How Is Obamacare Working Out for You?

"a billion dollars to the Muslim Brotherhood, 3 billion to destroy cars and untold billions wasted bringing in, educating, insuring and housing illegals."

Because, thanks to the same google, this is what I read about what the recent federal excise increase has gone to:

"On February 4, 2009, the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 was signed into law, which raised the federal tax rate for cigarettes on April 1, 2009 from $0.39 per pack to $1.01 per pack.[8][9] The purpose of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) is to provide aid for impoverished children. SCHIP expanded its coverage of liability (in 2009) to include families with up to three times the federal poverty level as well as children from high-income families in New York and New Jersey. SCHIP is proposed to also cover dental benefits and treatment of mental illnesses where it previously did not exist. In addition to providing these services for U.S. citizens, SCHIP is also expanded to cover immigrant children and immigrant pregnant women.[10]"

Maybe that's what you meant by "educating, insuring and housing illegals?" Getting health care to poor kids and pregnant women? Dude, you're harsh.

And there but for the grace of god (or the flying spaghetti monster, or woden) go all of us.
I deal every day with people from every walk of life. I think it has really helped me to learn, to understand, and to have some empathy. Many of us are a catastophe or less away from having a completely changed life.

There is an article on the 'fringe' news sites about 3 billion of the treasury being used to fund the ongoing lie that is Obamacare.

No big deal.

Most people don't have a clue what 3 billion dollars is unless you say it's more money than all the money Oprah, Michael Jordan and Kim Kardashian have.

Meanwhile getting all riled up if someone from the WalMart family buys a $30 million apartment in NYC ignoring 3 billion could buy a 100 of them.

Then again the President spent 3 billion on Cash for Clunkers over 2 weekends and the lemmings applauded.

Yes the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan were disastrous and any President that would continue to spend right after that disaster is either a moron or hates this country.

That link doesn't justify the continued spending of this idiot we have in office.

And remember Hillary voted for Iraq.

A lot of democrats voted for it. Just like the Republicans have bent over and took it in the ass on immigration, budgets, etc.

False left-right paradigm continues due to partisan bickering.

Both parties are useless and destroying this country. All part of the plan.

Massive direct spending on the two imperialist interventions continues.

Nice to know Harvard's Kennedy School of Government now considers us an Imperialist nation as opposed to a Democracy.

Dell my point is that both parties are destroying this country.

And on that I agree with you.

If only we could have the 'Greatest Generation' back.

One's who valued independence from government as opposed to dependence on government.

Where actions meant more than feelings.
