Again, "putting it off" assumes he actually plans on fixing it. You're being very optimistic tonight WH.
I will be amazed if this isn't swept under the rug.
Putting it off so long does not inspire confidence, to put it mildly.

Muhammed Ali:Canada::Rush Limbaugh:Puerto Rico?
If damning by faint praise is too close to common understatement, I'll offer that I actually believe the fix is already in, but that for the sake of levity or conversation I may occasionally let on otherwise.
Don't toy with me, Rush. We get to solve this part of the economic puzzle and get rid of you? 216 here we come!!!
Agree with you both. I would have thought that the "greatest economic crisis since the great depression" would have merited a somewhat stronger response than just giving the banking industry a blank check with no strings attached. But apparently I am mistaken.
You naive clowns haven't realized there won't be any significant regulation of the financial sector, because the financial sector has (continued to) spend 100s of $Ms to buy off Congress.
An proposal to cap payday loan usury rates has been deleted because
1) it would hurt payday loan sharks profits (awww, snif)
and
2) the payday loan assholes say they didn't cause The Banksters Great Depression anyway

lucky basterd. Costa Rica is the bomb diggiddy
win win situation IMO
Costa Rica Offers Good-Quality Health Care
Costa Rica has universal health care, one of the best health systems in Latin America. As always with nationalized health care, expect red tape and long waits, but the quality of Costa Rica's health care is excellent. Private health care is also available, very affordable, and high quality. Many doctors speak English and have received training in Europe, Canada, or the U.S. There are three large, private hospitals that most expatriates use: CIMA hospital in Escazú, Clinica Biblica in San José, and Clinica Católica in San José-Guadalupe.
Statistics from the World Health Organization frequently place Costa Rica in the top country rankings in the world for long life expectancy, often even ahead of Great Britain and the United States, even though the per-capita income of Costa Ricans is about one-tenth that of the U.S. and the U.K. Arguably, one reason for this is the slower pace of living in Costa Rica. And, of course, the healthy, fresh, non-preservative-laden foods found there, and the welcoming tropical climate. Costa Rica just seems to be a healthy place to live.
Haha f'ing stupid Rush.
If you combine taxes, fees, etc. I would say yes. However, I could be wring as I haven't tried to quantify it. I know in my case, even though the federal taxes have lowered, combined with the city and state, I pay more of a percentage.
The federal income tax rate itself is lower. Next year, the Bush Tax cuts expire. I haven't figured out the formulations, and can only guess where the margins will break at, but it will affects me by over $150 a month at the marginal rate change. That's how much less money I will be able to contribute to the economy. I'm looking at this, and how the democrats are crafting in other things that will raise consumer prices.
I say they can go to .
If you watch cities and states, you find that they continually raise local taxes and fees. Property tax rates fluctiate as well as voters approve bondmeasures. In the end, it isn't just the federal and state taxes. When you look at all the ways local ft the federal government generates money, they take a serious part of our earnings already.
On a side note. Why should any small business look at hiring more people when they know next year they will pay more taxes?
Haha, f'ing stupid SpursTalk.com liberal posters...
I listened to Rush yesterday because he was interviewing Karl Rove on his new book; (interesting interview, by the way) Apparently, he got a big kick out of the "Rush is going to move to Costa Rica if Obamacare passes," nonsense.
First, let's look at the story Miami Heat misquoted in his thread le. (By the way, when you put something in "quotations," it should be a verbatim quote, MH. Just a tip.
Here's an addendum to that article, added after Miami Heat started the thread.
Yes, he also addressed the fact that Costa Rica has socialized medicine. Limbaugh explained there are also doctors who will take their practices international, if Obamacare passes. Costa Rica was mentioned to him as a likely place for these doctors to open shop...and, even though Costa Rica has socialized medicine, the practices could exist independent of government control -- just like the private hospital (not part of Hawaii's socialized medicine) where Limbaugh sought treatment when he suffered his cardiac event while on vacation.
Unfortunately, under Obamacare, private practices will not be allowed and, eventually -- probably sooner rather than later -- private/commercial insurance companies will be out of business because of how Obamacare is structured....hence, the reason medical professionals and those that can afford to, will be going to places like Costa Rica to provide and receive top notch medical care while the rest of us are left behind to receive rationed care (decided on by death panels) from government doctors that only dream of the kind of medical practice that will retire their medical school debts.
So your saying Rush checked the hospital's background first before deciding what emergency room should save his life? Dumbass...Yes, he also addressed the fact that Costa Rica has socialized medicine. Limbaugh explained there are also doctors who will take their practices international, if Obamacare passes. Costa Rica was mentioned to him as a likely place for these doctors to open shop...and, even though Costa Rica has socialized medicine, the practices could exist independent of government control -- just like the private hospital (not part of Hawaii's socialized medicine) where Limbaugh sought treatment when he suffered his cardiac event while on vacation.
No, I'm saying Rush Limbaugh received treatment for which he paid cash. He didn't received free "socialized" medical care and he didn't use Medicare or private insurance.
Maybe I should have just said, "Yes, he did"
Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized: Taken To Hospital In Hawaii After Suffering Chest Pains
The Queen's Medical Center
Dumbass...The Queen's Medical Center, originally called Queen's Hospital is an acute private non-profit hospital in downtown Honolulu founded in 1859 by Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV.
...did he bring his own equipment too? Geez, I know the elite aren't like you and me but...
....dumbass....It is the only level one trauma center in the state of Hawaii.
And, it's private. Imagine that! Hawaii doesn't even trust itself to run a Level I Trauma Center.
And it will stay private under a public option. Imagine that!
But, not under Obamacare...sad, isn't it?And it will stay private under a public option. Imagine that!
Damn, Yoni really doesn't know anything about the health care bill or Hawaii's health care system.
He's incredibly ignorant.
Why don't you explain it to all us uninformed people CD. I just know you
have all the information at your fingertips.....
Especially the panels that will be established to set standards and
medical practices.
