My Wife's ACA price tag...could cripple my family.

So my wife just signed up for the ACA (#Obamacare); she is now once again covered. However, we will never be able to afford for her to go see a doctor, for any kind of check-up, breast screening, pap smear, headache, hangnail, etc.   The deductible is $6,000.00. The average cost of just going in because of the flu, will keep us in the poor house,just trying to paying off this amount (Unless  the #TrickleDown will finally start to work after 40 yrs). God help us, if she were to get sick only once year...and thats 'sick' to say or have to admit.

The ACA, is NOT the way for America. We need a single payer system; for ALL AMERICANS.

All this Heritage Foundation Plan has done, is to drive more money into a Private 'FOR PROFIT' market. Shareholders are loving the 6,000,000 people who have signed up so far. Their #QuarterlyEarnings statement will be such a sweet surprise (*cough*cough*surprise*cough).

We must push for this system to change. We must elect candidates who will lead the charge on #REALProgressiveIssues. If they bed with the wolf, they must go. If they act anything like Kevin Spacey's character, in the House of Cards, or hint that they do, they must be voted out.

This "MASS" idea that #Privatization is the only MORAL and ETHICAL way for American Citizens, (makes me throw up in the back of my mouth; the fact that we, well some of us, still fall for that idea...pft, #PROPAGANDA. To be fair, I used to puke all the time when arguing against Trickle Down; well that fact that people believe that crap). Time and time again, we have seen the idea that bigger means be and that less means more. When Cable Companies merge, they justify that merger by the fact it will drive down costs. Yet the costs continues to rise and rise. Here is the same thing with this #AffordableCareAct.

I have argued over and over, that we allowed ourselves and our progressive values to be sold out. For some of us, on the LEFT, believe that "something is better then nothing." But that too, is just pure propaganda. Its meant to deflate our #Activism. Its what continues to propel this Country further to the Right, inch by inch. We shouldnt accept a middle grounds, a compromise, on something that we KNOW, WE KNOW, is vital to the Greater Good and the Economy (well at least our bank accounts). The less Americans have to fear sickness, illness, disease and the common cold, the more productive they will be. The more money they will save, and the more money they will have to buy imported technologies that were subsidized by their tax money in the first place.

MEDICINE, and the INSURANCE that one has to have in order to procure the it, should NOT be FOR PROFIT.

PROFIT creates GREED and REAL DEPENDENCY. No Corporation is going to just give away the cure for Cancer, when it drives their profits. For what For Profit Company would look forward to closing its doors; what CEO looks forward to LESS bonuses; what Shareholder wants zero return on their investment?

Its time we fight back. Its time we make this Country, truly worthy, of the title "The Greatest Nation on Earth." For we dont deserve that title, but we do deserve "The Greatest Hypocrites on Earth" award.

Its time we fight, for everything we know whats right. Accept NO COMPROMISE. DONT be BULLIED. DONT believe in their BULLSHIT. DONT accept their PROPAGANDA.

Its time to use our POWER, our REAL POWER, while we still have it. VOTE.  VOTE them ALL OUT.  Start fresh. ONE at a TIME, works, but is very slow, as the momentum of the pendulum continues towards the RIGHT. Every minute we wait, every little election we ignore, keeps that energy moving that way.

I personally want more people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, to lead our Nation. And not the WARHAWKS like Bushs or the Clintons. SO we can end our #Imperialism and focus on our own people first and foremost, and then show the world, what they can accomplish if they follow suit.

Its put up or shut time, America.

Obama sells out Public Education; Hires Ted Mitchell, founder of NewSchools Venture.

Another "I am calling ALL of US out" moment:

"Obama Picks Leader of Privatization Movement to be #2 in U.S. Department of Education."

I have to continue to call out those who hide under the veil of the Democratic Party; how is this, in any way, shape or form, whats right for our Education system?  We are going to sit quietly, and let someone who we voted for, to continue to ignore our progressive ideology? We are we going to say enough? If you are a politician who will sit quietly and allow this, you are part of the problem, you are a part of the Oligarchy...and its time you remember who elected you, and its time we remind you.

"The cost of K–12 public schooling in the United States comes to well over $500 billion per year. So, how much influence could anyone in the private sector exert by controlling just a few billion dollars of that immense sum? Decisive influence, it turns out. A few billion dollars in private foundation money, strategically invested every year for a decade, has sufficed to define the national debate on education; sustain a crusade for a set of mostly ill-conceived reforms; and determine public policy at the local, state, and national levels. In the domain of venture philanthropy—where donors decide what social transformation they want to engineer and then design and fund projects to implement their vision—investing in education yields great bang for the buck." - Joanne Barkan - Winter 2011




Maybe we should just stop feeding their purses for awhile. Im so tired of getting emails from Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats that ask for money so they can defeat this or that...and nothing happens. Are you not tired of this yourself?  No more excuses that this is because of Congress, actions like this, is because of the person who, WE, elected.

No more money to any #Democrat, #Liberal and/or #Progressive Groups looking to help any #Politician directly.

QUIT selling out #Americans for your #Corporations and your wallets. QUIT selling out our Children and their future, for your childs future.

Its time to vote all of them out. Its time we push NEW Democratic Leaders to center stage; remove those that have "LOST" their way; just like the #TeaParty did to the #GOP.

Its time we get money out of Politics and Washington once and for all; this is the only way to restore Democracy; perhaps its time for a Constitutional Amendment.

Dear Mr. Manning, an apology that you deserve.

Dear Mr. Manning,

It is I who would like to apologize to you. Im sorry. I am sorry that more people in America did not have the courage to stand with you and behind you. For these wars were created on lies only to perpetuate our War Machine and the Greed of the 1% and their Cronies. I am sorry that more of us Veterans did not find the courage to do so either. I served in combat during the Persian Gulf War. I am sorry that our politics of interference and destabilization techniques towards Middle Eastern Countries put you and your brother and sisters at harm, yet again, causing you to take this enormous risk to stand behind the the 'real' values that America likes to say she believes in; even though we are a "Do as I say, not as I do" Country.

You stood up for the real values of human life and we turned our backs on you...especially those of us on the Left. For its not so hard to understand why those on the Right fall in tow behind the Puppet Masters. But for those of us on the Left, we should all be ashamed that we did not take to the streets and scream at Washington for the actions that they are involved in, and in your defense.

My apologizes to you, and your family.  Eternally grateful to you and ashamed of what we did not do for you.

Fear becomes us; Government response is we cant keep you safe unless we take away.

Talk about a speech to insight FEAR among us. We cant PROTECT you UNLESS we STRIPE you of some of your PERSONAL FREEDOMS...

Im worried how easily we are falling for this line of BS in this country. Terrorism, Terrorists, are part of everyday life in most BIG CITIES in America. But all of a sudden we need to lose freedoms for our Government Agencies to do their jobs efficiently.

Now for those of you who will say or question that people in Big Cities, and in smaller ones and rural America too, are NOT living with Terrorism in their lives everyday...what do you think the GANGs are? They do random acts of violence, hold hostages, sell drugs, blow up cars, shoot innocent people, etc. I think this by definition is terrorism. I havent seen anything out of our Government that would justify listening in on EVERYONE in order to catch a few; or has our CIA, FBI, etc, become inferior and incompetent that they can no longer trace or track those people on known terror lists? I mean we let the 9/11 hijacker have VISA's into our country. They were on WATCH lists. We, our government ALLOWED them into our borders. They were not American citizens trying to do this. So now, all of a sudden we have to listen to everyone to follow just a few...for shame that we find this acceptable.

Rubio..oh...Rubio; How you shamed him so!

"Not tough enough on Border Security..." - states Rubio, in reply to President Obama's Immigration plan that was leaked.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/16/rubio-immigration-reform_n_2703722.html

"The bill calls for an "unspecified increase" (in my experience this usually means "oodles and oodles and oodles"; when the government says it) in the Border Patrol, allows the Department of Homeland Security to expand technological improvements (more then likely...CODE WORDS for DRONES) along the border and adds 140 new immigration judges to process the heavy flow of people who violate immigration laws.

WOW!!! Ya, thats not tough enough...President Obama forgot to put any mention of using landmines and napalm to help secure the Border; much favored by the Extreme Right...er..Rubio.

THIS NEXT PART,.... Mr. Rubio, means you can donate a TANK if you want, and they will USE IT! Hows that for not be tough?!  ----> "The draft bill proposes a new plan to allow Homeland Security to "accept donations" from citizens, businesses and local and state governments to improve ports of entry and security features along the border."

WHY NOT...DONATE, all those High Capacity Clips, you and your party loves so much to help secure America? Come on now? You all keep saying we should have a Smaller Government and that Charities can do the rest; so put your money where your mouth is...support this bill, and then give and give, till you bleed, guns and ammo, tanks and helicopters, to the Border Patrol so they can secure America.

QUOTE of the NIGHT:

"There are district attorneys and United States attorneys out there every day squeezing ordinary citizens on sometimes very thin grounds and taking them to trial in order to make an example, as they put it. I'm really concerned that 'too big to fail' has become 'too big for trial,'" Elizabeth Warren; at her first Bank Committee Hearing. - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/14/elizabeth-warren-bank-regulators_n_2688998.html

I like her spirit. I like what I see from her. I only hope she will actually to some good. I believe she will slowly get engulfed by the biogelatinous glob that controls Washington.

Her question and reasoning is simple. Her statements ring with truth. Average Joe's are made "examples of" by our Judicial System, in every State and County within our Nation, every day. how come those that broke the law are sheltered; this is almost as bad as the Catholic Church being allowed to shelter Child Abusers. How come we are not doing something about this?

Anyhow...Go Elizabeth! You truly are a small candle of hope that sits near the cup of justice.

QUOTE of the EARLY EVENING

"For example, there are other countries that are polluting in the atmosphere much greater than we are at this point -- China, India, all these countries that are still growing. They’re not going to stop doing what they’re doing." - Marc Rubio; in Response to President Obama's SOTU remark on Global Warming.

So what the hell, when in Rome right???

Absolutely Pathetic...such TRULY INSPIRING, GLOBAL LEADERSHIP.

True Leaders, good leaders, tend to inspire by "leading."  Whats the old cliche'? Lead by....lead by... Oh! Example. Thats right, one should LEAD by EXAMPLE.

I personally believe at this point, who cares if it is "Man Made" or "Natural."  Something is happening, and we better stop bickering and prepare ourselves, our Nations, and our infrastructures, to meet whatever it is to come.

To keep ignoring the "BASIC" and "SIMPLE" facts is pathetic.  What are the "simple" and "basic" facts? Here they are: 1) We are in the Hottest and Driest years recorded in History, 2) Storms are growing bigger and fiercer, 3) Summer and winter months seem to be changing.

And if we can do anyhting to stem the tide, then lets do so.  If it means, changing what we pump into the air...then why shouldnt we do that?  Even if it only helps to reduce it by 2%, lets see...insert another old cliche' here....EVERY DROP COUNTS.

Anyhow, the point of the quote is to rant about what a pathetic reason that is, and how pathetic that that kind of leadership is what is popular on the Right.  That "Holier then thou" mentality is just simple Un-American, Weak minded and arrogant. I'm sure our Forefathers are not proud of us.  We, once were the Greatest Nation on Earth, for we led by example, and other Countries looked up at us...now they mock us, point fingers and laugh.

Its time, we change.

Quote of the Night; Mark Rubio's Response to the SOTU.

"I don’t oppose your plans because I want to protect the rich. I oppose your plans because I want to protect my neighbors." --Marco Rubio's GOP response; you know his Neighbors in that Double-Wide Mansion.
