The Baucus bill “pork”

By SoundOffSister / October 13, 2009 /

Now that it’s passed out of  “Finance” (with the help of Maine’s Olympia Snowe), you will be outraged about what follows, unless, of course, you live in Nevada, New York, Michigan, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.  Several Senators have made sure that the Obamacare rules are different there. The Baucus Unaffordable Health Care Bill proposes to…

Why are we subsidizing Harry Reid’s trips home…

…or, what happened to the FAA?

Reid’s petty politics

By SoundOffSister / February 5, 2011 /

On Wednesday, the Senate voted to repeal a very unpopular section of Obamacare. That was the piece that required all businesses to submit an IRS Form 1099 disclosing any purchases they made from anyone if the total amount of purchases exceeded $600 per year. We told you a bit about this burdensome law last year,…

Link Salad — the Gaffes and Gags Edition

By Dave in EH / October 15, 2010 /

Somehow, there are days I see the administration not as a collection of evil master-minds, but the gang who couldn’t shoot straight or the extended family of Daffy Duck.

Stray cats, dogs and other sneaky things

As someone who has been following the health care bills, I read Steve’s recent post with interest.  All along in this process President Obama has pledged to the American people that if they wanted to keep their current health insurance they could, as nothing in any of the proposed bills would prohibit that, or make…

Ethics: Reid campaign handed $31,000 to granddaughter for “gifts”

By Steve McGough / March 27, 2014 /

Legal nepotism. This is another perfect story to fit in with my Symptom of the Disease series. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wanted to thank supporters during the holidays by using campaign funds to buy them gifts. Does he go off to Kohls to buy a few inexpensive fleece blankets? Nope, he asked his artist granddaughter…

From Rags to Riches, the Harry Reid Story

By Dave in EH / August 18, 2012 /

Ever wonder how the flacks and hacks make their millions while in Congress? Here’s how: “In 2004, the senator made $700,000 off a land deal that was, to say the least, unorthodox. It started in 1998 when he bought a parcel of land with attorney Jay Brown, a close friend whose name has surfaced multiple…

The death of ERISA

By SoundOffSister / August 5, 2009 / Comments Off on The death of ERISA

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is probably the best health care act ever passed by Congress, and President Obama wants to kill it. If you are employed, and your employer provides health insurance, read on, but, you will not like what you read.

Weasel!

By Jim Vicevich / January 4, 2009 /

Of all the stupid idiotic things this guy says and gets away with … this was perhaps the highlight of the Sunday Morning Talk shows and, may I say, assures me of another great year on the show. David Gregory pins Harry Reid down on his ‘o6 comment, “the war is lost.” This little weasel…

Congress is closed

My Dad always used to say that any day Congress was not in session was a good day.  But I think even he would be appalled at the following information.
