    Heavy Medal Obama Hatin'

    It's sad that you think that Obama is like that. Personally, I probably wouldn't vote for him in 2012 but to say he despises this country is a bunch of horse hockey in my personal opinion.

    Is Obama a lame duck?

    Lame Duck? No, not yet anyway. He's pretty close though. He needs to turn things around like Clinton was able to if he has a chance. My money's not on that happening though. He doesn't have the leadership attributes that Clinton had in terms of being able to talk to the people.

    Panel Chairmen Recommend Cutting Federal Spending by $200 Billion

    Sigh, like I have said in previous posts, I don't necessarily disagree that the states should take on more of the responsibility from the federal government in regards to some programs (including Medicaid). Yes, it is state managed but it was enacted with the passing of a federal act (through...

    The fact is they are and because they are the states would have to either take on the additional tax burden if the federal government no longer funded the program or cut services.

    Honestly, I think that's really sad. That's why I said it was a crock of ****, not that I didn't believe you. Actually, I think it's more or less dispicable.

    Panel Chairmen Recommend Cutting Federal Spending by $200 Billion

    So, the $200 Billion+ a year that the federal government spent on Medicaid in 2008 and 2009 relates to "Obamacare" even though the law hadn't even passed yet? Maybe I'm misunderstanding where you are coming from here but it really seems like you are suggesting that the federal government did...

    Correct, it has nothing to do with "Obamacare".

    U.S. Voters Prefer Job Creation Over Deficit Cuts, Poll Shows

    Can't argue with that.

    Panel Chairmen Recommend Cutting Federal Spending by $200 Billion

    Agreed, Alaska is probably the most Socialist type state in the Union! Not to mention the fact that they get a lot of handouts related to earmarks in comparison to other states. Ha, funny how that works considering how "conservative" they proclaim to be.

    Panel Chairmen Recommend Cutting Federal Spending by $200 Billion

    What I pointed out is if the current services that the federal government provides is moved to the states, all things staying the same (i.e. the same equal services), costs that the states are responsible for will have to go up given the fact that states need to have a balanced budget and a lot...

    This is why I don't have a ton if faith in actions actually being taken to curb the deficit. Americans, in general, are about Number One.
