So Let's See What Happens

[BanginJimmy]

As I said Jimmy, we'll see.

We already know 99% of the script.

The wars and the debt will increase,

If debt and wars HAVE to increase then whats the point in whining about it? It will happen no matter who is in charge.

it has to increase for Cheney and Bush and even the company I work for to ball in billions a month.

In case you havet figured it out yet, Bush is retired. The community organizer is screwing up the show now.

The statements I make aren't pulled from TV most of the time.

Not surprising as it seems they are coming from thin air.

I do lots of internet research when I can, seeing as I do not have the internet at home or TV.

That is definitely easy to understand considering most of your predictions.

I also just look at things, things that aren't any better than what they were less that 10yrs ago

This is kind of what misleading because for 7 of the last years the country was rolling along. Booming economy, relatively low unemployment, stock market was rising quickly. Then we went into a deep recession caused by the housing bubble collapsing.

and I talk to people, grown, young, middle-aged for my source people that arent up top and are working every damn day like me and you but watching their actual "worth" become less and less.

Not sure what you mean by this. If you mean wealth, then unless they cashed out their 401k and other IRAs and put it into a bank they should be gaining wealth at a decent clip right now. It may be down a bit from where it was in early '07, but it is rising. Housing prices only matter if you are selling. If you arent selling your house right now, who cares what its currently worth?

I dont concern myself all that much with TV, everyone else lets me know of whats going on through their point of view. Ask enough people and you can develop YOUR point of view, which is must better than the 4 main sources we gain our info for news from.

I agree with you here.

Not sure why u expect proof and truth of everything when you know you cant believe everything that is told to you on TV. I am not as politically driven as you Jimmy, its a game to keep us entertained with whatever team we're rooting for, but at least some members do try for things.

I learned back in '98 how important politics can be when Congress threatened a shutdown if Clinton didnt sign the budget congress passed. I was looking at not getting paid until they did get it passed. If I remember correctly, it was only a couple of days before payday that the budget was signed. Clinton was against the rank targeted higher pay raises for military. Clinton wanted everyone to get that 2% or whatever it was. If these last 21 months havent shown you how politics directly influences your life then nothing will.

Your worried bout the cost of it, I'm not and I make less than you (more than likely)

Damn right I'm worried about the cost. I am also worried about the precedent it sets with the mandate.

why tha fuk does it matter how much it actually costs you,

Because I actually want to keep as much of the money I earn as possible. Not give it to the govt for them to hand over to someone else who decided not to learn a trade or go to school or not have kids they couldnt afford.

If you arent worried about money at all, I could really use a few grand to get myself out of debt.

it would cost you MORE without it.

Actually, no it wouldnt. My health insurance would likely cost less.

Its not like its 50% of ur wages.

Its getting up close to that. Is that what the magic number is? I should be allowed to have 50% of what I earn so the rest can be spread around to others?

Now we are all covered and it makes me feel great.

Wrong. The largest freeloader population (illegals) will still not be covered under this bill unless Obama lied. I'm not ruling out Obama lied, but I cannot confirm that because I dont understand most of the bill.

I pay a bit more yea, but shoot at least I know that people I dont even know have my back if I really get messed up,

I have that too with my current health insurance plan. I didnt even need daddy govt to tell me what kind of coverage I was required to buy.

just like if they end up disabled, we as a country have each others back. Fuk a dollar, fuk $100 dollars, if we'd work and stand together as a country and not let the media make us seem as though we have to hate and work against each other, we'd be a very strong, tight knit, healthy country, not a sell-out.

No, we would be socialists and everyone would all be living in poverty.

Why has it never occurred to you liberals that every time a new entitlement program is passed, the number of people sponging off productive people grows? Within 5 years of full inception this will cost 500B a year or more, or we will be stuck with a single payer system and the only people that will have access to quality health care will be the rich. Liberals always want to bring to top down to the bottom, but never find the time to try to bring the bottom up to the top. Maybe because they decided that it is easier to convince someone they can be lazy and still profit than it is to show them that hard work leads to success.
