Health Bill May Exempt Leadership Aides

[Redleg Duke]

This is too good to be true!

[RJS1950]

That was just for show; to put down the criticism that they had exempted themselves from the program. They will just quietly slip it back into law or give themselves a better deal.

[verity]

I think that your comment says it all. :-)

LOLOL! Thanks for the ping!

Members of Congress DO, CURRENTLY pay into Social Security, and they have for a very long time now.

It is a complete urban legend that they “don’t” pay into that system.

Well, maybe. Let's assume they do “pay into” Social Security.

See, Congress doesn't ever need to “get money from” Social Security - EVER! - because their congressional retirement is based on the number of years in Congress and the rate of pay of their last years’ in office. So Congressional retirement is on the order of 100,000.00 to 180,000.00 dollars. Per year.

So why should (the democrats in) congress care about the relative debt of Social Security for the rest of the taxpayers? They will never need it.

exactly WHO did the “drafting” of the bill, or the various parts thereof?

Glenn Beck thinks it was Apollo Alliance, which is funded by the Tides Foundation. AA was founded by Wade Rathke (ACORN)and Van Jones (former WH czar) and the Tides Foundation is funded by Mrs. Kerry and George Soros.

Funny. (Ha. Ha.)

He takes over 17% of the economy with dictator-driven tactics that evade centuries of legal rules and procedures needed for every other law passed since the nation's beginning ....

Willingly and enthusiastically aided and encouraged by his own media who refused to cover or even admit the lies needed to “justify” the law ....

And we don't even know who wrote the legislation ....

Which was not even read by the “lawyers” and legislature and staffers voting FOR the bill ....

Who did not PERMIT the legislature and aides opposing the bill to even READ it ....

[Arrowhead1952]

Have you read this??

I think it is FUUUNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE.

ROTFLMAO!

Please excuse me for a moment or two. I am having a major schadenfreude moment.

[Schadenfreude is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others]

Of course, those a$$hole congresscritters will “fix” this “problem” in the night Real Soon Now!

[no dems]

THIS IS NO JOKE FOLKS, THIS IS FOR REAL!!! They were discussing this on the FOX BUSINESS CHANNEL during the last hour (6:00 p.m. CDT). The way they made it sound, it's definite that Congress WILL be losing their Health Care Plan.

YA GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

[PGalt]

Thanks for the ping. POS totalitarian statists deserve only 1 kind of care.

[PGalt]

The GOP does not have the nads because the Dems control TV news cause the public sheep pay for cable and sat TV keeping the liberal networks in business. Fox/Saudia is only marginally better. Until the public gets it that TV is used to control them then the GOP will be cowered by the power of the news media.

BUMP!

[PGalt]

The question should be posed as: "WHY haven't can we jailed them yet?"

BUMP!

You can jail 'em, I'll collect the reward from turning them in to the IRS.
Deal?
