Food Stamps

Do you think that some people really deserve food stamps when the first thing they try to do is buy beer and cigarettes with them? How about chips and dips? Some even sell their stamps to other people at 30-40 cents on a dollar for cash to do these things. I'm not saying that all of the 40 million plus people being forced upon the insurance companies are on food stamps, and not all of them do this. But if they were uninsured and could not afford insurance in the first place, what does that tell you? How many are illegals? How many actually work and get money under the table and really don't need food stamps, but get them anyway? And the biggest question of all is who is paying for all of this?

Deadbeats wanted it and now We all have to pay for it!

The U.S. healthcare reform law (OBAMACARE) passed in March is expected to add 32 million Americans to health insurance company rolls. Several groups, including the Institute of Medicine, have forecast shortages of doctors to provide care.

Last month, the Association of American Medical Colleges released new estimates that showed 63,000 more doctors would be needed in 2015 than would be available.

"We evaluated the evidence which has been accumulating now for decades as to the capability of nurses to bridge that gap," said Dr. John Rowe of the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, one of the report's authors.

"There have been concerns in the past that nurses could provide the quality and safety for some areas of primary care. The committee concluded that it was very clear from the evidence that nurses can very effectively and safely ... deliver those primary care services."

The United States has more than 3 million nurses, making them the single largest segment of the healthcare workforce, said the nonpartisan institute, which advises the federal government on medical matters.

It said that states, federal agencies, and healthcare organizations should remove so-called "scope of practice" barriers that limit what nurses may do.

"We really need to use nurses to their full potential," Shalala said.

By 2020, 80 percent of nurses should have a bachelor's degree at least, and 10 percent of them should go on to get a doctorate degree, the report recommends. Many nurses now practice with a two-year certificate.

Negative

Every time I go to a major website I read something negative about the American people. Yahoo had a article written by some unknown dip shit entitled Americans walk half as much as people in other countries. I went to another website and found something that reads obesity in Americans are higher then in other countries.
One site even writes about how Americans don't read as much as people in other countries. The list goes on and on and on about how bad the American people are. My question would be, if we're so bad why in the hell is everyone trying to get to America? I think that the American people are the greatest on earth and America is the best place in the whole world to live in. Every time you surf the web, read a paper, or watch the news, all of these people are constantly putting us down. By God I'm proud to be American, and if you don't like me for what I am get the hell out of Dodge.

Iraq Racks Up Budget Surpluses While U.S. Debt Grows

Iraq has run annual budget surpluses each year since the United States invaded and ousted Saddam Hussein in 2003 — while the U.S. pumped more than half a trillion dollars into Iraq and ran deficits in every one of those years.

In the 6-year period from 2004 through 2009, the Iraqi government amassed a surplus of $52.1 billion, with up to 92.1 percent of its revenues coming from oil exports, according to an audit by the U.S. Government Accountability Office.

During that same period, deficits in six consecutive years boosted the overall U.S. national debt from $6.9 trillion to $12.3 trillion.

Part of that increased debt can be attributed to the $624 billion the U.S. has spent fighting the war to overthrow the Iraqi regime and help the Iraqis set up a democratic government, the GAO observed.

Despite Iraq’s surpluses, on July 29 the U.S. Congress approved $1 billion in “emergency” aid to the Iraqi government, and President Barack Obama is seeking another $2 billion in his fiscal 2011 budget, CNSNews reported.

The GAO also disclosed that the Iraqi government held as much as $32.2 billion in cash on deposit at banks and financial institutions.

“GAO believes that Congress should consider Iraq’s available financial resources when it reviews the administration’s fiscal 2011 budget request and other potential future budget requests for additional funds to train and equip Iraqi security forces,” the GAO stated in its audit report.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, America’s budget deficit exceeded $1.3 trillion for fiscal 2010, which ended Sept. 30 — the second greatest deficit as a percentage of GDP since World War II.

The greatest? The previous year’s $1.4 trillion deficit. www.newsmax.com

No wonder people in other country's disrespect us, they think we're all a bunch of Idiots.

Are You Kidding Me?

Have you seen the one about the exploited maid that was in this country illegally and was making $21 a hour!
Poor thing, I really feel sorry for her!  I was born and worked here in America all my life and I don't make $21 a hour! But I am thinking of giving up my citizenship, leaving the country and coming back here illegally. If a person can get paid more for breaking the law instead of following it, I'm changing my ways! On a serious note, she is probably being paid a lot more by the Democrats to slam her former employee.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

What a joke on America! This person is the ultimate crooked lying politician and she is suppose to be one of the best the Demos can come up with. Well if she is the best they have I would probably cringe at their worst. Have you heard that the democratic party has change their emblem and are trying to change their public image? Well why don't they just throw people like her out of the party and maybe, just maybe they might get one or two more votes!

GOP stars put Fox News in dicey spot

   With Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee all making moves indicating they may run for president, their common employer (FOX NEWS) is facing a question that hasn’t been asked before: How does a news organization cover White House hopefuls when so many are on the payroll?

Nothing 'Free' About Obamacare

Friday, 24 Sep 2010 02:53 PM

    

By: Betsy McCaughey

Whenever you hear the word “free,” you’re forewarned that someone is trying to play you for a fool. Supporters of Obamacare are telling us that the new law offers “free” preventive care. But read the fine print.

What the law actually says is you have to pay 100 percent upfront, in your premium, for any preventive care services such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and quit-smoking programs.

If you decide to get one of these services, insurance companies can’t charge you a copay. But that doesn’t mean you get it for free. You’ve already prepaid.

If you buy the $25 all-you-can eat buffet, the restaurant can’t claim dessert is free.

You may be one of the millions of Americans who just got a premium hike in the mail. One reason is “free” preventive care. Another reason is the ban on lifetime caps.

Until now, most health plans put a lifetime limit on what the insurer will pay. Obamacare outlaws that limit. That’s an attractive change for people with chronic illnesses. But it’s not a freebie either.

In fact, it is the single biggest reason your premium is going up. If you got rid of the cap in your auto insurance or your homeowner’s plan, those premiums would soar too.

Essentially the new law takes away your decision about how much insurance you’re willing to buy. You’re forced to buy the sky’s-the- limit policy and pay the higher premium, whether you want to or not.

When you get more, you have to pay more. There is no tooth fairy.

Premium hikes in the mail, and more down the pike. According to the administration’s own projections released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid on Sept. 9, your premium is going to be higher than if the law hadn’t passed every year through 2019. As far as the eye can see.

Don’t let your Congress member act surprised by this bad news. Members of Congress were warned by the Congressional Budget Office last March, before they voted for the Obama health law, that it would raise premiums.

They knew they were casting a vote to take money out of your pocket. That’s something to remember on Election Day.
