Ben Nelson? Hell, What About The Other 59 Senators…
…that are spending us into bankruptcy? First, Mary Landreau of Louisiana gets bribed with 300 million in extra spending to get her to sign on and now Ben Nelson gets a pile of your money for his vote. How much? No one knows. Yet! But leave it to Harry Reid of Nevada to come up with something. And no one knows what is even in this boondoggle. Reid hasn’t published his “Health Care Reform” bill yet.
But Nelson isn’t what troubles me, its the other 59 senators getting set to vote for this monstrosity. Aren’t any of these fools troubled that we are spending so much that there may not be enough red ink to print the damn budget?
If you have a Democrat for a Senator, and you DON’T get up off your ass and tell them to vote no or you will vote them out of office, then you are a fool who will spend your children’s and your grand-children’s earnings for a huge part of their lives. Think I’m kidding? We are already in the negative numbers to the tune of trillions (12 trillion and counting) and that is a hell-of-a-lot of bubble gum folks.
There are roughly 206 folks in the wage earning age (roughly 15-64) with a median family income of some $46,000.00 per year. That means half earn more than that, and half earn less. Those that earn less don’t pay taxes which also means that roughly 103 million folk support those that are on welfare and an awful lot of folks that are elderly or disabled, AND who have to pay down that debt.
Taxes received by the IRS are roughly $1,115,504,000,000. This in turn means that it would take roughly 13 years to pay off the debt even if not one cent went elsewhere and that isn’t even including the interest payments. To top it all off, if you have a really good health plan, you will get THAT taxed also.
This is, as I said a boondoggle. There are 60 United States Senators that are trying very hard to make it worse. Don’t let them get away with it.

[...] Crossposted from STACLU:Gun Sales Surge, Violent Crime DropsIts hard to find any optimism with the healthcare disaster so close to being a reality, but glimmers of hope do exist. Democrats are actually pinning their hopes for the midterm on this unpopular healthcare bill. The rest of their strategy is to continue to blame Bush. That my liberal friends are actually celebrating this based off one modest bump in a CNN poll brings the optimism up another notch. Meanwhile the other half of liberals are making lists of why the bill should be killed. Don says there is no satisfying the liberals.More Christmas hope: Five reasons it might fail!Point of Law: Why the Reid bill is unconstitutionalUnbelievable!
