Now I am reading that the exchanges make you put your information in before quoting you anything, are offering up exorbitant, even extortionate pricing, then offering the unfortunate souls dumb or desperate enough to trust Obama the choice of paying that pricing, or facing a hefty fine for not paying it, which will be collected by the IRS with all the powers it has to collect any other tax, which include wage garnishment, involuntary bank withdrawals, and the seizure of property.
Many businesses are flat out saying they want out of providing health insurance as a benefit, and will be forcing people onto these exchanges, which will no doubt work out to net disposable income decreases. This in turn will lead to drops in consumer spending outside the insurance arena, and negative economic outcomes. And all of this money is wasted. People are either being cheated (there is no doubt a lot of government pork in these numbers, too: somebody has to pay the salaries and benefit packages of the bureaucrats administering this plan, and unlike in a free market, there is no cost for failure) or buying what I have called “prepaid insurance”, not true insurance. My short, ten paragraph treatment of this topic is here: http://www.goodnessmovement.com/files/Download/Notes–31–healthcare%20in%20ten%20paragraphs.pdf
While we’re at it, does anyone remember that the “Stimulus” was also “urgent”, that if we didn’t pass it we would have unemployment rates pretty much like we have now? I do.
Let me remind folks of Alberto Gonzalez, too. We were told he did an awful thing to cover up some sort of crime they were sure would be outed soon enough. That was a number of years ago. Hillary is making noise about fulfilling her narcissistic fantasy of standing on a podium, convinced that the nation loves her. She was one of the most vocal critics calling for Gonzalez’s resignation. Since he was the first Hispanic Attorney General, the normal rules would have been to protect him at all costs, like Obama has been protecting Eric Holder from what in my view should be “accomplice to murder” charges. But Bush was the President, and anything they could do to weaken his public image was fair game. They play to win elections; they don’t play to improve the lives of anyone. Destroying people is just part of the system. Hillary was an acolyte of Saul Alinsky, too. If I’m not mistaken, I think she actually met him.
An essential assumption of propaganda is that people forget everything the media is not presently talking about. This means, as one example, that both the North Koreans and the Boston bombing have disappeared. I remain unconvinced that we actually know who all the actors were, and I suspect at least a handful of people got away, probably including Obama’s Saudi buddy who only a few months later was a guest at the White House. Benghazi is only still out there because people are working hard to keep it out there.
The very abundance of news, the constant news feeds, the 24/7 coverage actually makes it much EASIER, not harder, to suppress stories. I will reiterate that is why you need to periodically check in with alleged cranks like Alex Jones to see what he has dug up that is being ignored or forgotten.
