The Senate's healthcare bill is fatally flawed, a senior Democrat atop a powerful committee said on Wednesday.
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), the chairwoman of the House Rules Committee and co-chairwoman of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, said that the Senate's bill is so flawed that it's unlikely to be resolved in conference with the bill to have passed the House.
"The Senate health care bill is not worthy of the historic vote that the House took a month ago," Slaughter wrote in an opinion piece for CNN's website.
The announcement by Alabama Rep. Parker Griffith that he is switching to the Republican Party is just the latest warning sign that the Democratic Party -- my lifelong political home -- has a critical decision to make: Either we plot a more moderate, centrist course or risk electoral disaster not just in the upcoming midterms but in many elections to come.
A conservative activist and Illinois comptroller candidate was escorted from the Illinois State Capitol building Wednesday when he tried to remove a sign put up by an atheist group.
William J. Kelly announced Tuesday that he planned to take down the sign put up by the Freedom from Religion Foundation, and on Wednesday, he tried to make good on his plan.

Barry was packing his five planes to go to Hawaii with the wife and kids and thought...have I failed enough in 2009? He decided that he would add to his long list of failures by failing with regards to our nation's security to the list. Way to go Barry? I mean really, Barry is safe when he flies. That should be enough.
You get to fly, you get to fly, and you get to fly. Thanks Barry, you fraud. Grab your birth certificate while you are out there and show it to us.

BARNEY CRIMINAL FRANK STRIKES HARD AGAIN: Bankers Get $4 Trillion From Barney Frank This is the article in Bloomberg "Bankers Get $4 Trillion Gift From Barney Frank". I am angry as hell. What is happening to our country!!! Our founding fathers are probably seriously considering crawling out of their graves and taking over DC. I am really looking forward to the upcoming elections. Hell with Democrats and Republicans. We need a true patriot in the White House and a congress consisting of man with balls instead of this spineless bunch of sellouts. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&sid=a48c8UpUMxKQ
Mr. Orszag, born in 1968 and the youngest member of President Obama's cabinet, is known as a budgetary prodigy.
In August 2009, his office raised its 10-year tally of deficits expected through 2019 to $9.05 trillion, nearly $2 trillion more than it projected in February.
Now Peter is getting married to some hot chick with a bleeding heart. Who says crime doesn't pay. Peter, keep the rug on at all times.
Mandatory spending on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, interest on the debt, and other social spending already exceed $2 trillion per year. These mandatory programs are sitting on the launch pad like the space shuttle ready to blast off into the stratosphere. When these costs blast off, with the mass retirement of Baby Boomers, we all know what happens next.
Military spending, and running all the other ineffectual government agencies total $1.5 trillion per year of “discretionary” spending. A rational reality based civil servant would look at this and honestly tell the American people that massive cuts in defense spending and social programs is absolutely necessary to save the country from bankruptcy and decline. If you are waiting for President Barack Obama to go on national TV and speak these words to the American public, you probably believe the new healthcare bill will reduce the National Debt, improve your healthcare, and reduce your premiums. Democrats and Republicans continue to live in their Washington DC fantasy world where increasing taxes will miraculously solve our problems according to Democrats and decreasing taxes to stimulate growth will solve our dilemmas according to Republicans. Both are delusional and dishonest.
“When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.”- Ron Pau
The Federal government has chosen all three. A family or business recognizes that it needs to spend less than its income in order to prosper over the long-term. The U.S. government is dependent upon individual income taxes to provide 64% of its receipts. The FY10 budgeted receipts are as follows: Individual Income Tax $1.051 trillion Corporate Income Tax $ 179 billion Social Insurance $ 257 billion Highway Taxes $ 38 billion Tobacco & Alcohol Taxes $ 28 billion Customs & Duties $ 24 billion Estate Taxes $ 20 billion Other Excise Taxes $ 52 billion TOTAL RECEIPTS $1.649 trillion
The 7,500 page Internal Revenue Code has been written to benefit politicians and special interests that pay politicians. This is how politicians repay their financial backers with tax breaks or deductions. The tax code is purposely indecipherable so that the general public is unable to recognize the payoffs for what they are. If the current tax code was scrapped and made so simple a Treasury Secretary could do their tax return properly, influence would be stripped from Congress. They will never willingly consent to this. The truth is that the top 1% of income earners pays 40% of the taxes. The top 10% of income earners pay 71% of all taxes. The bottom 50% of income earners pays virtually no taxes. Still, the rich and powerful are able to hire highly paid tax attorneys to avoid billions in taxes through loopholes provided by their Congressional concubines.
Rather than finding common ground and forging alliances, Baby boomer culture warriors upped the ante. The extreme wings of the Democratic and Republican parties gained control of the dialogue. Neo-conservatism has dominated the thinking in the Republican Party while ultra-liberals have dominated the Democratic Party. The culture has deteriorated, with the media perpetuating a nihilistic, selfish, materialistic attitude among the citizens. TV and movies have portrayed lives of the dregs and lowlifes of society as desirable and normal. The lives of washed up rock stars, drugged out TV personalities, vapid housewives, and brainless house flippers passes for entertainment in today’s society. Getting rich by any means necessary has been glorified. The best and brightest MBA students graduated and trooped off to Wall Street. Working at real companies that produced something became passé. The degeneration of moral, ethical, and cultural standards has made it more likely that a fascist government could gain control during the Crisis. The dysfunction of both the Federal government and state and local governments have dramatically reduced the trust level of the American public in these institutions. During a Crisis, public faith in government is necessary for swift decisive action. With an approval rating of 26%, Congress is more despised than Osama bin Laden.
The politicians who have chosen to lie to the American people and not face up to the national problems of deficits, unfunded promises, and peak oil, have set the country up for a cataclysmic Crisis. The only statesmen who have spoken candidly about the coming Crisis have been David Walker and Ron Paul.
“Washington has charged everything to the nation’s credit card – engaging in tax cuts and spending increases without paying for them. Washington’s imprudent, unethical and even immoral behavior is facilitated by a lack of transparency. While the US government is too big to fail, continuing on our current path will have adverse implications for our economy and international standing. The sooner Washington acts, the better. Our country, children and grandchildren deserve no less.”
David Walker – 9/2008
"We’re indeed stuck between a rock and a hard place, and we don’t talk about how we got here; we talk about how we are going to patch it up. The solutions proposed so far – stimulus packages, bailouts and interest rate cuts – just amount to printing more money, which will lead to greater currency devaluation, contribute to the rising cost of living, and further squeeze the middle class and our senior citizens."
I do not believe Americans will fall into line behind a leader whose cause is fighting to secure some other country’s oil. I do believe that the credibility and honesty of our politician leaders has been destroyed through their own corrupt immoral actions. A splintering of the country into competing factions and/or regions is a distinct possibility. There is precious little time left, as the howling blizzard gains strength. You will need to hunker down for a long hard winter. Build close relationships, protect your family at all costs, don’t trust government officials, don’t expect the government to honor any fiscal promises, don’t trust the mainstream media, learn to live locally, buy a gun, buy some gold and silver, and be prepared to fight for the truth.

Last post Fellow Americans..............and I mean it (2009) .2010 without rants on Internet Resolution. Collapse of America - powerdown of complex society All of America should be clearly focused on the Sovereignty of Iran. Our government has destroyed our currency and when a sovereign nation refuses to sell the only resources they have for this worthless currency, the answer is not to fix the problem of our government�s destruction of that currency, but to attack this sovereign nation and guarantee our rights to their resources. America was born in Revolution against this very act of plunder on a much smaller scale. We the People have allowed our federal government to become the most despotic �Genghis Kahn like� warring nation that ever existed on the face of this planet. The collapse of America will be well deserved by our inaction to uphold our Constitution and our politicians will forever be remembered as the despotic thieves who destroyed the greatest free nation on earth. We have no right to plunder other nations as we have learned to plunder ourselves through acts of government entitlements by Congressional theft. We have no right to force a sovereign nation to accept our worthless paper. We have no rights to the resources of the world unless we Americans labor for them, and have something they wish in trade. There is no free market when a country is invaded to allow for the taking of oil by forcing worthless currency, based on a concocted nuclear threat debated in a corrupt United Nations clan. The world will not put up with this plunder much longer. We have become Rome and we will enjoy much pain if this global tyranny we now produce is not stopped immediately by getting control of the despotic unconstitutional monster we call a federal government. It may already be too late according to legislation being passed by Congress. Everything Congress has and is trying to implement points directly at powering down a complex society. Wake up America.
