Kathy Lee, poor California….talk about high debt.   Overpaid state workers, profligate spending on state services and anti-business agriculture, taxation and environmental policies  to the tune of $21 billion in debt.   The state is full of illegals also putting a drain on their programs.   Maybe they should become a country not a state.

Kathy Lee, 440 phantom districts….what did Belinda say?   Well, they made a mistake.   Cough cough!   So, where did the money go?   What a bunch of clowns in the White House.   And they want to run our healthcare program?  This administration has no shame.

Leigh, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Tennessee and Massachusetts healthcare if so way out of control because WHEN IT IS FREE…..PEOPLE ABUSE IT!!!   Medicare and Medicaid costs have exploded!!    The government hasn’t been able to contain it and now they want to pile on another EXPERIMENT and they have no earthly idea how they are going to pay for it.   We cannot pay for the people who are on these systems now in Tennessee and Massachusetts….more states will follow…..a virtual trainwreck!!!    And, the taypayers will have their taxes raised again and again.

Honestly, Kathy Lee, these clowns in Washington KNEW Americans needed jobs NOW.   For them to spend $787 billion of our tax dollars and delay the jobs for two years down the road shows their incompetence.    They have ALREADY misappropriated the money going to districts that do not exist….and they cannot tell us where the money has gone.  

If Obama is correct that the jobs will come later…well, it will be too late….simply too late.

This is exactly the reason why THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO BUSINESS TRYING TO RUN A HEALTHCARE PROGRAM.   THEY HAVE SCREWED UP MEDICARE AND MEDICAID AND OUR SOCIAL SECURITY WILL RUN OUT SOON.    WHAT PART OF STUPID DOES THE GOVERNMENT NOT UNDERSTAND?

Honestly, True Grit, it’s a miracle that so many Americans are speaking up in his first year!   Americans do not trust him and they now realize his inexperience has hurt our country.   He simply chose the wrong direction to turn the economy around and keep unemployment down.  

I’m in agreement about what his real agenda is….he isn’t fooling anyone anymore.

Hi Liz!

Thank you for your usual fine and well researched Friday thread.  

If a certain group commissions a study one might expect a certain result to reflect the agenda.  That’s the way it is usually done.    This mammogram study that advocates fewer mammograms was released by the U. S. Preventive Service Task Force, a government backed physician group as you stated.     13% of women were diagnosed with breast cancer between the ages of 20-44.  Before Obamacare is yet to be passed….here comes a government backed group publishing a study with results that pits the task force against The American Cancer Society.     Bad timing.   Bad study.   Women aren’t buying this information and could care less that it would be more cost effective.   This is just the beginning of reduced healthcare IF the healthcare bill goes through.   Personally, I don’t believe it will be passed because it’s wrong for 85% of Americans who already have healthcare they trust and it could raise the premiums they are already paying to their private healthcare companies.    Now we are learning that is suggested that we make adjustments on pap smears.   They want to space it out.   As women, we know that cervical cancer is a silent killer.   When you have symptoms the cancer has been there awhile.    Interesting that defensive medicine which has helped save lives is now targeted as a cost cutter.   Ladies first?

Some economists say we are just Waiting for the Trainwreck.  Some are predicting that in our next downturn the Fed will not be able to cut interest rates because inflation will be spiraling, as in l980.   So interest rates will have to be raised and unemployment will appraoch 15% and the banks will experience a tsumami of collapsed credit card debt.   2011 and 2012 are predicted to be unpleasant years as this administration struggles to get closer to budget balance without pushing up taxes so far as to cause yet a third recession.    Too bad President Obama would not follow in Ronald Reagan’s footsteps after Jimmy Carter handed him inflation, a recession and a deficit.   We all know what Ronny did to turn the economy around.   He focused entirely on our small businesses KNOWING if he didn’t there would be major job losses.   Reagan also pulled this country together and did not use fear tactics to get his policies through.   He was a wonderful American President.   This country could use another Ronald Reagan today.   He didn’t believe in the government providing a soft place to land if you made the wrong choices.

A double dip recession could happen to America because this administration didn’t really know what to do with the first one.   They have been in the White House experimenting with how our tax dollars should be spent.  We need a leader.   What we got was a President so focused on getting a healthcare bill passed with his name on it that he didn’t pay  attention to what the American people were saying.   We need jobs.   Even though they sold the $787 billion failed stimulus with fear tactics stating it would bring the jobs, we know now that they failed to deliver.   They did, however, did deliver to the special interest groups and their big campaign donors.   Seems that was their priority.

America, I, for one, am glad you are awake.   Although I really don’t like to see a president’s popularity rating drop to 46%, in this case it tells me that true Americans who value their country and their constitution, freedom and liberty will not sit back and let a far left leaning president, especially one who isn’t listening to them, get a second term.  

I’m tired of President Obama and his experiments.   This country is in free fall from the mountains to the seas because of misplaced presidential priorities, bandaid bailouts, bank and auto industry bailouts and soon to arrive Son of Stim.   This administration isn’t getting the job done.   In fact, they have enhanced this recession which may lead to another….1980 double dip recession.   Seems this administration could’ve done a bit of research. 

Too bad we don’t have a strong President we can trust to do the right thing.   It’s as though American has a dark cloud over it from the east coast to the west coast.   I believe Obama put it there.

Indeed, canuck canuck.   There hasn’t been transparency since the beginning of the campaign.   I have to agree that the republicans are better prepared this time around.   Sarah Palin is a threat.   I never knew how much.   She lost in 2008 and is not running for anything and yet she is getting more attention than all of the other politicians combined.

Her book, which I am reading now, will be purchased and read by the middle class.   They will find a rogue politician.   They will back a winner in 2012 if she runs.   She didn’t need to reinvent herself like Obama did when he published his first book.   I still shake my head at the number of racist comments Obama made throughout his book.   Stunning.
