Coburn: Medicare and Social Security 'Are Things We Don't Absolutely Need' | Video Cafe

Republicans want to put grandma back into a life of poverty.  The whole purpose of Social Security is to have seniors live in dignity.

Remember Social Security has a separate revenue stream that is not a part of the federal budget and that the maximum amount is 2200 USD/month.

Remember that Medicare is for seniors to live healthy lives not in pain and disease.  It is Republicans that created Medicare Part D that does not allow Medicare to use the economics of scale to bring down prescription drug costs down.

This is the dilemma of having bureaucracy in for profit health insurance running the show.  I am reminded of Bob aka Mr. Incredible working as a bureaucrat at an insurance company, from the film "The Incredibles", under a tyrannical boss.  Another film that comes to mind is the Terry Gilliam classic "Brazil".

Mitt Romney Massachusetts Budget Targeted Programs For Poor, Disabled

Mitt will do this to the nation at large as to what he tried to do under his governorship- cut for the poor and give to the rich.  There was no bipartisanship when he tried ram through his ideological based budget cuts.  The Democratic led legislature over rode over 100 vetoes by Romney that directly affected the poorest, the youth, veterans, and those that need mental health care.

Make sure that your local media is made aware of the fact that there was no "bipartisanship" to cut the services that those in need most under Governor Romney's term.

Mitt's national healthcare plan is the ER

Mitt's national campaign had to clear up Mitt's comment during the first presidential debate on pre existing conditions. Under President Obama's healthcare law insurance companies could not discriminate against people with pre existing conditions. However Mitt would "repeal" the Affordable Care Act. What about pre existing conditions of the patient? Well, it would be up to states to hold insurance companies accountable. So this fits neatly into the ideology of the Republican party: 1). The role of federal government is diminished. 2). States rights means that each state acts alone. 3). There is no role for the federal government in a individual's healthcare "choice". 4). Corporations are left to make business decisions that would affect their bottom line without the "interference" of federal government. What about the the other salient features of Obamacare(s)? Mitt and his Republican party would let insurance companies cap expenses. Parents could not kept their children insured until age 26. Insurance companies would not be required to spend 80 percent of premiums on patient care. In essence the Republican plan would be: Our national healthcare plan is the ER for all. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/10/top-romney-adviser-states-will-have-to-cover-people-with-pre-existing-conditions-under-president-rom.php?ref=fpb

Jack Kirby Thoughts | Zub Tales

Jack Kirby is the best because he created worlds from which others could build upon.  Look at Marvel and see what it would be without his creations.  Look at DC and imagine what it would be without his cosmological framework.  Think of the independent worlds of the Eternals and others he created on his work with independent comic book publishers that many people still enjoy to read.

Romney Campaign Clarifies Candidate’s Meet The Press Comments On Pre-Existing Conditions | TPM2012

The ultimate goal is to do away with government's ability to help those in need by Republicans.  Their vision for America is a America that looks like the Robber Baron era.  Where the rich steal the work of the workers without just compensation.  Where the cry for justice is brutally repressed by the organs of private security firms and police departments in the pay of the 1%.

The America that Republicans want is not we, the people, want.  Must we redo the basic inhumanity of 19th Century again?

States to Residents: Forget Promises to Restore School Funding

The Republican ideology is anti human.  Their sole goal is to protect the corporation.  Human beings are only to be used to maximize corporate profit.

People's lives are valuable only to making money for the corporate citizen.  What makes life worth living and valuable like having the arts to enjoy or parks to play in are a waste of money that should be used for the paramount goal by Republican ideology of making as much money as possible in as short a time frame.

This is what passes for 21st Century Republican thinking:  The old and young as well as those who are handicapped are "blood suckers" to the "job creators" of the world.  Therefore those human beings should be left to fend for themselves because the only goals of government should be is to help the military, the 1% and further corporate personhood.

Rachel Maddow: "Republicans Have Succeeded in Effectively Killing the Unions in Wisconsin" | Crooks and Liars

Rachel Maddow: "Republicans Have Succeeded in Effectively Killing the Unions in Wisconsin" | Crooks and Liars

"...Unions are the uniting of collective voices which speak for the greater good of workers who would otherwise have no voice. None...."

I pity the people who believe in Tea Party "principles" because the reality is wage theft and wage slavery by corporations. 

When you see "record" profits that means that the money is not going to wage and benefit increases to the people who work.

For example:  Is it any wonder the wage for restaurant waiters/waitresses have not increased by one cent in TWENTY years?  Think about it:  "... just $4,430 per year for a full-time worker."  What is the real wage for waiters/waitresses now? 

 

The deal was done by Herman Cain that has frozen their wages for waiters/waitresses.  The National Restaurant Association still opposes raising the wage. 

No benefits and working just to survive.
