Federal Employees/Congress Pass on Obamacare

From Wall Street Journal:



In a desperate scramble to pay for the soaring costs of President Obama's health care plan, the Senate Finance Committee is contemplating taxing for the first time the health insurance benefits workers get from their employers. One approach would tax the benefits only of workers earning over $100,000. An alternate proposal would tax the value of health care benefits that exceed a cap.



But the taxes wouldn't be applied equally. Union members… Continue

New words for an old song...

There's an old song with multiple versions that crowds of Brits and Yanks sang together, swaying arm in arm, in the London music halls during the Second World War. This is one of many versions:





Bless 'em all! Bless 'em all! Bless 'em all!

The long and the short and the tall!

Bless all the sergeants we have to obey,

Bless all the corp'rals who drill us all day,

'Cuz we're sayin' goodbye to them all,

As back to their barracks they crawl,

No ice cream… Continue

Krugman asks for housing bubble in '02

A pre-eminent Bush-hater was Paul Krugman; nowadays he complains Pres. Barry O'Larry is not running up enough deficits. What was he saying in August of 2002?



To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq… Continue

...and we are still listening to this guy?



To be fair, no one knows what is going on in DC. The knee jerk reaction is to take our money, our children's money, and our grand-children's money and pay off the banker buddies on Wall Street. Even with hyper inflation a $20 million bonus will still be a lot of…

Republicans Got an Earful at Radisson Hotel Monday Night

Jack Hoogendyk called me Monday afternoon and asked me if I would like to attend an event at the Radisson Hotel that the Republican Party was sponsoring. He thought it would be a good opportunity for me to "mingle" with some of the State Congressmen and Republican Party leaders and give them a some of my ideas on how they might better represent the voters in the area.



Of course I jumped at the opportunity, and for the better part of 2 hours - in my usual calm and relaxed manner - I… Continue

Mr. Gene Clem

4162 N 2nd St

Kalamazoo, MI 49009





Dear Gene,



As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, I have been very involved in the work to reform our health care system. I firmly believe that health care is a right, not a privilege in this great country. In Michigan especially, the need for quality, affordable health care has never been greater.



Unfortunately, not everyone agrees. Lobbyists for the insurance… Continue
