I was highly disgusted with Bush when he left office. But not for the reasons the mainstream media didnt like him. I support the war, and most of Bushs social stances. He didnt stick to the conservative blueprint for spending.

Obamas out of his mind. He reminds me of Larry Lanfgord, and every other black mayor of a major metro city in this country. Just because they dont have money doesnt mean they wont spend it. Heck man , just make some more !!!

I agree the fly thing is totally insane. I also agree that 95% of politicians in both parties are out for #1 and out to screw everyone else. Term limits could help some.

Oh and 236 and 600 is 836 billion which is about what Osama has spent so far granted its less than a year into it but we will see in the end. Also there is another group on Abama now … Its PETA for killing a damn turdfly (BI) hahahahahahhahahha do you think that some folks are just out to pile on Obamas back? One thing I have learned is that a political group (DEM or GOP) scroned is WAY worse than a woman!

Ok well when CLinton left office in 01 he left Bush with a 236 billion SURPLUS
and then Bush left the 600 billion dollar DEFicit. Lets explaine that one?
Tax Man we can bat this back and forth forever I beleive,but I think we will come to the same conclusion, The Feds dont care about ME or YOu as a single person. If you know any cops ask them about the GOvernment

I feel the republicans lost power over the last six years because they spent out of control and had several moral and ethical scandals. If people are given a choice between democrats and republicans who kind of act like democrats people will generally elect the real thing. I think there should have never been any bailout, on that we can agree. I feel the surge should have started two years earlier and we should have kept Musharaaf in power. He may have been a military dictator, but at least he could be reasoned with. Those are some thing I feel Bush and the republicans messed up on. However, when Bush left office the deficit was approximately $600 billion. Less than six months into the Obama administration the deficit is 1.8 trillion and the jackass wants to spend at least another 10 trillion over the next ten years to fix a medical system 64% of the people in the US are happy with.

BI,

I agree with you but how did we stray off of the topic? Bush started this Bail Out shit! He bailed out the banks who in turned still forclosed and took our money along with Taxpayer/OUR money! I pay for my own insurance my only objection was BLAMING Obama, as I said BUsh in record time Bailed out MBNA (his biggest financial backer) and the rest of em and noone is calling him out for it. He did nothing and people made excuses for his ignorant ass. @least Obama is trying to make a difference. One more time I DONT ENDORSE OBAMA and if you look back at that great stimulus/bribe money we got last year from Bush, he got that from the WHO? The CHinese! And sunk the majority of it right back into that money pit called IRAQ/AFgan/Pakistan/WAR and gave us a lil to STFU! And we did! I have said it and you can think what you want but there are 2 Gangs in DC not 2 partys and NEITHER care about us as individuals
TaxMan opinions are free also

Tax man……….What do facts have to do with anything. tmc1 said it was goooood. Please. The very fact he said it WAS good turns me off to it even more.

Why in the hell anyone would put the worlds most dysfunctional and ineffecient entity in charge of every thing in our lives is beyond me.

The information below was provided by wiki.

Approximately 43% of Australians also retain private health insurance, even though they are already entitled to free treatment in public hospitals. The major reasons for taking up health insurance despite the free public system are:

1. Shorter waiting lists in private hospitals (especially for procedures such as joint reconstructions or heart bypass surgery, for which there are often long waiting times in public hospitals).
2. Choice of hospital/physician in the private system;

Wiki also mentioned raised taxes in Australia to fund this program. It also stated that to fully fund the program the Aussie’s would have to raise taxes 8% across the board. Newsflash nothing in life is free (except bad advise).

Omni……Our Gov. has a proven track record of screwing the taxpayer. We are taxed too much man. If you cant see the Gov. waste then I pity you. This country was FOUNDED on individual liberty. Our founding fathers are spinning in their graves. Why should it be the governments responsiblity to take provide health care ? We are becoming a socialist state. I dont WANT THE GOV. MEDDLING WERE THEY DONT BELONG. Bottom line , this country cannot afford a national healthcare system. PERIOD. Hell , we couldnt afford the bailout package. He is gonna put this country so far in debt that our grandkids will be speaking CHINESE !!!! People are fgeekin lazy Omni. Thats the problem. Not in every case, but in a lot of cases its the truth. We are becoming a welfare state. ITS NOT THE GOVERNMENTS JOB OR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP YOU EMPLOYED, INSURED, OR HAPPY. THATS OUR JOB. THEY ARENT EVEN RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR PROTECTION. 2ND AMENDMENT ANYONE ???!!!

We are a country full of spineles coardly losers, who dont have the motivation to make it happen for ourselves anymore. Why should we when THE PREZ IS GONNA DO IT ?

tmc1…..YOur exactly right. It might be possible to do. Just not possible for our Gov. to do. Free enterprise will work every time if left alone. The whole housing market meltdown that led to this recesion is because of Gov. meddling in Fannie and Frediie trying to get people who cant oafford homes into homes they cant afford. We all see how that one worked out. Bottom line………..If you cant pay for it , dont buy it…..I love the way Obama uses the ticking time bomb analogy on everything. The only real ticking time bomb is in North Korea and he dosnt say squat about it.

“According to our preliminary assessment, enacting the proposal would result in a net increase in federal budget deficits of about $1.0 trillion”

“At the same time, the number of people who had coverage through an employer would decline by about 15 million (or roughly 10 percent), and coverage from other sources would fall by about 8 million, so the net decrease in the number of people uninsured would be about 16 million or 17 million.”

“These new figures do not represent a formal or complete cost estimate for the draft legislation,”

so let’s recap:

the congressional budget office

(non partisan)

(for those of you in omni-land, that means this isn’t republican talking points)

says that one thousand billion dollars (one trillion) won’t cover but about one third one the uninsured in our country today.

one also has to ask one’s self, considering the past history of government program cost overruns, will one one thousand billion dollars (one trillion) be enough???

i don’t think so.

“Example, going to the Doctors for anything (like my diabetes) is FREE.”

tmc, i hate to lay this on ya, bud:

it ain’t free.

it ain’t free in australia.

it ain’t free in britain.

it ain’t free in canada.

it won’t be free here.

and that’s the problem.

you aren’t owed healthcare. none of us are. i’m not responsible for your’s or anyone else’s healthcare expenses just like i’m not responsible for your house payment, car payment or rent.

i’m not responsible for the healthcare of illegal aliens.

i’m not responsible for those who choose to have a big screen tv but no healthcare insurance.

by the same token, you shouldn’t be responsible for my irresponsibility.

nothing’s free buddy. and certainly nothing from this drunken-sailor-spending, bureaucrat-cockroach ridden, corrupt government.
