Seven Million sign up for 'Obamacare.' Rush Limbaugh says ....

Stand back! I heard this on the Moon Bat station of my Obama issued, free talk radio.

"Yeah, seven million signed up but it's all the same person, Michelle."

"No. It really was just one person but it took them seven million times."

"No. We don't know if it was seven million people who got insurance. It could be seven million people with full shopping carts."

"No! I have the truth. It was seven million people who visited the site, created an account, filled the shopping cart but they couldn't pay at check out."

Oh the shame of it all.

It's sort of like saying, "Yeah, there are 50 million Americans over age 65 who were lifted out of poverty by the Social Security program. But, none of them work! They're ... dead beats drawing a government check. They have no incentive to greet people at Wal-Mart! They are not willing to SuperSize that McDonald's Meal on Wheels. What good is a government program if it doesn't put people to work!?"

Where was I? Where were you?

Where was I on Moral Monday?

Most likely, sitting here. Or there.

A hand full of people were standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Moral Monday is the name. Some were arrested.

Seems they invaded Gubenator Deal's office to protest his cut throat and cavalier attitude towards ... well, the rest of us.

There was plenty of room in the office.

No mental processes.

No ethic processes.

Empty minds.

Pretty much, the Governor and his staff are just water filled skin bags. With really thick skins. Thick.

The Gubernator refuses to expand Medicaid. It's too expensive. Wake up, Guber. The Feds are funding the expansion.

You're refusing a free lunch because you don't believe in free lunches. Most politicians don't believe in free lunches, dinners, or free trips to vacation La La Lands. They know about those back side paybacks. Up front, free deal. Backside, sell out the people.

Maybe Deal would take the free federal money if Obama owned a large business in Hall County.

"Obamacare will destroy the economy!"

Coughs into fist. Makes a sound like BULLSHIT!

The economy just added 238,000 new jobs. I guess those people are all working to fix a certain healthcare website.

A private survey shows U.S. businesses added the most jobs in a year in December, powered by a big gain in construction. The figures are the latest evidence that the economy gained momentum at the end of 2013.

Construction jobs? Production jobs? Yes, we have those being added to our economy despite the doomsday predictions of the far right.

Jobs for the homeless

Japan, the only country to ever endure nuclear bombings, built a few nuclear reactors. One right on the coast. On a fault line as all of Japan is an earthquake zone.

Tragic events damaged the reactor releasing a lot of radiation. Some radiation has reached the United States through ocean currents and sea life.

As Conservatives are always looking for the good news, let's spin the good news.

Jobs for the homeless!

This has been in the news before but Reuters and Yahoo news have a special report at this link.

Japan is using "people willing to accept minimum wage for one of the most undesirable jobs in the industrialized world: working on the $35 billion, taxpayer-funded effort to clean up radioactive fallout across an area of northern Japan larger than Hong Kong."

What's minimum wages for a glow in the dark job?

Hard to say exactly. "The cost of commuting, extra pay (such as working on holidays, at night, overtime, etc.) and temporary pays (bonus, tips, etc.) must be paid exclusively and cannot be used to calculate towards the minimum wage." The wage is between $8.40 to $10.90.

So, mimimum wage workers get paid for their commute, holidays, night shifts, overtime, and possibly bonuses.

Not bad for glowing in the dark.

Luckily, Japan has national healthcare available. And healthcare costs per capita are less than half of those in the USA.

"Patients are free to select physicians or facilities of their choice and cannot be denied coverage. Hospitals, by law, must be run as non-profit and be managed by physicians. For-profit corporations are not allowed to own or operate hospitals. Clinics must be owned and operated by physicians."

Wow!

We could use some alternatives to fossil fuels. Let's not build any nuclear plants on the San Adreas fault line.

We should immediately change our health care system to lower costs and put doctors back in charge.

That is the earth rattling change we need.

Confusing the Affordable Care Act with an attack on religion

I confess. No weekly confessional meeting this week. No Bingo on Wednesday night. No Sunday 'Go to Meeting Suit.'

But, if I had visited the doctor, would my Priest have been asked to approve the expenditure? If not, was the Pope evicted from the Vatican?

We must have better things to do than debate science versus faith. Like having Bill Nye the Science guy travel to Kentucky to debate creationism.

So while the bartender serves around round of mind altering depressant, let's read about how corporations have more rights if they don't make money.

So for an argument on Religous Freedom, and someday on healthcare for employees, start the journey at this link

Republican propaganda in Hall County

There's going to be a Brown Pants meeting on Monday.

Hall County's Congressman, Empty Suit, has organized a "Field Hearing" on Obamacare.

Why is it called a field hearing? Because they found the witnesses and evidence in a field of cow pies.

In a more serious tone, the Committee on Oversight and Government sponsored the event. Oh, the irony of House Republicans having a committee to oversee themselves. Do they understand there's no such legislation creating Obamacare? It's called the Affordable Care Act or ACA.

Who does monitor the 'monitors?' Who is making sure they make no mistakes.

The Republican answer to that age old question is, "We are!"

The Committee on Oversight maintains a website. Here's the page on the Gainesville/Hall County field hearing.

The link don't work. There's no way to preview witness and testimony documents or see the topics. Not even an agenda.

However, Congressman Empty Suit has bombarded me with emails. Excuse me. Propaganda.

Here's my pre-view:

I hate Obama.
I hate his wife.
I hate his kids.
I hate the color of his skin.

He was born in Kenya.
He faked a short form birth certificate.
He was appointed to office by the Liberal controlled Mainstream media conspiracy to convert 'America' to a Marxist Minority Majority.

Yawn.

Where's my oversight committee? It's ME!

BTW, Empty Suit is a 'native born' name given to the 9th District Congressman. Dumb Ass was taken.

Finding the uninsured

Like we couldn't guess. Right to Work States. Republican dominated states. Former Confederate States. I could go on and on and on with descriptive terms. I don't want to do that anymore.

Problems signing up for ACA, the Affordable Care Act.

Forbes and other high profile outlets are covering the start up problems with the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplaces.

Well, those websites don't work is the news coverage.

Who built the websites?

It seems that Obama and his daughter designed the websites using an 8 bit Atari computer. They found the computer in an old closet used by George W. Bush. They expected to find a Playstation 3 from Bush's term as the 43rd President of the United States. I guess Rumsfeld or Cheney took that home. Seriously, Obama didn't let his kids work on the website. Michelle did and its all her fault.

With Obama being President, it's his fault if the website doesn't work because Obama can't do anything right. Or correctly.

But, the website has been developed and run by CGI Federal. A private company. One of more than 200 companies involved with federal IT issues and development. I don't expect to read an article in Forbes or any other news outlet blaming private contractors. It's always the government fault.

If we are assessing blame, why not blame the government for hiring a crappy private company? That would be more fair than assigning personal blame to Obama. And, Yes! Each time it is called Obamacare instead of ACA it is by default Obama's.

I'm not going to talk about the Affordable Care Act by calling it Obamacare anymore. It's not his. Not anymore.

It's ours. Too bad the Republican Party had to shut down our government to prove it.
