Let the republican death panels begin.

Are there othe things like "republicans" in other countries? Without drawing the hitler stache on Eric Cantor, republicans seem closer to a dictator than any democrat.

yes, they are called conservatives. yours seem further to the right, and more religious, than ours, but maybe not that much more. and no, they are not fascists any more than liberals are communists. i know you know this but i point this out regularly because hitler comparisons drive me up the wall.

I heard that - at least insurance commissioners say its an outright lie.

Yawn! In other words, when the Democrats suggest it, you love it. But when the Republicans suggest it, it is deadly. What a sad little bigot.

wrong word little teddy. you mean partisan. which also has the benefit of not being rude.

No, but I do think your response is. The article I posted is from yesterday, a current situation. The one you posted was from a year and a half ago, and the cuts that Obama made are to rid the system of waste and fraudulent spending (such as a doctor recommending an unnecessary MRI because he owns an MRI machine.) Texas has other ways to make their budget work, but the first thing they would do is take away from the sick, poor, and needy. Pretty twisted.

Taskr36 thank you for inserting truthful facts to this typical Democratic smear (+)

well said! (+)

Actually, I said nothing about the Huffington post other than to point out what type of publication they are. That's just a fact and Huffington themselves will tell you that. It is all over their front page. So, the question is can you objectively spot the bias or do you just read what they feed you and accept it as the absolute truth? Looking at the biggest programs that the government spends money on is not really that odd. By the way, Obamacare has already made cuts to Medicare just ask the people who are on it and they will give you an earful on the changes. Oh no, that concern has already happened. How odd that these concerns have already happened under the Democratic Congress, Democratic House, and Democratic President. But facing the hard truth, the commissions are looking at the biggest programs that the government is spending money on. That's a fact. There is no doubt things have to change somewhat because our country is literally upside down. More people are taking out of the system than putting into it. That's a fact. (Many countries that do have socialized medicine are also facing the same exact problems.) The pot is going to run out of water at some point. That's a fact. Something in the system has to change. Either more babies (another baby boom) or some cuts have to happen in the future. There are more and more people recognizing this. The debt commissions are only looking at the numbers and taking the logical, non-emotional, political detached, decisions. It would be similar to that of a credit counselor taking a look at someone's budget and telling what they need and what they don't.

Do either of you watch anything other than Fox? Everywhere, in general, the chief concern is cuts to medicare, and social security. It's in talks in the various debt commissions. I don't blindly kiss butt to people who disagree with someone who disagrees with me. Lame, whiteheather. But again, nothing new.
