The census is hardly new, so you can't blame that on Obama, lol. As for legislation that insures 32 million Americans who didn't previously have insurance, ends consumer abuses by the health insurance industry, and does it all while saving the tax payers 1.2 trillion over the next 20 years as reported by the CBO(congressional budget office), now that IS new.
From the Census Bureau 2010, I received in the mail the following: A letter telling me I was going to receive the 2010; a postcard asking if I need help with the 2010; the actual 2010 form itself; two additional postcards reminding me to return my 2010 by April 1. This is such an obvious waste of money it is staggering. How can you expect me to trust the Fed Gov to take over managing the Budget on Health Care Reform? Answer: I can't trust the Gov with my piggy bank much less the HC Budget.
You're right, blondefonzie, the stat i used of 48 million uninsured is one i took from about summer of '09. So it's old. However, given the state of the economy, I don't imagine the number has gone down. If anything the number has gone up, unfortunately. There are a lot of different figures out there and they change all the time. So if you have the right answer(this week's) then I'll thank you to correct me and not call me a liar.
Actually reconciliation is just a relatively new congress rule. The democrats CAN use it, because it can be said that regulating private insurers directly effects the budget. See what happens to the budget if they go unregulated and continue to drop people from coverage unfairly. That 48 million uninsured grows to a larger number, and MORE tax revenue will have to go towards their medical bills should they get sick. Direct effect.
It's many of the big corporate, non-patriot captains of industry who refuse to pay their fare share, who lie to investors, and play wall street like its Las Vegas with YOUR money and LOSE who FINALLY are being restrained from exploiting all these loopholes and gambling with payroll and investors money. Just the same with many banks. As for the average American tax cuts, tax credit for new home owners, and college students, and for small business owners. Wake up. Don't tread on me, indeed
The Constitution is not being violated. If it were being violated by the use of reconciliation, trust me, republicans gov officials would have blown the whistle and called foul a long time ago. But they haven't, because they can't. They know the rules and no one is breaking them. and...repress WHICH individuals, bigdog? Not you and I.
You seem to believe that you are an authority on the US Constitution. Justify your comment that the constitution is not being violated. Which amendments support your statement?
@chardonnay1 the nuclear option and reconciliation is two completely different things, look it up, your obviously a FOX news listener, because anyone else isnt that stupid.

Haha! Scott Brown already exposed as an progressive. (ok just kidding, that wasn't a secret...)
WOW! The hubris of Reid. "We saved the world from going into world wide depression"
That right there folks exposes the ego of bureaucrat mind set that self entitles them to act as rulers instead of representatives. It's like a disease, go to a place like Washington DC & you catch the disease.
And the rest of it makes me sick to listen to as it is just the usual transparent blustering of diatribe.
Bush and Cheney, along with Paulson and Kashkari, when there were finally convincined they'd lost power, came along knocking holes in the bottom of the boat...when it looked as if it couldn't float any longer they abandon ship!
Harry Reid, Pelosi and Obama have been bailing as fast as they could ever since, to correct the serious issues with serious solutions. Meanwhile the Repubs have ridiculed every effort, while putting on their cocoa butter. Nice tan there Boehner. You look, ...ridiculous.
@pjamesbda You are a F*ckin' Idiot. Keep drinking the Koolaid, Moron. Your party has exposed itself for what it is and that is "Marxist", "Socialist"...whatever..."Non-American" and if you can't see that....well, suck on a bullet and do us all a favor instead of sucking off my and my kids economic future with your vote, you F' ing Leech!!
@eatme - Its amazing within 500 words how much or little you can write. Obviously, by your content and delivery, from your side, we could expect an obnoxious impotent future that looks to worn out and defeated solutions of the past administration. Take your flacid, vulgar, and obviously redneck approach and take a long swim with that anchor you call a party.
Don't worry, we'll throw you a life preserver when you self destruct. Even a butt hole has a use. What a joke.
@pjamesbda Ahhhh!!!!No!!! It's amazing how much of a Jack Ass, such as yourself, can see the country is heading south and won't admit your jesus, Barrack Husein Obama, is taking us there with the help of a Statist Congress. Wake-up, Fool, you guys are in the minority Now! You're surrounded by people who have been, or is just now, waking up. Have you checked approval numbers lately, moron. Oh, I forgot, "It's Bushes fault!!" Give it up. If you don't like it here, Get the F*ck Out! Move!! Jack*ss!
@eatmelibs i would say the same for you.. remember, the leader is a democrat, voted by the majority... so quit your fucking whining, we voted him in BECAUSE we wanted healthcare, hell most 62%! want universal care, im tired of obama even trying to compromise with you fucking idiots. if you dont like it get the fuck out. socialism is comin back!! woohoo!!
Socialism on the way back?!?! When was this country Ever Socialist,Dip Shit! If you Un-American F*cks want a communistic or socialist country...then F*CKIN' MOVE to ONE! Hell, you got Cuba.....That's not far...So get on a F*cking Boat and Paddle your P*ssy A*sses over there! This country was Founded on Conservative Principles and it Will stay that way! All of you U.S. hating F*gs need shipped out of this country or simply exterminated like the cockroaches you are. SO, F*CK YOU!! Little Children!
@eatmelibs haha..someones got sand in his vagina..boohoo... America is based on the values of change and growth, the rights of the people to govern themselves. We gave Capitalism a chance and it failed, now we want change, get over it or move out. your greed based ideology cant hide itself from reality anymore, you want capitalism so you can steal from the broken backs of your workers, we want socialism so a truly fair system can be created
@eatmelibs My party is "marxist"?...... uh.... yay.... its about time we did something about this greed driven monster we call the US.. where millions die in streets and in hospitals because the top 10% horde all the wealth. stop being a greedy fuck and turning a blind eye to the failing of the country, just so you can by that third car.. fucking greedy neo-cons
Millions die? Where do you get your numbers from .................... a mosquito pond? People like you always exaggerate. If you would get off of your dead ash and get a job, maybe you might earn enough to build a personal fortune. But no .................... you would rather steal from others and call it redistribution. You are a hideous joke.
Too bad it wasn't actually reconciliation, huh?

In 2005 Republicans wanted to change Senate rules to use reconciliation to avoid Democratic filibusters. Harry Reid had this to say about it then:
but no we are not going to follow the Senate rules, no because of the arrogance of power of this Republican administration
Obama's opinion:
you have simply majoritarian absolute power on either side and thats just not what the founders intended
UMMM maybe Im confused but isnt that exactly what youre going to try to do now?
