OBAMACARE, TERRORISTS AND MORE…….
SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT, so little time…
MORE REVELATIONS ABOUT THE HIDDEN costs of Obamacare. The CBO today reported that the ‘Doc fix’ for Medicare will cost not the $207 bllion estimated at the time of the bill’s passage, but $276 billion, a 33% increase. Another number going up is the number of Americans who tell pollsters they support repeal of Obamacare, now running as high as 70% in some polls.
A BIG SURPRISE HERE; FREDDIE MAC announced today that they need another $10.6 bllion bailout from the Feds. This is in addition to the $50.7 billion already received, and Fannie Mae’s $76.2 billion. And earlier this week, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, charged with saving the pension systems of failing companies, had mislead Congress about it’s own situation and failed an audit.
A RESEARCH REPORT ISSUED by the U S Publlic Interest Group ( a leftie, Naderite group ) last week said the roads in Washington State are ‘ unacceptable’. Our Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond responded that ” funds are tight” and ” the money collected for the gas tax doesn’t go as far as it used to. ” Didn’t they just raise our gas tax 9.5 cents a gallon a few years ago and promise a new bridge, a new viaduct and all sorts of improvements with that increase? Just asking…
SUPER PC SILLINESS….a county supervisor in Santa Clara County has proposed banning happy meal toys in order to make unhealthy fast food less appealing to children. Where in the he## do they think they get such power? Time to take to the streets. They will get that happy meal toy when they peel my cold dead fingers from around it…
GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE, the new governor of New Jersey, is not just shaking up the state capitol over taxes and spending. He became on Monday, the first New Jersey governor to refuse to reappoint a State Supreme Court justice, appointing a more conservative replacement. Christie has been exhibiting more than his fair share of courage and vision since being elected and I hope (no, actually I pray ) that other Republicans are taking notes.
FINALLY, THE CASE OF FAISAL SHAHZAD, the would-be Islamic radical terrorist bomber, who apparently didn’t do his homework well enough while studying abroad – thankfully. I cannot believe the gibberish coming from the mouths of supposedly intelligent people about his motives. Mayor Bloomberg: the bomb might have been placed by ” somebody..who doesn’t like the health care bill or something. ” CNN: “…his house has been foreclosed…one would have to imagine that brought a lot of pressure and a lot of heartache on that family.” ( Kirby question – how many homes have been foreclosed on in the past three years and how many of those owners have gone out and tried to bomb a busy public place because of it ? ). CBS News: It isn’t clear what the motive could be.” AP: ” NY car bomb suspect cooperates, but motive unclear.”. USA Today: ” Motive of NYC car bomb suspect remains a mystery.”. To quote a line from one of my favorite movies of all time, Tombstone, ” I don’t have the words.”. Or, none are so blind as those who will not see.
A great read, Kirby. Keep up the good work. The country could benefit from national syndication of your work.
