Timothy Geithner is an an unqualified propagandist who has fabricated a recovery from whole cloth...

Without small businesses generating jobs, there is no recovery.

Small businessmen in Wisconsin paid for this sign. Seems like a trend.

Take off your clothes, open your books, spread your legs, and bend over--there ain't nothin' gonna be private in your life again ever

Take a look at what actually is in the Health Care bill. Obama makes disingenuous comments like "You'll still keep your doctor" or "You'll keep your existing health care." He is either lying to us or he has no idea what is in it. Take a peek at the full report, or look at some of the highlights here:

Pg 22 of the HC Bill mandates the Government will audit books of all employers that self insure. Can you imagine what that will do to small businesses? Every one will abandon “self insurance” and go on Government insurance. So when Obama says that there will still be private health care, it’s simply a lie: this mandate will force employers to abandon their private plans.

Pg 30 (Sec 123) of HC bill – A Government committee (good luck with that!) will decide what treatments/benefits a person may receive.

Pg 29 (lines 4-16) in the HC bill - YOUR HEALTHCARE WILL BE RATIONED! (We all knew this, because health care is rationed in Canada and Britain, but Obama kept saying it would not be).

Pg 42 of HC Bill – The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your HC Benefits for you. You will have no choice!

Pg 50 (Section 152) in HC bill - HC will be provided to ALL non US citizens, illegal or otherwise.

Pg 124 (lines 24-25) HC - No company can sue Government on price fixing. No "judicial review" against Government Monopoly.

Pg 127 (Lines 1-16) HC Bill - Doctors/ AMA - The Government will tell YOU what you can earn.

Pg 145 (Line 15-17) An Employer MUST auto enroll employees into public option plan. NO CHOICE.

Pg 170 (Lines 1-3) HC Bill - Any NONRESIDENT Alien is exempt from individual taxes. (Americans will pay.)

Pg 195 HC Bill - Officers and employees of HC Admin (the GOVERNMENT) will have access to ALL Americans’ finances and personal records.

Pg 203 (Lines 14-15) HC - "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax..." Yes, it says that.

Pg 239 (Lines 14-24) HC Bill Government will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors, low income, poor affected.

Pg 241 (Lines 6-8) HC Bill – Doctors – doesn’t matter what specialty – will all be paid the same.

Pg 253 (Lines 10-18) Government sets value of Doctor’s time, professional judgment, etc. Literally, value of humans.

Pg 265 (Sec 1131) Government mandates and controls productivity for private HC industries.

Pg 268 (Sec 1141) Federal Government regulates rental and purchase of power driven wheelchairs.

Pg 272 (SEC. 1145) TREATMENT OF CERTAIN CANCER HOSPITALS - Cancer patients - welcome to rationing!

Pg 280 (Sec 1151) The Government will penalize hospitals for what Government deems preventable readmissions.

Pg 298 (Lines 9-11) Doctors who treat a patient during initial admission that results in a readmission - Government will penalize you.

Pg 425 (Lines 4-12) Government mandates Advance Care Planning Consultations. Think "Senior Citizens end of life prodding".

Pg 425 (Lines 17-19) Government will instruct and consult regarding living wills, durable powers of attorney. Mandatory!

Pg 425 (Lines 22-25), Pg 426 (Lines 1-3) Government provides approved list of end of life resources, guiding you in how to die.

Pg 427 (Lines 15-24) Government mandates program for orders for end of life. The Government has a say in how your life ends.

Pg 429 (Lines 1-9) An "Advanced Care Planning consultant" will be used frequently as patients’ health deteriorates.

Pg 429 (Lines 10-12) "Advanced Care consultation" may include an ORDER for end of life plans. AN ORDER from the Government to end a life!

Pg 429 (Lines 13-25) - The Government will specify which Doctors can write an end of life order.

Pg 430 (Lines 11-15) The Government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.

Pg 469 Community Based Home Medical Services/Non profit orgizations (ACORN Medical Services here?)

Pg 472 (Lines 14-17) PAYMENT TO COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION. One monthly payment to a community-based organization. (Like ACORN?)

Pg 489 (Sec 1308) The Government will cover Marriage and Family therapy. Which means they will insert Government into our marriages.

Pg 494-498 Government will cover Mental Health Services including defining, creating, rationing those services. You’d better speak up now before you are on the "Advanced Care consultation" list.

Health Reform’s Hidden Victims

Young people and seniors would pay a high price for ObamaCare.

By JOHN FUND

Wall Street Journal, July 24, 2009

President Barack Obama’s health-care sales pitch depends on his ability to obfuscate who is likely to get hurt by reform. At Wednesday’s news conference, for example, he was asked “specifically what kind of pain and sacrifice” he would ask of patients in order to achieve the cost savings he promises.

He insisted he “won’t reduce Medicare benefits” but instead would “make delivery more efficient.” The most Mr. Obama would concede is that some people will have to “give up paying for things that don’t make you healthier.” That is simply not credible.

While Democrats on Capitol Hill dispute claims that individuals will lose their existing coverage under their reform plans, on other issues many Democrats privately acknowledge some people will indeed get whacked to pay for the new world of government-dominated health care.

Democrats have been brilliant in keeping knowledge about the pain and sacrifice of health reform from the very people who would bear the brunt of them. They’ve done so by convincing health-care industry groups not to run the kind of “Harry and Louise”-style ads that helped sink HillaryCare in 1993.

Sen. Tom Coburn (R., Okla.) says the pressure not to run ads has been “intense, bordering on extortion.” “Groups were told if they did they’d give up their seat at the table,” says former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. “What they weren’t told is that they’d be at the table as lunch.”

Here are some of the groups on the menu if anything like the existing Senate or House health plans become law:

The article discusses each of these

• Young people.
  
  
• Small Businesses.
  
  
• Health Savings Account (HSA) holders
  
  
• Medicare Advantage users.

And then it finishes with this warning:

In 1965, Sen. Allen Ellender (D., La.) dismissed promises that Medicare would be a modest program to save seniors from bankruptcy. “Let us not be so naïve as to believe that the Medicare program will not be increased from year to year to the point that the government will have to impose more taxes on the little man or else take the necessary money out of the Treasury,” he told colleagues.

Ellender was right, and his warning is even more relevant in our era of skyrocketing deficits and Medicare costs. The only way the House and Senate health plans can pass is if the costs they impose on vulnerable parts of the population continue to be hidden.

Obama saves government--not jobs!

During his Saturday radio address to the nation President Obama let slip his administration's real purpose for the stimulus legislation...Balancing state budgets that are under stress is an excellent electoral strategy because it prepositions allies that can be counted on in 2012.

The Government Won’t Let You Succeed

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

A man I know lost his job due to outsourcing. After a long time of not being able to find a new job he decided to cash in his retirement and go into business. Seeing that governments are pushing echo friendly enterprises he decided not to fight the trend and engage in some form of a business that won’t get caught up in government restrictions.

He first thought about starting an organic farm, growing organic vegetables, fruits, and raising range chickens. So he started looking for some farm land. He found plenty for sales but when he inspected the properties they were just dried up barren land. So he enquired as to what it would take to irrigate it. He found out that only an act of God could do that. The government won’t let him have the water he needs because it appears that a non-indigenous fish is more important then providing organic food for people, frustrating.

Ok, so he decided to go into the power business and build a wind farm. He put together a business plan with lots of wind mills generating electricity. He went and got a bunch of permits and applied for a loan. After running all over the state getting permits and a loan promise from the bank the EPA turned him down. Why, because the blades of the wind mills might get in the way of various birds and even kill them.

Ok, determined to go into some kind of a business he decide to manufacture solar panels and even maybe set up a field of solar panels generating electricity. After much investigation and planning he ran into another brick wall put up by the government. To make solar panels you need silicone. Well the EPA doesn’t want silicone manufactured in the USA. He found out that most (if not all) solar panels will be manufactured in China and India.

Is our government as stupid as human waste or are they determined to reduce America to third world nation? These are the only two alternatives. Our economy is being pummeled by OPC and the government says we are too dependent on foreign oil. At the same time our government won’t let us drill domestic sources (of which we have plenty) for oil and natural gas. On top of that our government puts up obstacles to generate our energy needs in other ways. Our government just does not want the people to be prosperous. We can’t produce the energy we need nor grow the crops to feed us even when we try to go along with all government’s mandates.

Our government is determined to rob us of all our own initiative and ability of self reliance. If we the people allow this to continue we will be totally dependent a totalitarian government. We will be in a huge concentration camp doing the biding of big brother. The only thing we citizens can do is to replace the scoundrels running this country with those who will take the roll of governing for the people and not against them. We all need to get more involved in vetting possible candidates and then making sure the right people get elected.

The Obama Flip-Flops You DON'T know about

Since winning the election, President Barack Obama has famously flip-flopped on many of the major issues that he championed on the campaign trail. But did you know he’s also flip-flopped on a myriad of less publicized issues?
