"Well then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a cog in something turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
We are stardust, we are golden
We are 2 billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden"

TIME FOR A "TRILLION MAN & WOMAN MARCH":

NO PUBLIC OPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Calypso Jones]

We're going. Went to the one on April 15, September March and now this one. 6 of us.

[cindi]

The SEPTA PIG strike will make it difficult for me to get there....without shooting someone~ Make it big folks....GOD speed.

[Managed hosting]

I was just surfing and found your blog. It really impressed me and I have bookmarked it. Keep posting as I am gonna come everyday for reading.

[templar knight]

I really need to be there, Dan, and thanks for the invite, but deer season is about to open, and I haven't prepared all my feeding plots. Dang rain has ruined preparation, but a week of dry weather has improved my prospects, and my mood. Give 'em hell!

[mark l.]

huge mamas and poppas fan...

still in some denial about john and mckenzie, but some irony in the fact that the song was written about sf, by an alleged pedophile.

[Mike2Cents]

From the reports of the turnout for this latest Fox News event, seems Lady McBachmann didn't prepare her feeding plots either.
And you'd think folks in their 60's might not really be so much against govt. provided health care.

But they do have Papa Jon Voight standing in for John Phillips...

[North Dallas Thirty]

Awww, Mike2Cents must be upset about the press daring to air this latest analysis of ObamaCare.

"The CBO reports that, in their true first 10 years, the House bill would cost $1.8 trillion, and the Senate bill would cost $1.7 trillion. Pelosi would raise Americans' taxes by $1.1 trillion over that period, while Reid would hike them by $1 trillion.

And the House bill would siphon about $800 billion from Medicare to spend it elsewhere, while the Senate bill would suck out about $900 billion.

So the financial bottom lines are almost the same.

And if we discount the bills' claims to divert hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare (which is already on the edge of insolvency), the CBO says the House bill would raise our national debt by about $650 billion in its real first decade, while the Senate bill would up it by $740 billion."

So let's see; with roughly 300 million people in the United States, that is a tax increase of $6,000 PER INDIVIDUAL.

Or, put differently, families with two kids get an additional $24k in their tax bill IN ADDITION to what they are already paying for health insurance -- just so Barack Obama and the rest of his welfare party who dodge their own taxes can get free health care at the expense of others.

The hilarious part is that the Obamabots here whine that we're already paying for the health care of the uninsured. In that case, since they're already getting their health care, why on earth would we want to INCREASE our bill by $6k apiece?

[WAHOO WILLIE]

@ Templar "but deer season is about to open.." Texas has three major state holidays. Alamo Day, 1st day deer season, and let's not forget opening day of football season. Here in NC we've been at it since mid sept and I've been twice. I'll catch up next week.......

@mark l. Did you like the blurb from Crosby, Stills and Nash? LOL who'da thunk conservatives would be using last centuries protest songs against the people who used 'em first.......

[North Dallas Thirty]

And just to clarify.. that $6k per individual is equivalent to the $1.8 trillion cost of the bill....because the lying Pelosi and Reid are trying to argue that they're only going to have to increase taxes $1.1 trillion because they can cut the remaining cost out of Medicare.

As in, they're going to try to steal the money that people have already paid into the system their entire working lives and kill off the elderly.

[Mike2Cents]

ND - you've outdone yourself here.
I won't even try to help you understand reality...you need to go find 6k.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling....

[mark l.]

20 trillion, total national debt, by the end of obama's second term.
mission accomplished?

"The sky is falling, the sky is falling...."
if the topic was global warming-where would you put libs on the scale?

This is what I absolutely love about libs.
They can see the 'end of mankind' in a 100 years, with minimal evidence and understanding, from global warming, but they refuse to look at the spending decisions that have already been made, and are quite easily projected for an economic apocalypse within the next thrirty years.

"Did you like the blurb from Crosby, Stills and Nash?"
nope. if you got a link...unless you re(e)fer to the peaceplanner's above ditty.

csn...forgetting their politics, was one of the groups that I spent some of my 'formative' years, listening to on shrooms(sorry no acid) and weed. It was golden.

[Mike2Cents]

And should this be what I love about conservatives/right wingers, mark?
That they extrapolate so confidently from one position/comment all the positions of 'libs'?
Didn't realize we were talking about global warming here...or was it gay marriage...or the spotted owl?
But how can one not love the sudden concern for the national debt.

Also, I'd suggest "The In Crowd as the more fitting Mamas&Papas song for today's
tea party sing-a-long...

[WAHOO WILLIE]

@markl...I was referring to Ran's entry above re CSN....

Well then can I walk beside you
I have come to lose the smog
And I feel like I'm a cog in something turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
We are stardust, we are golden
We are 2 billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden"

[WAHOO WILLIE]

"But how can one not love the sudden concern for the national debt."

I think the real question should be from whence comes the sudden lack of concern for the debt? Course, we all already know the answer.....

[mark l.]

"That they extrapolate so confidently from one position/comment all the positions of 'libs'?"

have you read any of "bob" by any chance?

in the example of pot meets kettle:

"But how can one not love the sudden concern for the national debt."

you are inferring my "sudden" concern. Please explore the internet, and find ONE case where I advoocated debt.
I was, I am, and always will be a fiscal conservative.

bush was not. obama is three times worse than bush.

[templar knight]

Mike, who is not worth 2 cents, by the way, says we here at Dan's blog weren't concerned about the national debt under Bush. Just how the hell would you know? I know for sure I was.

And speaking of concern for the debt, you liberals claimed to be concerned about a $400 billion deficit under Bush, but have no problem with a $1.2 trillion deficit under Obama. You're a hypocrite, Mike, boy. But we've known that since you showed your sorry ass here.

[templar knight]

Wahoo, I try to go green, and these liberal asshats are never satisfied. I'll bet you a $1000 I've done more for this earth getting ready for deer and duck season over the past few years than any of these liberal shitheads like Mike.

For instance, a few years ago I bought 65 acres of land in south Arkansas in the Red River valley that had been used for farming, but because I wanted to use it for duck hunting, I let this land return to its natural state, which was wetland. Now the area is all natural habitat, and it has all manner of wildlife using it, including ducks, deer, squirrels, birds of prey, including several species of hawks and owls, coyotes and other predators as well, including bobcat. And we have hypocritical little liberal bastards like Mike who do nothing but run their mouths. That's why I've never, ever, met a liberal I liked. The only action they want taken is government action. Go plant some trees, Mike. Do something other than talk.

[Calypso Jones]

Mike doesn't need to spend his money on anything. All he wants to do is control the things that you want to spend your money on.

[Mike2Cents]

TK -
Man, what a potty mouth you have.
And as much as you're able to convince yourself of it, it's laughable that you'd suggest there was any significant debate or concern coming from these quarters about the debt during the Bush years.
Sure, it came up. But it took the election of Obama for you and others to truly find your rage and contempt filled voice on the issue. And that's why you are the hypocrite. You wanna believe and convince others that your opposition to Obama has to do with policies...I truly wish that was the case.
I oppose some of Obama's policies and agendas, and I supported some of Bush's. As far as who they are as people? Whatever.
I can give Mark L. the benefit of the doubt, but you're just on hate-fest...and it's led to you neglecting your feeding plots.
California Dreamin'.

[mark l.]

"both estimates show annual deficits staying above $500 billion every year until 2019, compared with a then-record $459 billion last year. The White House shows the gap averaging 5.1 percent of gross domestic product per year through 2019, compared with 3.2 percent last year."

http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE57M0WV20090825?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0

so...projecting deficits that exceed 7 of the 8 bush budgets is not worthy of mentioning?

forgive me, but if bush was projecting that when he left office, in eight years, he'd leave with a 500 billion dollar deficit, which would be the low point of his deficits, there isn't a rational human being that could defend it.

i know you have seen this graph, but it is based on the wh projections/not some 'fringe' right wing group.

http://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/24/bush-deficit-vs-obama-deficit-in-pictures/

[mark l.]

the absolute truth in this whole economic matter?

I'm not even a fiscal conservative, anymore. The lesson that I learned was during the good times of the late 90's. Examining the eurporia of having a balanced budget, I went one more layer into the onion, and saw waht our long term obligations were.

There is a bill bradley quote that haunted me...

[Budget surplus is a fiction; separate social security]

"We must correct the fiction that we have a giant surplus. We don’t. The so-called surplus really consists of the payroll taxes that American workers have paid into the Social Security trust fund since 1983 (when the system changed) and that have been building up to pay our pensions when we retire. We should take that Social Security surplus out of the budget and put it over on the side."

http://www.ontheissues.org/Bill_Bradley.htm

our long term debts are apparent and each admin makes an effort to hold onto the rope to keep us from falling further.

truth be told, I'm a fiscal anarchist.

What I once thought was a disaster, coming at the end of my life, has now become a disaster that I'll have to live with for 20-30 years.

I welcome the event. I have the means and resources to care for the people I love. People are losing faith in govt, and they haven't even had a taste of the full dose of punishment that comes with a massive debt burden. The irony of this is that the only ones with relative immunity are the well off, and everyone else suffers.

Obama? he just accelerates the ends. May he rule for two terms.

as for bush?
I think it would be safe to say that he'll be able to limbo under any bar that you set for obama, in reagrds to fiscal constraint. obama's first budget increases govt spending by 16%, something it took bush 4 years to do.

[WAHOO WILLIE]

"The irony of this is that the only ones with relative immunity are the well off, and everyone else suffers."

@mark l. Unfortunately the average (just look for names with a "d" by them) voter NEVER understands this simple fact and why it is so bloody easy for filthy rich leftists to scream "tax dem eveeel rich". They know they are safe in their ivory towers while the lower middle class suffers and they push the poor even deeper into poverty. The left doesn't care thinking if they can make that check big enough the poor will shut up and do as they are told. I like that term "fiscal anarchist" the possibilities are endless!
