Donald Trump created this mess and the Republicans in Congress are playing his game…

If the government shuts down today the Democrats will be blamed, there is no doubt about it. A new poll out this morning shows the Democrats winning the blame between D, R and DJT I don’t see any advantage to voting no on continued funding.

The mess will still be there after today and the Republicans will still own it. The fight for CHIP and DACA can continue for another day.

this is going to be short...

i've been reading about the reinsurance tax, the one that is $63 this year, and goes down each consecutive year... i think $45 next year and $23 in 2015... the unions are against their members paying this. Obama is considering giving them an exemption.

does anyone know who will be paying this tax? we have just gone through our benefit sign-up for next year. nothing was mentioned of this tax. is this something that we will be taxed on monthly on our paycheck? or, since we are a self-insured company, with close to 2000 employees, are we exempt?

i talked to our HR dept and they don't know what i'm talking about. HELP

I was going to write teabagger, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. She's a really nice person. We have become friends on a local blog site, through some charity work. The administrator is Republican/Tea Party and mostly Tea party types on there, with a few liberals scattered around.

Anyway, I've been trying to figure out what they are all about. Her big thing is that we need a smaller government. I counter with the fact that our government is just people. People with jobs... people that would be unemployed if we had a smaller government.

I don't think she, or any of the others on there are convinced that the government is just made up of all of us. It is an evil thing that lurks around every corner. Her biggest thing she wants accomplished is...

So, I'm in this discussion with some folks about Rand Paul, talking about Obama trying to overreach with his 23 executive orders, and the one in particular I believe is Number 16, "Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes."
And they send this section of the ACA, which I have posted below...

Apparently this was taken from an article in Forbes Magazine.

It seems pretty clear, but then again I'm not at all familiar, so anyone care to enlighten me. I doubt that Obama and his staff would overlook this.

So... Mr. Schnatter announces that, because of Obamacare and the increase in costs to his business, he will cut employee hours so that they fall under 30 hours per week. That is the number whereby he is no longer liable to provide health insurance to his employees. Obviously he has not provided health insurance to these folks before now, so they really are losing anything, other than a few hours of work/pay.

Earlier this year Mr. Schnatter announced that he would have to raise prices per pizza to 11-14 cents each in order to pay for Obamacare for his employees. Did he actually do this? And now he's cutting hours? Or was that just all bluster? I don't know.

My question now is, What happens to these folks that have shortened hours? Will they still qualify for Obamacare and will they have to pay the premium on their own?

For the Republican Party to put up a "dreamteam" like this boggles the mind. A party that has traditionally been very concerned about foreign policy, and traditionally beat the Democrats with hammering home the meme that Democrats are weak in this area.

But on Sunday, Romney’s campaign team suggested they were not worried at all about how they match up on foreign policy. Eric Fehrnstrom, a senior Romney adviser, added on CBS’s “Face the Nation" that Ryan’s position as House Budget Committee chairman has given him intimate knowledge of defense spending and initiatives.

Reports of new voter i.d. laws and the negative impact to Obama's election-nite tally should have us all a bit concerned. Many of the folks that voted for Obama in 2008 will not be able to vote for him this time around. I mention this to conservative friends of mine and they're like

"it's 2012... who doesn't have an i.d. in this day and age?"

It is hard to believe really. I've read a lot about who these people are, and I try to explain. The fact is though, that these laws are in effect and there will be an impact. Republicans, where they can, have changed the requirements for voting.
We shouldn't take this sitting down.

Hey fellow kossacks, especially those in DC area who know the ropes... I just secured a room for the 19th and 20th... after trying for a couple days. I just felt the desire to be there when Barack takes the oath. Granted, I'd probably see more at home on TV, but I'm looking forward to the adventure.

I'm writing this to call attention to a new documentary film, Meeting Resistance, that is in the final phase of editing, by first-time directors Molly Bingham and Steve Connors. You may recall hearing about Molly Bingham, the photojournalist, when she was captured by Saddam's forces and held captive in Abu Graib prison for 8 days, around March of 2003.
I've just finished reading this story in our local alternative weekly, The Louisville Eccentric Observer, about Molly's upcoming exhibit of photographs from Iraq which will be shown at Actors Theatre Gallery Jan 15 - Feb 4.
The filmmakers have their own website, www.meetingresistance.com and I urge you all to check this out. The article goes on to say that the couple are hoping to have a world premiere at a film festival sometime this year. Check out the website and you can maybe read the LEO article, it's titled Documenting Iraq by Elizabeth Kramer at http://www.leoweekly.com
cheers.
