Comments on: Senate Dems trim cost of health care bill http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/18287 The oldest political news site on the Internet Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:30:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: southgeorgia912 http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/18287/comment-page-1#comment-50587 southgeorgia912 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-50587 Dodd will say anything just for show; always has. It really sickens the hell out of me that Congress thinks they have the answers to everything. It will be a cold day in hell before I let some wacko liberal Democrat tell me what health insurance to obtain and which doctor they "think" I need to see. They need to keep their filthy hands out of our wallets and their nose out of our business. Dodd will say anything just for show; always has.

"wacko neoconservative Republican" Just as helpful. Both epithets are MOST conducive to getting others not exactly in line with your point of view to attempt to see your side, your point, your objective. We should definitely keep on using such slurs because they are most helpful in solving all of our problems. They help keep us separated, divided, so that agendas NONE of us would support can proceed as the master elite wish. Kent Shaw “wacko liberal Democrat”

This is helpful.

Hard to believe we had over 50 just a year ago. We already have our layoffs planned through August. We honestly cannot afford this new tax or the cap and tax legislation. Between the two we'll be out of business by year end. It's really kind of scary. Talking to my executives I've been told we might try to run with just salaried people (10 or so out of 39) if it comes to that. We are doing everything we can just to survive at this point. This is without the new taxes. With the new taxes, we are probably done. 5 more to fall this Friday. Down to 34. But isn't the economy doing great? The Fed said so! BREAKING: Just been informed that Cox Communications is closing customer service centers, 220 are about to lose their jobs in the next few days. There are strong indicators the recession is about to smack white collar middle class America right in the face. Sounds like my small manufacturing company of 39 is about to drop to 25.

Jobs aren't going to start back up until people have money in their pockets to spend. It's a circular problem that the banks created, and are perpetuating with their lack of lending. We must have health care reform, but citizens also need jobs so they can pay for insurance. Personally, I think the stimulus funds should have gone to the households in this country with the direction to pay down debt. I figure 80% of the households would have; sending the money into the same places that received the direct stimulus funds, but with the added benefit of the citizens debt being dramatically reduced, with more available cash to fuel the ecoonomy. Common sense is tainted by greed at the top. We are seeing small businesses who have been holding on, starting to fail now.
