Of course not. And false data doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist either. Fake reports….and it goes on.

But of course you haven’t heard about those ideas have you?…..

Weeks ahead of tomorrow’s much-anticipated “bipartisan” meeting on health care, GOP members in the House of Representatives offered their ideas for health reform to President Barack Obama in a booklet presented to him during his visit to the Republican Party retreat in Baltimore, Md., on Jan. 29.

Billions and billions more down the drain.

I am not however surprised by Brown’s vote. He is not a Conservative, although his NO vote on health care was very nice……

The 62-30 vote to advance the measure to a final vote on Wednesday gives both President Barack Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats a much-needed victory.

Amazing the government taking direct aim at a whole industry, and one that is so much a part of our economy.

They will shut down the insurance companies by completely tying their hands.

Of course this is what Obama wants. He has said many times he is for the single payer system, which is just crazy……

McCain wrong on so many fronts.

In the article McCain stated – “Something had to be done because the world’s financial system was on the verge of collapse,” he said. “Any economist, liberal or conservative, would agree with that. The action they took, I don’t agree with.”
