So it's here. The big vote. What can you do?
Understand the key issues:
• The only way this is 'deficit neutral' or 'cuts the deficit' is by taxes and fees. This bill does NOT cut any expenses magically.... just the normal Washington answer to raise taxes. Hey, if we pay more taxes, they say the defect will be lower... wow, great plan!
• You are NOT getting anything for free. You still pay for healthcare, and add increased taxes and fees on top for many.
• Taxes and fees start right away... any possible benefits start in... drum roll.... 2014!
Are you excited to pay more for the next 4 years in some hopes that Washington will not waste that money (Just like the Social Security money paid in that Washington has misused).
Think: 10 years of taxes to get 6 years of health care. IF they don't waste the money.
• 37 States are going to fight this. Idaho is the first to make it formal in a lawsuit (Info HERE). It's also totally outside of the Constitution for the Federal government to require all citizens to purchase something to live here. That's all nice, and gives us hope... BUT, the financial key here is that this whole plan just melts down if you start having states bail on it. How can they afford this program if even ten states nullify the bill and do not pay into the Federal plan?
• What is a takeover of College Loans doing in there?
• We're no longer sleeping. We see and discuss each buyoff of a Representative. We have the audio and video of where all the bodies are buried. Unlike any other time, these facts will have a huge impact on elections. Politicians are not very web-savvy as a group... they haven't gotten messages like NY 23 or Scott Brown election.
They will.
