We all seem to be talking about the impeachable acts that Obama has at least, championed: B******i, NSA, IRS, the ACA. Some, to him are miniscule, and some are just normal operating procedure, etc. and his big, wonderful, plan is Obama care!
1.- Obama care was aimed at 10% of the population, or 35 million young people who really don't want health insurance because they are healthy!
2.- When many of these people who have to foot their own bill for health insurance look into it, they discover that they are eligible for Medicaid and immediately opt for that!
a.- No cost
b.- Hospitals that have patients come in with no health insurance, immediately sign the patient up for Medicaid.
c.- I am not sure of the exact percentage, but something like 85% of Obama care signups are for ...... Medicaid......
d.- A large percentage of Obama care signers, for a regular health insurance plan, do not pay their premiums and are dropped!
e.- The cancellations, in my estimation were shamelessly written into the bill, thus the insurance companies included all of the preventative stuff and jacked the prices up by at least a factor of two, then went crying to healthcare.gov to cry and get subsidized!
And on and on.....
But should we actually give this a******n of misplaced trust, downright falsehoods, and ineptitude, a bit of rational thought, (I write this knowing that most of you are rational thinkers in this Forum, except for those poo pooers, who suggest that everything that others say is hogwash without presenting any argument at all), we must come to the conclusion that we, all of the masses, yes we are part of the masses, are STUPID.
BLASPHEMY! you say, how can this old f--- say that everyone is stupid?
I agree, I don't like to be called dumb, even though I say it to myself!
The Constitution provides, balance of powers, and through that, checks and balances, along with states rights.
Where have states rights gone? Is it that the states are pawns of the Fed. because they are bootlicking to get their mitts on Federal funds?
Why don't the states refuse Federal funds, collect payroll taxes themselves and also refuse Federal collection of payroll taxes? Is it not true that paying taxes is discretionary, not obligatory? S******n? Maybe, or maybe it is the ground to make a stand alleging waste!
The Supreme court is supposed to test, and either ratify a Law passed by Congress and signed by the Executive branch or strike it down as unconstitutional, only if the Law is legally contested.
The Supreme Court ruled that Obama care is a tax, because there are some 23 new taxes hidden in the Law! This ruling, in my opinion, is just barely legal and more like a sell out. What was promised behind closed doors to get that verdict?
How could we allow the Supreme Court to decide that anyone can contribute as much as they want to political campaigns? The foregoing does not even sound correct to a fifteen year old, but he, like his parents, doesn't care, does not feel that he should worry about it because he can't do anything about it anyway!
How can the Executive branch:
1.- Refuse to enforce any law?
2.- Override the Legislative Branch by use of Executive orders. (I agree that there are provisions such that the President can do that on a very limited basis).
3.- Executive Branch EXISTS to enforce Laws which are ratified by Congress and if necessary, the Supreme Court!
How can the people of this country be so STUPID as to be completely lulled into a stupor, and just let all of this happen?
It's easy:
"Oh, my v**e won't make any difference!"
"All this is disgraceful but I can't do anything about it!"
or.... a big fat silence....!
We have to petition our elected representatives to amend the Constitution to limit campaign contributions to a maximum and a minimum to insure e******y of the candidates, hence they must stand on their own merits, not media blitzes. These same representatives must select and commission an outside source to look at and understand the gerrymandering of congressional districts everywhere, and set the district limits in wh**ever manner that they see fit, except politically. That is to say that a Congressional race should not be pre-conditioned so that either a Republican or a Democrat will always win there as the case may be. We must understand this so that we can understand why, with a 9% approval rating, 94% of incumbents are re-elected! We must realize however that in many cases such as in California, there are very few tree hugger Republicans! California's crazy person leaders have infected the whole country, electricity prices, crazy mixtures in gasoline, cars that have to be practically rebuilt to change "struts". Food prices have sky rocketed, gas prices are at the whim of OPEC. By the way most OPEC members want to destroy the dollar and the U.S.
The EPA will make regulations until someone tells them to STOP. They are driving up electricity prices, gas prices, food prices (basically anything that is t***sported by truck).
The DOJ is getting into everything except Justice, look at the Boss of the Department, an over-educated i***t who has no clue of even handed justice.
We are not going to attack the problem without moving from our comfy cyber chairs. I, for example, am going to a neighborhood party/meeting next week, and I am going to try and talk this stuff and see if I can find a detractor, but more than that, people who would get up and get busy, they call it mobilization.
Notice that I am not talking about one party or the other, I am talking about normal people stating their opinion on a stage where they will be heard. Where could it lead? I hope that it leads to overwhelming public outcry, not by one or two, but by millions, or shall we say, get their attention!
Then again, why should we allow ANYBODY, to not let Independents v**e in primaries, as is the Law in AZ?
