			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>THE callousness of the Harry Reid Democratic majority in bullying through a very cost-efficient health-care bill for President <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>&#8216;s eager pen to sign was disgracefully clear when both the House and <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a>, on party-line votes, decided to cut $43 billion of <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> spending on what The New York Times&#8217; Robert Pear described (Dec. 5) as &#8220;home health services, a lifeline for homebound <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> beneficiaries, which keeps them out of hospitals and nursing homes.&#8221; The president, I&#8217;m sure, was pleased.</p>
<p>To put a human face on the grim effects of severing that lifeline, Robert Pear, long due for a Pulitzer for his health-care reporting, introduced Delmer A. Wilcox, 89, of Caribou, Maine. He &#8220;lives alone, is losing his vision, uses a walker and has chronic diseases of the lungs, heart and kidneys. He said his condition would deteriorate quickly without the regular visits he received from Visiting Nurses of Aroostook, a unit of Eastern Maine Home Care.&#8221;</p>
<p>But President <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> has emphasized (as he did during an interview with New York Times&#8217; columnist David Leonhardt): &#8220;The chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health-care bill out here.&#8221;</p>
<p>For cost purposes, should Reid take into account how much longer Mr. Wilcox has to live?</p>
<p>Another senator, the often-independent Maine Republican Susan Collins, does not make such terminal calculations. &#8220;The <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> home benefit,&#8221; she told The New York Times (Dec. 6), &#8220;is under attack. The impact of these cuts will ultimately fall on seniors. Home health agencies will simply not be able to afford to serve seniors living in smaller communities off rural roads.&#8221;</p>
<p>With regard to the president&#8217;s intense concern with health-care cost-effectiveness, Collins adds (New York Times, Dec. 5): &#8220;Home care and hospice have consistently proven to be cost-effective and compassionate alternatives to institutional care.&#8221;</p>
<p>This has been true not only in smaller communities off rural roads, but throughout the nation. As Republican Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska tried to remind his colleagues across the aisle (a transcript is available on his Web site, johanns.<a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">senate</a>.gov): &#8220;These are truly some of the most vulnerable Americans. Yet in order to finance this new entitlement, this bill takes money out of that much-needed program, and it places the cuts on the backs of these Americans, our most vulnerable Americans.&#8221;</p>
<p>The great majority of congressional <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/democrats/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with democrats">Democrats</a>, however, obediently followed &#8220;commander&#8221; Reid. As John Fund reported in the Wall Street Journal (Dec. 4): &#8220;The party leadership has made it clear that anyone who votes against health care (as written by the leadership) will have a difficult time passing their own bills in the future.&#8221;</p>
<p>When I was a kid, I used to read that the U.S. <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> was &#8220;the greatest deliberative body in the world.&#8221; Not that Republican majority leaders have been averse to ensuring party loyalty by stringent means; but for the Democratic machine to use such bare-knuckles tactics to pass this legislation so directly involving the future lifespans of so many Americans (regardless of age or political affiliation) should make President <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> pause.</p>
<p>But he is a very cool (as in cold) caretaker of the national budget.</p>
<p>Sen. John McCain is decidedly uncool during this debate, much to his credit. In a Dec. 5 interview with Don Imus, McCain said of the fears of <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">Obamacare</a> around the country: &#8220;There&#8217;s not a lot of happy people out there, so you see tea parties, and you see people who are madder than they&#8217;ve ever been in their life. And frankly, I&#8217;m madder than I&#8217;ve ever been.&#8221;</p>
<p>Me, too.</p>
<p>The day after Reid secured his 60 votes to continue <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> debate on <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">Obamacare</a>, CBS&#8217; &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; &#8212; &#8220;The Cost of Dying&#8221; &#8211; presented a cold, clear case for cutting the $43 billion <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> spending on home health services that serve not only the elderly, but certainly many other Americans. Opening the program chillingly, Steve Kroft played the actuarial rather than the compassionate blues:</p>
<p>&#8220;Every medical study ever conducted has concluded that 100 percent of all Americans will eventually die. This comes as no great surprise, but the amount of money being spent at the very end of people&#8217;s lives probably will. Last year, <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> paid $50 billion just for doctor and hospital bills during the last two months of patients&#8217; lives &#8211; that&#8217;s more than the budget of the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Education.</p>
<p>&#8220;And it has been estimated that 20 to 30 percent of these medical expenditures may have had no meaningful impact.&#8221;</p>
<p>If I may interrupt, sir, what about the impact on the other lives? During the program, we hear from Dr. Ira Byock in the intensive-care unit at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.:</p>
<p>&#8220;Denial of death at some point becomes a delusion, and we start acting in ways that make no sense whatsoever. And I think that&#8217;s collectively what we&#8217;re doing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Toward the end of &#8220;The Cost of Dying,&#8221; Dr. Byock lectures us on our moral responsibilities in these matters: &#8220;Collectively, as a culture, we really have to acknowledge that we&#8217;re mortal,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Get over it. And start looking at what a healthy, morally robust way for people to die looks like.&#8221;</p>
<p>John McCain isn&#8217;t getting over it. And in next year&#8217;s midterm elections, we&#8217;ll see how many other Americans won&#8217;t. Are they immoral?</p>
<p>The economy will surely be a major factor in these coming elections, but I expect many Americans going to the polls will indeed be thinking robustly of their own mortality.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">SENATE</a> <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/democrats/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with democrats">DEMOCRATS</a> ostensibly have reached a “compromise” on the massive health care bill currently under consideration, with the liberal wing agreeing with centrists to drop the so-called public option.</p>
<p>The details were sketchy when <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced the deal Tuesday night, but on Wednesday President Barack <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> praised it. According to congressional and White House sources, the deal would jettison a full-blown government insurance plan in favor of expanding <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> to people when they reach 55 and creating new private plans modeled on the federal employee program.</p>
<p>But those who oppose a government takeover of the entire health system should not get up and start dancing in the aisles, for this in reality is a bait-and-switch strategy. The <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/liberals/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with liberals">liberals</a> still want a single-payer socialized health system, and in the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> they have made a tactical maneuver to buy time.</p>
<p>They realize they must buy time right now, because a growing majority of Americans simply do not want their government to take command of health care. So this week’s move is a holding action.</p>
<p>The bill still contains severe restrictions and mandates on private insurance, and if allowed to become law they would slowly but surely choke the private insurance industry out of existence. Then the only option would be the public option. It may be THE classic example of bait and switch.</p>
<p>Provisions in the legislation would assign a value to employer-provided benefits for each worker and report it on employees’ W-2 forms. That would make health insurance a taxable benefit.</p>
<p>What happened to the president’s promise that <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a> would not raise taxes?</p>
<p>The legislation has insurance companies squarely in the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/democrats/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with democrats">Democrats</a>’ sights. Insurers will have to provide information on everybody they cover so bureaucrats in Washington can determine if an individual owes a penalty. And guess who is given enforcement power? Our friends at the IRS.</p>
<p>There still are mandates on how much coverage private insurers must offer and limits on how much they can charge, which makes private coverage actuarially impossible to stay in business.</p>
<p>When the private health insurance industry starts to fade away, the public will demand insurance, and guess who the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/democrats/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with democrats">Democrats</a> in <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/congress/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with congress">Congress</a> want to offer that coverage? The tender ministrations of the federal government.</p>
<p>No, Tuesday’s “compromise” is a true Trojan Horse. The whole bill should be scrapped so that individual reforms can be debated, each on its own merit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was in the FOX News green room last night with Karl Rove, waiting to go on the Hannity Show.  I asked Karl whether he thought we had a chance to defeat the health care bill.  We both agreed that we did.</p>
<p>As this bill enters its next phase in the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a>, let&#8217;s all remember that the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/democrats/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with democrats">Democrats</a> need to win every vote.  We only need to win one to kill the bill.</p>
<p>The debate in the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> takes place against a backdrop characterized by two contradictory forces:  public opinion is moving more and more against this bill in particular and <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> in general and at the same time, the Democratic leadership in <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/congress/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with congress">Congress</a> is ratcheting up the pressure on its members to stay in line and back the bill.</p>
<p>One top Democratic strategist conceded to me that &#8220;we are losing the message war.&#8221;  In fact, he implicitly conceded that they have given up on the message war and &#8220;are concentrating on holding our guys in line.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the long run that&#8217;s great for us!  It means that if they eventually do pass this bill, it will be a big nail in their coffin for the 2010 election&#8230;but we can still beat this bill!</p>
<p>The key is to force the moderate Democratic <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senators/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senators">Senators</a> to demand amendments that move the bill so far to the right that the House can&#8217;t pass it.  By putting restrictions on the use of funds for abortion, modifying or eliminating the public option, reducing the subsidies for insurance premiums, cutting the penalties for not buying insurance, reducing the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> cuts, modifying the cuts in doctor reimbursement, cutting back the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a> mandate to expand coverage, and moving in a number of other areas, we can so modify the bill that the House <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/liberals/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with liberals">liberals</a> won&#8217;t accept it.</p>
<p>We also need to buy time by fighting on each of these amendments in the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a>.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, we need to really pour it on in the message war.  We have the public opposing this bill by 38-56 in the Rasmussen Poll of last week.  If we can move those numbers to something more like 30-60, we will create irresistible political pressure.  Politicians seeking re-election are not made to withstand pressure like that!</p>
<p>If, eventually, the bill &#8212; in some form &#8212; does pass the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a>, the more we have forced moderate amendments, the more the conference committee will be a long and bloody deadlock.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> is alienating the left by sending more troops to Afghanistan.  The left will not take kindly to the moderate amendments the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> will likely add.  And the longer the bill remains in conference committee, the more public pressure can build to kill it&#8230;and the closer the 2010 elections loom.  The more his popularity on the left ebbs, the more liberal <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senators/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senators">Senators</a> and Congressmen will refuse to go along with modifications of the bill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8220;health-care reform&#8221; bills in <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/congress/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with congress">Congress</a> would hit 39 states hard with new expenses, by raising <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a> eligibility above the current income cutoffs.</p>
<p>The only states that won&#8217;t have to raise eligibility because of the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> bill are Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin (plus the District of Columbia). And the House bill would force even Massachusetts and Vermont to pay more.</p>
<p>Hardest hit would be Texas ($2,750 million a year in extra state spending under the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> bill), Pennsylvania ($1,450 million), California ($1,428 million) and Florida ($909 million). Who knows if Florida could avoid imposing an income tax if it has to meet so high an unfunded mandate?</p>
<p>The required increases in state spending are likely to be quite high in some states whose <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senators/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senators">senators</a> are swing votes on <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a>:</p>
<p>* In Arkansas, home to swing Sens. Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln, the annual increased state spending would come to $402 million (not counting the federal share) &#8212; about a 10 percent increase in the state budget, which is now $4 billion a year.</p>
<p>* In Louisiana, whose Sen. Marie Landrieu sold her vote on a key procedural motion in return for more <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a> funding, the increase would come to $432 million (a 5 percent hike in state spending) &#8212; more than wiping out the extra funds she got in return for her vote.</p>
<p>* In Sen. Evan Bayh&#8217;s Indiana, spending would go up by $586 million a year, a rise of 4 percent.</p>
<p>* In Sen. Ben Nelson&#8217;s Nebraska, the added state spending would be $81 million a year, a 2 percent increase.</p>
<p>The Sebate <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a> bill would cost North Dakota, home of Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan, $14 million. South Dakota, represented by Sen. Tim Johnson, would have to boost <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a> spending by $33 million.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a>-expansion provisions of the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> bill are complex. In the first year of the program (2013), states must enroll anyone who earns less than 133 percent of the poverty level in their programs. For a family of four, the national average poverty level in 2009 is $22,000 a year. So any family that size that makes less than $29,000 would be eligible for <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a>.</p>
<p>Many states, particularly in the South, actually have <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a> cutoffs below the poverty level. Arkansas, for example, cuts off its <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a> eligibility at only 17 percent of poverty level, and in Louisiana it goes up to only 26 percent. For these states, the spending increase required by the new bill is huge.</p>
<p>For the first three years of the program (2013-15) the federal government would pay for all of the costs of the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a> expansion. But, starting in the fourth year of operation &#8212; 2016 &#8212; the average state would be obliged to pay 10 percent of the extra cost.</p>
<p>For Democratic governors, this provision means sudden death. Particularly in states with limited <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicaid/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicaid">Medicaid</a> coverage, it would require huge tax increases.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are quite right Mike. I too was aware of this Welfare Cell Phone issue being a short time before the anointed one. But  it did seem so applicable. He was a senator in 2008 and more than likely did vote for it, unless he was already off campaigning for president. The taxpayers didn&#8217;t even get a straight deal from him during his so-called senatorial four years. He&#8217;s was campaigning for president 75% of the time.</p>
<p>You see, I have absolutely no use for <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>. Many millions of other good Americans feel the same way. Back in my 30&#8242;s I believed that <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/jimmy-carter/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Jimmy Carter">Jimmy Carter</a> was one of the worst presidents that ever walked the face of the earth. He was a deserved one term president. However, <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>, the anointed one, has him beat in all issues. This has nothing to do with race, but everything to do with total incompetence on <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>&#8216;s part. He should have never been elected to that office. Hell, he&#8217;s never really run anything in his lifetime. Never so much as a soda-pop stand. A hamburger shop or paperboy enterprise. I&#8217;m confident he would screw them up too. 80 percent of the public doesn&#8217;t want his <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a>, but <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/pelosi/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with pelosi">Pelosi</a> and Reed are determined to ram it down our throats. Maybe we can get it ultimately derailed in the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">senate</a>. I don&#8217;t believe the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> and House can reach a compromise with their separate abortion and public option issues. At least I hope that&#8217;s what happens. I&#8217;m praying for it daily.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>, <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/pelosi/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with pelosi">Pelosi</a> and Reid, with others, are forcibly driving us down a terrible path towards socialism, approaching communism, from which we might never return. He (they) must be stopped with any tools at hand.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m really worried about the state of affairs for this great country. Right now we have 106 trillion dollars of &#8220;unfunded debt&#8221; staring us in the face for years to come. My great grandkids will have to face these debts. I&#8217;m already retired and past that time. Very little of that debt from the Bush years. The majority from the last 11 months. We have 10.2 percent unemployment. In reality the number is over 17 percent, when including the many who have just quit looking for a job, no longer on the unemployment compensation rolls. <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> is selling out this country at every opportunity. That is his agenda.</p>
<p>The Fed is printing money at such a fast rate, I hate to see the inflation <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> and the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/congress/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with congress">Congress</a> are pushing towards us. Once again, shades of <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/jimmy-carter/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with Jimmy Carter">Jimmy Carter</a>. Good God what a mess they are creating. Do you remember 15%, then 20% etc inflation. It&#8217;s not a pretty site. The dollar becomes worthless. That&#8217;s why many are buying gold now. The dollar is going to hell. The dollar used to be the world standard. It seems like India just bought around 12 &#8220;tons&#8221; of gold in the last few days. That&#8217;s India, mind you!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> has been apologizing or bowing for America at every turn, when he should be talking about the great generosity of the Americans towards all of the world. No country, since time began, has been as generous towards all other nations, as the United States Citizens. Why isn&#8217;t he talking about this? Not only with contributed monies, but with thousands of soldier&#8217;s lives in democratic pursuits, struggles and wars.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m more than just a little bit disgusted with <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>. I&#8217;m doing everything I can to see that he and all other &#8220;liberal <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/democrats/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with democrats">democrats</a>&#8221; are voted out of office, when it comes around to each individual&#8217;s turn. Starting with the 2010 elections. We can change 1/3 of the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/congress/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with congress">Congress</a> then. &#8220;Liberal <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/democrats/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with democrats">democrats</a>&#8221; must go! We must get rid of all the left-wing liberal <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/democrats/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with democrats">democrats</a> who are driving this great country right into oblivion. Salazar, Bennett and Udall are all less than worthless. They are pathetic. I thought Salazar was a blue dog. But when it came to <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a>, they &#8220;all&#8221; simply rubber-stamped what <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> and his minions desired. Paying no attention whatsoever to what the &#8220;voting public&#8221; wants. That being, we don&#8217;t want <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a> or anything resembling that 2000 page monstrosity. Our great U S Constitution, when printed, is under 20 pages. <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> and the Chicago mob want to cram over 2000 pages down our throats. They want total control of everything we do or say each and every day of our lives. It&#8217;s time for the other 20 to 30 percent of the public to wake up. 70 to 80 percent of us are already awake.  We are sliding into socialism. God have mercy!</p>
<p>Personally I believe that <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> is a definite &#8220;One-Term President&#8221;. Thank God for that! He proves my point daily. Having the five Islamic-Jihadist Terrorist Radicals set for trial in New York City is just the latest occurrence, when 65% plus of the public doesn&#8217;t want in in NYC. It&#8217;s all for left-wing show! More pay back to the left-wing <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/liberals/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with liberals">liberals</a>. How can they hate Bush that much? Frankly voting <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> and his Chicago Mob out-of-office is all I want for each one of my birthdays, Thanksgivings and Christmas&#8217; from now until election time 2010, then 2012. Let&#8217;s work towards that end. OK?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WE FIGURED HIM OUT!  By Ben Stein</p>
<p>Why is President <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/barack-obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with barack obama">Barack <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a></a> in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?</p>
<p>Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:</p>
<p>The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008.</p>
<p>They wanted so much to believe <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/barack-obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with barack obama">Barack <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a></a> was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.</p>
<p>They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.</p>
<p>They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.</p>
<p>They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student.</p>
<p>They ignored his ultra-left record as a &#8220;community organizer,&#8221; Illinois state legislator, and Senator.</p>
<p>The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.</p>
<p>Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/barack-obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with barack obama">Barack <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a></a> is a super likable, super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East , way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.</p>
<p>The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill &#8212; a great idea in theory &#8212; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans</span>.</p>
<p>Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a> basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.</p>
<p>The American people already know that Mr. <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>&#8216;s plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be &#8212; a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away..</p>
<p>These are perilous times.. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to &#8220;protect us&#8221; from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.</p>
<p>Mr. <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America .</p>
<p>Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly Hills and Malibu . He writes &#8220;Ben Stein&#8217;s Diary&#8221; for every issue of The American Spectator.</p>
<p>The title &#8220;WE FIGURED HIM OUT!&#8221;does not apply to me. I knew all about him for over a year. I&#8217;m teed off at those who put him there, for being either too lazy or too stupid to know better.</p>
<p>They may have ruined my country and yours.</p>
<p>You must as an American FORWARD this to all, or you will wake up one morning and your freedoms are no longer there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">**********</p>
<p>&#8220;A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned &#8212; this is the sum of good government.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, we learned that a $500 billion cut in <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> will dramatically affect the quality and quantity of healthcare available to America&#8217;s senior citizens. Grandma&#8217;s access is being slashed to add illegal immigrants and twenty-somethings into the insurance system. However, this revelation pales in relation to what we heard this week.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the latest shock: Average current health care insurance premiums <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">will likely triple under <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a>!</span></strong></p>
<p>The new data comes from well regarded, state-by-state study conducted for <strong>WellPoint, Inc</strong>. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The most dramatic premium boosts will hit young people</span></strong>. These are the actual individuals that often opt out of insurance plans now.</p>
<p>Reaction from the <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> White House was swift and harsh. Linda Douglass, <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>&#8216;s healthcare spokesperson , had the audacity to compare the health insurance firm with tobacco companies. Since the White House refuses to argue the facts, they instead turned to using one of their favorite tactics, which is demonizing any voices of dissent.</p>
<p>The reason for the dramatic insurance premium increases is the result of <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a> regulations. First cause is the mandate that insurance companies take any customer. Insurance traditionally is an actuarial business that rates different based on risk factors. This is the reason a driver aged 19 with two speeding tickets pays more for auto insurance than a customer aged 35 with no speeding tickets. Nineteen-year-olds have more accidents! Therefore they pose more risk.</p>
<p>Traditionally, health insurance companies charged customers with risk factors and chronic illness more than young, healthy 19-year-olds. <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obamacare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obamacare">ObamaCare</a> stands the the concept of insurance on its head. Since an insurance company will be forced to sell to any sick patient, the incentive to buy insurance when you are healthy decreases. Why not wait until you are sick; get cancer, diabetes or some other severe illness before you buy? To circumvent this problem, <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a> is riddling the program with police-state mandates on healthy, younger citizens. Perverted, negative incentives such as threats of large fines and even prison time will hang over young people&#8217;s heads to force them to join and stay enrolled in <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/obama/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with obama">Obama</a>&#8216;s healthcare scheme. Does this sound like America to you?</p>
<p>Democratic leaders in <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/congress/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with congress">Congress</a> are seeing support slip through their fingers because Americans are learning that they will end up paying more for less-adequate care.The beneficiaries of this plan are still lobbying hard. Big business will likely dump most of their current employee-based plans and pay the less expensive tax. Big unions are facing the reality that they are going to be bankrupted by their generous membership health plans. Many want to dump their responsibilities on the new government option recently revived by <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/senate/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with senate">Senate</a> Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. AARP is salivating at the money they will make selling new, bigger <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a>-gap plans after the current program is gutted!</p>
<p>These powerful lobbies are the driving force for change. Individual family finances will pay the higher costs and see no benefit!</p>
<p>There is still time to kill this wrong-headed plan and replace it with reforms that will truly work. Selling insurance across state lines will increase competition and lower prices. Tort reform that eliminates outrageous judgments in malpractice cases will get lawyers out of medicine; this will result in eliminating billions currently spent in the name of defensive medicine.</p>
<p>Insurance can work, but the costly mandates and regulations, already choking the healthcare system are a big barrier to cutting costs.</p>
<p>Free markets deliver to Americans consumer goods, groceries, veterinary services, and even plastic surgery at affordable prices with little government meddlling. Let the free market price and correct the distortions currently in the health care system.</p>
<p>Government has bankrupted Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Social Security, <a href="http://www.loybanks.com/blog/tag/medicare/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with medicare">Medicare</a> and the U. S. Postal Service. Let&#8217;s not let the politicians destroy the greatest healthcare delivery system in the world! Bar none!</p>
