If this health care reform passes, 10% will look like a great number. Obama, Pelosi, Inc. are destroying this country.

The only way to cut costs in health care is to eliminate health care jobs. That could be done by direct layoffs and cutting health services or by outsourcing American medical jobs to foreign countries. obama's unemployment rate will likely reach 20% and it will stay there permanently. India has already offered to provide swine flu vaccine for 25% less than current prices. Mexico could easily do all American lab work. China could manufacture all medical equipment(all they need is patent rights and manufacturing specifications). It would be cheaper to transport US patients to Honduras for treatment than to treat them here. obama's health care plan will cost trillions. That's money the US doesn't have. Cost cutting and job losses are the future.

The bad unemployment is very bad news too every American who loves his country but it is not bad news whatsoever to the evil liberal communistic regime of the African son of the Islamic Luo Tribe and the communist dictator Barack Obama who has his personal agenda to be the leader of the world, include America. The first step in Obama's agenda is to weaken America and drive America to bankruptcy that will destroy the US corporations and small businesses and will bring defeat of our troops in the Middle East. The new health scare scam bill of 2000 pages of the ruthless vicious liar and America hater communist Pelosi aims at further increasing the unemployment in the private sector by the government taking control with new two trillion dollar wasted by obama and with labor union parasite hordes ruleing over the American people. The Chicago Mafia dead fish Rahm Emanuel together with the rules of the Luo tribe of the jungles of Kenya will are taking over the American people with the support of the evil liberal media of George Soros who vowed to destroy the American dollar and his Jewish Elite led NY Times, NBC, CNN, ABC and CBS.

Gay friendly Levis jeans company was the first to grant same sex benefits to employees and reveled in the news release as an example to the world. The ultimate costs of granting partners benefits and AIDS treatments eventually bankrupted Levis Corporation. They only came out of bankruptcy by moving all production to Mexico.

$15 Billion More Down the Fannie Mae Hole?

Do you remember Fannie Mae, one of several oh-so-successful government experiments in controlling an aspect of the financial industry -- in this case, home mortgages?

Well, it seems Fannie is asking Uncle Sam Bigbucks for a hand again:

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch)-- Embattled mortgage lender Fannie Mae said Thursday after posting a third-quarter net loss that it has asked the U.S. Treasury Department for an additional $15 billion in assistance by the end of the year.

Fannie Mae (FNM 1.03,-0.09,-8.05%) said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that its request for more funding was made "to eliminate our net worth deficit" as of the end of September. It's hoping to receive the funds by Dec. 31.

Has anyone kept track of how much the U.S. has already shoved into that Fannie?

Why yes:

Fannie Mae has already received some $44.9 billion in federal government assistance, under a senior preferred-stock purchase agreement.

So, let me get this straight: in order for this utter failure of a financial institution to not post a net worth deficit, our nation needs to add more to it's deficit.

Did I miss something here? Oh yes, the obligatory Bawney Fwank video:

2005: What housing bubble?

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Pisces

You're lacking in energy and resources today, which will soon slow you down and make you feel as though you're wading through treacle. The only way to cope is to have as many breaks as possible, and not to set yourself impossible goals that you could never hope to meet. You're also very susceptible to the criticisms or put-downs of others, but do your best to ignore them.
