Comments on: In Their Own Words: Obamacare Is Massive New Entitlement That Worsens Our Fiscal Crisis http://blog.heritage.org/2009/11/10/in-their-own-words-obamacare-is-massive-new-entitlement-that-worsens-our-fiscal-crisis/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:27:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: On Health Care « Pond’rings http://blog.heritage.org/2009/11/10/in-their-own-words-obamacare-is-massive-new-entitlement-that-worsens-our-fiscal-crisis/#comment-68456 On Health Care « Pond’rings Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:02:28 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=19620#comment-68456 [...] The Foundry also has a quote from the New Yorker, a strongly left of center magazine, on the real costs of the health insurance proposals. The future cost savings that the Administration and its congressional allies are promising to deliver are based on wishful thinking and sleight of hand. Over time, the reform, as proposed, would almost certainly add substantially to the budget deficit, thereby worsening the long-term fiscal crisis that the country faces. -The New Yorker, via The Foundry [...] [...] The Foundry also has a quote from the New Yorker, a strongly left of center magazine, on the real costs of the health insurance proposals.

It's worse every where else. This is why we need to protect the USA as the last bastion of liberty. This must be stopped. Put pressure on your Senators! Bobbie, I think BHO promised this to guys like Sorros. Maybe he even promised it to Allah. Who knows?! What we do know is he is not thinking about America or Americans.

It certainly isn't the American people. So, who? This wasn't thought of overnight. This attack has been planned. Who did Obama promise this to? It certainly isn't the American people. So, who?

Knowing full well that we can do nothing about it. Fair warning friends, many of us are saying "if this thing passes the senate, there will be hell to pay at the polls" Guess what, if it passes, it won't matter anymore, it will be over. It needs to stop now! They are now so completely and fully arrogant that they feel they can boldly state the absolute truth and rub our noses in it. Knowing full well that we can do nothing about it.

They KNOW this system cannot sustain itself. For many it is the goal and achievement of a life-time. History will not remember congressional proponents of this sick mess so kindly. These people will be linked forever to one of the root causes which destroyed America - the self-imposed annihalation of capitalism and thus America. Many of the proponents will be out of office and will blame others. Some will have died through natural causes. Those remaining will be the same ones who don't have enough sense to come out of the rain during a thunderstorm. They will say, "We meant well. We must have received flawed data. It's not our fault." This is why THEY must be stopped. And, it starts with our congress people having the dignity and responsibility to PUT AMERICA FIRST and not be bought off. Politics as usual will destroy us. The VOTERS must act. The VOTERS must watch their representatives and hold them accountable. They KNOW exactly what they are doing. They KNOW this system cannot sustain itself.

Many of the proponents will be out of office and will blame others. Some will have died through natural causes. Those remaining will be the same ones who don’t have enough sense to come out of the rain during a thunderstorm.

They will say, “We meant well. We must have received flawed data. It’s not our fault.”

This is why THEY must be stopped. And, it starts with our congress people having the dignity and responsibility to PUT AMERICA FIRST and not be bought off.

Politics as usual will destroy us. The VOTERS must act. The VOTERS must watch their representatives and hold them accountable.

This is certainly true to a large extent. However the more immediate funding for this extended health care is expected to come from small businesses who will either be forced to provide health care to their employees or pay a stiff penalty for not doing so. This will break the back of thosands of small businesses who traditionally have fueled the recovery from recession and unemployment. But a lack of available credit and now additional taxes will ensure that we will not experience any serious recovery for a very long time.
