That's
Sick
 It's
no secret that President Obama's health
care plan owes much to Governor Romney's Massachusetts
health care plan. But now Romney is in the peculair
position of having to run against his own plan as
good Republican's can NEVER
say that
Democratic legislation is a good idea.
Mittens has yet to come right out and say what his
alternative would be but he's dropped enough hints
for us to know
that his new health care plan
should
be
called
the
"Thrown
to
the Wolves"
plan.
Basically it's a new tax deduction with no regulation
of the health care industry, so it won't take long
before health care prices begin sky-rocketing.
Yeah, doesn't sound like a good idea to me, either.
Ideally we need single-payer health care, the same
system as most civilized countries in the western
world. Obamacare is not perfect but it is, at least,
baby-steps
designed to
wean us away from the co-dependent abuse of insurance
companies. We're moving in the right direction but
we'll never completely escape the grasp of the insurance
giants with corporate sops like Romney at the helm.
Update: I just listened to Mitt Romney's
"acceptance" speech in New Hampshire. Did
you know that Barack Obama kidnapped
the Lindberg baby? It's TRUE, because Romney said
it!
I plan on adding a "Romney Lies" page to this site.
Mitt just gave me a big, fat, juicy target to aim
at.

that pizza

Notes, Notes, and More Notes.
Economics: Two Nobel Prize-winning
economists put the lie to Republican
bunk that higher taxes
on the rich will hurt economic growth.
Politics: President Obama's
new health care plan will save Medicare over $200
billion dollars by 2016. Is there no end to
this man's incompetence?
Sleaze: In order to be hired
at his new job Richard
Grenell had
to
remove 800 of his Twitter posts that were hateful
or offensive to women. What's his job? He's
Mitt Romney's new spokesman. HE'S MITT ROMNEY'S
NEW SPOKESMAN.
Science: Using cocaine
will rot your brain. Wow, what a surprise.
Heresy: Because, you know, a
Buddhist replacing
your muffler would just be silly.

Republican Job Creation Update
 4-25-2012: The
House spent the day busying itself with the legislative
version of cleaning its room. In this case it meant
passing bills that dealt with adjustments to the
boundaries of
parklands,
land swaps, and the like. No jobs, or anything remotely
like them, were created.
