Stats from DC

-Unemployment filings only 348,000 last week, a min. of only 13M are still looking.
Thats horrible. Until housing industries stabilizes, maybe 7- 8 years from now will the economy return to <2006 levels. Sales of I-phone, etc small ticket items
ain't gonna do it.
-pp to get another mini victory: 1. extend payrole tax reduction to years end. Really it is nothing short of shooting oneself in the foot for short term benefit. John Kerry did that but he got a purple heart, three total. He is a rich jerk. The 2% cut in employee side of SS tax, only digs a deeper hole for the SS, Medicare amd Medicad.
2 reduces time for people on unemployment from 93 weeks to 73. Was to be cut to 63weeks. Folks thats 7.75 years to just 6 years. Who wants to work if you get free money, at taxpayer expense. Wins the black vote by 117%. Still counting dead ones in Chicago. Huh!!! 3. the only thing that needs to be approved is the doc fix.

- Two hypothetical cases:
Case I -The HSS Director Frau Fury, supporting pp remedy to avoid breaching the US Constitution: freedom of religion clause, is commanding the pharmacutical houses to supply free birth control drugs and appliances (abortion will come later,I suppose)to those organizations and institutions that do not support such mandates. Will not the question become "why them and not all (women) should get the same free stuff? Who is going to pay for this stuff in any cae...the taxpayer, if you agree or not.

Case II -Will the WH come up with a similar remedy when they hit the stonewall...you gotta get all the young folks onboard the O'HealthCare boat, otherwise the ship sinks into a blue hole. On a late Friday afternoon near election day pp will address the media with this remedy: For all you young folks out there who wants to sink my ship, I got a deal for you! Free O'HealthCare for all young folks who just can not afford to participate because of health, family, continuous schooling and other conditions, or are in rehab, O'HealthCare will be free until you can pay for the health service or 99 years therafter which ever comes first. The 1% taxpayers will pick up the tab.
Comment: The Extend Long Care portion of the O'HealthCare Law as passed, was later recinded by HSS because only sick people signed up. Who would of thought that?

-The Supremes have to fine this Affortable HealthCare Law aka O'HealthCare Unconstitution. Next time focus on the problem, the 30M who did not have any healthcare insurance, not the whole country, Mr. President.
