Good point eagleye13, looks like the kids are being taught now that they should be ashamed that they are white. It's as if someone gave the white race something, no work involved, and even though we share, both willingly and by governmental edicts, it is not enough.

The wise man said that you can give the poor food and he ends up with nothing, but if you teach him how to fish, his belly will always be full!

Now give money, food, free housing, and other assorted riches to someone, you will also see that he will always be poor, not simply entitled but demanding.

"Islam is a Pestilence, a Malignant Cancer upon the world. It brings Death and Destruction to everything and everyone it touches.

It cannot coexist in a civilized society, it will only destroy it and those who live by those standards.

For a civilized society to exist it must first eradicate Islam.

The stronger Islam becomes the faster and deeper society will descend into the abyss and chaos of Evil.”

“Islam in a man is as Rabies in a dog.”

--- Sir Winston Churchill

Exactly Jim!

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida in January, 2015, when he said America will not come back. He wrote:

The American dream ended on November 6th, 2012 in Ohio. The second term of Barack Obama has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind. A coalition of b****s, Latinos, feminists, gays, government workers, union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the "forever needy," the chronically unemployed, i*****l a***ns and other "fellow travelers" have ended Norman Rockwell's America.

You will never again out-v**e these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status. People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will probably never again be able to legally comment on or
concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.

The cocker spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back yard. The American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod along with international socialist George Soros have been pulling the strings on their beige puppet have brought us Act 2 of the New World Order. The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has been told.

Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and political correctness..

Uncle Jesse. I agree that Bush left a 4 trillion dollar tab due to the wars that he got us into, makes me wonder where the other 13 trillion in debt came from?

Speaking of vetting:
1.- Vetting failed when Obama decided to run for President.
2.- Vetting failed to recognize that at least 6 of Obama's "czars" are members of the Muslim brotherhood.
3.- Vetting citizens who want to buy guns legally has failed on a large percentage and admitted criminals to legal gun owner roles.
4.- Vetting did not prevent the radicalized woman in San Bernadino, who, alongside her husband, shot and k**led 14 friends and co-workers.

HOW WILL THE US GOVERNMENT VET ALL OF THESE REFUGEES?

I just learned about the great new worldwide agreement on g****l w*****g was signed in Paris.

Do you know what the agreement says?

Simply that the World will shoot at g****l w*****g of less than 2 degrees between now and 2050, and that 100 million dollars a year will be supplied to developing countries to aid their compliance.

Did they say how to fight g****l w*****g? NO!

Just wait and see what the DNC has in mind for us!

Cool shipmate, I served on the Piper and the Clamagore also!
I have seen very few things about Dearborn, but they were Muslims keeping "infidels" out of their Muslim get togethers in public places and a few scattered videos about young Muslims harassing young women about the way they were dressed.
You see, that is the thing, they can't just live and let live. Then there is always the possibility that some ignorant father will make his daughter blow up a bunch of people to save the honor of the family! It's been done!

For sure in the Middle East. Probably in Dearborn Michigan, since no information seems to come out of this Muslim stronghold, anybody know what's going on there?

3jerk, you have managed to confuse even yourself as to what you are mumbling about!

Proof!........

Look 3Jerk, it's pretty obvious that you are working on your own agenda, or shall we say that you are not offering proof of your d********g statements.
I know nothing about what happened in Jersey, but I was a witness to the Muslim celebrations in Barcelona Spain. In fact, after watching the whole tragedy on TV, I had to walk about three blocks to get home and saw at least 100 Pakistanis having a real good time, dancing and shouting in the streets. As a result, I cannot forget 9/11 and much less forget the sheet head celebrations. I refuse to let what I consider to be a Muslim, work for me, serve me, or anything related. You see, the Muslims all go to the same Mosques as the Jihadists and the refusal of the Muslim community to rat out these terrorists makes them all equally guilty!

I agree Don, SCOTUS simply mumbled about "intention" and then blessed the ACA again. THE ONLY THING THAT THE ACA PRESENTS IS THE SUBSIDY JIVE. The changes that the ACA made to contents of healthcare policies have raised the prices, no question. No way big insurance was just going to eat the costs of "pre-existing conditions", the rest is just forcing them to send out more paperwork and pay for some "Silver Sneakers" classes. So big insurance adjusted the paradigm, cancelled a bunch of policies and upped the price, absolutely predictable. But hold your hat for the following:

Born on September 30, 1965, Jonathan Holmes Gruber earned a BS in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1987 and a PhD in that same discipline from Harvard University in 1992. He has taught economics at MIT since 1992, except during a brief period (1997–98) when he served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy at the U.S. Treasury Department.

From 2003–06, Gruber was a key developer of the Massachusetts healthcare reform plan instituted during the administration of then-governor Mitt Romney. In 2006, Modern Healthcare magazine named Gruber as one of “The 100 Most Powerful People in Health Care in the United States,” a designation he would earn again six years later.

In 2008 Gruber was a consultant to the p**********l campaigns of Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama. Obama in particular had admired Gruber's intellect for some time, having named him during an April 2006 Brookings Institution panel discussion as one of “the brightest minds from academia and policy circles” whom he (Obama) had “stolen ideas from liberally.”

In 2009-10 Gruber served as a chief architect of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare). By Gruber's own account, he “helped write the federal bill” and “was a paid consultant to the Obama administration to help develop the technical details as well”—services for which the Department of Health & Human Services (headed by Kathleen Sebelius) paid him $392,600.

All told, Gruber earned some $5.9 million from federal and state government sources for his consulting services between 2000-14. This included $2.05 million from the National Institutes of Health (for work related to Medicare Part D), $1.7 million from the Justice Department (for “expert witness” testimony), and $103,500 from the State Department (for legal services). Also highly lucrative was his “Gruber Microsimulation Model” (GMM), which helped Obamacare's authors anticipate whether the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) would (correctly) interpret various features of the Affordable Care Act as “taxes.” The GMM afforded those authors—who understood that such an interpretation could entirely thwart the prospect of passing the legislation—an opportunity to deceptively tweak the wording of the bill accordingly. Eight U.S. states—Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin—have also contracted with Gruber to gain access to his computer model.

In 2009 Gruber attended five of the twelve White House meetings where top experts gathered to discuss the design of Obamacare. One of these was a July 20 gathering that Obama himself attended. Between 2011 and June 2014, Gruber visited the White House at least 19 times.

In January 2012, Gruber made it clear that Obamacare subsidies—for people whose incomes were low enough to qualify them for government assistance in paying their insurance premiums—would only be available through State Exchanges; i.e., there would be no provision in the law for a Federal Exchange. "I think what's important to remember politically about this," he told an audience in Virginia, "is if you're a state and you don't set up an exchange, that means your citizens don't get their tax credits. Your citizens still pay the taxes that support this bill. So you're essentially saying to your citizens, you're gonna pay all the taxes to help all the other states in the country. I hope that that's a blatant enough political reality the states will get their act together and realize there are billions of dollars at stake here in setting up these exchanges and will do it. But, you know, once again, the politics can get ugly around this." Ultimately, only 14 states accepted federal money to help them set up their own Exchanges.

In early November 2014, Gruber became engulfed in controversy when video clips of some of his past speeches on Obamacare came to public attention. In those clips, Gruber could be seen boasting that he and the Democrats had knowingly and repeatedly lied about key aspects of the legislation so as to deceive American v**ers, whom the professor characterized as “too stupid” to realize what was happening.

For example, during a videotaped October 17, 2013 panel discussion (at the University of Pennsylvania) about the political hurdles that Obamacare had faced in 2009-10, Gruber openly acknowledges that, contrary to the Obama Administration's claims, the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate—requiring every American to purchase health insurance—is in fact a massive tax. But “this bill was written in a tortured way” to conceal that politically unpalatable fact from the CBO, Gruber explains, lest it should lose any hope of becoming law. Similarly, says Gruber, “if you had a law which ... made explicit that healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed.” “Lack of t***sparency,” he elaborates, “is a huge political advantage. And basically, you know, call it the stupidity of the American v**er or wh**ever, but basically that was really, really critical to get the thing to pass. And you know, I wish ... we could make it all t***sparent, but I'd rather have this law than not.”[1]

In a 2012 videotaped interview with PBS, Gruber states that at the aforementioned July 20, 2009 White House meeting, he and President Obama brainstormed about how they might bring to fruition their mutual desire to place a 40% tax on a portion of the value of high-end insurance plans—those costing more than $10,200 for an individual or $27,500 for a family—that employers provided for their workers. Describing Obama as “a realistic guy” who understood that policy holders would be opposed to paying such a tax, Gruber quotes the president as conceding that this “is just not going to happen politically” unless the tax could be dressed up as something else. As Gruber puts it, Obama wondered aloud how they might “manage to get there through phases and other things.” “And we talked about it,” says Gruber. “And he was just very interested in that topic.” By Gruber's telling, this conversation “ultimately became the genesis of what is called the 'Cadillac' tax in the health-care bill.”

Video footage of a November 2012 speech which he delivered at the University of Rhode Island, shows Gruber detailing the immense deception that pervaded the Cadillac Tax concept. Specifically, he praises then-Senator John Kerry as a “hero” for reframing the issue and saying—to v**ers to whom it had theretofore been “politically impossible” to “get through to”—“No, no, we're not going to tax your health insurance, we're going to tax those evil insurance companies. We're going to impose a tax that [says] if they sell health insurance that's too expensive, we're going to tax them.” “So basically it's the same thing,” Gruber explains, “we just tax insurance companies, they pass on higher prices that offsets the tax break we get and ends up being the same thing. It's a very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the ... lack of basic economic understanding of the American v**er.”

Similarly, in a videotaped October 2013 speech at Washington University in St. Louis, Gruber reiterates how the Democrats were able to pass the Cadillac Tax “because the American people are too stupid to understand” that taxing the insurance companies is no different than taxing the individual policy holders.

In a 2011 videotaped conversation about Obamacare, Gruber denounces the “terrible policy” of not taxing high-end, employer-provided insurance plans as a “regressive, inefficient and expensive tax subsidy” that “politically [is] really hard to get rid of.” “[T]he only way we could get rid of it,” he recounts, “was first by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people, when we all know it's a tax on people who hold those insurance plans.”

In that same 2011 video, Gruber states that implementing the Cadillac Tax involved yet another major deception as well: scheduling the tax to take effect “late, starting in 2018.” “[B]y starting it late,” he explains, “we were able to tie the cap for 'Cadillac Tax' to CPI [consumer price index], not medical inflation,” the latter of which is higher than the former. “What that means is the tax that starts out hitting only 8% of the insurance plans essentially amounts over the next 20 years [to] essentially getting rid of the exclusion for employer-sponsored plans.”[2] And because by then the government will have grown accustomed to counting on the income generated from that tax to cover its operating expenses, the tax will be virtually impossible to eliminate. Says Gruber: “[A]t that point if they [unions, employees, etc.] want to get rid of it they're going to have to fill a trillion-dollar hole in the deficit.... It's on the books now.”

Senator John Kerry once described Gruber as the Democrats' “guide” in advancing the Cadillac Tax.

After the aforementioned videos became a public-relations disaster for Democrats, the Obama administration attempted to distance itself from Gruber and portrayed him as nothing more than a fringe player in the creation of the Affordable Care Act. The president dismissed Gruber as merely “some adviser who never worked on our staff.” But a series of emails provided by the House Oversight Committee to the Wall Street Journal in 2015 revealed that Gruber in fact had worked very closely with the administration to shape the law. According to the Journal, the emails revealed “frequent consultations between Mr. Gruber and top Obama administration staffers and advisers in the White House and the Department of Health and Human Services on the Affordable Care Act.” Moreover, they showed that Gruber “informed HHS [the Department of Health and Human Services] about interviews with reporters and discussions with lawmakers, and he consulted with HHS about how to publicly describe his role.”

In January 2014, Gruber acknowledged that Democratic assurances about the Affordable Care Act's potential for reducing Americans' healthcare expenditures were utterly fictitious. Indeed, even though the White House's official blog had cited Gruber’s “objective analysis” as solid evidence that Obamacare would lower insurance premiums, he now conceded that promises of cost savings were nothing more than a “misleading motivator” designed to fool an ignorant public.

Nor was this the first time that Gruber had made such an admission. In a speech he delivered at the College of the Holy Cross on March 11, 2010, for instance, Gruber said that forecasts about Obamacare's anticipated cost-cutting were highly deceptive: “Barack Obama's not a stupid man, okay? He knew when he was running for president that quite frankly the American public doesn't actually care that much about the uninsured.... What the American public cares about is costs.... [But] no one has a politically feasible way right now to bend the cost curve, it just doesn't exist.”

Though Gruber (like Obama) has long favored the implementation of a government-run, single-payer healthcare system, he refrained from drafting such a plan in 2010 because he understood that the American public would have opposed it. As he said in a 2010 speech at MIT, single-payer was “just politically impossible in the U.S. context” because: (a) “most Americans are actually pretty happy with what they have and aren’t willing to give it up,” and (b) “we have about an $800 billion a year private health insurance industry that’s not going to go without a fight.”

Gruber and Obama also support healthcare systems that facilitate the redistribution of wealth by subsidizing—as Obamacare does—the medical expenses of people with lower incomes. In November 2013, Gruber was quoted in the New York Times saying that “a fair and fixed insurance market” is impossible to create “without some redistribution away from a small number of people.”

On November 18, 2014, Fox News reporter David Webb tracked down Gruber and asked him, on camera, to address some of the aforementioned videotaped remarks that he had made regarding: (a) the subterfuge and lies that were central to the passage of Obamacare, and (b) the “stupidity of the American v**er.” Clearly agitated, Gruber walked hurriedly away from Webb and repeatedly stated that he had “no comment.” (For video of this interaction, click here.)

In recent years, Gruber has been an associate editor with the Journal of Health Economics (since 2001), the Journal of Public Economics (since 2009), and the American Economic Journal (since 2009). Moreover, he has authored two books: (1) Public Finance and Public Policy (2005), which has since been updated in three revised editions, and (2) Health Care Reform: What It Is, Why It's Necessary, How It Works (2011), explaining the Obamacare law in comic-book format.

NOTE:

"Gruber says the delayed onset is key — it allowed Obamacare’s authors to tie the Cadillac tax to the Consumer Price Index. The CPI doesn’t rise as fast as inflation — meaning that while the dollar-threshold for the Cadillac tax will grow, it’ll grow more slowly than the cost of health insurance. That means that eventually, all employer plans will get caught in the Cadillac tax.... And that takes away much of the incentive employers have for offering it in the first place."

My what interesting posts, you guys should check into middle school to get your s**t straight!

The single biggest risk to the economy is pouring trillions more into failed "green projects" to combat naturally occurring c*****e c****e. Sure this isn't Pat Paulson?

Watching the ocean level rise? Is that like watching grass grow? Maybe you should try to calculate ink drying alternatives or catching flying reindeer as a hobby, if you like excitement that is.

I think that we should agree to disagree and stop with copying and pasting tons of what you call empirical data and therefore the t***h, for we poor, unwashed i***ts who are more than s**k of falling asleep reading your self evident t***hs.

The actual t***h of the matter is this:

If we leave it alone and stop spending trillions on chasing rainbows, we will find that fusion energy will be upon us in the near future, cheap, boundless energy with no ecological no-nos. Fusion energy will make f****l f**ls, solar and wind power (and other money makers), completely obsolete, thereby knocking the ridiculously low levels of C02 and Methane down to almost zero, other than cow farts.
