Surprising as a review of some posters comments on this thread regarding ObamaCare seem to understand the long term implications of this 2000 page document that was put together faster than a pizza at a pizza shop. Even Speaker of the House Nancy (straight face) Pelosi acknowledged that the bill had to be passed before they knew what was in it. That's the same way pizza guys in New York make pizza. They can't tell a customer what is in it until it comes out of the oven

Voters have a general distrust of the government and rightly so based on so many years of failures produced by these guardians of the people for the people and by the people. And now we have Pelosi acknowledging before its finished that they don't know what's in it. Hmmmm

We do know that it contains over 20 tax increases. and we do know that millions upon millions of people will immediately be entitled to full medical coverages.....and with an aging population I smell a lot of free face lifts. And we do know that health care providers stocks jumped through the ceiling following the Supreme courts 5-4 majority. And finally we do know that taxpayers whether they like it or not will be paying for abortions.


We do know that at the end of the year the Bush era tax cuts will end, the termporary payroll tax cut will end. We know that 1.2 trillion in spending cuts over the decade are poised to begin. We know that the extended jobless benefits will expire and that the government is approaching the legal limits on borrowing . (Fiscal cliff)

We know for instance that one of the taxes in ObamaCare is a 3.8 % tax on investment income and that added to the increase in investment taxes suggested by Obama will cut investment income by some 30%

We know that the CBO has continually revised its estimate because politicians keeping playing games with the facts. so we know or we don't know how much over budget this program will really be. But we know the government is always over budget because we know taxes grow on trees.

We know corporations are on edge because of all of this "uncertainty" and so they, and rightfully so, sit on piles of cash. I mean who could blame them..Try buying a car when the sales guy continually changes the asking price We need 50,000 no 48,000 no 62,000.

Can anyone on this thread point to one instance when the government costs came under budget? How many bridges to nowhere have they built? And in this present Administration we note a favor of butter over guns leaving us in a similar defensless position as we had in the beginning of WWII and when Clinton Administration.

What struck me most in this thread was that the OP main theme was distractions and following his posts that's all posters did, distraction after diastraction after distraction. voters appear invested in issues like ObamaCare, and I call it ObamaCare because this ego-driven manaic actually beleives he will one day be looked upon as another Lincoln and this will be part of his legacy. Well I call it insanity and so do better than 52- 54% of the population depending on what poll you believe.

"We the people" are being taken for a ride and our loyalty is misplaced whether you are Democrat or Republican because in either party they are eating our lunch.

I said it before, I am afraid that our failing educational system has done its work because most voters are cluless, non-caring and too busy with rock and roll and such things and politicians go about weaving their webbs for America's destruction

My pleas (e-mails, letters, phone calls) to them are not based on the "party agenda" but rather on providing sound leadership and making tough and consistent choices that will spur the economy back

I opine others can decide.
