No, the US Federal Reserve is not printing money with nothing to back it up.
No, we are not going into hyper-inflation.

No, No, No!

Now you can wake up and face reality.

You have no clue what that little green piece of paper with Federal Note printed on it, really is.

Do you think they are going to be able to hire more people paying that?

Regardless, I'd like to hear how passing this legislation will create jobs.

Don't worry about those pesky details. Be happy and just believe that "this bill will create jobs".

If this bill can cut the deficit and save money, possibly even generate money then why can't it create jobs too ?

This is the holy grail of bills..this bill is going to save all facets of our recession and make those green shoots bloom like no tomorrow.

So watch..on Monday all will be different. We'll be saved.

(would you like another glass of koolaid ?)

That's GRREAT news!!!!
I'm going to pay my $500/year fine for not having coverage until I get really sick, THEN I'll get some of that there pre-existing condition kinda insurance so's I can go to the hospital and get operated on by some guy named Boris from the local community college.
Soon's as he gets me all doctored up, I'll drop that coverage and go back to paying my fines!!!!


Sounds silly, but what's to stop 80% of Americans from doing just that?????
