Reading the Constitution

Interesting... the country is going broke.... millions of us losing their homes... some 18 million of us out of work, and the House is wasting OUR TIME and treasure reading the constitution... a document that each member ought to have been well-informed of before having been elected!!! Had they taken the same approach to reading the legislation that they vote on, we might not be in this financial abyss!!!

Throw The Bums Out

Due to their allegations of gross mis-management congress forced Rick Wagoner, GM CEO to resign... back doored Ken Lewis, Bank of America CEO into quitting... yet not one CEO of even one of the Wall Street firms that created the bogus investment instruments that gave us this economic crisis has been forced 0ut by congress... A.I.G wrote fraudulent, yet legal!!!, "insurance" policies for those instruments, thereby proving that two wrongs do not make a right!...Yet no one at A.I.G has been charged with anything stronger than double parking!

However... Congress, in accepting campaign contributions from the very industries that it is RESPONSIBLE for regulating. has been bought and paid for... it has done the bidding of Wall Street, Insurance and Finance industries...it has removed Glass-Steagall and the majority of laws designed to prevent this catastrophe. It is guilty of the very same gross mis-management of the finances of the United States... how much and from who has your representative taken?

Take a look... http://www.opensecrets.org/ If the purchasing manager of your company was taking kick-backs from vendors what would you do? Are campaign contributions any less than kick-backs?

It is about time that "We The People", put down the remote control, get off our butts, go out and vote... THROW THE BUMS OUT.

Health Reform Smoke and Mirrors

FYI... per HR3962, the directive of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force on breast cancer screaning, mammographies would have been graded as level "C", and would be the guiding regulation, PERIOD... thus mammographies would NOT covered under proposed house cutting plan... wonder if that would include the Federal Employee Health Benefit Plan too... me thinks not... I ask again, why can't "we the people" have the exact same health plan that "we the people" provide for our employees, aka congress and millions of our other employees... Will the FEHBP be considered a "Cadillac Plan" and taxed too... me thinks not again...

What's the bet that the insurance carriers will come out with a "Gap Policy" in the same manner as is offered to Medicare recipients... hase congress just paid off the insurance lobby yet again...

We need health care reform... but neither the house or senate bills are the answer... instead of reading the sports and comics this week, thy reading thse two horror books... merely 4,000 pages between them of legale/political smoke and mirrors... both written like a labrynth...
