I admit I watch to many cable news programs. I even try to catch some of MSNBC. I can't take much of that ridiculous cheer leading squad for the administration.
One of the huge differences I see on all these programs between conservatives and liberals is when they debate the ACA. Time after time libs tell conservatives if you think this law is so bad you should want it implemented so it will crash and burn and you will win politically. The key word here is politically. The conservatives generally answer with I don't want the ACA to be implemented then crash and burn. This will hurt the economy and American families. You now have Republicans working to get a bill to delay implementation of this economic disaster. If they thought like liberals they would want the implementation to go forward so they could score political points when it does not do the things Obama promised.

ACA is being played as the good guy bad guy act. You can pick if your guy is the good guy. The plan it's self may be good or may be bad.

Medical care & costs are a big problem. The quality of care has gone down & the costs have gone up. Most people agree that some thing had to be done. Ideas have been floating around for some time. A Republican Governor help to get a system much like this in his state. It seems to be working.

In this country if some thing is going get done some one wants to know what is in it for me. Those that wish to get some thing out will not support it until they are sure of what they can get. When the plan goes in to effect they will look for ways to profit from it & then say the plan was bad but keep taking the money to the bank.

I don't disagree with you. But who is big money? You think that it is all on the republican side? Here is a fact. The bill was never read by a single member of congress. Not one republican v**ed for it. There were new insurance company's that were put together just to handle these exchanges. Tax payer money funded those "insurance company's". The people who built the web site had a no bid contract. There were no bids made to anyone but the people who got the contract. Michelle Obama, had a class mate that is part of that company.

Come on buddy, you seem sensible, but don't ignore the facts. any bill that is that big cannot be good for the American public.

I have tried to put across the point that there are people with lots of wealth I call them Big Money.

It one time there was the Right & the Left. Each side had a different agenda. But Big Money rules & now have almost complete control of our government.

It was in the past that the Right made many laws that helped big business. Helping big businesses to make lots of money.
Creating what I call big money. This wasn't to bad but Big Money use these profits to buy more v**es. To the point now they own both the Right & the Left.

And the idea that taxing the rich more will correct the problem is way off base. It compounds the problem, because business's spend less in expansion.

Everyone has a choice in what they do. Some choose to work for others, some choose to work for themselves. But, we choose.

In the past the Left would try to do things to help the masses.

All deals where made behind closed doors. Now the control of government is almost complete & the ugly acts that the government do is open & all of the uglyness shows.

Big Money is in control & make no doubt about it they will use all of the money they can suck out of us to run the government & to suck out more.

You can see by reading what people write on this forum that they still think that there is a Left & a Right.

If you wish to keep control of the people you have to appear to give them a bone once in a while. But you being Big Money you have to live up to your standards. Let no money end up in any hands but yours.

I have what I have & don't seek more just to have more.

I feel that if the people who's life touch mine have what I have then things would be better for most.

not that I disagree with you, but business creates jobs. Government cannot create jobs. They create policies that help the the people create jobs.

When Nixon created the EPA, industry in this country started going down hill. About a month ago, I heard about the EPA putting into effect a regulation. When asked what it would do they had to admit that it don't do anything to stop pollution or decrease anything. So what was the purpose of the regulation? Uh by the way that regulation stands.

It comes down to one thing. Government has gotten so big that it all cannot be watched. The regulations destroy jobs. Reagan was exactly right when he said that Government is not the answer to the problems. It IS the problem. Now, If Government wasn't allowed to grow so big would it be better? I don't know. But, I do believe our way of life is very much threatened.

We can not have a very good system if there are people who for all intents & purposes are not a part of the system.

If private interest are unable or just don't what to include people in the main stream then it remains a problem for the rest of us. Can you stand there & tell me in all t***h that Obama as done nothing to help Big Money?
Just what has he done to help the poor or even the Middle Class?

So for the record I say Obama is under control of Big Money
just like the rest of Washington.

You may hear a voice once in a while opposing Big Money but most that oppose Big money get bought out or are shoved to the side lines.
