No doubt McConnell will still meet MAO-bam for his photo-op. Good grief - the RINO’s will lose this opportunity. Again.
This oughta be good...
I wonder how many more Dhimmie Congress Critters will announce their retirement this week...??
Pure politics. They will just issue non-market T-bills (IOUs) to the SSTF and use the money elsewhere. The fact is that the SSTF represents an unfunded liability, which is why it is included in the national debt under "Intragovernmental Holdings." By putting the money into the SSTF, we are actually increasing the debt.
This is supposed to be an improvement?
He would destroy America to get health insurance we do not want or need. Why?
So he puts this out there 3 days before the Republicans meet for his sham lecture? Why they are going, I’ll never know.
just under the headline Drudge shows Bam at -19%...and the link to the actual “plan” is not even active yet!
Tennessee has joined several other states in trying to pass a Health Care Freedom Act. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military's secondary health ins. (DOD bill already passed, delayed but goes into effect 2011)

Obama says slight fix will extend Social Security

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.)

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.
Snip
The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.
“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.
Bambi doesn't keep his promises...so buyer beware.

Take note Republicans before you head off to surrender at the obamacare summit
“I would rather be a good one-term president” remember?....in his eyes, not in the American people eyes, he will rather go down in 2012 along as he takes American down the road too, into socialism!
More taxes, more govt invasion into individual privacy, more funny money into the imaginary social security lockbox to replace the skittle-crapping unicorns that escaped
what’s not to love about the democrat party’s visionary approach to fundamentally changing this country?
The GOP is gonna go politely applaud this like nice gentlemen?
Wonder if that’s Rasmussen from yesterday—or if he’d down 19 for two days in a row!
POWER
to control by govt bureacrcay, every aspect of individual life from begining to end
Will not survive court challenges and State pre-emptive legislative strikes...
I agree - Power.
He probably wants his term extended to 25 years though. Been attempted in impoverished countries around the world lately.
We ain’t quite ther yet, I think
