Canadian Healthcare is "Imploding"

According to the Canadian Press: "Dr. Anne Doig says patients are getting less than optimal care and she adds that physicians from across the country - who will gather in Saskatoon on Sunday for their annual meeting - recognize that changes must be made.

"'We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize,' Doing said in an interview with The Canadian Press."

Mmmm hmmmm....

And what are we trying to do in this country? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Shame on our politicians who are literally falling over themselves to get control of yet another aspect of our lives!

Take Down The Little Girl!!!!

OK, so there was a town hall that Obama spoke at where he “randomly” selected a little girl from the audience who was worried about the mean things people were saying about ObamaCare … now named HopenchangeCare or HNCC for short.

Michelle Malkin determined that the girl is the daughter of an Obama campaign supporter and routed out the fact that this was anything but a “random” selection from the audience.

Now liberals are furious about it! “Because she got to ask president Obama a question at a town hall forum. Bad idea! (She was an "in-the-tank questioner.") The girl may as well have painted a bull's eye on her back because Malkin and her online detective pals are takin' that kid down!!”

Oh, and I love the comment by one of the posters: “My personal definition of ideologue is someone who puts their "principles" before the real-life needs of real people.” Ummm… if you don’t stand by your principles what are you? If everything to you is wishy-washy and you change your position 100 times a day, what are you? How can you define “needs of the people”? What are needs? Don’t different people have differing needs? What does all of this make you? Answer: A lib.

FAIL!

The story from AP: “But what LaHood and other administration officials usually don't mention is that some trucks and sport-utility vehicles that get less than 20 miles per gallon, like the Ford F-150 truck and one version of the Cadillac SRX Crossover, also are being purchased with the new government subsidies. Both are bulky vehicles weighing more than 6,000 pounds when loaded that boast at least 248 horsepower … Ledesma hopes to sell the other 14 at the dealership, along with some of the Hummer H3Ts on the lot that are eligible for clunker rebates.”

So the government can’t even run a car program correctly as they have showed us several times. First we ran out of $1B that was slated for the program in 6 days causing it to come to a screeching halt (pun intended). Next, we learn that after funding the program with $2B more dollars there has been a dramatic slowdown in demand. Now we learn that the program designed to get low gas mileage vehicles off the road and replace them with fuel sippers is allowing rebates for HUMMER vehicles, trucks, and other SUVs that get less than 20 mpg.

Can this administration do anything right? Oh, yeah, they can fix healthcare and do that right. Sure they can….

Politician = Liar; Democrat Politician = Free Pass

"I have not said that I am a supporter of a single-payer system," Obama tells the crowd in New Hampshire.

Yeah, ummmm hmmmmm… There is a video from August 2008 where Obama states “If I were designing a system from scratch, I would probably go ahead with a single-payer system” or in 2003 when he said “I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health-care program . . . we may not get there immediately" and then telling an SEIU Health Care Forum in 2007, "I don't think we're going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There's going to be some transition process. I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out where we've got a much more portable system."

Come on! Are you seriously going to stand there reading your teleprompter and blatantly lie to the American people?!?! What is wrong with this country is that we elect these idiots to office. Can’t we do better than that?

Federal deficit higher in July, $1.27T this year

…but hey, there is 2 months left for the o’mighty PreBO to find this money to close that gap. I’m sure he will be able to reduce the budget by, say, $100 million or so. What a joke!

Also, recall that Timmy wants to raise the available debt limit to $12+ trillion. We are in for some serious trouble if that happens. Let’s do some simple math. Assume our interest rate is only 3% on the outstanding balance of our government debts. $12,000,000,000,000 * 0.03 = 360,000,000,000 or $360 billion a year. That’s $360 billion that the imperial federal government is going to STEAL from you at the point of a gun just to cover the interest payments on our debt! In other words, that $360 billion, or about $1,000 extra per person in this country that they would not have to pay in taxes. But hey, the government can do no wrong, right? Riiiiiiiggght!

Global Warming Scare!!!

We got to do something NOW! Listen to what our esteemed Senator has to say:

According to Senator Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.), "Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes."

Maybe I am off here but I don’t think we have one named tropical storm this year much less a single hurricane. Also, I am unaware of any tornadoes… maybe you all can correct me on that?

Furthermore, I love how she says that we need to do something about global warming because “I feel it when I’m flying” and dumping millions of tons of carbon into the air from the jet fuel used by the plane. Moron! Do as I say, not as I do. Why do I expect this now?

Open Debate… Uh, huh…

Is this what open debate is about? Answering a cell phone in the middle of a question???
