The Peter Schiff/Redistribution Watch Ping. (Washington Bankrupting our Nation by Spending your past, present and future money!)

If you realize both parties in Washington think our money is theirs and you trust them to do the wrong thing, this list is for you.

If you think there is a Santa Claus who is going to get elected in Washington and cut a few taxes and spend a few trillion and jump start the economy, and get our lost money back, this list is not for you.

You can read past posts by clicking on : schifflist , I try to tag all relevant threads with the keyword : schifflist.

The American people get exactly what they want.

They have asked for chaos followed by enslavement and they will get it.

“If you realize both parties in Washington think our money is theirs”...exactly:

The 1300+ medical insurance companies hold vast capital reserves backing their insureds (patients) policies. The Fed is broke, and the 5 biggest US financial firms are hopelessly mired in credit derivative rollover obligations that boggle the mind. They need and want the trapped capital in the medical insurance industry, and demand the taxpayer make up for it thru taxation of new govt. medical insurance expansions. It is simple theft, and this aspect is not being included in the dismal picture unfolding before us. The administration and Dem Congress have decided to eliminate private health ins. coverage. It is more than govt. control alone...they want the money in the insurance companies freed up for their purposes instead of it supporting the private aspects of healthcare.

Why are insurance stock prices going up in such a lousy economy?

I suppose I am about to make a bad analogy, but I will do it anyway:

Henry VIII had personal reasons for breaking with the Pope and establishing the Church of England. It simply suited his purpose to do so. However, along the way, it became clear that the throne of England would gain control of all of the wealth held by the monasteries in England, if the Pope were repudiated.

Henry liked the wealth very much.

I see parallels with the US government, wanting to control health care simply because they like to control things -- and then, along the way, realizing that insurance companies have lots of money, and the gov't could get control of that as well.

A nice bonus for our masters in the castle up on the hill.

Saw that. My guess, because now they have lots of healthy forced customers to pay them taxes.

Wonder why the insurance companies aren’t weighing in? Could they have already made a deal with the devil?

Exactly.

People were turned off by Bush's annoying frat boy personality. They liked Obama's words and style. So they voted for Marxism, with very predictable results.

Leftist control of schools and major news media has left us with an economically and politically ignorant electorate. It's a tragedy.

All those thousands of pages boil down to one thing: price controls. Price controls have never worked. They don't work now. They won't work in the future.

Is there a single politician who understands the difference between prices and costs?

The inevitable result will be the complete dissolution of the private health-insurance market.

Precisly the plan.

Excellent question! I don't have an excellent answer, though. During "Hillarycare" I do seem to remember more insurance companies digging in against the scheme. (At the time, I was working for one who was actively mounting opposition to Hillarycare) I'm "out of the loop," now (and liking it)
