Republicans Disrespect Obama on Debt Ceiling

Paul O'Neill, Bush's Secretary of the Treasury, said that those opposed to raising the debt ceiling are terrorists, akin to al-Qaeda.

However, at the moment it is only they who are actually trying to do something about the problem, while the Dems are sitting back and doing nothing.

" There is no need to have a Democratic budget in my opinion. It would be foolish for us to do a budget at this stage."

Harry Reid, LA Times, May 19, 2011

Yea - great concern about the country you have there, Harry.

Spend our way out of recession ? We spent all the money in the WORLD_ What good is Keynes plan...

Autho writes “Then there's his lookalike shipmate, Rep. Paul Ryan, author of the so-called "Ryan plan," which hacks Medicare to death.”

Does Jamie Stiehm explain how Ryan’s plan does that ? Of corse not, she is a liberal after all. She wants obamacare. obamacare__ throws Ganny from the train:

"Why Paul Ryan’s Medicare Is So Much Better Than Obama’s"

"How does obamacare cut cost, but help "people who are poor or people who are powerless or don’t have a lobbyist or don’t have clout.”

"cuts in payments to doctors and hospitals under Medicare as provided in current law due to Obamacare and President Obama’s Medicare reimbursement policies is $15 trillion!"

"These Medicare cuts were the foundation for CBO finding that Obamacare would actually reduce the deficit, despite adopting or expanding three entitlement programs.

"Medicare’s Chief Actuary reports that even before these cuts already two-thirds of hospitals were losing money on Medicare patients."

"The unworkable, draconian effect of these Medicare cuts is why the U.S. Government Accountability Office issued a disclaimer..."

Unlike Ryan’s careful Medicare reforms, these draconian, unworkable, Obamacare cuts to Medicare apply to seniors already retired today. Ryan exempts from any change all seniors retired today and everyone over age 55. On these grounds alone, Ryan’s Medicare is better for today’s seniors than Medicare under Obamacare.

That will involve an additional $500 billion in Medicare cuts for today’s seniors by 2023, “and an additional one trillion dollars in the decade after that,” in Obama’s own words.

"Obama proposed to give even more power to the unelected, unaccountable, Washington bureaucrats on his Commission to cut Medicare further, by undemocratic automatic sequester that bypasses Congress entirely."

"Seniors would do far better each choosing their own health insurers themselves in a competitive marketplace, which is the system that has generated the highest standard of living in the world in America for all goods and services."

"Even President Obama was forced to admit before the Facebook audience that the Ryan Medicare plan “will control costs, except if you get sick and the policy that you bought doesn’t cover what you’ve got….If you’re somebody who’s older and has a pre-existing condition, insurance companies won’t take you.” But that’s not how the private insurance companies under Medicare Advantage work. Nor is that true of the private Medigap plans, whose sellers include AARP, central players in Obama’s own political machine."

"Let me remind you I write an opinion column - by nature subjective, not objective."

It must take a special mentality to be proud of holding and espousing opinions that are as openly and blatantly dishonest and biased as yours.
