When Will Democrats Wake Up???

If life is a right, then health care is a right. And health care is two words, not one word.

There is no right to life here. 1.3 million abortions a year, with the blessing and backing of the government. Obama has voted several times for it, to the extent that if a baby somehow survived the abortion another doctor would be sent in to finish it. Such a compassionate man.
 

Of course the more government freebies the better. 17 trillion in debt and Obama adding a trillion a yr. no big deal. Have to have more entitlements no matter the cost.

Democrat = more entitlements and kill jobs = more Democrats.

Hey....sooooo...I heard that people would need to show a valid ID card to sign up for Obamacare............................

What? That's RACIST!

You use the word "IF" let me assure you "life is not a right". Where did you ever get the idea that "life is a right" and how do you equate "health care is a right". Let me ask you, who are you to demand health care from anyone? Let me tell you. If your dying in the street and I'm standing over you, I could give a **** if you live or die. And I could care less what "right" you think you have. I have the right to walk away and let you die, because that is my "right"
 

I'm a first responder, these are things we have to consider. I'm certainly not looking to put myself in a position to be sued by someone I help. If I come up on a car accident and one car has Obama stickers on it and the other has Romney stickers on it, who do you think I would help first? I'm under no obligation to help anyone. The decision is easier if there is a sign like "I'm a trial lawyer", but "I want free stuff at someone else's expense" will do. The guy in the Obama car can whip out his Obamaphone and call someone in government who has no accountability. I'm sure the wait won't be long.
 
Ok, head over to the science part of the forum and lets talk particle physics.

You were temporarily banned for repeated violations of personal attacks on a large number of users. Do you want another temporary ban?

C'mon, it's a challenge. Lets see of you can "keep up".

I mean you already made a fool out of yourself ONCE, so lets see if you can keep up with even a laymans discussion of the grand unifying theory or Super String theory.

Well, you know what button I just pressed.

And you're full of sh** as usual on your supposed understanding of the Sub-prime collapse and Fannie and Freddies input.

Well, that should pretty much solidify what I know is coming to you.


So once again you fail to address my point.

Spamming the same thing you did before doesn't address the problem of how no one made the banks issue the vast majority of NPL Subprime. Absolutely nothing you said even remotely touches on this.

You can keep harping on how the GSEs screwed things up, to which I don't disagree, but constantly blaming them for non-CRA banks being greedy doesn't address my points. Your argument entirely fails to deal with the problem that large numbers of NPL subprimes were kept on the books of banks as well as securitizied and sold as securities outside of the GSEs providing large amounts of revenues to the banks issuing the loans.
 


Notice how people only use popular American opinion when it agrees with them...Don't many of us realize that most Americans are just plain dumb? I mean, EVEN IF you put aside the REALLY unaware ones, the ones who can't name the vice president and think Africa is a country...even semi-politically aware Americans change their minds en masse like they are the god damn weather. This shouldn't really be part of the argument. The law was voted on by elected representatives, signed by the president, and affirmed (mostly) by the highest court of the land, AND THEN that same president was RE-ELECTED. So obviously this issue wasn't important enough to get American's out to vote Obama out, even if they have problems with the law...and actually, if you look at poll statistics on specific parts of the ACA, many parts retain full support by a vast majority of the American public.
 

So you think Obamacare is good for the country?

I think it's a vast improvement over what we have now, which, for those not old enough to qualify for Medicare and not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid, is nothing.

But it's not enough. We need total coverage. There is no "national security" without health security.
 

Even with everyone's healthcare costs (those of us that actually pay for it) are skyrocketing with it's implementation?

Obama is just spending out of control!.... I heard that he wanted to start giving everyone free cars now?
 
Funny but in the years after that event we had the greatest economic growth ever and the middle class rose out of poverty for the first time in history. We sure could use some of that action today

Oh yeah, we need another round of a President driving as many small businesses and innovators in ground as possible, wait, wait, that is what we have a black FDR:

The National Recovery Administration (NRA) was the primary New Deal agency established by U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) in 1933. The goal was to eliminate "cut-throat competition" by bringing industry, labor and government together to create codes of "fair practices" and set prices. The NRA was created by the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) and allowed industries to get together and write "codes of fair competition." The codes were intended to reduce "destructive competition" and to help workers by setting minimum wages and maximum weekly hours, as well as minimum prices at which products could be sold. The NRA also had a two-year renewal charter and was set to expire in June 1935 if not renewed.[1]

In 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously declared that the NRA law was unconstitutional, ruling that it infringed the separation of powers under the United States Constitution. The NRA quickly stopped operations, but many of its labor provisions reappeared in the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act), passed later the same year. The long-term result was a surge in the growth and power of unions, which became a core of the New Deal Coalition that dominated national politics for the next three decades.

The NRA, symbolized by the Blue Eagle, was popular with workers. Businesses that supported the NRA put the symbol in their shop windows and on their packages, though they did not always go along with the regulations entailed. Though membership to the NRA was voluntary, businesses that did not display the eagle were very often boycotted, making it seem mandatory for survival to many.

Nice chart, now post up the national debt increases by president and who got the US downgrade the first time in US history. I mean really, Obama has increased the national debt more than any president before him combined. Further Obama has increased the national debt by over 1 trillion each and every year he has been in office. Of course you progressives have no concern about the national debt, as long as you get yours and don't have to pay a dime back. You could care less who has to bay back the debt as long as it's not you.
 
Completely irrelevant to my points sir.

Still a question. The OP is that the country doesn't want Obamacare, probably because it is BAD, so I ask again, do you think Obamacare is good for the country?
 

Born Free,.... obviously the spending hasn't increased dramatically, so the debt increased due to lack of tax revenue.... maybe because of some sort of recession we had? Also realize that the national debt was worse after WW2, and I don't think any of us "paid" it back.

You need to realize that we would have perfect credit if it wasn't for Republicans who threaten to stop raising the debt ceiling (Which many argue is Unconstitutional), and our interest rates are very low. The world has enough faith in us to use us as their bank, and people trust the US enough to lend us this money at low rates. Tell me how if you took out a loan for a house, one day the lender would come and force you to pay it all back at one instant?Inform me how the National Debt is such a huge issue, especially when the deficit is decreasing every year.

This is over simplified rhetoric, it's great for scaring people in to thinking our president is the anti-Christ Communist. I know there are educated arguments against what I am saying, but you haven't named one, now a days people don't want to have to think hard on issues, they want one line zingers to explain complex issues.
 

You can make all the talking points you want but the fact is we are 17 trillion in debt and growing by 1 trillion a yr. Numbers like these never seen in US History. No president prior to Obama has raised our national debt more than Obama year for year.

You need to realize that we would have perfect credit if it wasn't for Republicans

Typical liberal talking point. It's all Bush's fault, it's all the Republicans, it's all someone elses fault. However the truth is, the first US downgrade was under Obama and his leadership. Another fact you need to realize


I understand you have never had a problem with the national debt with any party or president. But let me tell you, this you have to realize, we have to pay it back. Now who is going to pay it back. Yep tax payers, now instead of that money going into the pockets of our citizens, it's going to pay debt that does nothing for our economy. In other words paying back our debt takes money out of circulation. Thus the result means a lower standard of living for future generations. Think of it this way, we have been living thus far on 17 trillion of borrowed money and have a 2% economic growth. Which is not even keeping up with job growth of the population growth. So think further not only are future generations not going to be able to borrow more money as we greedy bastards have been doing, but they are going to be the ones to pay it back and not be able to borrow any. That is a double hit to our economy and their standard of living.

Try and think Greece as our future outcome.

But hey I have always said, liberals think there is an endless supply of money to spend endlessly on anything they want and screw who has to pay it back, even if it's their great grand kids.

I wonder if anything happened in late 2007 and early 2008 to explain this? I'm sure if it had economists would have discovered it by now.

Typical liberal response, I didn't do it, it's all your fault. The truth is all these trillions that have increased the national debt is all Obama's from the day he was elected. Further the trillion dollar stimulus was all Obama's, he did not get one Republican vote in support of it. Same with his idiot Obamacare, not one Republican vote.
 
So millions dont want healthcare? WHY?

If they dont want it. then why is healthcare.gov jam packed at 5 am?
 
The country does NOT want Obamacare!

Why don't the fringe Republicans understand that budgeting process is not the place to force a removal of a piece of legislation that has already cleared all branches of the federal government? Holding the country hostage because things didn't go your way is both immature and pathetic.

And how else are they to defund it? Democrats won't pass a budget.
 

Last time i checked, bipartisan support is not necessary pass new legislation. The ACA made it through congress, out of the oval office, was upheld by the Supreme Court, and to put a cherry on top, the chief executive it was named after was re-elected by the people.

Tough rocks pal.

I didn't know the budgeting process was the appropriate venue to advertise just how sour your grapes are. Why does the house insist that any budget put forth must contain ACA poison pills?
