Cash Crunch, Press Silence: As ObamaCare Advances In Congress, Uncle Sam's Collections Continue Stee

- You don't have to be an economic genius to figure out that the input of cash is less than the output of cash by the Federal government. That's one of the primary reasons people are protesting across this nation. We can't keep doing this the way we're doing it. They are playing politics with it, plain and simple.

    A plan to slash more than $500 billion from future Medicare spending — one of the biggest sources of funding for President Obama's proposed overhaul of the nation's health-care system — would sharply reduce benefits for some senior citizens and could jeopardize access to care for millions of others, according to a government evaluation released Saturday.

    The report, requested by House Republicans, found that Medicare cuts contained in the health package approved by the House on Nov. 7 are likely to prove so costly to hospitals and nursing homes that they could stop taking Medicare altogether.

    Polling data show that Mr. Obama's approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama's net presidential approval rating -- which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve -- is just six, his lowest rating to date.
    M.E. CohenOverall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president's performance. This is a substantial degree of polarization so early in the administration. Mr. Obama has lost virtually all of his Republican support and a good part of his Independent support, and the trend is decidedly negative.

    "The August Congressional Budget Office budget forecast for the fiscal year that began last month says that Uncle Sam will take in $2.264 trillion from October 2009 through September 2010. That's an increase of 7.6% over fiscal 2009's intake of $2.105 trillion. "

    Here's some math for ya. They plan to increase revenues by 7.6%. However, I cannot find any projection that says personal and business income are to increase by that much. So how does the government plan to increase their receipts, when the taxpayer's incomes aren't going up that much? By increasing taxes.

    Oh, and it won't be increased for ONLY the wealthy (who tend to contribute handsomely to political campaigns).

    Taxes are going up even without these two huge mistakes. That was the theme at my tax conference, and that is the feelings of most of my clients. Taxes ARE going up, government cannot fund herself as it is.

    I couldn't have said it better

    "The establishment press paid very little attention to fiscal 2009's drop of 19.5% in receipts from economic activity, so I expect similar treatment of October's continuation of the trend. It would appear that they don't want any unsettling news getting in the way of the statist agenda."

    I know that 1+1=2 and 1 billion - 2 billion = a negative number!
    I'm not good with negative numbers. But, even though I am a RWNJ, I think this is not a good thing.

    "I do solemnly swear that I will SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES against all enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC . . . that I will well and FAITHFULLY DISCHARGE THE DUTIES of the office on which I am about to enter."

    So swore the Obama and Pelosi sycophants when they took office. Apparently these were only words, mere political promises that they could discard with a wink and a smile when they gained the accouterments of power.

    Exactly how is forcing Americans to buy health care at the penalty of prison time "supporting and defending" - or even following - the Constitution?

    How is cutting off debate and forcing fellow members to vote on far-reaching legislation they not have time to read "supporting and defending" the Constitution?

    How is recklessly spending money we do not have (or ever hope to have) - thus spiraling the nation into inexorable bankruptcy and relegating the nation to future third-world status - "well and faithfully" discharging one's duties?

    And where is the press, that supposed "watchdog of democracy," while our nation is systematically destroyed from within by crass politicians beholden to a foreign ideology hostile to representative democracy and interested only in furthering their own influence and enjoying the perks of power?
