+24Look how fast the libtards fell for global warming now they saying wait a minute we need more time to study this. Libtards doctored up studies on weather how many times even changed the wording on the weather warming. Obama was ready to jump on with cap and trade just a excuse to tax us. Now libtards trying to poke at fox on weather this is just great for the evening laugh.
I don't subscribe to FOX, but I can easily see that this story did not originate with that organization.
This post is a baiting post to attack FOX and nothing more.
we know how THEY are.
but you do have his name... look him up... i bet he's well known climate scientist who knows what he's talking about.
that's why I don't watch them!
oh, you didn't know?
you must have missed your NewsCorp memo.
Do you understand this was NOT their opinion but only a news story?
Why have you NOT gone back into the video to tell me WHERE they say FOX believes it is Global Warming?
did you know they sued for and won the right to LIE to their news consumers?
REPORT REUTERS NEWS STORY! :) LOL
Trust me, I would be JUST as adamant IF some conservative had posted this about MSNBC!!!!
This is just not right! :(
Tell me..... Did FOX say "WIND FARMS CAUSE GLOBAL WARMING?"
A simple yes or no and don't waste my with you silly little web sites you have stored in some Word bin! I'm not impressed!
Let's take a look at that study from a very politically biased organization and their data...from 2010 that they led them to believe respondents were mis-informed...
Re Fox viewers..and the " study " from 2010...that was stated to prove mis-information....this is now hilarious.
91% believe that the stimulus legislation lost jobs. ( ever heard of Solyndra?...let alone the loss in overall jobs since then...um...when the unemployment numbers go up...duh...people tend to think jobs are lost....duh. )
72% believe that the health reform law will increase the deficit. ( well duh...that has been confirmed )
72% believe that the economy is getting worse. ( um...I think people who don't think the economy is worse are the mis-informed...)
60% believe that climate change is not occurring. ( "climate change"...can't blame people for being sick of the ever CHANGING moniker....to fund AL GORE...)
49% believe that income taxes have gone up. ( well...since we had to ALL the way to December...to learn that Obama was going to keep the tax cuts in place...then ...yes..the perception was they went ...

63% believe that the stimulus legislation did not include any tax cuts. ( it didn't for middle class working people watching their paycheck...)
56% believe that Obama initiated the GM/Chrysler bailout. ( Pres. Obama took credit for it....why wouldn't people think that? )
38% believe that most Republicans opposed TARP. ( This Reg. Independent knows better..)
63% believe that Obama was not born in the US (or that it is unclear). ( gave a whole lot of people something to be distracted about...perpetuated by the incompetent administration that couldn't get their act together and pony up the paperwork for years...stupid )
You address my response to him with NOTHING about what I ask. Rather you TWIST and SPIN into something you two wish to discuss!
Debate does not work that way with me darlin! You wish to respond to me, respond according to the issue that is being addressed, NOT spinning into a direction of absolute immaterial and delusional files you two store in some "Word" file!
Thanks! OS
I am hardly a paid blogger...and I think it is important to assume someone has something important to say that they think....versus starting off with an initial attack...based on a a mis-perception. Hombre got it.

I will say that people are generally ill-informed overall, ie...have no clue who their representative is...couldn't name the Speaker of the House, the Senate Majority leader...

I respect Ford for not taking stimulus monies....companies need to sink or swim on their own ( unless there is a national security issue...such as the airlines for example)
Re the stimulus ....guess those 91% were ahead of their time...with a more current estimate by the CBO:
"The Congressional Budget Office on Tuesday downgraded its estimate of the benefits of President Obama’s 2009 stimulus package, saying it may have sustained as few as 700,000 jobs at its peak last year and that over the long run it will actually be a net drag on the economy.

CBO said that while the Recovery Act boosted the economy in the short run, the extra debt that the stimulus piled up “crowds out” private investment and “will reduce output slightly in the long run — by between 0 and 0.2 percent after 2016.” http://www.washingtontimes.co...
Re PPACA:
Blogs like Huff Post, and name your op-eds...are still opinion.
I respect opinions by Physicians more than those...
"The Impact of the Affordable Care Act
On the Economy, Employers, and the Workforce
Paul Howard, PhD
Senior Fellow and Director
Center for Medical Progress
Manhattan Institute for Policy Research
"Unfortunately, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is not the solution to our health
care woes. If anything, the Affordable Care Act ―doubles down‖ on many of the worst aspects of our
current system, while adding new cost pressures and problems that will serve as a drag on economic
growth and job creation for years to come.
I believe that the negative economic impacts of the Affordable Care Act can be separated into
three broad categories:
PPACA will Increase the Deficit, Not Reduce It
PPACA will Increase Insurance Costs and Reduce Employment
Regulatory Uncertainty under PPACA will Hinder Job Creation
In turn, I will discuss why the Affordable Care Act is much more likely to increase the deficit than reduce it; explain how the mandates, taxes, and penalties that it imposes on insurers and employers will
increase health care costs and decrease employment; and conclude by exploring the negative effects of
regulatory uncertainty at a time when companies are ―sitting‖ on trillions of dollars in cash that could
be used for job creation.
PPACA WILL INCREASE THE DEFICIT, NOT REDUCE IT"
http://edworkforce.house.gov/...
"Projected Medicare costs over 75 years are substantially lower than they otherwise would be because of provisions in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the "Affordable Care Act" or ACA). Most of the ACA-related cost saving is attributable to a REDUCTION IN ANNUAL PAYMENT updates for most Medicare services (other than physicians’ services and drugs) by total economy multifactor productivity growth, which the Trustees project will average 1.1 percent per year. The report notes that sustaining these payment reductions indefinitely WILL REQUIRE UNPRECEDENTED EFFICIENCY-ENHANCING INNOVATIONS IN HEALTH CARE PAYMENT AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS THAT ARE BY NO MEANS CERTAIN will require unprecedented efficiency-enhancing innovations in health care payment and delivery systems that are by no means certain. In addition, the Trustees assume an almost 31-percent reduction in Medicare payment rates for physician services will be implemented in 2013 as required by current law, which is also highly uncertain.
Re the costs...from the trustees....on SS and Medicare ( which is directly affected by the PPACA)
please note that the report indicates these reductions...or "savings"...will come because of the reduction of payments to....AND reduction in services.
YOU KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST POSSIBLE SPIN ON THEIR OWN POLICY...NO ADMIN IS ANY DIFFERENT.....
BY THEIR ON WORDS....signed by T.GEITHNER ( Mr. I can't figure out Turbo Tax or have the integrity to do my own taxes right..Geithner...)
the only reduction...er savings...will be reduction in CHOICE, SERVICES...and ESSENTIALLY FREEDOMS TO DETERMINE OUR OWN HEALTH CARE DESTINY...versus moving into cost to benefit tables that determine whether we are "worthy" of a procedure or not when we are older, or disabled...

Re taxes:.....we are spending too much....i.....because 50% do not pay ANY INCOME TAXES...
We cannot sustain a system where 1/2 of the people have no scratch in the game....
save me the I don't care about the poor....( we really have no idea what poor is in this country for the most part as compared to the rest of the world ) My income is considered just above poverty...but I have a home, a car, and Dish sateliite, my son is in grad school, have a disabled child we care for at home...
We have created a system that is gradually shifting our own decision making with our own money to a socialistic or worse system.
gotta head to work.....
The sites I posted are directly from the document..."31% reduction of Medicare payments".....
I do not think physicians are overpaid by Medicare....The natural fall out ...if I were a physician...is that I would decide not to see Medicare patients...
"CBO and JCT estimated that enacting PPACA and the health-related provisions of the Reconciliation Act would reduce federal deficits by $124 billion over the 2010-2019 period."
IF THAT IS EVEN ACCURATE...AND I AM NOT BUYING IT....they have recalculated and recalculated....and the program hasn't even begun yet!!...and the savings have already been reduced...
do you see how utterly dismal that would be?....can you do the math...12 billion a year...is not even a drop in the bucket....to the deficit we have now...let alone the debt we would have by 2019.....and this is a HUGE program....that ultimately should have more of a positive impact.
AARP cannot wait to have it implemented....you do realize they stand to make billions ....as an insurance provider...
When has govt...ever ever EVAH simplified things....

I work for the govt...h.s.teacher/school nurse....I am employed by the trifecta of complicated buearacracy...education/healt...
I do not see the govt doing it better that individuals and private organizations cannot do better and certainly cheaper. This is true in just about any type of business or even educational results like home-schooling. The more layers that become in place...the less accountable people are ..spending other peoples' money.
My first experience with this ...was a program thru Medicaid that is supposed to help schools off-set some of the costs with educating students with health and special needs. We are allowed to bill medicaid for services that are provided..with documentation...
Examples are..transportation, medication, procedures provided etc....
The thing is...not only do I do the billing side for my small rural school...I have a disabled child ...that attended a different school ( when she was in school--about 3 years ago)
I hope you will stay with me on this...it is long and complicated....I am not going to copy and paste a bunch of stuff...
If you can respond to some of these personal issues...i may know you are not a sock...
Back to my daughter...she is non-verbal..wears diapers...but CAN walk and would travel on a typical yellow school bus with a 4-point harness seatbelt for her safety. She would not have an associate assigned to just her...Most of the years of her traveling on the bus from the school down the road from where I work...which is just like the one in the district we live in essentially..she traveled on the bus with just the driver and about 9 other students who have a variety of needs that were met in Waterloo Iowa.
Ok...if you have private insurance ( we do thru my work, husband farms )...you actually SEE the billing done to Medicaid because it must go to private insurance first..be denied..and then it is moved on to Medicaid..( nothing unusual about that )
I personally do the billing for our district..because It saves our district money by me doing it or absorbing it into my duties...versus paying some company 15% or so to do the paperwork.
Our home district....where our daughter was served by...chose to use a billing agency..that would file paperwork...and then take a 15% cut. Since our home district turns over their paperwork to the agency...there is no one really accountable for the integrity of it...they just sit back and wait for a check from Medicaid, or Iowa Medicaid Enterprise..( IME )
Ok...in 2010...we receive EOB statements ( explanation of benefits ) that you receive whenever one's insurance is billed. And guess what...our insurance is being billed for around $1800 per month for transportation....( that's right...the bus ride ) At first thought..I thought...oh my,....someone got their billing coding all wrong...they are charging as if it is an ambulance...or whatever...( remember I do this too...so I am not just a bystanding parent.--and even tho the money does NOT directly come out of my pocket...I think whoa....what is up.)
I call the school...they have no idea...remember they are not doing the billing....
Since private insurance has denied it...( like duh ) then it is passed onto Medicaid where it is paid out like water...
I call the agency doing the billing. I explain my concerns...I am still thinking that this is all a big whoops...that I will describe my daughter...explain her situation..that yes..she is disabled..and yes she does travel about 23 mi one way to a PUBLIC school ( that already receives our education tax dollars) but that helps with students like her...
days later...I get a call from the owner of the company....DANN STEVENS ( this won't mean anything to you...but I will continue to shout out this perpeptuator of fraud to the taxpayers of Iowa....smoozing me...and implying that I do not want my district to receive dollars that must be helpful to them.
BY NOW...THE DISTRICT HAS RECEIVED ALMOST SIXTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS JUST FOR RIDING A BUS...when it should have been properly billed under a much lower transportation coding ( remember I do this daily at my job ) at .39 cents per mile....helping the school extra...yes, more in the realm of $1800 per year. ( The school already receives fundng through taxes for my daughters education----they are a great school...our home school district means well....they just dont' realize what is going on...because..again..they do NOT DO THE PAPERWORK....)
Our home school NOW realizes it was wrong....( only because I had to convince them over and over that taking THAT much money was not accurate...they have not paid the state back...
The agency run by DANN STEVENS ( Timberline Billing ) has NO incentive...other than something called INTEGRITY to bill less...because..remember they get 15%...the current rate...
I turned them into IME fraud dept.
Timberline turned in paperwork...( not sure what that would change...) to try and demonstrate that it was okay...
I am the first MOTHER, I am told by IME that has called to complain about services of Medicaid billed on behalf of her daughter...
Here it is ...2012....and the investigation is still going on.
I tried securing a public attorney....and since I was not PERSONALLY harmed financially or physically...then they cannot serve.
I cannot afford to pay an attny myself to get this set right...to pay back the money to what should never have been paid out.
I KNOW THAT I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE...
What have we created here in America?!??!?
YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME THAT MONEY WILL BE MORE WISELY SPENT AND MORE EFFICIENT WITH THE GOVT DEEPER INTO THE DECISION MAKING....LET ALONE INVOLVED IN CARE DECISIONS.
My brother and family lived in the UK for 15 years...and have since moved back...most of their health care was ok...they were in Birmingham and near London....however..it is NOT the same when you are in the same pool as everyone else...
