This morning on the news the message was "things are looking up now that the unreasonable obstacle to raising the debt ceiling has been removed". This is the exact opposite of reality. The message should be "in another setback to a sustainable future, the House gave up its fight to reign in government's outrageous spending spree." Frankly I don't care if they fund obamacare or not. The budget must be balanced. The only reason we have this fight over ACA is that there is no expectation that we even HAVE a budget. The rest is just details. Let them borrow money and they will argue over where to spend it, but they will still spend it. Obamacare will be the same as social security, it will just collapse sooner. We'll all pay but get no benefits.

The cost to care for smokers is minute compared to those with AIDS...those who also had a choice and chose wrong.<br /><br />Hell, there's all kind of waste in medical care...every time a woman gets knocked up she gets to take three months off with pay..and now some are even giving fraternity leave as well! <br /><br />And we issue food stamps, then authorize them to be used for fast food so we can fatten up those who need government help the most, then we give them free medical care to treat their obesity and type II diabetes and heart problems.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-8355342818556679752013-10-17T07:31:13.241-07:002013-10-17T07:31:13.241-07:00Your comparison of smokers to those with venereal ...Your comparison of smokers to those with venereal disease is comparing apples to oranges. The costs of smoking and smoking related diseases dwarfs that of any other single medical expenditure. Never mind that smoking and smoking related diseases kill in the neighborhood of HALF A MILLION people a year in the U.S., the sheer cost of treating those smokers that manage to live is staggering, to the tune of $30 billion a year between Federal and State direct medical expenditures. This does not even take into account the even more staggering costs of survivor benefits paid by Social Security to the spouses and children of those who have managed to kill themselves by smoking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-5967729359330321432013-10-17T06:07:37.075-07:002013-10-17T06:07:37.075-07:00Craig, re research recommendations, google White H...Craig, re research recommendations, google White House.gov then read the Affordable Care Act...then there are hundreds of analyses citing the programs pluses and minuses. have fun, there's lots there to read.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-14761314039668161062013-10-17T05:31:35.615-07:002013-10-17T05:31:35.615-07:00Damn, well you have just taken my free time away.N...Damn, well you have just taken my free time away.Not that i think your info is wrong, now I am going to have to do the research for myself so as to document the true obummer care for the liberal morons here in CA.Any good place to start?
