The real truth of the matter is that Washington want people to die off and wants our jobs taken away. If this was not the case then they would do something. They want us to be a third world nation and they are trying to kill off most of the population before this happens. Take peoples jobs and their health and mental health care away and they have nothing else left. This is what they are doing. I hate it here in Oregon and know that is what they are trying to do based on what I have heard.

As were recovering from the "Great Recession" we need to continue extending Unemployment Insurance for people who simply can't find work right now. But we need to reform Unemployment Insurance and use it to put people back to work.

@MrsSarb About our future: Obama via the stimulus was able to get some funding into various "Green Tech" to help build the new industries of the future so that we have jobs here & can compete w/China...But Obama is trying to get more funding 4 R&D & the GOP blocked it & plans to block future investments while China just announced it will be investing 1.5 TRILLION over the next 5yrs into "Green Tech" solar, wind, high speed rail & info tech...America will lose if the GOP gets their way! SAD!

@MrsSarb Without mandates there is NO WAY to reduce the cost of insurance & many more people will lose their insurance as prices for premiums continue to sky rocket! This country is going down fast & the GOP simply has no fresh ideas for the future other than religion & tax cuts. It is a shame! Continued...

[Viracocha711]

@MrsSarb The ONLY reason the Republicans are against mandates is because Obama embraced them...Mandates & the exchanges were the main tenets of the Republican health care plan before Obama...The Republicans are opposed to manadates strickly for political reasons as they know if the mandates are struck down by the SCOTUS then the entire health care bill cannot be paid for. It really is disgusting what they are doing! Continued...

[MrsSarb]

@Viracocha711 Mandating that people buy insurance is probably the single biggest thing that conservatives have against this health care bill. Oh yeah, and conservative does not necessarily mean GOP. There have been plenty of Republicans who aren't actually conservative.

[Viracocha711]

@MrsSarb It is kinda ironic Conservatives will embrace social Darwinism & yet many deny life evolved on planet Earth...I use to vote GOP being pior military so I fell 4 the BS they cared for the troops & were fiscally responsible...Neither are true! The GOP via Talk Radio & FOX "News" have fooled most into believing they are & the Dems are not but the facts suggest otherwise. Well, both are not fiscally responsible but the GOP is worse Dems are far better at taking care of the troops!

[Viracocha711]

@MrsSarb Did you know much of the Health Care Reform bill was GOP ideas? Mandates, Exchanges & other aspects of reform were all huge parts of the GOPs health care plan until Obama embraced them! The GOP was listened to but it was clear early on the GOP wanted to kill ANYTHING Obama supported for strickly political reasons...I mean how do you wrap your head around them blocking health care for 9/11 responders? The GOP wants full control by any means necessary!
