Is there a doctor in the house?

So, things are going pretty good huh?

Administration officials insist they can make changes to the program to ensure it lasts until 2014, and that it may not have to turn away sick people.

Officials said the administration could also consider reducing benefits under the program, or redistributing funds between state pools.

But they acknowledged turning some people away was also a possibility.

Stay healthy… your life depends on it.

We STILL can’t spend our way out of debt!

Jeffrey — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 09:34:13 +0000

Last year I described what I believe the problem with bailouts was. Simply that you can not spend money you don’t have to pay down on a debt (dahh, that creates a debt).

Well, as predicted the Ponzi scheme didn’t work and… inflation is coming. Inflation and more taxes (and health care.. but that is another topic).

Anyway, here is the problem:
o The government is spending to much of our money.

And the solution is:
o Stop spending Use the Fed to manipulate the value of a dollar and also raise taxes on every working American

And when that doesn’t work (because we will loose jobs) we will hear how legalizing 20 million criminals will solve all our financial woes.

The bleeding continues….

You be the Judge

Fear not. Uncle Sam to the rescue!

With “Air America” resting eternally in the recycle bin of unwanted ideas, a call for rebirth has arisen from the stink pile.

Liberal media has been unable to compete with Conservative media outlets. All liberal media sources have taken a rigorous whipping by the American people and replaced by Fox, Drudge, NewsMax, and Rush.

So, what can the libs do to compete? hmmmm, how about:

PBS, NPR Stations Get $10M Infusion for Local News direct from tax payers pockets. And to even things out these new “News Stations” will be initially targeting the Southwest, the Plains states, the upper Midwest, upstate New York and central Florida. (did they miss any swing states?)

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting which is a nonprofit organization created and funded by Congress, is the ultimate in media bias and cannot survive broadcasting it’s stench without reaching into our pockets to fund it.

NPR and PBS stations in each region will collaborate on covering key issues, including immigration, agribusiness, the economy and health care.

I really feel sick now

To pay for the changes, the legislation includes more than $400 billion in higher taxes over a decade, roughly half of it from a new Medicare payroll tax on individuals with incomes over $200,000 and couples over $250,000. A new excise tax on high-cost insurance policies was significantly scaled back in deference to complaints from organized labor.

In addition, the bills cut more than $500 billion from planned payments to hospitals, nursing homes, hospices and other providers that treat Medicare patients. An estimated $200 billion would reduce planned subsidies to insurance companies that offer a private alternative to traditional Medicare.

The insurance industry warned that seniors would face sharply higher premiums as a result, and the Congressional Budget Office said many would return to traditional Medicare as a result.

The subsidies are higher than those for seniors on traditional Medicare, a difference that critics complain is wasteful, but insurance industry officials argue goes into expanded benefits.

The bill requires insurers to charge people with pre-existing conditions the same as everyone else, and the only reason for people not to play the system (dropping their insurance until they get sick and the insurer has to take them) is because the law requires them to buy insurance or pay a fine. For many people, the fine will be a cheap price to avoid premiums that could run around $8,000 a year for a family of four. The effect of the legislation could be to cause the number of healthy people with insurance to fall dramatically — and for premiums to rise, which would cause more people to drop their insurance and premiums will rise, and even less people will be insured…
And so it goes.

Oh, have I thanked you lately for the change you brought to me?
Don’t hold your breath…

A proud American

I recieved this in an email today and could not help to pass it on.

At a time when our president and other politicians tend to apologize for our country`s prior actions, here`s a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country.
　
　
These are good　
　
　
JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60′s when DeGaule decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaule said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
　
Rusk responded “does that include those who are buried here?
　
　
DeGuale did not respond.
　
You could have heard a pin drop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~　
　
　
When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.
　
　
He answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders.

The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.’
　
　
You could have heard a pin drop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
　
There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying ‘Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier toIndonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intended to do, bomb them?’
　
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: ‘Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck.

We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?’
　　
You could have heard a pin drop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
　
A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S. , English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, ‘Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?’
　
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, ‘Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.’
　
　
You could have heard a pin drop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
　
AND THIS STORY FITS RIGHT IN WITH THE ABOVE…
　
Robert Whiting , an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
　
“You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked sarcastically.
　
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
　
“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”
　
The American said, ‘The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”
　
“Impossible. Americans always have to show your passports on arrival in France !”
　
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.”
　　
You could have heard a pin drop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~　
　
　
If you are proud to be an American, pass this link on!
　
　
I am proud to be of this land, AMERICA

Hope AND change!

The tide is turning!

Christmas incident was “screw up”?????

Jeffrey — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:54:14 +0000

This may be the understatement of the new decade. Christmas incident was “screw up” – Obama said

Oh, a “screw up”…
Heck , at least it wasn’t serious.
Nice work Mr President…

Come to think of it, the big “screw up” happened last November and will continue to baffle us for another 2 1/2 years.

“incident”? An incident is when a waiter spills water on your lap, not what you call a terrorist attack that failed only because of the terrorist’s incompetence!

Furthermore:

From the “Jeff Ring” urban dictionary.

A “screw up” is…
when you leave the dog food in the shopping cart.
when you bring a pitching wedge into the sand trap.
when you lock your keys in the car.
when your wife doesn’t put the seat back up when she is done.
when you buy 2% instead of whole milk.
when you leave your phone on during a meeting.
when you get in an elevator that is going down, and you want to go up.
when your puppy pees on the floor because you didn’t bring him out.

A “screw up” is not…
when the president bows to everyone.
when you call your wife your girl friend’s name.
when you run a red light and hit someone.
when an Al-Quada trained terrorist on a watch list boards a plane with no luggage, carrying a bomb, without a passport, attempts to detonate the bomb… and by shear incompetence on his part… burns his private area instead of killing 300 people.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all those who wanted this change.

Thanks a bunch and enjoy the flight.

I still feel sick

Jeffrey — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 02:46:56 +0000

Seems like the Democrats have the 60 votes to ram health care up our butts. So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who voted this money from my pockets by electing these criminals. Thanks a bunch.

The health care bill would create a new stream of government subsidies to help people buy health insurance, largely through private plans. The subsidies would be available to those buying coverage through a new insurance supermarket called an exchange.

How would these subsidies be paid for? You and I will pay for them, silly!

Isn’t America great? Land of the free and the home of the screwed.

Before you vote again pick up a copy the the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution and brush up on proper voting techniques.

A real plan to ponder

Jeffrey — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:07:12 +0000

Mr. President,
A fix for $40 million.

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America ‘s economy. Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the “Patriotic Retirement Plan”:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.

It can’t get any easier than that!!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes…
Mr. President, while you’re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I’ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

And quite frankly… a value at twice the price!

So, what could you do with $700 Bbbbbbbbbbillion to stimulate things?

Let’s discuss it! The Modern Constitutionalist.com
