Just wondering why movie about Zombies is doing well at the box office while Republicans are feeding off the dead and dying. They’ve turned over their party to talking head entertainers, try to keeping pounding “tax credits” like sand down rat holes, and have no new ideas. Guess art does imitate life after all.

Simply put if insurance premiums increase at the same rate they have over the last five years, by 2019, the cost of an employer to provide family insurance to an employee will reach 31,000 dollars a year. About half the median wage for that family.

If we are extremely lucky and the rate increases only at the rate it has increased over the last ten years, that figure of cost for a business to insure a family will only be 26,600.

Simply put there are only two options. To pass the additional 17,000 dollars in cost to the employee.
Or to stop providing health insurance to employees. Simple.

The Repugs hate anything that helps the common person; the most recent vote on extending unemployment benefits to the unemployed was voted down by 6 of the elected repugs from our state. How sad they have so little concern for the average Georgian, who would rather have a job than unemployment, but can’t find any job anywhere. I guess the homeless rate, the foreclosure rate and the hunger rate just isn’t high enough for them to be bothered about caring enough to do something constructive. Maybe, it would help, if the six figure salary our elected reps and senators receive was withdrawn and then they could see what life is really like on the edge.

We need medical insurance reform. We need genuine cooperation on dealing with the issues of the day. I know that profits is the name of the game, but profits at the expense of the common citizenry is just foolhardy. In fact, I have adopted the habit of voluntary simplicity as a way to control spending; I just refuse to spend money with companies that do not care about me or my concerns. I have been assessing my spending and changing companies when needed. The Dems need to take a hard look at themselves; get a weekend’s worth of rest and then comeback swing with attitude and a lot can be accomplished.

Ohmygosh, I’m gone for couple hours, and it’s “Girls and Boys Gone Wild.” Anyhoo, NIF, I agree that President Obama attended a prestigious school while living in Hiwaii with his grandparents. I also agree he was admitted to Harvard because of exceptional grades, just as former President Clinton was exceptional. Both Clinton and Obama are the ‘exceptions to the rule,’ you might say, in that they are both intellectually exceptional. However, many intellectually superior fall through the crack.

I know this is not Heaven, as my Mom always told me. But I believe every child in the USA should be educated to the point they are willing and able to achieve. Forget the family, connections etc. etc. If the kid is able to achieve, he should be able to attend medical school. We keep hearing we have a shortage of physicans and nurses, so what’s the problem? If he/she can’t ‘cut the mustard,’ then he can train for something else. No poppycrap about “Poppa and Grandpoppa graduated from Harvard, Emory, Yale.” God don’t have any grandchildren, so schools shouldn’t base their acceptance of students on family ties…..
But then we have that pesky little thing called money….money talks….

Oh well, this ain’t Heaven.

In fact, they’ve officially voted to prevent the bill from being posted on the internet for 72 hours so the american public can read it before Congress votes on it.

Why is that Jay? Don’t we have a right to know what they’re planning and deciding?

What are they so scared of?
I know….. The truth and the facts…… ROFL !

Pelosi has also scrapped the deal she made with the “blue dogs” in favor of the public option, no matter what.

Bye, bye democrat majority in 2010.

LMAO !

Bosch and I were here first! There’s only two of them and ya’ gotta’ draw the line at sharing somewhere!

wait…. there was that episode of Baltar in bed with both of them…

Sorry, Bosch, I’m asserting my national interest. Two for me!

So say we all!!!

(if my wife ever reads blogs I’m dead meat…. oh well, I tried sleeping on the couch on the showroom floor, just in case…)
