Another Democratic Party Crapper. Health Care. We need jobs. Republicans win in 2012.



Democrats are not working on what America needs. JOBS.

Who is going to fund this stupid healthcare fantasy if no one is working?


The bill out of the Senate today still leaves 29,000,000 Americans without health insurance and higher costs. What the hell are we paying these elected people in Washington for? That's not progress.


Since the amout of Americans that won't be insured is just about the same as it is now ( only at a higher rate of tax burden ) wouldn't it be better to leave things as they are?

A change for the better would simply be to allow individuals and employers to shop across state lines. Shop for the best price. This competition would lower the price of health insurance.


The 800 billion dollar stimulus hasn't even trickled out yet. We were promised shovel ready jobs.

No jobs in my state so far.


Please comment on the waste of time and money spent on the wrong headed direction of our Representatives and Senators concerning a change in healthcare in America.

Shouldn't they be doing everything possible to create jobs?

I don't care how much HOPE you personally have in Barack over there in New Jersey.

In 9 months he has outspent all previous Presidents combined.

Where do you think this money comes from?

He is now proposing more spending.


Are you nuts?


Democrats will lose in 2010 and 2012 because of this idiocy.

No, he has NOT solved a single problem and has not accomplished one single MAJOR issue.

Not a very good track record even with record spending and a super majority handing him a blank check.

Jobs is the issue and thus far Obama has lost 8 million jobs in 10 months.

He said he would be able to create 5 million new jobs. That was a total lie because with his policies of being anti small business no way could he create 5 million NEW jobs.

Give it time. Rome wasn't built in a day. It took FDR years. Weren't these the same people who said we need to wait it out in Iraq? Draw a line.

From what I remember from my college courses in economics, it takes 1 to 3 years before governmental policies (either driven by the Preseident or by Congress) affect the economy, so to lay the current job situation on his door is wrong. Regardless of your political affiliation, the current job situation as well the recent rebounding of the DOW are the results of the previous presidency.

That's problem with extremist, both left and right, they can only awknowledge the bad a leader does and never the good. Reality is always somewhere in the middle.

Your village idiot and your Republican party spent 8 years and did nothing for this country. You wasted a trillion dollars on an ideological war and lost, negatively impacting millions. You spent a helluva lot of money here but that doesn't count as "spending" to you regressives. You created jobs...for foreigners. Republicans suck.

Let us know when your farcical party re-creates its ideology to separate itself from that of the klan, from that of the most racist people in this country, and from what it has represented the last 8 years.

Yoopercat cannot imagine how many jobs can be created by bringing adequate health care to all the people in this country. Health care, not insurance, will be the major growth industry in the next three decades.

Yes, it did take years when FDR was president and then when the economy did come around, he didn't do it, the war did.

How would you know if these are the same people that said wait it out in Iraq and what does Iraq have to do with the economy over here any way. I think the point a lot of people are making, is that it's going in the wrong direction trying to pay for health care right now.
