CBO: Obamacare to Cause 20 Million to Lose Their Employer-Paid Health Care Benefits

New post on Scotty Starnes's Blog

CBO: Obamacare to Cause 20 Million to Lose Their Employer-Paid Health Care Benefits

This was the goal of Obama (YouTube took down the video, as usual, showing Obama stating he wanted to end employer-paid health care in 10, 15 or 20 years) and Democrats. Force Americans to lose their employer-paid health benefits so they all would be force onto the government exchanges.

From The Hill:

As many as 20 million Americans could lose their employer-provided coverage because of President Obama's healthcare reform law, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in a new report Thursday.

The figure represents the worst-case scenario, CBO says, and the law could just as well increase the number of people with employer-based coverage by 3 million in 2019.

The best estimate, subject to a "tremendous amount of uncertainty," is that about 3 million to 5 million fewer people will obtain coverage through their employer each year from 2019 through 2022.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc) points out one of several Obama lies:

..."President Obama's string of empty promises is quickly becoming a disappointing trail of broken promises," House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a statement. "He promised Americans that his overhaul of the health care sector would not jeopardize the health coverage of those who liked what they had. As nonpartisan analysts made clear today, millions of Americans will soon learn the hard way that Washington's overreach into their health care decisions will result in sharp disruptions to their coverage and their care."

Obama thinks you can afford this $50 light bulb

New post on Fellowship of the Minds

Obama thinks you can afford this $50 light bulb

by Dr. Eowyn

Have you ever seen a $50 light bulb?

Me neither.

Here's your chance! Just feast your eyes on this award-winning super-duper LED!

Are you impressed?

No?

Silly you. Silly me.

But Obama's Energy Department is so gosh-darned impressed that it awarded Philips Corp., the manufacturer of the $50 60-watt LED, $10 million of taxpayers' hard-earned dollars as an "L Prize" for an environmentally sensitive bulb that is "affordable for American families"!

As a Washington Times editorial points out, although the new LED is more energy-efficient than standard incandescent bulbs and may last up to 10 years, but given that it costs 50 times the price of the typical old-style bulb, this eats up any long-term savings.

The Energy Department defends the bulb's exorbitant price, claiming costs are expected to fall over time. However, the original contest guidelines projected a retail price less than half of the $50 that the bulb is sold at retail. More curious still is that fact that there are already much less expensive LED bulbs available, but these did not receive the Obama administration's seal of approval.

It's all about quid pro quo, more commonly known as "I'll scratch your back, and you'll scratch mine." Ten to one we'll find out at some future date that, like solar-panel maker Solyndra, Philips' CEO is also a big Obama supporter.

Solyndra's execs and board members were big donors to Obama and the Democratic Party and -- SURPRISE! -- Solyndra was favored with $535 million in federal loan guarantees. Alas, taxpayers will never see any of the $535 million loan repaid because Solyndra had gone belly up bankrupt.

Meanwhile, King Obama tells the American people who face steeply rising prices at the gas pump:

"Let them eat cake buy the affordable $50 light bulb!"

Re: What is your plan? IF OBAMA WINS

Somehow I am guessing y'all didn't know that the DEMOCRAT (as in 90%) Mass legislature got on their collective knees, and gave Mitt a slurpy, to save their precious bond rating from the (junk) gutter.

He did, cuz it was one hell of a hummer!

NOW, they're pissed?

Too funny. Wipe your chin, you look ridiculous.

What is your plan?

Just thinking out loud here......

Assume Obama is re-elected. We know his goals are to convert the USA as we know it, to what has failed in Europe's past of a combination socialistic Marxist type society.

Under this type of government he will reign until he is over thrown as the dictator, and an election of a President as we know it will be history.

The same as Hitler took power the public desired a change in their lives, so has Americans sought a change in their government.  History does repeat itself.

So, how and what will change as we know it, as we grew up to know freedom in America and as our children will know it?

1.  Capitalistic enterprise will cease.

2. Private home ownership will end.

3. Transportation will revert to horse and buggy, bicycle, or moped in order to be "Green".  The oil industry will be owned by the Government, as will all industry and commerce.

4.  Food will be rationed and monitored by your RFID implant as to what you buy and sell, as will your location by GPS.

5.  All weapons & firearms will be destroyed.

6. Religion will only be Muslim and Sharia Law will replace our Cannon Law.  All non Muslims will be executed as threats to the Allah.

7. All women will be circumcised to please Allah, and will be considered non essential.

8. All Jews will be slain quickly.

9. All crops, food & livestock &  shelter will be owned by the government.

10. All non Muslims will become slaves.

11.  The Internet will be banned.

12. Fox news will be banned.

13. Only state owned tv & news.

For the first time in history the Russians & Arabs have joined forces against the Jews.  Iran will bomb Israel before the November elections and World War III will begin.

Obama will use the war to "Save America", and be re-elected.  Same old method of creating a problem and then solving to be the good guy.

After America surrenders to Russia & Arabs the Chinese will step in and change the US monetary system since we owe them the Twenty Trillion Dollars Obama has indebted us to them.  Part of the theory of the Art of War, let your enemies kill each other.

So what is your survival plan?

Your money is worthless.

You car has no gas.

Your food pantry is empty.

You no longer have a home.

And you no longer have your FREEDOM !

What legacy did you leave your kids?

Re: Frustrated with Immigrants? Just Wait until They Leave

There is, however, an irony to this battle that appears to be lost on deportation proponents: many people are already leaving voluntarily or choosing not to come.
> That's right, for thefirst time in sixty years, net illegal migration from Mexico has gone to zero; it may even have tipped into the negatives. Approximately six out of ten illegal immigrants in the United States originate from Mexico, but in just the past three years apprehensions along the southern border have fallen by53 percent. In fact, the Pew Hispanic Center puts the current number of illegal immigrants at11.2 million, down from a peak of 12 million in 2007.
> A further testament to the reversal is that the demographics of illegal residents are changing. Just 15 percent of today's illegal residents arrived within the last 5 years, for example; it was32 percent in 2000.
> And it's not only illegal immigrants eyeing distant lands. The Census Bureau's net international-migration measure has been trending downward since 2000 (PDF, p. 17). Even if the accuracy of that data may be questionable,anecdotes aboundof immigrant communities packing up shop and heading home. TheAtlanticmagazine went so far as to call this trend "The End of Chinatown."
> As fewer immigrants come, legal or otherwise, and more return home, two grains of truth become apparent for those willing to observe. First, immigration isnot the causeof America's problems, so its reversal will do nothing to restore economic prosperity or individual liberty. Second, America is no longer the shining city on a hill that many people revere. It is becomingless free and prosperousat an alarming rate, and the changing immigration flows reflect that.Fears about immigrantsOne leading fear regarding immigrants is that they tend to replace domestic workers. This, of course, assumes individuals born in a certain location or holding certain government-granted privileges are more valuable than other individuals. However, if we put aside the nativism, arecent incidentin Asheville, North Carolina, shows that this fear is unfounded.
> To comply with theE-Verifyprogram and avoid legal charges, a wholesaler of flowers fired more than 60 illegal immigrants in 2009. Two years later, despite 8 percent unemployment in the county and higher than 10 percent unemployment in the state, the owner has been unable to find replacements. "Those who want to work fail to pass E-Verify, and those that pass fail to work," heexplained.
> The work ethic of these immigrants, and their willingness to accept menial labor rather than pursue welfare (PDF, p. 5), puts many native-born Americans to shame.
> Okay, but perhaps their departure will require employers to pay better wages to attract locals. That does make some economic sense, but as the warehouse owner points out, "Without comprehensive immigration reform, [verification requirements are] going to kill agriculture." In other words, some ventures are simply not viable at a higher cost of labor.
> And, as Bryan Caplan of George Mason University hasnoted, "Immigration has little or no effect on overall wages. Educated Americans are primarily customers, not competitors, of new arrivals." So pushing foreigners out in the hopes of increasing the employment of native-born Americans is a fool's errand.
> What about crime then -- shouldn't that be subsiding as the number of immigrants decreases? Perhaps this will be surprising to some, but evidence suggests thatimmigrants commitfewercrimesthan native-born Americans. Even the Center for Immigration Studies, which actively seeks to reduce immigration into the United States,admittedthat they "found no strong evidence one way or the other for the notion that immigrants commit either more or less crime than the American population."Why is immigration falling?The sad part of this story is that people are leaving (or not coming in the first place) because the American dream is on the way out.Migration follows economic freedom, and the United States is no longer the freest nation on earth far from it. In fact, according to the Fraser Institute ranking, the United States has less economic freedom than Canada and the United Kingdom; and it fell four places, from the sixth to the tenth position, in the latest ranking (based on 2009 data;PDF).
> "Much of this decline is a result of higher spending and borrowing on the part of the U.S. government, and lower scores for legal structure and property rights," the release notes. Of course the many trillions of official debts andunfunded liabilitiesare hardly enticing to would-be immigrants or Americans. Who would want to be stuck with that tab?http://www.fff.org/comment/com1112x.asp

Karzai Calls on U.S. to Pull Back in Afghanistan as Taliban Cancel Talks

Karzai Calls on U.S. to Pull Back as Taliban Cancel Talks

Omar Sobhani/Reuters
An American soldier, center, kept watch during a security transition
ceremony from a private security company to the Afghan government at a
power plant in Kabul on Wednesday.

By ROD NORDLAND and MATTHEW ROSENBERG
KABUL, Afghanistan — Prospects for an orderly withdrawal of NATO
forces from Afghanistan suffered two blows on Thursday as President
Hamid Karzai demanded that the United States confine troops to major
bases by next year, and the Taliban announced that they were
suspending peace talks with the Americans.

Getting talks started with the Taliban has been a major goal of the
United States and its NATO allies for the past two years, and only in
recent months was there concrete evidence of progress.

And the declaration by President Karzai, if carried out, would greatly
accelerate the pace of transition from NATO to Afghan control, which
previously was envisioned to be complete by 2014. Defense officials
admitted there was a major divide between Mr. Karzai's declaration and
the American goals of training the Afghan security forces and
conducting counterinsurgency operations. Successful counterinsurgency
requires close working relationships with rural Afghans to help build
schools, roads and bring about other improvements.

Asked if it was possible to take all American forces out of villages
by 2013 and still train Afghan security forces and conduct
counterinsurgency operations, a senior American defense official
replied, "It's not clear that we would be able to."

Mr. Karzai declaration came in reaction to widespread Afghan anger
over the massacre by an American soldier of 16 civilians in Kandahar
on Sunday, and the decision of the military authorities to remove the
soldier from Afghanistan, which was reported on Wednesday.

The Taliban statement, issued in English and Pashto on an insurgent
Web site, said talks with an American representative had commenced
over the release of some Taliban members from the Guantánamo Bay
prison, but accused the American representative of changing the
preconditions for the talks.

The statement did not make clear what preconditions were
objectionable, but the statement emphasized that the Taliban were only
interested in talking with the Americans, and criticized "propaganda"
about the talks that American officials had issued. Zabiullah Mujahid,
a spokesman for the Taliban reached by cellphone at an undisclosed
location, said the statement suspending the talks was genuine but
declined to discuss it further.

It was unclear if the two developments might have been related. But
both came to light just as Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta had left
Afghanistan after a tense two-day visit that included talks with Mr.
Karzai, and the Afghanistan president's announcement in particular
appeared to be a surprise. On Wednesday, President Obama said in
Washington that the timetable for an Afghanistan withdrawal would not
change.

Defense officials traveling with Mr. Panetta in Abu Dhabi said that
the tone of the meeting between Mr. Karzai and Mr. Panetta was more
positive than Mr. Karzai's statement would indicate, and that he made
no demands of the defense secretary — suggesting that the statement
was in part aimed at a domestic audience enraged not only by the
massacre but also by recent Koran burnings.

The officials acknowledged that Mr. Karzai told Mr. Panetta during
their meeting that American troops should be confined to major bases
by next year, but the officials sought to publicly tamp down the
differences and portray the two countries as working together.
"Secretary Panetta said, 'We're on the same page here,' " the Pentagon
press secretary, George Little, quoted Mr. Panetta as telling Mr.
Karzai.

Mr. Panetta, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said he had told
Mr. Karzai that the military pledged a full investigation of the
massacre and would bring the gunman to justice. He said that Mr.
Karzai had not brought up the transfer of the suspect, an Army staff
sergeant, to Kuwait.

Although the move was likely to further anger Afghans, who had called
for him to be tried in their country, Lieutenant Gen. Curtis M.
Scaparrotti, the No. 2 American commander in Afghanistan, told
reporters that the Afghans had been informed of the move ahead of
time, and he said that "their response is that they understood."

General Scaparrotti said that the American military would likely not
make the suspect's name public until and if he was formally charged.
He did not say when that might happen. "We are conscious of due
process," he said.
