Repeal the Emergency Medical Act

The Obamacare health reform has met its first Constitutional legal challenge.  Judge Henry Hudson clearly defined that the health care law exceeds the powers in the Commerce Clause Act.  The law that says the government cannot force you to buy something.  I can not agree more, no Constitutional card carrying member of this country should be forced to buy health care.

But there is a big but when someone is not forced to buy health care.  When they get into a car accident, I do not want to see their badly damaged butt in the emergency room unless they have cash on hand to pay.  In fact, along with their Constitutional card should be a record on how much money they have in the bank, or estate so then the EMTs could just go into the pockets of their semi-conscious body and retrieve their ability-to-pay-record.  Otherwise, these "I don't need no stinkin health-care" citizens will be costing you and me real money because remember some liberal put into law the Emergency Medical Act which states "hospitals and ambulance services need to provide care to anyone needing emergency health care treatment regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay. There are no reimbursement provisions."

The talk radio waves are now humming with the Judge Hudson ruling which got the ball rolling on repealing health care but someone needs to speak up for the people who are going to have to pay for this decision.  Sure, people are entitled to not get health care, but it better not infringe on my Constitutional Rights.  The Constitutional Right of mine to not have to pay for their mistakes in life.  People like rich talk show hosts have no problem adding another three hundred dollars a year onto their insurance bills but when you add this extra cash onto our bill because some card carrier believes in "freedom", I get annoyed.

What is President Obama Thinking

The president's latest try to walk the middle ground has the talk shows beaming.  Not only did the conservatives score big by not paying another dime in taxes, the president gave then a solid two weeks of fodder by allowing more spending on those wretched unemployed people.  I did not catch his name, he was on after Hannity but he was convinced there is this whole population of Obama supporters who just sit around drinking and cheering the Obama-man.  I grew up believing that if you are short on money you should increase your income and reduce spending or least some sort of combination of these.  What the president did was just the opposite, increase spending and not increase income.  I would have thought that letting the tax rates return to pre-Clinton levels while reducing spending would help us get out of debt, this is not believed to be correct.  The economic theory is that by extending unemployment benefits, we get $1.50 in commerce for every $1.0 spent.  Where I cannot argue this fact, I am one to believe that Americans have lived way beyond their means for the past twenty years and the Visa bill is due, it is time to suck it up.

Oh yea, those small business people who were so worried about their taxes increasing and in turn be unable to hire new people, your fears are over.  Start hiring, my brother is looking for work.

Cut the Beef

So much has happen since I was last able to listen to Hannity and the gang.  A bag of Somali puke pus, as described by Dr. Savage Weiner, tried to blow up Portland's Christmas tree lighting ceremony and he, Herr Weiner, successfully blamed the whole thing on liberals on the west coast.  The logic was flawless and of course. I hate liberals more than ever.  Why do liberals support radical Somali Muslims?  But really, the real issue keeping the airways jumping is the talk of letting the current tax rate rise up to the same level under Clinton, aka the Bush tax cuts.

How can anybody disagree with Hannity when he asks the caller "Do you want the government to raise your taxes", everyone says no.  The new direction of Sean's show should be where does the country go next or how I think it should be called Cut the Beef.  He is no different than every other conservative guy or gal; they all have the same play book, please do not raise the taxes of small business people, they are our job creators.  I am not sure what happens to the economy if the government does extend the tax cuts, will small business people start creating jobs, jobs that they haven't created in the last twelve months.  I have read that the population of those people making over 250,000 dollars a year and are small business owners is anywhere from 3 percent to 50 percent, most likely somewhere closer to the former.  Hannity tends to glorify these people but none of us know of any teachers, fireman or policeman who make over 250,000 dollars a year.

So, no new tax hikes happen, therefore we are in the same boat we are currently in, we have the same income generation, OK, something must be cut.  We could start cutting teachers, education is a large part of federal and state budgets.  We could cut the military but during a time of war?  Social Security? bloated buracracies like the Center for Disease Control,  What do we cut?  I wish the conservative think tanks would start supplying the radio hosts with these ideas and they could dedicate the next month to less liberal wining and Obama Overthrow and start talking about some real issues.

Forbes magazine had an article on the top five CEOs  with the worst performance over the last six years but were paid ridiculous sums of money.  The winner was the CEO of Capital One with an annual salary of 66 million dollars a year and an average profit loss of 6 percent per year over the past six years.  For some reason I did not feel bad about seeing this guy's taxes go up but as Sean says, I am a socialist liberal who wants to see a redistribution of wealth.
