JOHN MUCKLEROY: The case against Obamacare
There has been a lot in the newspaper and on TV lately about the so-called Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as "Obamacare."
Unfortunately virtually all of the so-called media just parrots what the Obama administration puts out. The press hasn't checked out a thing about the president since he ran for his first public office, but that's another story.
The first thing that you have to understand is that politicians (both Democrats and Republicans) are very good at choosing a name for a piece of legislation. They do that to make it more acceptable to the public. It can little or no bearing on what the legislation actually does.
In this case, it is neither affordable nor a care act. Not one person will get medical treatment under this legislation who couldn't get medical treatment before the act was passed.
The first thing the president does (and all of his minions in the press parrot it) is state that X number (the actual number is of little consequence) of Americans don't have health insurance, and this is probably true. Most of them don't have health insurance because they don't want it.
But this is just a red herring. Any one of those people can walk into an emergency room in any hospital in the country and get treated. Here in San Angelo we also have La Esperanza Clinics and I know that many other cities have similar clinics.
The point is, no one had to do without medical care before this legislation was passed, so it isn't about medical care.
There is only one real objective in forcing Obamacare on the American people, and that is to take over the finest medical system in the world. By controlling the medical system, the administration controls the people. They want you to be dependent on the government for anything and everything.
They sold it to the gullible population as being cheaper and people are now finding out it isn't cheaper. They sold it on the lies that you could keep your own insurance if you liked it better, and now people are finding out that you can't.
They sold it on the statements made by the biggest liar to ever occupy the White House that you could keep your doctor if you liked your doctor. President Barack Obama was caught on tape at least 29 times saying that "If you like the plan you are on, you can keep it. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor." And now he claims he didn't say that.
Most of you who are reading this have a brain and some common sense. If Obamacare is so good, why does the federal government have to hire 17,000 new IRS agents to ensure compliance? Why do we have to have 157 new agencies created in the federal government to operate this abomination?
Why is the actual legislation more than 20,000 pages long? Why did the president have to make backroom deals with senators from Louisiana, Nebraska and Nevada to get it passed? Why are nearly all (there may be an exception) of the unions begging for exemptions, including the union that represents the IRS, the people charged with executing Obamacare?
Why aren't the president and Congress on it and paying for it out of their own pockets? If it was so good, everyone would be clamoring to sign up for it and no one would be seeking an exemption, but that isn't happening.
Now we are learning through memos obtained from the White House that the president and his staff knew three years ago that it would not do what the president was saying it would do, but they went ahead and continued to tell the same old lies because they didn't want to lose the midterm elections, and they would have if the truth had been brought out.
The unions complained that it is killing what they have been working for, a 40-hour workweek and great benefits. They are right. It is killing jobs right and left. Employers have to cut hours to keep from having to pay the outrageously high premiums. Some employers are holding off hiring new people and others are laying people off, all because of this bill.
And the president has given out (illegally, I might add) a whole bunch of exceptions to the people he favors.
What the Affordable Care Act does is destroy the finest health care system in the world and reduces it to a second-rate system. In short, there isn't one good thing to say about Obamacare, unless you desire to live in a Marxist/communist country.
Lenin, one of the leaders of the Russian communist rebellion, said socialized medicine is the keystone to the establishment of a socialist state. Is that where we are headed? Think about it.

comments, italia dei valori, italy, lawsuits, salvatore cuffaro, youtube
Boing Boing points us to a story coming out of Italy, concerning what appears to be a former politician with a... colorful past, Salvatore Cuffaro (he was apparently found guilty of helping the Mafia), who is upset about the comments on a YouTube video that involves himself, but which is from the early 90s. So, he's "laid charges" against all 4,609 commenters (since then, many more have commented). I'm not familiar enough with the legal system of Italy to quite understand what these charges mean, but the link above comes from an Italian political party, Italia dei Valori, which apparently is considered "anti-corruption." Apparently, that party is offering to cover the legal defense of any of the commenters who need the help. The translated text from Italia dei Valori isn't entirely clear -- and I'm not even sure what's wrong with the video or the commenters, or what people are being charged with exactly -- so please help fill in the blanks in the comments. However, any time you have a politician even threatening to sue thousands of YouTube commenters, you know something has gone wrong.

I kind of agree. A YT video with thousands of comments means that something that needed to be shown was shown. And if someone is very, very upset, it probably was important enough. -

Re: Re:

how many of those are outside of Italy?
Given the nature of the Internet and Youtube, I sort of have to wonder just how many of those people are even in Italy? I would be willing to bet that a fair number of them are not even in the country and therefore wouldn't (or shouldn't) fall under an Italian court's jurisdiction for this issue. Not that that ever seems to stop these courts from issuing ridiculous judgements anyways.
It gets even more muddy if the video is hosted in the US and commented on by someone in the US. Bah!
I really hope this is one instance where Google refuses to roll over (like it seems to be doing a lot lately) and actually fights back on it. -

Anonymous Coward, Oct 27th, 2009 @ 9:05amIn some ways, I would love to see youtube commenters be brought into court.
If only because it means that someone, possibly a judge or a lawyer, would have to read a youtube comment out loud, in a courtroom. And I would pay to see that. -

patrick kapty, Oct 27th, 2009 @ 9:45amTalk about your tempest in a teapot...
First of all the reportage is incomplete, and the information is spotty at best, with most major issues unknown, so of course, there's got to be every idiot on the web sounding off their opinions on something that hasn't even been adequately presented in the first place. Glad they're not still burning witches, sure wouldn't take much to get someone burnt around here! -

"Through the stress tests, regulators have assured us of financial market stability going forward -- there is a defined capital hole and there is adequate unused TARP capital for this shortfall," said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas.
"In addition, banks are again raising capital in the private markets, which can serve to reduce the capital shortfall identified by the stress tests," he said. "If banks are unable to raise capital, there is adequate unused TARP capital for this shortfall."
With the Treasury Department set to announce in the coming days which banks will be allowed to repay TARP money, around $50 billion -- twice the department's original estimate of $25 billion -- may soon come back into government coffers.
"The economic justification for TARP's creation and taxpayer assistance to financial institutions no longer exists," Hensarling said.
"It's clear to me that the original goals for TARP -- primarily financial stability and taxpayer protection -- are no longer the aim of the program," he said. "It is increasingly being used instead to promote the economic, social, and political agendas of the administration."
On Tuesday the final report will be posted on the Congressional Oversight Panel's Web site.

Homeland Security:
Agency Plans, Implementation, and Challenges Regarding the National Strategy for Homeland Security
GAO-05-33: Published: Jan 14, 2005. Publicly Released: Feb 14, 2005.

The National Strategy for Homeland Security sets forth a plan to improve homeland security through the cooperation of federal, state, local, and private sector organizations on an array of functions. These functions are organized into the six distinct "critical mission areas" of (1) intelligence and warning, (2) border and transportation security, (3) domestic counterterrorism, (4) protecting critical infrastructures and key assets, (5) defending against catastrophic threats, and (6) emergency preparedness and response. Within each of these mission areas, the strategy identifies "major initiatives" to be addressed. In all, the strategy cites 43 initiatives across the six mission areas. GAO reviewed the strategy's implementation to (1) determine whether its initiatives are being addressed by key departments' strategic planning and implementation activities, whether the initiatives have lead agencies identified for their implementation, and whether the initiatives were being implemented in fiscal year 2004 by such agencies and (2) identify ongoing homeland security challenges that have been reflected in GAO products since September 11, 2001, by both mission area and issues that cut across mission areas.
Key federal departments--Defense (DOD), Energy (DOE), Health and Human Services (HHS), Homeland Security (DHS), Justice (DOJ), and State--have addressed the strategy's 43 initiatives to some extent in their strategic planning and implementation activities. All 43 of the initiatives were included in some of the planning or implementation activities of at least one of these six departments. Most of the initiatives (42 of the 43) also had departments identified as the lead agencies for their implementation, which helps to ensure accountability for implementation. However, many of these 42 initiatives had multiple lead agencies, indicating that interagency coordination of roles and activities will be important, particularly on those initiatives involving domestic counterterrorism and critical infrastructure protection. All of the initiatives were being implemented in fiscal year 2004 by at least one department. While GAO determined that implementation was occurring, it did not assess the status or quality of the various departments' implementation of the initiatives. While departments have incorporated these initiatives into their planning and implementation activity, the United States faces significant challenges in fully implementing the strategy in a coordinated and integrated manner. Some of the most difficult challenges being confronted are those that cut across the various critical mission areas, such as balancing homeland security funding needs with other national requirements, improving risk management methods for resource allocation and investments, developing adequate homeland security performance measures, developing a national enterprise architecture for homeland security, and clarifying the roles and responsibilities among the levels of government and the private sector. GAO has also identified a large diversity of other challenges in each of the six critical mission areas since September 11.

Teachers and staffers at schools in Fort Collins are facing layoffs.
The Poudre School District announced Wednesday it will cut 139 teaching and other school jobs because of budget cuts. The state's ninth-largest school system says it has to cut $12 million from next year's budget. Sixty of the jobs cut will be teachers, though school administrators say they hope some of the jobs can be cut through attrition and retirements.
The district didn't elaborate on how it plans to identify teachers for layoffs. The Poudre School District has 50 schools and 24,000 students.
