“Have I got a deal for you!”
You can start paying for health insurance in 2010, but you can’t have it until 2014, or later.
They are taking away funding for the Medicare Advantage programs, but claim they are not taking benefits away from Medicare.
They are cutting the amount doctors get paid for Medicare patients, but claim to improve patient care.
The Brevard County School Board is considering redistricting some neighborhoods to ease overcrowding at some schools and more efficiently use other schools.
The facilities department has proposed some options that violate their criteria:
The school board should also end “soft redistricting”, where children (and any siblings not yet in school) can continue to attend the old school while their neighbors go to the new school. In many cases this results in 2 busses entering the same neighborhood to take children to two different elementary schools. If money is so tight that teachers and staff haven’t had raises in two years, then how can the board justify this waste?
Was there anyone there that is likely to be hiring soon or was it all political posturing?

What will you do when the the government wants you to pay for something you believe is evil?
So, according to the Democrats bill, it is “revenue neutral” because over 10 years in brings in enough money to cover the expenses. Of course, to make it “revenue neutral”, we have to start medicare cuts and paying more taxes and fees in 2010, but no new benefits are paid until 2014.
That makes about as much sense as renting an apartment and paying the rent starting in 2010 and not moving in until 2014. Who would do such a thing?
Of course, if this passes, there will be another crisis because we won’t have the option of prepaying for the second 10 years without major rate or tax increases.
Attorney General Eric Holder must have an agenda to put Khalid Sheik Mohammad on trial in Federal Court. Khalid Sheik Mohammad had previously asked to plead guilty in a military tribunal and asked to be executed. Why is a Federal Court trial necessary?
So, what is Eric Holder up to?
Major Hasan created “Obama’s 9/11″. How will President Obama respond?
Will he allow the Army to continue its “politically correct” policies that kept it from court martialing Major Hasan or even dismissing him from service as being unfit for service, because he was part of a protected minority (a Muslim)?
Will President Obama admit that we are really fighting Muslim terrorists?
My first thought after hearing that Army Major Malik Nidal Hasan was wounded and is still alive is that after his court martial and execution, he should be buried in a pig skin.
Burying him in a pig skin will send a message to future terrorists. (Muslims believe that being buried in a pig skin will send them straight to hell; no 72 virgins.)
David Axelrod, the Obama advisor, says the election yesterday in New York’s 23rd Congressional District was the election to look at for a referendum on President Obama’s policies, not the elections for Governor in Virginia and New Jersey.
President Obama did not campaign in New York’s 23rd Congressional District where the Democrat won.
President Obama campaigned for the Democrat candidates for Governor in Virginia and New Jersey and the Republican candidates won.
Hmmm. Is Mr. Axelrod spinning?
