Today he used our money, the "stimulant" package, to buy the Nebraska vote to get it through the senate, just like he used it to buy the Louisiana vote to get it through the house.

I added up my federal, state, and property taxes. If I was paying the full cost of my health insurance (employer shares cost), my taxes would be about $3,000 LESS than the cost of my health insurance. I get a of a lot more for my tax dollars than I do from my health iinsurance. But, I am so glad I am paying all that so the insurance CEOs can afford gas, car payments, and nice vacations. ...

CBO estimates IRS will need nearly 17,000 new agents to look for people who don't buy a government-mandated insurance policy. This is basically going to be another reason to audit tax returns, and people who don't comply will essentially be treated like tax evaders with the IRS using its "normal" powers of enforcement by levyings fines, penalties and liens against bank accounts, seizing property, etc. And, assuming that the IRS will fold this into its usual enforcement operations, ...

By The Associated PressMonday, December 21st, 2009 -- 8:55 am DAVID ESPOAP News Dec 21, 2009 07:22 EST Health care bill backed by Obama clears key Senate test on party line vote Landmark health care legislation backed by President Barack Obama passed its sternest Senate test in the pre-dawn hours early Monday, overcoming Republican delaying tactics on a 60-40 vote that all but assures its passage by Christmas.

"With Democrats pressing for passage this week, Senate Republicans, backed by their leader, Mitch McConnell, attempted to attach controversial legislation calling for possible new sanctions on Iran that President Barack Obama opposes."

(As you can see, this was not a Democratic initiative. So much for Democrats banning Republican ideas.) By Gavin DahlSunday, March 28th, 2010 -- 4:57 pm Buried in the landmark health care bill passed by Democrats is $250 million over 5 years for state programs to try to convince young people to wait until marriage for sex. Proponents of abstinence-only education are thrilled, but there is little evidence this money will be effective in fighting pregnancy or HIV. "We're very happy to see ...

In fact, the Senate is counting on raising $120 billion in new taxes over the next 10 years, the majority of which will come from the middle class. Another $30 billion is expected to roll in from the actual tax on insurance plans, but far more comes from wages. "This is a big tax on the middle class," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former director of the Congressional Budget Office, noting that 95 percent of people with the so-called Cadillac plans make under $250,000. And that tax, critics sa ...

By Sahil KapurMonday, January 11th, 2010 -- 8:14 pm Far from overreaching on health care reform, a plurality of the public thinks President Obama and Democrats have done too little to regulate the insurance industry, hold down costs and extend coverage, a new poll finds. Forty-three percent of Americans said the health care bill goes "not far enough" in regulating health insurance companies, according to a new CBS survey released Monday evening. Just 18 percent deemed it "about right" and 27 p ...

Well - for those of you who followed my thread 1-2 months ago - my divorce was finalized yesterday (on what would have been our anniversary). It was a very quick process - 8 weeks from finding out he was cheating on me. The tears are coming a little less frequency and i'm trying every day to let the anger part go. He has taken a job 3 states and 900+ miles away. For that i'm sad for my 10 year old boy. I'm a single child and my parents live 4 hours aw ...

You do know that so-called stand-your-ground, concealed-carry, "castle-doctrine," and many other laws and regulations having to do with arming the population to the teeth have been pushed by corporatist business cartels like ALEC, and the gun industry, and the myriad astroturf front groups and think tanks they fund, right? http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/04/08/1200000/-You-do-know-they-want-people-to-shoot-each-other-dead-right-I-m-just-checking ...

Oblunder sent $221 million to the Palestinians in direct opposition to the GOP. I guess his fellow Muslims needed the money more than Americans (particularly homeless vets). So glad he's gone! I wonder what the Palestinians will use the money for. Of course, they will say one thing, but do another. IMO, it will probably go toward funding more radical Muslim extremist group(s). ...

Nickolaus apologized Thursday for the error, saying the most significant error occurred when she entered but did not save totals from the city of Brookfield, a suburb of Milwaukee. "This is not a case of extra votes or extra ballots being found," Nickolaus said. "This is human error, which I apologize for." Kloppenburg's campaign manager, Melissa Mulliken, demanded a full explanation of how the error occurred and said an open records request for all relevant documents would be filed. Ram ...

Guess it's back to the drawing board. It's true that a commission that began with only limited authority failed in its most significant goal, which was to win at least 14 votes among the 18 members. Fourteen votes were needed to send the package to Congress as an official recommendation and force a vote on the proposals. It's also true that prominent members of Congress on the committee took a walk on the commission report. That group included Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), who will ...

On Tuesday, the Census Bureau released its annual report on health insurance coverage in the United States. News media widely misconstrued the data and presented the problems facing the nation's health care system through a distorted lens. Many major news outlets made a basic error when reporting on the Census Bureau study. The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the number of Americans with no health insurance rose in 2010 to 49.9 million from 49 million the year before." But the figure c ...

At a press conference at the end of the year, he said it was important to close Guantanamo because it is "probably the number one recruitment tool that is used by these jihadist organizations." "It is important for us, even as we're going aggressively after the bad guys, to make sure that we're also living up to our values and our ideals and our principles," Obama said at the press conference. "And that's what closing Guantanamo is about -- not because I think that the peop ...
