Reconciliation bill passes Senate

On March 25, 2010, In If Bush Had Done That, By Shon Jimenez

The Senate has passed a package of fixes to the health reform bill, signed by President Barack Obama, by a vote of 56 to 43. The reconciliation bill now goes back to the House for a second vote after Senate Republicans succeeded in making minor changes to the bill. The House plans to vote later Thursday – finally capping a year-long effort to remake the American health care system.

But the work isn’t done quite yet.

The bill passed 56 to 43, with Vice President Joe Biden presiding over the chamber. Senate Republicans forced a pair of changes to the reconciliation bill overnight, sending it back to the House for a final vote later Thursday.

Democrats believe the minor changes – to language regarding Pell Grants for low-income students – won’t derail House passage, meaning that Democrats are set to finally conclude the legislative struggle needed to make health reform a reality.

The House has approved the Senate version of the health-care bill in 219 to 210 vote. This bill now goes to President Obama for his signature. The House will now vote on the reconciliation bill, which will probably no changes to it. We will forever pay for this bill and our taxes will go sky high. Thanks to all the idiots who voted in this jer, Obama and his gang. When Obama was sworn in he should have just sworn to tear this country apart.

You wanted a socialized country, well now you have it. We are no the United Socialist of America.

I Feel Sorry For Scott Brown

It was bad enough that President Barack Obama lost his filibuster-proof margin in the U.S. Senate to a Republican. Now it turns out he also lost it to a relative. It was bad enough that President Barack Obama lost his filibuster-proof margin in the U.S. Senate to a Republican. Now it turns out he also lost it to a relative. Genealogists said Friday that the Democratic president and the newly elected senator from Massachusetts, Scott Brown, are 10th cousins.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society said Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and Brown’s mother, Judith Ann Rugg, both descend from Richard Singletary of Haverhill, Mass. He died in 1687 at the unheard-of, for the time, age of 102.

“I think it’s a really interesting thing, where you have the separation between a Democrat and a Republican, but you have one link,” said David Allen Lambert, the society genealogist who co-discovered the connection with colleague Chris Child.

If this is true, which it seems to be, what happened to Obama? Why couldn’t he turn out like Scott Brown? I guess apples do fall far from the tree, in some cases.

Dems Might Push Through Healthcare

On March 10, 2010, In If Bush Had Done That, By Shon Jimenez

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States Hou...

Did you know Pelosi Suggested Maneuver to Pass Health Care Overhaul?”  These people, folks, do not trust them, and do not believe anything about this being dead.  They are still scheming behind the scenes.  “The speaker says the House should pass the Senate’s version of the plan and then use ‘budget reconciliation’ to make changes that some lawmakers want. The procedure could circumvent a GOP filibuster.  Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday the House should pass the Senate’s version and then use a process known as ‘budget reconciliation,’” and make it worse down the road, like adding $300 billion to the price tag.  Because that’s what they’re going to do, the Democrats have demanded elimination of a new tax on high-end Cadillac insurance plans. 

They want more subsidies to help low and moderate income Americans buy health coverage, and altogether these changes could increase the cost of the health care overhaul by $300 billion over the next ten years — another lie — bringing it to a total of $1.2 trillion, according to a Senate Democratic aide.  It would actually be $2.8 trillion if you factor this without any accounting gimmicks.  So, folks, I’m telling you, they’re working on this behind closed doors in the House, they’re trying to scheme. I guarantee you this is what happens in Cuba, this is what happens in Venezuela, this is what dictators do.  And he told us last night, “I’m not a quitter, I’m not quitting.”  He’s going to do whatever he can to get this stuff done, to hell with what we think, or want.
