The Major Flaws of ObamaCare - 2nd Term Blues

The Hill: Reports on a House Congressional Reprt on ObamaCare Navigators, " ....the report said they have been giving enrollees misinformation, and have not done enough to keep secure consumers’ health information, Social Security numbers, yearly income and other tax information."

Lets Get Real:

The more we learn about ObamaCare the more the US voter should be worried, the rollout was a major disaster, the back end of the system that allows people to pay for health cover has not been built, the insurance companies have been told by the Oval to allow former patients to keep their Doctor and his or her medical scheme for them, when that is against letter of the law of ObamaCare.   The Oval with each disaster has changed the rules like some King who thinks he has the divine right to change the law, no matter about the Congress.   The point of ObamaCare is to get the young and healthy to buy health cover as this funds those older citizens and those with pre - existing conditions, it seems that this not happening.   Thus the insurance companies are going to get a bailout from the Oval.    The latest disaster is the above, even those employed to help have to be suspect given the above information.  It can be postulated that ObamaCare has done more to damage the liberal cause than anything in the last 50 years. 

NSA vs. US Courts - 2nd Term Blues

The Guardian: Reports from Washington on a Federal Court decision regarding the NSA tapping of phones, the article notes the following, " ..a federal judge ruled on Monday that its bulk collection of Americans’ telephone records is likely to violate the US constitution. ".

Lets Get Real:

The Oval should appeal this wrong headed decision all the way to the US Supreme Court, the Oval can not afford for the US Courts to decide what is in the interest of national security,  if need be the Oval should ignore the Courts, let them to enforce it, the US and UK can not have another 9/11 or 7/7 because a Judge has lost the plot.   If the Oval follows the Court decision and something happens, they Judge will hide behind abstract law, the Oval will get the rebuke, thus the Oval has to fight the Courts, and do what is in the US national security interest, the law can be a fool sometimes, as the above shows with this ruling. 

UK PM Cameron in Afghanistan - Afghanistan Theatre

BBC News: Reports on the visit to Afghanistan by UK Coalition PM David Cameron, the PM stated that the mission in Afghanistan had been accomplished.

Lets Get Real: 

If mission accomplished means getting out without winning then the UK Troops have done their job, that is not a critic of our brave soldiers, more their military and political leadership they have had since 2001.  It can be postulated that six months after the Western allies leave the Taliban will be at the door of Kabul, of course if the US leaves a small force behind they will become daily targets.    This has all the hallmarks of Vietnam in 1975,  who will be the last US person out on the last helicopter, another example of the Obama failure in leadership, and not understanding Afghan history. 

Thursday Vote for US Budget Deal - 2nd Term Blues

The Hill: Reports the following from  the Republican House, " GOP leaders expect their measure will pass, despite complaints from House Democrats that it includes a fix to prevent a cut in doctor payments but does not extend federal unemployment benefits set to expire this month. ".

Lets Get Real:

When you have divided Government you have to DEAL, you never get 100% of what you want, if you want purity in politics your in the wrong game, the US has not had a Budget for years, the CR's passed are a way for chickens in both the House and Senate to get elected.   The Republicans have made a good deal, its the fault of the Senate Democrats that there is no extension of federal unemployment benefits, they made it clear it was not a DEAL BREAKER, thus the Republicans who would never pass such a measure went along with the idea, its to late for liberal Democrats to be upset, pass the budget and lets get  on to other matters, the repeal of ObamaCare or major reform would be a good idea, and helping the millions who have lost and will lose health cover due to ObamaCare. 

The US Budget Deal and Liberals in the House

CNN - Politics: Reports on the reaction from Democrats in the House to the compromise US Budget Deal, " The chairman of the House Democratic caucus isn't sold on the bipartisan budget compromise, demanding an extension of unemployment insurance be included in the deal. ".

Lets Get Real:

Even Speaker Boehner could not get the Republican House to support an extension of unemployment benefits, it would be a DEAL breaker, A Speaker can only cross his Party so many times, he can get the compromise through, then it goes to the Senate, as the Democrats run the Senate they need ALL their members to support it, the Republican on mass will oppose, thus both leaders should get this bill through fast, do not allow the left or right to form a strong opposition, it seems the extremes on both sides will not budge, it is my way or the highway, no wonder D.C politics have broken down, leaders no longer have REAL control of the bodies they represent, sad day for US politics but more important, sad day for MAIN street US.   They are the ones that get shafted at the end of the day. 

Will the US Budget Deal Pass ? - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports the following on the compromised US Budget Deal, " Fragile US budget deal under fire from both Republicans and Democrats....Democrats seek to negotiate further deal on unemployment benefits while GOP fends off attacks from conservative groups ".

Lets Get Real:

This blog tweeted last night that it support this US Budget Deal, it does not rise taxes and protects defence, this blog is VERY conservative when it comes to fiscal matters, if this deal was a give away to the Dems this blog would oppose the deal, as the Democrats gave up asking for an extension in unemployment benefits they are also taking a hit in political terms from the left.   The House and Senate should fast track this deal before it falls apart, the left are up in arms, and the right wants more welfare cuts, that is why its a compromise deal.   As a great President once said you get the majority of what you want and come back for the rest later. 

The failure of ObamaCare in November - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports on those that have enrolled in ObamaCare in November, the article states the following, " Officials had originally projected 1.2 million would enrol nationwide by the end of November, instead of the current 365,000. ".

Lets Get Real:

The BBC is left wing, thus puts a positive spin on those that have enrolled in ObamaCare, the above is way down in the article, if this was a business it would be seen as a disaster, the costs are out of control, even those that have enrolled have been told to check to see if the insurance companies have gotten the correct information, even those in Congress have been told to double check, as between 10% to 25% of those that think they have enrolled have not, due to computer problems, also you are only covered if you have paid, thus this ObamaCare scheme is heading for disaster, its just a matter of time before Democrats bail on the Oval.
