The government is beholden to big business and now the government wants American Citizens beholden to the government. It is sad we are becoming a huge banana republic. We mostly produce paper in the form of financial products while more capital/hard assets have gone overseas. Our politicians are corrupt participants in an incestuous relationship with business. The functions of government are perverted way beyond what the founding fathers had intended. Health care reform is one more strike!
Hey, could we get Closed Captioning on this? I have friends with auditory processing disorders and some with cochlear implants which are not perfect, and I would like to be able to share this with them.
lol..he will be gone by this time next year....the people have spoken ..they dont want this huge pork so called health care reform, it will only damage the economy further..nut thousand of business out of business....shame on these heartless liberal fucks
Well, I dunno if the people have spoken, but health reform is set to pass on Xmas eve, and then in the House in January. So...maybe you just tuned in but instead of saying "heartlass liberal fucks" you could pay attention to who is watering down this bill. The majority of Democrats want a strong public option that would lower your healthcare costs. Six of them don't. That's where all this compromise comes in. As for Republicans, not a one will vote for this bill.
No one should vote for this nutty thing..first of all it will kill small businesses second jam packed full of pork now from reid paying off for votes third why threaten Liebermans wife like that? fourth why do you think so many dems are against it now?...so no i have every right to say "heartless liberal fucks" because they justly deserve so... ..you have obviously not done much looking into this subject...just another brainless obama minion ..could be wrong
Are you serious? Please. How about extending unemployment benefits, drastically reducing the cost of Cobra insurance for people when they lose their jobs just to name a couple of things. How about saving the country from sinking into a depression. The Bush administratin fiddled whille the country burned into a deep recession. Don't mind me though, I don't want to confuse you with the facts.
I'm torn about this as well. From what I understand, this bill will force people to get health insurance without lowering costs. However, when Social Security passed in 1935, it excluded agricultural farmers, self-employed, and many other categories. In other words, a weak bill turned into one of the most successful government programs of all time. Would you rather they pass a weak bill now and make it better?
I thought this was great! The fact is the Republicans only complained and never had to have their plan scrutinized point by point.. Isn't it also interesting that the people that were against healthcare reform are by and large people who's campaigns are bought and paid for by the healthcare companies. Way to go Democrats and President Obama. President Obama has done more for this country in 11 months than Bush did in 8 years and everybody knows it.
This fool has nothing better to do that this? He was not even elected. Appointed by a crooked governor from a crooked state who gave us a crooked President. God help us all.
He is a direct product of the corrupt Chicago political machine that has produced the most corrupt public officials for the past 50 years. Chicago politics makes New Orleans look like choir boys.
This man is a true genius among an avalanche of ignorance.

Well said Senator Burris. Those obstructionist Republicans would vote to discard their mother away if Obama suggested we save her.
