How far over the line do the Democrats in Congress have to go ?

Monday, March 14, 2011

they are making deals to buy votes left and right ! Last night they made a deal with the union daddies a 65 billion dollar deal, they pay no tax on there cadillac health care until at least 2018, and then they still get a better deal than the rest of us . They also pay no tax ever on dental and eye care. This includes all the high paid union people and government employees ! Nebraska cut a deal , Louisiana got a deal the rest of us are getting screwed ! We will be making up the money they are buying votes with ! So liberals just how far into the corruption will you let them go ! They have done this behind closed doors so we have no idea what they are doing , if it was going to benefit us they would be singing it from the roofs in D.C. Just what is it going to take before you see that they are stealing you blind !

Yes, anyone still defending the current crop of Democrats needs to wake the fk up. NO SPECIAL INTEREST LEFT BEHIND.........Gotta love corporate welfare!!!! Let's recap: No public option, no watered down public option, no medicaid buy-in, and no cheaper drugs due to backroom deal between BIG PHARMA and the WH. Obviously this sell-out to corporate America was not enough to get 60 votes in the Senate. So then they cut the "Louisiana Purchase" with Landrieu and bought her vote for over a hundred million. Then there was the "Cornhusker Kickback" which they used to buy Ben Nelson's vote for over $100 million. AND NOW they have made a special deal ("Labor Loophole") to exempt organized labor from the new excise tax on "cadillac" plans. If you happen to be in the middle class and own one of these plans BUT AREN"T in labor union........tough sh*t. And of course Obama flip-flopped on almost every single substantive campaign promise he made as a candidate with regards to healthcare. (1 Transparency, 2 Individual Mandates, 3 Taxes on Cadillac Plans) Are Democrats really going to try to sell this piece of sh*t as REFORM?? http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NjZ… The nation's labor unions, according to Congress Daily, have cut a deal with House Democrats: Labor will drop its opposition to the so-called Cadillac tax — an excise tax on high-cost employer-provided health-care plans — if Congress will carve out an exemption for plans provided under collective-bargaining agreements. Even after all the unsavory bargains and rotten deals that have characterized the rush to get this thing passed (the "Louisiana Purchase," the "Cornhusker Kickback," etc.) the "Labor Loophole" surely takes the prize. A few Democrats in the Senate already tried this trick and were laughed out of the smoke-filled room, so nakedly obvious was the special-interest favoritism at work. That the Democratic party is seriously reconsidering this deal is a sign of how desperate it has become to pass a bill — any bill — that shoves the federal foot through the waiting-room door. --------------------------------------… 1. Obama promised to have healthcare negotiations on C-SPAN......(obviously these negotiations are taking place behind closed doors.........hence the vote buying etc.) To be fair: cameras were allowed to film for a whopping ONE HOUR. http://www.breitbart.tv/c-span-ceo-white… 2. Obama campaigned AGAINST a federal mandate for individuals to buy private insurance.........(he now supports it........hmmmm) "I mean, if a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house. The reason they don't buy a house is they don't have the money. " -Candidate Barack Obama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoSnqofel… 3. Obama campaigned AGAINST taxing "cadillac plans"...........(he now supports it) "John McCain calls these plans "Cadillac plans." Now in some cases, it may be that a corporate CEO is getting too good a deal. But what if you're a line worker making a good American car like the Cadillac? What if you're one of the steelworkers who are working right here in Newport News, and you've given up wage increases in exchange for a better health care" -Candidate Barack Obama http://firedoglake.com/2010/01/07/cadill… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8wmN3wvh…
