Demorats Reveal Themselves

Thanks to Bushwack for my theft of the Sharpton video. And thanks to Joe Biden for continuing to be a remarkably excellent source of ignorance.



Sharpton in a rare revelation of the truth.



And Biden as his usual self.

Five days to review any bill online before Mr Obaka signs something crossing his desk?



The Demorats still have no true idea of what they've done. Nor does the rest of the country save a few persons with actual insight as to the realities involved.

One tax -- on tanning salons! -- starts immediately. Today.

19 million students will shortly be overcharged for their tuitions -- their loans now controlled by the federal government -- in order to fund healthcare. Way to go, kids, voting for Mr Obaka!

Seniors in Medicare Advantage are going to find their benefits slashed.

What did Bart Stupak get for his placing a national shiv up the sphincter of taxpayers and subverting this nation? Oh yes, of course; three airports in his district are to receive roughly $700,000 in grants. Mr Stupak sold his vote -- on the promise of an "Executive Order" -- for pennies compared to Mary Landrieu's $300 million "Louisiana Purchase." Stupak became the pivotal vote.

ObakaKare will affect states' budgets. Fourteen states already have filed suit:

States faced with unprecedented declines in tax collections are cutting benefits and payments to hospitals and doctors in Medicaid, the health program for the poor paid jointly by state and U.S. governments. The costs to hire staff and plan for the average 25 percent increase in Medicaid rolls may swamp budgets, said Toby Douglas, who manages the Medicaid program for California, which hasn’t joined the lawsuits.

For California, with a $20 billion budget deficit, the extra load will cost at least an additional $2 billion to $3 billion annually, said Douglas, chief deputy director for California’s health care programs. He said the overhaul is currently projected to add 1.6 million people to the 7 million enrolled in his state’s program.

“We face enormous challenges just sustaining our existing program,” said Douglas in a March 18 telephone interview. “I just don’t see states having the capacity to move forward on these changes in this environment.”

But hey, no problem. We can just cut more cops and more firefighters and release some oppressed inmates in state prisons and revamp our penal codes so that county prisoners only have to do a quarter of their actual sentences. Right? Because, after all, we can't cut welfare or in home care or SEIU employees. Zounds!

Oh Amerika. I shake my head. You have no idea what you've elected and what you've allowed your so-called "representatives" to do. You know: the people who really do not represent you and couldn't care less about what you want.

A "representative Republic"?

Not hardly.
