Affordable Boat Act

[AirTool]

And spending should be capped by one or more economic indicators....at a very small number.

535 full time law makers plus staff...is TOO many. 537 if you include the two in the White House.

I agree that fed gov't should not be able to run a deficit. Should have to build up cash reserve for bad times, just like the rest of us. Pretty sick that fed is a big ponzi scheme.

I've read it is a 10 year plan for single payer.

Obama's brilliant idea with the fouled up website will get us there in six months. It's all a front.

My prediction is next year when people don't have insurance (like me, because Texas is "out" and the feds are behind) Obama is going to write an Executive Order ...........

The wheels are in motion...set some precedence to back up the campaign promise.

Then.....whamee !!

My predictions are rarely far off.

Government is getting to do what they want to freely these days and it's clearly evident. There needs to be some type of system of public checks and balances. I bet if everyone was fully aware of what this bill entailed everyone would have voted against it hands down. It really doesn't even make it affordable for people who cant afford it but it panelizes them. So it's affordable, but we're making you sing up. How does that work? Free will is being taken away in the form of penalization fees? How does that work? that's like saying you can buy gas at this store if you want but if you don't buy gas here it you have to pay a dollar more a gallon at this store. Government has too much ability to regulate private enterprise and it isn't in the interests of the people as it sits now. It's all in the interests of what they think will keep them in power. So if someone doesn't get in trouble for completely blundering something why would they not do it again??

My problem with entitlement programs is that the government is the worst offender of all. They are "entitled" to spend our money, issue executive orders to change laws to benefit their politics, and "entitled" to not balance their own check books and keep themselves in order. When the IRS comes knocking on my door, I am going to tell them I used government accountants so that is why I can continue to spend money I don't have. Wonder how tolerant they will be of me. Vote these clowns out, put term limits on every public office, and hold them to the same real-life responsibilities that the rest of us are held to. Or, none of sign up for insurance (we ride often, work hard, and likely are in better health than the average man/woman our age) and only do so if we get sick. Bankrupt the system by starving it of our $$$.

So my footing buddy just went through the affordable care act stuff yesterday on the phone. He currently pays around 116 bucks a month for is insurance. After this next year is finished his premium for less coverage than he has now will increase to about 378 bucks a month. Explain how that is affordable. He was pretty steamed when he called me yesterday evening.

forgive me if i have these entitlements mixed up but; when social security was enacted it didn't kick in until 2 years after the average lifespan of a human was already reached. so basically most people died before recouping any benefits

the other part of that is the baby boomer generation. when it was started you had more people paying into the system than taking out. Now that generation is the one taking out. Pyramid scheme, pure and simple.

Here's a great response from Alicia Cohn (Heritage Foundation). Top 10 reasons why I didn't sign up (letterman style):

10. There was no app for that
9. Still waiting on my free Obamaphone
8. Link was from a Nigerian prince
7. Got suspicious when it asked for payment in doubloons
6. They used Comic Sans
5. Couldn’t remember my underwear size when they asked
4. No cats
3. Website made by Canadians
2. Panda Cam came back online
1. Obama didn’t

Soon we are going to need the "Affordable Government Act"

Start by firing all 535 full time lawmakers and their staff.

Its 537 if you count the VP and the guy the signs the laws.

Maybe there is more....can't remember if DC gets representation for their taxation.

The goal is to figure out how to get your own government entitlement.... Right!?!? .....

This is becoming true around the world. I saw on Fox News one time that they did a study and figured out a poor family of 4.3 people could milk the government for 110K per year. Man, I know some hard working people that aren't earning close to that.

For 110K per year from the government, I could spend a lot of time on the Guadalupe.

Switching gears....what comes next? A revolution?....or becoming Chinese.

The Chinese solution appears to me to be coming faster. What might happen, is we have a continental split with conservatives in the south and middle surrounded by Chinese on either cost (Poor Floridians).

I need to stop....I'm starting to get irritated.

And yes...I'm traveling. Y'all know how I get when I've been away from my 206 too long.

However it goes down it will NOT be to the advantage if anyone who reads this forum. A delay is not enough - we need to wipe it out. But that's the problem with entitlements.

Airtool - no use complaining. You have other people's health insurance to pay for so get back to work! Seriously, I feel for you on losing it at 45. I think we all see very clearly why all of this was not tried prior to the last presidential election. What a joke we have in Washington. Meanwhile, their keep real busy on renaming the Redskins....

I quit watching and reading the news about a year ago. It really lowered my stress level. I highly recommend it to anyone. #HeadInSand
