After passing a watered down health care plan the Democrats, But only a small and shameful token of what they once were in the days of FDR, are now acting out their attraction to avarice/greed with even crimes against the elderly, the helpless and the least fortunate, and even against you Mr. and Mrs. Middle or Upper Middle Class American, yes I mean YOU!

There is right now little difference between what the unenlightened Bush Crowd did and what the Obama people are trying to do. The Military Commissions Act of 2006, that Constitution wrecking bill, still stands as a poor testament to the depths our congress fell to under Bush, was supported by many Democrats. The even more devastating Patriot Act, which destroyed nine of the ten articles of the Bill of Rights has been reenacted by Obama, Gas prices have more than doubled since December 2008 (when they stood at $1.44) when Big oil and Wall Street commodities speculators. dropped the prices and let them languor at $1.44 per gallon, frightened and not knowing what to expect, fearful of the greatest move of president Jimmy Carter, when he capped oil prices at $8-$10 a barrel and established a Windfall profits Tax upon them, which I urged, Obama to do as well.

I could go on about the wars, still raging and there are threats to other nations by the US, prices on gas, insurance, food all rising, and incomes intentionally lower, what American do not need is anyone tampering with their Social Security and Medicare, and yet that is Exactly what they are doing in Washington, and surprise it is no not the greedy Republicans, proposing it, but the Democrats. And the betrayal goes on!

That’s right, you guessed it they are lighting out after your lifeline, a drive to “reform” Social Security. They are, thanks to people like Rahm Emanuel, cutting your Medicare and Social Security benefits, instead of taking the advice of many to focus on reducing War Spending as the war and Oil debt places you - Mr. and Mrs. America, $19 Trillion in arrears, going from Bush’s blowing of Clinton’s $5.9 Trillion Surplus on No-Bid Contracts to his pals, to the sad Debt shown above.

The goal of those who want America to reduce its population long term, (The Bilderberger Plan. Did you know that Oprah has joined the Bilderberg’s?) is to undo everything FDR put into place and reduce the debt of the United States by any way they can even if it puts the lives of the elderly and the Three classes below the very wealthy, in eminent danger and under severe stress. And yet they keep on spending... and on what, on killing brown people, specifically brown Muslim People. Killing Muslims, even innocent one’s, is what is called Fundamentalist “Christianity” in Action.

According to the NYT The New York Times the impetus behind Obama’s health care bill, goes, is to reduce Medicare by$ 500 billion dollars over the next 10 years and will introduce a number of “innovative ways of delivering health care.” That comment is Orwellian to say the least. The new health care? “Health care rationing,” offering less, for higher premiums, is the basis of Obama’s health care plan. More people will be indeed covered and more Insurance Companies will profit mightily.

Dr. Donald Berwick, Obama’s new appointment in heading the push was discussed, is that he plans to, plans to cut benefits by at least ten percent this year. Dr. Berwick’s health care philosophy, is and with no bones about it, cut, cut. He loud replace many surgeries with “treatments’ instead, regardless of what the attending physician thinks. Problem is I would not count on your physician to be the beacon of truth, they on average each take $13,500 in perks from drug dealers. (the Pharmaceutical companies which these days nothing more than pervasive, toxic, addictive drugs and they have much in common with street drug dealers and ore than likely cripple and kill more of their drug users than do street dealers as well.

You can bet it is yet another trap to force inoculation, steroid injections, and dangerous drugs as “Treatments,” instead of surgical cure’s. “Treatment” is Orwellian doublespeak for Emanuelspeak meaning “let them die off," but in his usual language.

I carefully read the original plan, and for once, and just that once, Mrs. Sarah Palin was close to correct, subtle, and slow, something resembling "Here is How Much They Are Worth, So Under Treat Them Panels," are an end reality of the format in mind from Obama and Dr. Donald Berwick, but often in a slow and subtle manner. If you won’t take their offers of inoculations of possible toxic drugs, you may find coverage and doctors unwilling to extend you other options. To prove for instance that you cannot take a certain drug because of Chemical Sensitivity or allergies, you may be forced to prove it by taking the dangerous drug and dying or becoming vegetable from the forced “inoculation.” On that, again for once, the Republicans are on target, though their plan is not much of an improvement. It seems to some Americans, especially those in Congress, the Presidencies of late and those who exempt or do not offer to enlist in Military Service, love spending money aimed a killing others from foreign lands, but not so much to save their American brothers and sisters.

Thus rationing of health care and “reforming” of Social Security are the goal now of both parties. Many whose comprehension of the small print and between the lines of the “Healthcare Bill” say it is going to “rid” the nation of an additional 12%-15% of the elderly and the handicapped each year

Some are broadcasting to give Obama a thorough political beating in 2010. A beating at the polls for being traitors to FDR’s and Jesus’ view of how to treat others, may be just the thing they will never forget. That is at least my plan, and I am a fourth generation FDR progressive. I will vote straight independent in 2010, and if need be in 2012. The New York Times says, in no uncertain terms, that Obama and his medical “Hit-Man” Dr. Donald Berwick will slash Social Security benefits as well by 10%-15%.

The NYT says, “Central to the health care changes are hundreds of billions of dollars in reductions in Medicare spending over time... As some administration officials acknowledge, that effectively takes those fast-growing entitlement programs off the table for deficit reduction just as Mr. Obama’s bipartisan commission to reduce the mounting national debt gets to work.

“That leaves Social Security, the other big entitlement benefits program and one that Mr. Obama has suggested in the past that he is willing to tackle. While its looming problems are not of the scale of those afflicting Medicare, it now stands as the likeliest source of the sort of large savings needed to bring projected annual deficits to sustainable levels, many budget analysts agree.”

“...packaging future reductions in the retirement program [Social Security] that Democrats zealously defend with tax increases that Republicans typically oppose would have the makings of a grand compromise to shrink the debt.”

This will mean that the plan to gradually raise the retirement age for the not yet retired Social Security candidates is catching on. I say slash War spending instead and do as promised, bring the troops home. But Mr. Emanuel does not want them home, he owes his wealth to the wealthy and he wants the oil, the coverage for Israel, and all of the money he and his friends can bank by giving Wall Street just what it wants. He wants the Republican votes in 2012. What about you? These reductions, the NYT says, are necessary because “...the promise of future reductions would immediately reassure global markets fretful that the United States’ debt is already its highest since World War II.”

Therefore The wealthiest investors, are pressuring the U.S. to pay them back, not in inflated dollars but above the inflation in regular year 2000+ dollars. Obama’s giving the $2.3 trillion to the rich not the poor, was simply an indication of his cowardly, evil direction, Judas-like Betrayal of those who voted him into office. Obama is going to force you, the working people to pay this debt back, not the rich, or Wall Street. Obama reveals himself to be the Anti-FDR, and at the same time replacing Bush as the newest version of an Anti-Christ. It would appear to some observers that Obama and Bush are joined at the hip and head, ObamaBushites?

Keep in mind that the middle and lower classes pay 6.2% of their income for Social Security, however, the wealthy pay at the low end 5% - 00.005% depending upon how much over $107,000 they make, of from 17%-20,000% less than you pay.
The President of the AFL-CIO Richard Trumka offers a prophetic view, one of which Jesus might be proud, in saying, "The best way to fix the deficit is to create 10 million jobs now — the number of jobs needed to close our jobs deficit. This will require large amounts of public investment in the short term, which should be paid for in future years by taxing Wall Street. In addition to creating jobs for Main Street this tax will also curb short-term speculation and other Wall Street abuses that caused this recession."

My plan to pass a bill mandating R-30 Insulation in walls and R-50 in ceilings and Geothermal HVAC in new construction and remodeling and offering tax credits and other financial incentives, would create millions of Jobs, and taxing Outsourcing Union scale Plus 15% would produce large incomes, and between 7.5- to 11 million new jobs for the middle and lower classes. Energy is expended 24/7/365 in homes and businesses and only a few hours a day in auto's. We need to jump start the housing and remodeling markets and put people to work. More workers, more investments and expenditures, more tax dollars, a better economy for all.

But it will take men and women of impeccable integrity and action to take to the streets by the millions and support candidates of any party which are Progressives and no longer support Candidates who pretend at being Progress during campaigns and, like Obama and many others they lie and side-in like the unethical avaristic, cowards, they claim to despise, who are the very people which lavish lobbying cash upon them- the criminal Super Rich who are trying to destroy the Middle Classes and the poor.

It is only unaffordable when the money is for the Middle and lower classes, it is always affordable when the money is going to the already rich.

Doing so, is like shooting off their noses to spite their own faces, by diminishing their markets. Obama and his followers are among them as Super-Rich wannabe's to dynastic wealth, thus betraying the very people who voted them into office. The war has cost us $19.3 Trillion and the Health care plan $845 Billion, so end the wars and put 1/3rd of that money into Medicare and Social Security and we will save $9.4 trillion.

LETS CREATE JOBS AND INCOME, NOT BULLETS AND BOMBS!
