(continuing on from the last post)
6. Senator Kerry (D), has emphasized his support of not taxing the wealthy, because that would just not cover the bill. Wait? didn't we just go over the 'bill,' and the $2.4 trillion consumer paid vs. the $900 billion government paid? Sorry.. my head's spinning. Listening to the left spin their garbage out of Congress and into the streets can do that sometimes. Inversely, Sen. Kerry wants us to be careful about lowering the tax bracket of who pays for this bill too far, becasue we could interefere with employer businesses if the lower-class have to start paying. That is to say, he supports taxing the businesses, but if we tax the people and the businesses who can no longer afford to keep people on staff because of their dramatic increases in taxes per person, we'd be double taxing and inevitably causing an increase in unemployment. Oops.. I meant.. he 'inferred,' that - he didn't say it. My bad. Of course - he and Senator Konrad plan on supporting co-ops because white house studies show 12 million people currently in support of it. What 12 million people? What sector? It seems to me that if we shouldn't "lower," that tax bracket too far - that the 'lower,' tax bracket will NOT be the ones supporting the co-ops. (As a side note - let's also not forget many of these Senators are in that wealthy tax bracket who will pay out... AND... they are business owners - which it sounds like Sen. Kerry has covered his backside on both issues!).
7. Insurance companies who have been paid must provide insurance! Well, THIS was an awesome addition to the bill, don't you think? After all, this hits right to the heart of the issue, doesn't it? Okay, sarcasm aside - yes - THIS is a DISTRACTION, that out of 4,000 pages, was NOT newsworthy, but it's what the Congress and White House offered the people. Sure - they've read the bill. Was it to show the American people that they care and necessary to help 'sell,' the bill? No, and yes. It wasn't to show they cared, it was to find out what 'highlights,' they could offer the media and the public to 'appease,' us, while not discussing the 'other,' major issues.
8. Uninsured will begin receiving coverage in 2013! Yes, AFTER the next election. What a WONDERFUL way to wrap people up into voting for... well.. not those 'horrifying,' Republicans that opposed this bill! After all - you're all about to receive benefits thanks to Obama and the Democratic party! Do you really, REALLY, want to vote Republican and give ALL that up? Sure... and not everyone gets benefits until 2018. What a way to REALLY play this issue out. Didn't see it, yet? Let me 'splain: This $900 billion to be spent, will be "drug," out - including medicare payouts and the currently existing medicare program, to not really 'work,' until mid 2015. That means, that it will only cost about $450 billion by then (yes - assuming those numbers were accurate - which they aren't). That way, come election time, it looks like they've been saving the budget because the deficit's not as high, and JUST LIKE THE STIMULUS, they've "issued," the monies - but NOT spent the monies - and so they haven't had to "dramatically," raise taxes. Instead, the increase will be slow and steady over time where it won't "really," be felt for 5 or 6 more years and you won't "really," feel that pinch until then. But, make no mistake: If you buy something for $1000.00 - you OWE a $1000.00. AND - if you SPAN out your amortization on the "loan," you took out to buy that item, your interest will be HIGHER! So - that $1000, rather than costing $1400 in a 3 or 4 year payoff, will cost $2000 in the 6 year payoff, but by the third/fourth year, you will have only "seen," a $1,000 go out the door - and it will look GREAT on paper! Anyone who's EVER leased ANYTHING - will know about this - whether your lease was great or a pain. It's basic math, it's deceptive - it's LYING! YOU'RE going to PAY MORE - so THEY can look LESS like bad guys they really are! I'll remind you of this in 2012, if I'm still around - when this comes true.
9. Medicare cuts and caps will help curb the $2.4 trillion to $900 billion. I've saved this "special," issue for the end for a very, good reason: Medicare cuts of $35 million dollars, 'squeezing,' the system "after" they've cut billions out of it that well.. you know.. pay no attention to the man behind the curtain... ANYWAY - the committee (that will cost us), to arrange these cuts, will save us $2.39 trillion dollars! YAY!! Um... wait.. wasn't that $2.4 trillion what people currently, privately pay for insurance and has nothing to do with government spending? How will $35 million save $2.39 trillion? How will $35 million in addition to hundreds of billions, save $2.39 trillion? HOW WILL CUTTING Medicare INCREASE fair insurance to everyone?
Hold on - something's not right? (see why I saved this one?) Holy Medicare Premiums Batman - the math isn't working??!! Neither is the logic.. boy wonder!!
