm
turned into laughing at
CHICAGO IS OUT CHICAGO IS OUT
TOKYO IS IN MADRID IS IN????????????
Wow, interesting theory John. Zero will be thrown under the bus. Could happen. There is no one the rats will not sacrifice to keep the socialist dream alive. I guess stranger things have happened.Revival of Hillary?
I don’t know if you had an opportunity to view or read the transcript of the Obamas’ presentations to the IOC, but they were an embarrassment in so many different ways, not the least of which was Obama again demeaning his own country. And of course, both Obama and his wife had to make it all about themselves.
MNJ just brought up an interesting concept, any chance the dems will throw zero under the bus any time soon?
Those Brazilian gals do rock...
