Health Care Profiteering--WTF

Just heard on the radio a woman bought a generic drug for $4.00. She went back 3 months later and it was $160.00 for the same generic from a different company.

Our health care system is completely screwed.

Effort to preserve Shrub's Midland Home

How about turning into a Museum on how Shrub was asleep at the switch in 2001.

Your Thoughts On How Sequester Plays Out?

I am not optimistic President Obama will get any additional revenues.

Right now the Rethugs have their way with 100 percent cuts. I don't see them trading that for any measure that adds taxes.

For me, the sequester was another example of you can't negotiate with crazy.

Your thoughts?

Baby Russert and Totally False Equivalence

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/03/07/luke-russert-gohmerts-golf-ban-on-obama-reveals-a-pettiness-on-both-sides

Doesn’t this reveal the petty and personal nature of Republican opposition to this president?” MSNBC host Martin Bashir asked Russert on Wednesday.“How is it petty by the president to apply the sequester since it’s something that he didn’t want but it’s been imposed?” Bashir pressed.

“Because the idea, Martin, is by putting that forward that there would be no more tours of the White House, who does that stick it to? That really sticks it to rank-and-file congressmen, who ordinarily would promise those types of tours to their constituents,” Russert insisted.

“It sticks it to the public!” Bashir shot back. “And it’s the public who are being injured by the sequester.”

Russert needs to be sequestered doing the weather in some far away land.

Rancid Paul Revere

Funny, with a name like that he really should be sounding the alarm in the Senate on the real threat to the United States--Tea Party Baggers.

The statement that Retired GOP Thug Kyl will not do any lobbying for the next 2 years...

is not intended to be a factual statement.

First Annual Rethug Sequestrian Event

I'd like to welcome our viewers today to the first ever GOP Sequestrian Event. I can promise you a very exciting day. Let's get right to describing our competition. Our first two competitors are Turtle McConnell and Lucky Strikes Boner.

Our two competitors have quite a challenge today, as you know while they keep the 1% happy, they will over come the following obstacles:

1. Slash funds from Head Start

2. Furlough Air Traffic Controllers

3. Lay-off Title One school teachers

4. Lay-off FDA meat inspectors

5. Keep kids out of Head Start

6. Reduce our National Security

All while making sure President Obama gets the blame.

Well-it's about Post Time, and you can see our two competitors downing their pre-race drink consisting of Tea Bag dregs, and whatever else that allows them to scale these obstacles without a shred of empathy for anyone not of the one percent.

WSJ says government spending cuts hurt economic growth...no really

WSJ quote in article:

The U.S. economy grew slightly in the fourth quarter of 2012—a reversal from an initial report of contraction—but the meager showing underscored that government spending cuts are slowing the recovery's momentum.

Gubermint helps spur growth, or so writes the lobster wrap of the perfumed princes of purloined pennies.

Apparently, not even the Wall Street Bankers can penetrate the tin foil dome inhabited by Tea Baggers.
