To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors. Because there are so many things at risk right now — perhaps in another question I’ll go into them, if you want. But the fact is that elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do… But when it comes to a place where there doesn’t seem to be shared values then that can be problematic for the country, as I think you can see right now. (Emphasis added.)
See a video of Pelosi’s comments here.
Pelosi basically said the will of the people should not be allowed to get in the way of the mandates of the state and the elite that own and control it. Republicans need to take control of the party and put an end to the growing calls for fiscal sanity in government. The very existence of the warfare-welfare state is at stake.

Bloody Sunday, 2010: House OKs health bill

GOP: 'This is not about uninsured; it is about socialized medicine'

clipped from www.wnd.com Democrats in the House needed 216 votes to pass the Senate's version of a sweeping health-care package Barack Obama has been pushing with all his presidential might. They tallied 219. Democrats hailed the vote as a landmark victory. Republicans in Congress, however, who voted in a solid block to oppose the measure that many argue grants the federal government far too much power at far too much of a cost, blasted the bill during the debate as the "mother of all unfunded mandates." "The American people know you can't reduce health-care costs by spending $1 trillion or raising taxes by more than one-half trillion dollars. The American people know that you cannot cut Medicare by over one-half trillion dollars without hurting seniors," said Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich. "And, the American people know that you can't create an entirely new government entitlement program without exploding spending and the deficit." "From a pro-life prospective, I find absolutely no comfort in this executive order,"

clipped from motorcitytimes.com Obamas pollster is telling him that Americans are going love Socialized Medicine once it is passed: “When it comes to health care and insurance, once reform passes, the tangible benefits Americans will realize will trump the fear-mongering rhetoric opponents are stoking today,” Benenson wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Saturday. I’m sure Americans are going to love the fact that this legislation is going to be passed by parliamentarian wrangling and not by the will of the people. Another feature of socialized  that Americans are going to love is being told NO, you can’t have this or that procedure. And you know Medicare denies more claims than private insurance (on both the total number and percentage basis).

Medicare payment reductions worry doctors, patients

clipped from www.baynews9.com ST. PETERSBURG (Bay News 9) -- March begins with a financial blow for doctors, who are facing a major reduction in Medicare payments. The 21-percent reduction is the result of what some say is an outdated reimbursement formula from the 1990s. Over the years, Congress managed to waive the deficit reduction measure, but legislators failed to repeal it last week. "A 21-percent cut is large, and a little shocking," he said. "You have to figure out your practice style or your lifestyle, if you're gonna make a lot less money." The AMA said the state of Florida's 3 million Medicare beneficiaries already face a shortage of doctors. They estimate that there are only 15 practicing physicians for every 1,000 Medicare patients. The Obama administration is asking that no Medicare payments be reimbursed for the first 10 business days of March, in hopes that the problem will be solved with the end of the Senate stalemate.

OBAMA'S HEALTH PLAN -- TAXES, TAXES EVERYWHERE

Image by Getty Images via Daylife

clipped from www.ncpa.org The White House recently released President Obama's health care reform proposal.  The plan incorporates a mixture of the many tax increases passed by the House and Senate, hiking taxes by almost $750 billion over ten years.  This is on top of $1.3 trillion in other tax increases the President recently proposed in his 2011 budget.  Not that there is ever a good time to raise taxes, but doing so as the economy is still emerging from a deep recession is particularly ill-advised and will likely prolong full recovery.  Moreover, the President's proposal deviates from his stated goal to address the soaring spending and debt problem the nation faces by piling on massive new spending and taxes, says the Heritage Foundation.  How will the president's plan affect payroll taxes?  How will seniors be affected by the Medicare payroll tax?  Seniors also sell assets to raise income, so raising the tax on capital gains further reduces their resources.

Read His Lips: Obama Calls for Increasing Payroll Taxes on ‘Households’ Earning Less Than $250,000 Per Year

Image via Wikipedia

clipped from cnsnews.com (CNSNews.com) - President Obama presented a new health care plan on Monday that calls for raising the Medicare payroll tax on some households earning less than $250,000, an apparent breach of his campaign pledge not to raise taxes on families earning less than that amount. The president’s plan also calls for increasing taxes on interest, dividends, annuities, royalties and rents. In a Sept. 12, 2008 campaign speech in Dover, N.H, Obama said: “And I can make a firm pledge: Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase—not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your  taxes.” But the new health care plan released in summary form yesterday by the White House specifically calls for increasing the Medicare payroll tax on “households with incomes exceeding $200,000 for singles and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly.”

Will Baby Boomers Bankrupt Social Security?

clipped from www.cnbc.com As the record federal budget deficit draws increasing scrutiny from Washington to Wall Street to Main Street, deficit hawks may take aim at entitlement programs including Social Security. Photo: Jonathan D. Colman And, the nearly 80 million Baby Boomers phasing into retirement will set in motion a dynamic that—if not addressed by Congress—could result in the next generation getting fewer benefits. By 2017, Social Security is expected to start paying out more than it collects in payroll taxes, according to the 2009 Annual Report from the Social Security and Medicare Board of Trustees. There is currently a large surplus, but it will be drained by the year 2037. At that point, Social Security will only be able to pay out 75 percent of its benefits. A separate report, done by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, concludes much the same thing, but gives the system another 10 years before it begins to fall apart.
