Health Care AFter Two Weeks

The deed has been done. The bill has been passed. The people have spoken, and been ignored.                       joe-biden-on-healthcare1

As Speaker Pelosi put it we must pass this legislation so we can see what is in it. So lets see what we have found after two weeks.

Let’s look at the Aftermath of ObamaKare:

Just two weeks after the signing of the bill a litany of companies across the country have sounded off about the effects of the Health SCARE bill. It’s not pretty.

The bill takes away tax write offs given to companies who continue to fund select parts of their health care after retirement. This is a very costly expense that these corporations feel they must continue to fund in many cases out of loyalty to there retirees. The numbers are staggering.

  • AT&T - $1 billion
  • Boeing - $150 million
  • Caterpillar - $100 million
  • Deere & Co. - $90 million
  • 3M - $90 million
  • Verizon - $50 million
  • Valero - $20 million

When confronted with this information Illinois Democrat Anthony Weiner was unsympathetic claiming that the repeal of the write off is not of consequence because the companies shouldn’t have to get a tax break to cover such expenses for their retirees.

Well Mr. Weiner that is your opinion but one thing that is an indisputable fact is that the added expenses of this Liberal Holy Grail will be passed on to the consumer in some way. This is how business works it is a fact that their expenses become our expenses (Just like Congresses).

Thanks Senator Weiner you really live up to your name.

Congressman Henry Waxman, (D) California, now wants the CEOs of the aforementioned companies to appear in Congress to testify to the validity of their statements. Proof that speaking out against the Presidents plans will land you in a modern day Spanish Inquisition. Waxman will wish the idea never entered his thick little head after all is said and done. These CEOs and business execs are bound by law to disclose this information to the SEC making it public knowledge. To neglect to do so would land them in prison. They will clearly have the data to support their claims and leave Waxman and his “Oboss” looking like idiots. Thanks for helping to get the truth out Henry.

Just two weeks later: Once again the Washingtards trample the 10th amendment with the passage of this scourging of our economy. 15 states, including Indiana, Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania, are suing the Government over the Constitutionality of the health care bill. A total of 36 states are taking legal action of some form to resist the government take over. The uproar caused largely by the Government plan to force the American people to buy a specific product that must be approved by the government.

Just two weeks later: There is now an open door for the federal funding of abortions. Of course this is looked upon as a triumphant victory by the likes of Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D) of Michigan.

Just two weeks later: The federal government has a need for 16,000 new IRS agents to enforce the unconstitutional, 10th amendment trampling, scourging of our rights to privacy as American citizens. Our medical records are going to be widely accessible by numerous government agencies in their efforts to determine your health care status.

Just two weeks later: Senator Tom Carper (D) Delaware clearly still has not read the bill he voted for. He insisted on, and got called out on, the statement that all members of Congress and White House Administration staffs will be bound to participate in the Health SCARE plan that Congress hid like a bitter pill in an apple so all of us mules would swallow it unknowingly.

It’s in the last 40 seconds of the video below

It didn’t work Varney & Company got to the bottom of it. Turns out that Republicans tried to push through an amendment in the Senate that WOULD require exactly that and the Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tabled the amendment before it could be voted on. In fact this was done with EVERY Republican amendment offered when the Senate “fix it” bill was being voted on. So I ask you, now who’s the party of NO?

Two weeks later: Democrats now face threats of physical violence over health care vote. I don’t condone violence but these threats should send message to those who voted against the will of the people.

Two weeks later: The Medicus Firm a medical recruitment company, shows in their survey that over 45% of physicians said they’d quit or retire if ObamaKare were to pass. How do we cover 30 million new patients with only half the doctors? I’m glad this plan was so well thought out. Two weeks later: The student loans have been taken away from the private sector and now will be controlled completely by the federal government, save North Dakota, what is now being called the Bismarck Bank Job, is nothing more than another bribed vote. Surely Rep. Earl Pomeroy, and Sen. Kent Conrad. Had one of those back room meetings to work this one out. Marry Landrieu’s’ Louisiana Purchase has nothing on these to guys when it comes to getting the most out of your vote. What exactly does the student loans program have to do with the HealthSCARE plan? Well think about it they have to pay for it some how. Go explain to Berkley students why their student loan rates are going up and see if they burn some more houses down.

Two weeks later: Speaker Pelosi still claims that the HealthSCARE bill was crafted with full transparency. Apparently she was busy flying around on her private jet while all of the back room deals were being made. Though some of them were rescinded in the aftermath of outrage and anger, that doesn’t change the fact that the deals were made and added to the bill. The list of back room deals is long:free-healthcare1

  • The Louisiana Purchase
  • The Cornhusker Kickback
  • Gatoraid
  • The U-Conn
  • The Bismarck Bank Job

Did I miss any?

Two week later: I would venture to guess that Democrats don’t sleep well at night. They own this mess. Not a single Republican voted for it. Not a single Republican accepts it. This one can not be blamed on Bush or 8 years of bad policy. Vice President Joe Biden said that Obama’s presidency would be finished if they failed to push through the HealthSCARE bill. This recap of corruption and out right stupidity just scratches the surface of what is yet to be a revealed of a 2400 + page bill that no one attempted to read before voting for it. Now that the deed is done Obama’s presidency  may be finished.

The Washingtards have mandated that Health Care is a right. What other new rights will they mandate next?

The right to Child Care?

The right to Housing?

The right to higher education?

It’s a Cracked World when our nation’s law makers think we have a right to health care, yet we don’t have a right to life.

Hank Johnson - We the People Voted for HIM!?!?

Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Apr 03 2010

I didn’t believe this until I witnessed it personally. Maybe I just didn’t want to believe it? Maybe I was in denial?

See for yourself, stupidity extraordinaire! At first glance I thought it was joke, a Jay Leno spoof perhaps but alas just another Washingtard roaming the halls of congress on the dime of the taxpayers.

After viewing this if your not asking the same questions I am there is a problem. How does an idiot like Hank Johnson get elected to the United States Congress? The answer: Cynthia McKinney, you may remember her, she accused the Federal Government of having advanced warning of the September 11th attacks claiming that George W. Bush was aware of the attacks and allowed them to happen so he could plunge America into war. Then there was the “issue” with her slapping a U.S. Capitol Police Officer.

It’s no wonder she wasn’t reelected but a shock that someone this Stupid was the winner in a run off election.

What? Does he think the Island of Guam is a floating land mass upon the surface of the water? Any 10 year old knows that isn’t true.

Now think about this. He’s a supporter of Global Warming and would more than likely refer to opponents of global warming (like myself) as “flat earthers.”  So…… he thinks it’s possible to “Capsize” an island yet verbally rebukes to the rest of us with the use of a term meant to describe us all as primitive believers of some mid-evil concept that the earth isn’t round?

Rep. Johnson was elected by the state of Georgia in the 2006 mid-term election that Democrats still brag about today as a stunning victory. Boy Georgians must feel really stupid about now. At least I hope they do.

One thing is for sure the next time I think about how our tax dollars are wasted I will have to consider more than just the ridiculous spending packages passed by Congress or the use of Airforce one so the president and his wife can go out on a date. I will have to consider also the idiots that we pay a congressional salary too as well. This man earns $174,000 annually like every other member of Congress and I wouldn’t let him walk my dog.

It’s a Cracked World when a member of The U.S. House of Representatives is NOT Smarter than a Fifth Grader!

The One Bill

Congress

Congress

One Bill to rule us all,
One Bill to find us,
One Bill to bring us all
and in the darkness bind us……

Sorry I couldn’t resist. This is what came to mind as I watched the Speaker of the House prance about with a giant gavel cradled in her arms. She was making her historic march to the Capital Building to vote for the government usurpation of what equals One Sixth of “Their” nations economy. I say to “THEIR nations economy” because; to the Democrats in Congress governing against the will of the people is their job. This particular breed of Wahingtard  believes that they know whats good for us better than we ourselves do. Therefore it’s their economy and their country not ours because the will of the people is no longer a matter worthy of consideration. I digress, Speaker Pelosi and her fellow Washingtards made their historic march in the midst of thousands of protesters chanting “Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill, Kill the Bill” uncaring. For they have transcended the will of the people. No longer do they need the acceptance of “We the People.”

Thousands in Washington and Millions at home looked on as this  flotsam and jetsam, (look it up), these pirates of the Constitution, usurped our Constitution of the freedoms and liberties bestowed within it; the supposed inalienable  rights of All Americans. I find it ironic that the Washington onlookers are commonly known to all as the Tea Party activists. It creates a powerful image in my mind when I think of a well known quote: “Those who fail to remember history are doomed to repeat it.” Ask yourself what followed the Boston Tea Party? Revolution that’s what; revolution  that perpetrated violence  against an oppressive government.

While Liberal Democrats taut their great victory over the will of the people from atop a pedestal upon which they believe themselves to be untouchable Republicans and Conservatives alike hear the soft whisper in the distance, a breeze from the heartland, a breeze recognized by all who are willing to listen as the winds of change soon to be sweeping through Washington to cleanse us of these corrupted bastard sons and daughters of our Constitution.

The Washingtards, blind to the cries of their constituents followed through with this abomination of law and claimed victory. But victory over whom? Over the Republicans? Over the so called Bluedog Democrats? No they claim victory over the American people! This is an issue far bigger than the petty differences of the mental midgets in Washington.

Welcome to the new world. Not discovered by Christopher Columbus, but created by Liberal Democrats in Washington so they may rule on high.

Not So Fast

Many governors of these United States are preparing already to challenge the Authority of Congress to pass such legislation onto each individual state and their citizens.

According to Foxnews:

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum also announced that he and top prosecutors from 10 other states are filing a lawsuit to “protect the rights” of the American people from the bill.

“The health care reform legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives this last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state’s sovereignty,” McCollum said in a statement.

Attention Washingtards read the Tenth Ammendment!

At least three dozen state legislatures are considering proposals to challenge the federal legislation. Some are pursuing amendments to their constitutions by ballot question; others are looking to change state law.

YES! What all this means is that Congress is breaking the law by passing this bill.

The president could put a stop to such a seizure of power simply by not signing the bill. We all know that won’t happen, it only proves that he is as guilty as those who passed this bill into law. His hands are dirty in this there is no one  else for him to blame he could simply refuse to sign it. By signing this bill he becomes a party to this crime against America.

If Congress is permitted to force the citizens of this country to buy insurance against there will whats next? The requirement to buy a MG car?

All in all the American people have the upper hand in this war on the Constitution. We hold the power to remove these destroyers of liberty from Congress. It is now up to the voters to do the job. November is coming up fast. Only We the People can take back our country before it becomes The Peoples Republic of Amerika.

It is time to take back America while it still exists in our hearts and minds. Lets Roll!

Congress makes it a Cracked World!

Charles Rangel Can’t Take the Heat

Politics | Posted by C.C.Mitchell
Mar 04 2010

I have been waiting for this moment for a while now.  Back in October Cracked World reported on the many nefarious notions of the of the House Rep. from New York when the Republicans tried to have him removed from his chairmanship. If you’d like to refresh your memory on that one look no further. Republicans Chide House Rep. Charles Rangel.

Charles Rangel of The House Ways of Thieves Committee

Charles Rangel of The House Ways of Thieves Committee

Charlie Rangel is back in the news again. Now for accepting trips to the Caribbean from a private corporation. This time he was forced out of his chairmanship of the House Ways and Means committee, which I have, rightfully so, called the House of the Ways of Thieves Committee. Of course Rangel is trying to “fake the high ground” according to him he has stepped down willfully to avoid undue embarrassment to his colleagues.

FoxNews has the skinny on Charlie and his “Gallantry”.

“I respectfully request a leave of absence from my duties and responsibilities as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means until such time as the Committee on Standards completes findings on the review currently underway.”

House Speaker Pelosi said in a written statement she will “honor” the request. ”I commend Chairman Rangel for his decades of leadership on jobs, health care, and the most significant economic issues of the day,” she said.

Decades of leadership….. more like decades of thievery.

This is fitting; it’s a very liberal use of the term ‘Leadership‘ but of course this is a fine example of  ‘Honor Amongst Thieves‘.

So now he respectfully requests a leave of absence? What about the statement he made on March 2nd?

Rangel spent the last week defying calls for him to step down. He adamantly denied reports Tuesday that he was planning to step aside, telling reporters who asked whether he would stay in his position, “You bet your life on it. And I don’t lie to the press.”

It doesn’t say much for his moral standing does it? I have to wonder what his word is worth these days. He’ll need a Government bail out just to take his oath in court.

Obviously he Can’t Take the Heat so he’s getting out of the Kitchen. But he jump in the fire?

No doubt he read the writing on the walls when other Democrats started to call for his removal from his position of confidence. Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama and member of the Congressional Black Caucus made this statement:

“Representative Rangel has had a long and distinguished career and I respect his leadership. But I believe Congress needs to do more to restore the public trust. An Ethics Committee admonishment is a serious event and Representative Rangel should do the right thing and step aside as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. I will consider returning the $1,000 contribution he made to my 2008 re-election campaign.”

Return his campaign contribution? Can you say running scared? He may as well be a Leper.

If this rebuke from his own party is any indication of the seriousness of the situation than I’d say Rep. Rangel is all but done; not just in The House Ways of Thieves Committee but possibly in Congress all together. Though Rangel has every intention of returning to his chairmanship after this political shit storm blows over, the Republicans want him permanently removed from the position. Most certainly something to become mid-term election fodder. Any one who wants to allow him to return will look as corrupt and untrustworthy as Rangel himself.

I can’t imagine anyone letting him return to the position let alone Congress. The way I see it he should be “getting to know” his new cell mate in a prison some where.

It’s a Cracked World and guys like Rangel are the ones that made it that way.
