This whole health care fiasco is nothing but a huge new tax.Why does a person who has tens of millions or even a million dollars need to pay thousands of dollars a month into a health care plan when he can pay the entire hospital bill on the spot for what ever they go there for?What we have is Obama's Socialist plan for spreading the wealth around.Anyone making over 88,000 a year are just getting a massive tax increase to pay for something they can
afford anyways.

Sorry, Government, when reporting numbers, has lost all credibility.
They were caught lying about the number of jobs created or saved. Seems they can publish exactly what they choose and call it the truth.

Attacking my truth won't make the posted topic true.

Yes they have the highest ratings. More American watch Fox than any other news station. That speaks volumes and it's because of the people that Fox has the highest ratings.

Here's a stimulus success story: In Arizona's 15th congressional district, 30 jobs have been saved or created with just $761,420 in federal stimulus spending. At least that's what the Web site set up by the Obama administration to track the $787 billion stimulus says.

There's one problem, though: There is no 15th congressional district in Arizona; the state has only eight districts.

And ABC News has found many more entries for projects like this in places that are incorrectly identified.

Late Monday, officials with the Recovery Board created to track the stimulus spending, said the mistakes in crediting nonexistent congressional districts were caused by human error.

"We report what the recipients submit to us," said Ed Pound, Communications Director for the Board.

Pound told ABC News the board receives declarations from the recipients - state governments, federal agencies and universities - of stimulus money about what program is being funded.

"Some recipients clearly don't know what congressional district they live in, so they appear to be just throwing in any number. We expected all along that recipients would make mistakes on their congressional districts, on jobs numbers, on award amounts, and so on. Human beings make mistakes," Pound said.

The issue has raised hackles on Capitol Hill.

Rep. David Obey, D-Wisc, who chairs the powerful House appropriations Committee, issued a paper statement demanding that the recovery.gov Web site be updated.

"The inaccuracies on recovery.gov that have come to light are outrageous and the Administration owes itself, the Congress, and every American a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes."

It's like watching children run the nation. They report what the recipients tell them. This leaves it wide open for fraud and abuse. This makes all the data tainted and useless.

This White House wants to take over the census in order to politicize it for their own sneaky purposes. If they can't get this right, how screwed up could they make the census data?

If you're referring to "under God", that isn't 2 centuries old-it's only about 60 years old. Did you know that the pledge was written by Francis Bellamy-an avowed socialist, and the original salute was exactly like the Nazi salute?

I prefer the original American flag or the Gadsden flag to the modern one. The modern one represents a militaristic empire and has little to do with the spirit of 1776.

That Ben Franklin quote you're thinking of goes "Those who would surrender essential liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security".

You should realize that if you revere the national emblem more than the State ones, you are in direct opposition to the founding philosophy. (that is, essentially, all rights belong to the citizens naturally, and they only surrender a few of them to their State first, then the Federal government as they feel needed. The Federalist Papers make this very clear)

If you seriously are as afraid as you seem OP, I suggest joining either the Campaign for Liberty, or a local 10th amendment advocacy group.

Dammit! How many times do I have to tell you that you cannot post anything involving economics and actual logic around here!?! You know it just confuses the living daylights out of everyone lol.

It's really very simple, actually, and exactly what is wrong with the plan. I just wish mire people had taken economics 101 so they could understand why.

Great article

For such an "intelligent",, person, he sure has, in his year in, made quite a few buffoonist blunders.
Bowing befor Egypt king, trying to make a presentation without his telepromptor, declaring he will change,"destroy", the greatest country in the world. I'm sure other Minglers can come up with more of his "intelligent" actions.

Bush almost destroyed this country in office for over eight years- where was the voices of -Save America!Bush did a lot of bowing- our deficit in trillions, He launched terrorist fights-no Bin ladin- where were the tea baggers? look up the history-He bowed.....See you at the polls in 2012
