The Wall Street Journal calls it the "Health Care Rationing Commission"

Bureaucrats are already lining up to decide who gets what. Start saving now for that knee replacement! Even if you are only in your twenties. Chances are it won't be on this list of approved procedures. But at least we have change we can believe in.

Troy - seems like he made extras in case someone follows him. Shall we tell him that any roll of tinfoil will make lotsa hats?

Nah.

I really couldn't care less how much gold the Fed has stashed in holes in the ground.

Now, days of supply in the SPR, that is actually worth something.

I read something some time ago that really opened my eyes. . . the humble Federal irrigation works serving the California Central Valley produced many, many times more wealth than all the gold dug out of the Sierras. Right now Fresno County produces $5B/yr of ag, mostly cash crops like tree fruit and raisins. That's about equal to Russia's entire annual gold production at current prices.

And yet I thought you said in another thread that you hope for a spirited debate rather than mean spirited? I guess, words sound good, but they are harder to put into practice.

AH ... don't forget the nature of the enemy. Everything is as it should be, and the hour draws near.

Most people wouldn't take that as mean spirited - unless one constantly feels persecuted, that is.

328   Bap33   2009 Dec 26, 10:39am  

funny thing ... if someone is constantly attacked, they just might notice it now and then. And funny thing, a bully allways calls their targets crybabies/complainers when the targets respond to the bully. Most people realize these little tid bits - unless it is inconvieniant. Like spell-check is inconvieniant for me. lol

Is that what this thread has become? Who called who a bad name? I think that's the sign that it's probably time to lay it to rest...

Me paying for YOUR health care is slavery if I have no choice but to pay or be fined or imprisoned.

Me paying for YOUR roads is slavery!

roads are for public use
personal health care is --- taa daa --- personal.

ok tatupu, we are back on track!! lol Merry Christmas

tatu would love not to acknowledge that health care "reform" is not only a waste of time, but will also fill the pockets of insurance companies at taxpayer's expense. So would ellie and nomo who have fought hard to make this a name calling and ad hominem affair rather than discussing the real issues.

332   elliemae   2009 Dec 28, 9:58pm  

yawn.

A waste of time?? Are you kidding? So, you think the status quo is the best we can do?

334   Bap33   2009 Dec 29, 10:47pm  

two seperate halves, no match, no bill. It's just pissed away time and cash and a prez and media all excited that he will get to thump his chest like King Kong and say, "we did SOMETHING!!". Barry is a communist puke. And the leftist media is just a guilty for creating him.

This “health care reform” bill is a waste of time and money, and essentially a perpetuation of the status quo you so disdain.
