Oh please... Obama and the democraps have set a new record for irresponsible, wasteful deficit spending. Yet again you prove your spectacular ignorance and bias. What a good libtard you are, littledaviedumbass
Consider what it would be like to have a health insurance plan that capped annual benefits at $2,000. For any medical care costing more than that, you would have to pay out of pocket. Examples of care that costs more than $2,000 â and often a lot more â include virtually any cancer treatment, any heart surgery, a yearâs worth of diabetes treatment and care for many broken bones. Even a single M.R.I. exam can cost more than $2,000. A typical hospital stay runs thousands of dollars more. So does this insurance plan sound like part of the solution for the countryâs health care system â or part of the problem? A $2,000 plan happens to be one of the main plans that McDonaldâs offers its employees. McDonaldâs offers its hourly workers two different health care plans, which are known as âmini-medâ plans. In one, workers can pay about $730 a year for benefits of up to $2,000. In the other, they can pay about $1,660 a year for benefits of up to $10,000, The Journal reported. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/06/business/economy/06leonhardt.html?_r=1&hp
That's a joke of a medical plan. If that offering is what the OP is so scared Mcdonald's will have to drop, let 'em drop it. It's a ripoff anyway.
After 230 years of budgets and spending, the "debt per citizen" HAS INCREASED 40% IN < 2 YEARS UNDER ODUMBA. He has done SOOOO much damage, we many never get out from under it.
But self-described "extreme fiscal conservative" littledaviedumbass is fine with it. BTW those "long term projections" that he dismisses are from Obama's budget. So far, so good on the Democrats' budget. The short term projections are for a reduced deficit and I don't put much stock in long term projections. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2972985#post2972985
Uhh, no. This can best be described as "pure fantasy." The 2009 budget was Bush's budget. Emergency "off-budget" expenditures for wars were not included, and Obama has merged them into the budget. The TARP bailout money has been paid back, and it appears that the government may even make a profit on it. So if you're against honest accounting, then Obama has been terrible. If you are for honest accounting, then Obama has done a decent job.
Actually the projections are from the CBO, the congressional budget office, the the CBO is legally required to reflect the assumption that current laws affecting the budget will remain unchanged. Plus they've already revised the deficit downwards for 2010. It's still too high, but that's what you get when you people to vote for unpaid-for wars and unpaid-for tax cuts. Now tell us again how you're the real fiscal conservative.
