I must say that I have no patience to read this op-ed. So all I can comment is on the title. That being: This new healthcare system will raise taxes and that if the Bush tax cut’s were to remain new revenue would be needed to be raised. That’s a large tax increase, and in effect a lose for the tea party.
I wont say it makes them loser’s, but don’t seem to be winners.

Are you sure the “Tea party” won?

The budget cuts that take place during 2011-2012 are minimal and will hardly make a dent in the deficit. The “automatic” mechanisms may tilt towards crippling national defense (though many “tea partiers” are neo-isolationists so they won’t be too upset). There’s nothing to stop the big spending Democrats from using the Treasury to fund their constituencies leading into the election, and nothing that binds anyone when the next Congress takes office in January 2013.

How about the 87% of the Jews (aka useful idiots) who voted for him? Have they fallen off O’s bandwagon? I am afraid O. can still count on them.

Liberalism…and it would appear that you are far from being sick of idiots!

According to Paul Krugman, professor of Economics and International Affairs at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, Centenary Professor at the London School of Economics, and 2008 winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics…writing an op-ed piece in this morning’s NYT:

“We currently have a deeply depressed economy. We will almost certainly continue to have a depressed economy all through next year. And we will probably have a depressed economy through 2013 as well, if not beyond.

“The worst thing you can do in these circumstances is slash government spending, since that will depress the economy even further. Pay no attention to those who invoke the confidence fairy, claiming that tough action on the budget will reassure businesses and consumers, leading them to spend more. It doesn’t work that way, a fact confirmed by many studies of the historical record.

“Indeed, slashing spending while the economy is depressed won’t even help the budget situation much, and might well make it worse. On one side, interest rates on federal borrowing are currently very low, so spending cuts now will do little to reduce future interest costs. On the other side, making the economy weaker now will also hurt its long-run prospects, which will in turn reduce future revenue.

“So those demanding spending cuts now are like medieval doctors who treated the sick by bleeding them, and thereby made them even sicker.”

I would like to know why YWN has to publicize this Marxist-Leninist manifesto which is full of liberal lies?

The country and the politicians have fallen of the “Obama” band wagon big time. They are not charmed by his rhetoric and they are not fooled by his inconceivable plans. Obamacare is a farce too big for anyone to decipher and no one really knows where the next punch in the stomach is going to come from.

His plan to cut medicare is a huge blow to all americans. That is the “biggest chutzpah” any president can have. That is saying to all Americans “we in government are going to continue to take your money in taxes and social security but when you reach the age of retirement we are going to turn our backs on you because “OLD” people don’t count”.

For shame. Older Americans worked and contributed for the right to enjoy and count on their social security payments which was supposed to go up according to the cost of living and not decrease.

I read one paragraph and I see this guy is a full of himself liberal. The FACTS are that the Bush Tax Rates did spur growth. He is in denial by not admitting that the unemployment rate was mostly in the mid to upper FOUR percent when W was president. Dont get me wrong, there were Bush things that aggravated my fellow Conservatives to no end, the main thing being that he was one of those “get along” people so he didnt fight on things such as spending, which he should have.

The writer has fallen hook, line, and sinker for the Obama Doctrine, aka its Bush’s fault. So I ask, WHEN DOES IT BECOMES OBAMA’S FAULT especially since he has done NOTHING to improve it?? I guess according to him, the answer would be “never.”
