Healthcare : A Mini-Gallery of Republican Stupidity
I was just watching Realtime with Bill Maher, and took some quite interesting screenshots, demonstrating dumb shit republicans talking out of their asses, which really isn’t anything out of the ordinary for republicans…
Be careful what you wish for, because I think the Lord would want you dead right the fuck now for denying access to healthcare to less fortunate individuals. But maybe he’s forgiving you in the hopes that you’re going smarten up.
Jokes aside, I’d rather have the government decide my fate rather than Satan’s representatives, the insurance companies.
Really, there’s actually something America can’t afford? So what’s the logic here, we can afford to make the $900 trillion mistake of invading Iraq, or $53 trillion in handouts to well-connected bankers also known as the bailout, but $1 trillion over the next 10 years is going to bankrupt us? I guess they don’t study proportions in bible schools…
This one would a actually make sense if it was held by a health insurance lobbyist. Of course, the liberty to fuck people over is something they cherish greatly. Otherwise, I don’t think people stuck paying medical expense debt have very much liberty.
Seriously, I’ve got nothing against conservatives. But being that thick-headed is very, very wrong.

Seattle’s Big Dig
So, if you’re so behind in credit card debt and still have a compulsive spending habit, don’t worry about it. Governments are apparently stuck in the same predicament.
Here in Seattle, the big fad nowadays is for politicians to come out and state that the budget has a huge deficit, and that if people don’t allow them to raise taxes they will have to cut essential services. But they’re also spending like drunken sailors on light rail, road tunnels, bridges, you name it! The Seattle P-I’s story placement today is just brilliant:
Sure, a new bridge, seawall, tunnel, etc are useful projects, but right now I’d rather have them wait the recession out instead of cutting essential services and/or raising taxes during a recession. It’s just one more way to kill what’s left of the middle class and screw the less fortunate members of society.
I came across this interesting page on TunnelFacts.com. For instance, with 4.2 billion, you could prevent any city bus service cuts for 3 years, hire all school teachers laid off in May (and many more) for 10 years, get sidewalks for every block that needs them, give 5 reusable shopping bags to each Seattleite, pay the rent for 5 years for 8000 bums in Seattle, and get a bike for each adult in Seattle! All for $4.2 billion!
Maybe I’m just very pessimistic and in 10-20 years from now when the tunnel opens there will be a few average Joes left who’ll be able to afford the gas to drive in the tunnel…
