Backtalk: 11/11/2009

The unemployment numbers won't look so bad if the H1N1 thins out the herd.

"Against the will of the people, the imperial Congress voted 220-215 to advance the health-care bill....".

What people are you talking about? 80% want something done, majority in the House want something done, majority in the Senate, president ran on it, majority voted for President Obama.

On another planet because some loudmouths showed at a Tea rally?

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, well yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. I've been both. And in this world, that's the way it is.

Per most polls, yes many people agree that some sort of reform is needed. However, the majority of the citizens do not approve of the reform being proposed by Congress. And getting 1 GOP vote in the House does not truly equal bipartisanship. The GOP and moderate Democrats have put forth recommendations and are being ignored and dismissed.

Look at the most recent Rasmussen numbers and it indicates "Only 25% Strongly Support the plan while 42% are Strongly Opposed."

And a recent Washington Post/ABC poll back on October 20th indicated the majority felt there was too much Government involvement in the nation's health care system. In addition the majority did not support the proposed changes.

And according to MSNBC only half (not majority) the country approves of Obama's handling of health care.

What the heck does the Federal Government have to do with H1N1? Take care of yourself, the government surely shouldn't.
