Tax payers subsidize the uninsured when they go to the emergency room.” – B. Hussein
Obama has stones of steel to make this statement and not discuss the impact that illegal immigration has on this condition. The logic that he is using is beyond unsound.
If you look at the recent demise of Saint Vincent’s Hospital in Manhattan, where real American’s have lost their jobs, because of both mismanagement and the financial damage inflicted by illegal aliens, how could one with a clear conscience say that illegal aliens do not have a major impact on the cost of the American health care system?
Illegal aliens have been literally bringing down the house on hospitals now for several years.
I have been in the Saint Vincent’s emergency room several times over the years, and over the last 10 – 15 years illegal aliens have been using the Hospital as a primary care physician.
Nurses and folks who work there have stated such whenever I discussed the topic with them.
Obama by his own logic has just confirmed what Republican’s have accused the bill of.
If in fact as he states, “tax payers subsidize the uninsured when they go to the emergency room”, then by his very logic if this is to change it implies that the bill will cover illegal aliens!
For the first time since the Great Depression, Americans took more aid from the government than they paid in taxes.

The Burden of Immigration
In 2008, 53 percent of all households headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) with one or more children under age 18 used at least one welfare program, compared to 36 percent for native households with children. Immigrant use of welfare tends to be much higher than natives for food assistance programs and Medicaid. Use of cash and housing programs tends to be very similar to natives. A large share of the welfare used by immigrants is received on behalf of their U.S.-born children. But even households with children comprised entirely of immigrants still have a welfare use rate of 47 percent.
Third world unrest coming to a neighborhood near you – check your liberal listings
It was the second episode of violence involving immigrants this year, after clashes in southern Italy in January brought about the worst racial violence in the country since World War Two and reignited a long-running debate on immigration.
Leadership and Ethics
John Thain the infamous Merrill Lynch CEO who was reviled for buying a $35,000 toilet during the peak of the financial crises is now at CIT working on turning things around.
It’s amazing to me how the leaders of these sinking ships manage to land on their feet in another leadership position.
Maybe I’m not smart enough to comprehend this but it’s really amazing how a leader for a company that is run into the ground can be selected once again to have another stab as the Chief Executive. Obviously there are some great folks who get caught up in situations that are out of their control but the CEO is not one of those people. They are the leaders that ultimately need to be held accountable. The buck has to stop somewhere.
Thain might be a financial wizard and have many other great qualities but a CEO should also have strong ethics.
One can only question the moral integrity of someone who can spend $1.2 Million to redecorate their office while 20 folks at $60k a year could be kept in work a little bit longer.
The Military should uphold the don’t ask don’t tell policy
Over the last couple of weeks I have heard about overturning the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” policy in the military. Folks that’s pretty gay.
Consider basic things in the military like barracks, bathrooms and showers. Would we now have dedicated gay sleeping quarters? And how would men be separated that are gay from other men? Do men and women share sleeping quarters, showers and other basic things that are in the military now?
Don’t ask don’t tell is a common sense policy.
It’s not saying gay men can’t be in the military it’s saying please control yourself and don’t talk about it in the military so the basic order of things doesn’t break down.
Is Marvel Comics Attacking the Tea Party Movement?
So apparently Marvel Comics, in Captain America 602, has also jumped on the attack the Tea Party Movement bandwagon.
If I put my Marvel Comic Book hat on I would have to think that Captain America from any era of the comic would definitely be a staunch supporter of the Tea Party Movement.
There is no doubt that Captain America would be against the soft tyranny that is rapidly encroaching upon the rights of the American Citizen under the Marxist regime of Obama.
FDR in 1935
“Continual dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral degradation fundamentally destructive to the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.”
