Hey You... Yeah, you! The one complaining about the Healthcare Reform Bill...

OK, I will state right up front that this has just got me steamed up! I log on tonight to find both my facebook page and naturally, ATS just brimming with the "OH NOEZ, WE'RE DOOMED" partisan panic crowd screaming the sky is falling because those evil bastard Democrats passed a Healthcare Reform Bill. How dare they spend our tax dollars!! OK, I have just one question for you 'Conservatives'...

WHY WEREN'T YOU THIS UPSET WHEN BUSH AND CHENEY WERE GOING THROUGH OUR MONEY LIKE DRUNKEN SAILORS ON SHORE LEAVE???

Where was your anger when Bush gave a huge tax cut to his rich buddies and created the damn deficit that being added to now??? At least that adulterous worm Clinton left a SURPLUS when he left office! Or is it OK if they waste our tax money as long as they have a frakkiin' (R) after their names????

Here's another question for all of you GENIUSES out there: Remember those really EVIL variable rate mortgages that were given out to people who couldn't afford to pay them once the rate 'varied'??? You know, the financial instruments that caused the housing market to collapse, put MILLIONS of Americans out of work, and had the Wall Street Banksters getting bailed out by us taxpayers??? Why are those frakkin' things still legal??? Why hasn't ANYONE from EITHER side of the aisle proposed legislation to make those wretched things ILLEGAL???

NO!!!

I'll tell you why, because ALL politicians, whether they have a (D) or an (R) after there names work for the same people, THE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS!!!

So go ahead and whine and moan about the damn Healthcare Reform Bill... You have EXACTLY the kind of Government you DESERVE!!!

I find your wording in this Post Highly Offensive ..................REPORTED !

Why do you American democrat supporters always call people names like "Stupid"?

There is no need for it. It's not on.

Shhhhhhh!

That's reality, and reality has no place on ATS!

Remember, it's whoever is in charge is BAD, minority side is GOOD.



But you're right. and I think this entire YEAR LONG DEBATE! (freaking thank god it's over) was pretty much to make the public forget that exact problem with our economy.

Good for you, Skippy! I find this whole mess offensive, and the partisan crap EXTREMELY offensive!

Do we always have to resort to the Bush years and bashing conservatives just because something was passed today that we didn't like?

From what i recalled from the Bush years is a Congress who couldn't say no.

We still have the same problem.

For the first time I must agree with a post her on this site.
And one more thing for all the members who speak of such outrage, why do you not identify where you are from in your profiles its easy to talk -S
SNIP- when you are hidden

Get back to me once you've read the ENTIRE OP... I never stated that I support EITHER party! In fact, I accused both parties of being puppets of the Special Interest Groups... Nice try Ace, but FAIL...

Clinton left a SURPLUS when he left office!

This is the only thing I don't agree with. There was no surplus. Everything else, however, is spot on so you get a S&F from me.

Budget surplus, and yes he did... He couldn't keep his Johnson in his pants, but he could stay within a budget, and actually spend less than what was brought in...

It's quite simple. Obama ignored the wishes of the majority of the American people and decided to pass this ridiculous bill anyways. It's not about the democrats or the republicans actually, its about the people.

It's a shame your thread is riddled with grammatical errors and you are the one calling people stupid. I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.

I'll take that, coupled with the fact that Clinton is in league with the CFR, a known drug dealer in Arkansas, that the FED owns us, and the fact that I didn't count a penny of this so-called surplus, and hedge my bets on no surplus ever existing.

I gotta hit the sack now, I'll see you people in two days when I come back from my trip.

I did... Not one mention of the Bush spending spree as outlined in the OP, not one mention about the Housing Crash as outlined in the OP, not one mention about both parties working for the Special Interest Groups as outlined in the OP... Just a comment about the Healthcare Reform Bill, which was barely mentioned in the OP.... So, did you even READ the OP???

For those us of who are not American

would someone kindly explain, in approximate terms is fine, how much this new health care is going to cost the average American

and does it exceed what the average American was paying before ?

please

The same as one stealth bomber to begin with and in the end about 3 stealth bombers, with out cost overrides. Thats the cost of the program in all.

You claimed I didn't address anything. I simply stated my opinion on the subject matter. People are complaining because they weren't listened to ... which is important seeing where the majority stands on this issue. Do you really expect people to take this easily? You just call them stupid when in reality they realize they are getting screwed. Is that not addressing your thread?

"Conservatives" are of no concern to me. You should understand that especially since you realize both parties working for the "Special Interest Groups" you mentioned.

Ironic that you state the Healthcare Reform Bill was barely mentioned ... yet it is in the title of your thread and most people are going to be lured here for such reasons.

Thanks

I've heard said that the new health system will cost the 'average American' 2.5% of annual earnings

Would that be accurate ?

In approximate terms, what were Americans paying prior to (the yet to be implemented) new system ?
