I know that many of you are angry and frustrated that REPUBLICANS! In congress are dragging their feet and trying to block TRUE healthcare reform. What republicans want is just a taxpayer bailout of the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance industry, and the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare industry. A trillion dollar taxpayer funded private health insurance bailout is all you really get without a robust government-run public option available on day one. Co-OP’s ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A GOVERNMENT-RUN PUBLIC OPTION. They are a fraud being pushed by the GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance industry that is KILLING YOU!

YOU CANT HAVE AN INSURANCE MANDATE WITHOUT A ROBUST PUBLIC OPTION. MANDATING PRIVATE FOR PROFIT HEALTH INSURANCE AS YOUR ONLY CHOICE WOULD BE A DISASTER AND UNETHICAL, CORRUPT, AND MORALLY REPUGNANT. AND PROBABLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AS WELL.

These industries have been slaughtering you and your loved ones like cattle for decades for profit. Including members of congress and their families. These REPUBLICANS are FOOLS!

Republicans and their traitorous allies have been trying to make it look like it’s President Obama’s fault for the delays, and foot dragging. But I think you all know better than that. President Obama inherited one of the worst government catastrophes in American history from these REPUBLICANS! And President Obama has done a brilliant job of turning things around, and working his heart out for all of us.

But Republicans think you are just a bunch of stupid, idiot, cash cows with short memories. Just like they did under the Bush administration when they helped Bush and Cheney rape America and the rest of the World.

But you don’t have to put up with that. And this is what you can do. The Republicans below will be up for reelection on November 2, 2010. Just a little over 13 months from now. And many of you will be able to vote early. So pick some names and tell their voters that their representatives (by name) are obstructing TRUE healthcare reform. And are sellouts to the insurance and medical lobbyist.

Ask them to contact their representatives and tell them that they are going to work to throw them out of office on November 2, 2010, if not before by impeachment, or recall elections. Doing this will give you something more to do to make things better in America. And it will make you feel better too.

There are many resources on the internet that can help you find people to call and contact. For example, many social networking sites can be searched by state, city, or University. Be inventive and creative. I can think of many ways to do this. But be nice. These are your neighbors. And most will want to help.

I know there are a few democrats that have been trying to obstruct TRUE healthcare reform too. But the main problem is the Bush Republicans. Removing them is the best thing tactically to do. On the other hand. If you can easily replace a democrat obstructionist with a supportive democrat, DO IT!

You have been AMAZING!!! my people. Don’t loose heart. You knew it wasn’t going to be easy saving the World.

God Bless You

kinda like saying charlie manson and pol pot were both murderers. It doesn’t provide the moral superiority that is truly ‘befitting’ one, over the other.

last projection I heard, was that obama would need 10 trillion of debt to cover his spending. Bush was like dying of cancer, while obama is just a blunt object to the head.

To initiate an advance on the lengthy economic turnaround, the joy ride of debt-spending-with-wanton-abandon mindset enjoyed by Bush and continued by Obama must be brought to a close.

Here come the real tax increases on Everybody.

the same one that will have to be revised from a predicted 8% unemployment as their working number for tax revenue.

And the timing of the positive surprise in GDP “advance estimates” to be revised Aug. 27 along with the upward revisions of what was inherited.
Please do some real reporting on how government departments of Commerce and Labor could just possibly make positive moves that surprised outside experts.

We all know the housing debockle started the economic decline, and it was outrageous that Greenspan said he could not foresee it coming – I and my peers certainly did, although at the time, we didn’t see it having the level of devastation that it has had.

I look at this anticipated recovery a little like losing weight – if we recover in a slower and more methodical manner, making meaningful changes and as a nation coming together to rebuild our economic system, then maybe the severity of the next recession (which you can bet there will be another recession), won’t be as catastrophic.

What I haven’t seen are measures to ensure against some of the past mistakes from occurring again. Why hasn’t there been an overhaul of the SEC? Why hasn’t there been any information about changes and replacing those in charge who were responsible for people like Madoff to exist? Why is the current administration not requiring the banks to start lending again. Why is private industry not being allowed to borrow – but instead are barely hanging on? Why aren’t consumers with good credit allowed to refinance their homes to more competitive rates if their balances exceed Fannie Mae limits? I think there are a lot of crucial areas for improvement that the Press is not addressing on a daily basis as much as they should.
