					<description><![CDATA[Folks never forget the information imparted by a kick in the wallet.

0-care is a ferocious tax beyond anything you&#039;ve known.

It&#039;s the kind of tax normally imposed ONLY in wartime.

It&#039;s crushingly deflationary!

Just you WAIT.

The fireworks have just begun.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;What’s going to happen when everybody figures it out?&quot;&lt;/i&gt; Mrs Whatsit 

Unfortunately, everybody is not going to figure it out. The question is, will enough people figure it out? Upon that question, may hang the fate of the nation. 

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Reason is poor propaganda when opposed by the yammering, unceasing lies of shrewd, evil and self-serving men.  The capacity of the human mind for swallowing nonsense and spewing it forth in violent and repressive action has never yet been plumbed.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; R.A. Heinlein 

IMO, any estimate of the left&#039;s chances of success of less than 50/50 is wishful thinking.

					<description><![CDATA[Supposedly, according to great intellectuals at MIT and Harvard, if you are healthy, you discriminate against unhealthy people. 

Ezekial Emmanual, at least to perceptive people possessing a 1 out of 10 on the scale, has exposed himself as a socialist. It is socialism and it&#039;s really not worth discussing what type or it&#039;s really fascism. Let the true and good conservative scholars do that. We, however, don&#039;t need the exact title to know evil when we see it. 

And evil starts with an accuser. A slanderer. And what words more appropriately describe that piece of shit Obama, Reid, and Pelosi.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, what a surprise.  I went looking for opinions on the President&#039;s fix and found this:

&quot;Passing the buck

By “allowing” insurers to reinstate health plans they’ve canceled, the administration effectively hands them the president’s problem. “Whether an individual can keep their current plan will … depend on their insurance company and state insurance commissioner,” the White House explains in a fact sheet. “It will no longer be implementation of the law that is forcing them to buy a new plan.” In other words, don’t blame us if your insurance company canceled your plan to comply with the health care law. The cancellation is now voluntary!&quot;

The surprise is that this was on the MSNBC site.  I think that even they have voted on the Fool or Knave question (above comment), and the President has been voted Knave.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mrs Whatsit...

And right in front of the 2014 elections!

Perfect timing.

Everything being geared towards the Federal fiscal cycle, which starts October 1 every year. Obviously a sweet month ahead of the balloting.

Brilliant politics, don&#039;t you think?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As Boehner (of all people) said, &quot;there&#039;s no way to fix this.&quot; Obamacare cannot function unless it affects tens of millions of people.
There&#039;s no way to hide the damage. No pile of mashed potatoes large enough to cover up these veggies.

The size of the electoral bloodbath will be indicative of how many Americans still have common sense. If it&#039;s a lot, we&#039;re in good shape. Still...it&#039;s a ways off in the future, and &quot;things happen.&quot; I just don&#039;t see a way for Dems to squirm out of it at this point.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thinking about this overnight . . . assuming the states and the insurers manage to find ways to extend all those canceled policies for a year, now they will all expire at the same time that the employer mandate kicks in and all the group policies start getting canceled.  

And that is also when most people are going to discover that this problem is not limited to the individual market and that Obama has been piling more lies upon more lies upon all those previous &quot;you can keep it&quot; lies, all this time, in insisting that it is, insisting that he was talking about people in employer-sponsored policies, insisting that problems limited to the individual market made the cancellations necessary -- all of it lies, since the change/grandfather rules apply to ALL policies and will hit the rest of us next year.  Some people know that now, but not many.  What&#039;s going to happen when everybody figures it out?]]></description>
