The Senate on Tuesday passed Senate bill 365, otherwise known as the bill to extend the debt ceiling
==================================================================================
Or more appropriately named, "The Bill to Kick the Can Down the Dead End Road", or maybe "Obama's Blank Check"
Senator Sunspot votes against - what a surprise! Not.
Takin' names and gonna kick some butt. ha ha ha ha ha
Thank you, Marco Rubio.
One thing that will be "Etched in my mind forever,is the "Smurk" on Cantor and Boehners faces,while they tried to destroy the working class,and poor americans!!!! My whole family turned Democrat,when we saw this Total Disrespect! Can,t wait for election day??
"Going forward, we are pleased that Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare benefits are protected if the so-called 'super committee' fails to reach an agreement later this fall, but we will remain vigilant in our efforts to protect the health and retirement security of seniors and future retirees. We are concerned that a fast-track committee process will deny Americans a voice in the discussion about critical tax, health and retirement issues. We also are concerned about the potential use of a trigger that would arbitrarily cut provider payments under Medicare, which could unfairly shift costs to seniors." ~ See the Medicare cuts are provider only and Medicaid and SS benefits are exempt and cannot be touched. Note benefits are exempt. Democrats have wanted to cut provider payments all along and that's what this trigger does. What will happen is probably this, the committee finds spending cuts but not enough to make up the predetermined amount needed to prevent the triggers. Therefore democrats propose revenue increases to make up for it. If republicans agree, which they won't, then defense and Medicare provider cuts take place... Both things that democrats have always wanted.
A lot of hard core dems signed this bill. Makes me wonder. Oh, well. Now "we have to read it to see what's in it." Arghh!
When Leaders are unwilling or unable to solve the countrys' deep malaise...they simply set-up commissions
to do nothing but kick the can further down the road...! "Tough actions are needed, perhaps with short-term pain
but with long-term gains" ...The American people understand the dire situation that they and the country is in and are looking
to Washington for leadership to get the country out of and move forward, however hard the burden might be......!
