Geting work would be easier if; #1 The fucking gov would get out of the way with its fucked up laws and regulations that would allow companies to hire without worry of new regs and gov interventions #2 The gov would stop giving shit away. Hear the newest? Free Obama phones when you sign up for the ACA This is where those like Obama and Reid WANT the people to be Easier? Fucking pussies, always want everything to be easy. So tired of this entitlement generation. Wah, wah, wah my welfare doesn't cover my expenses. So work for a living, lazy bums. Maybe in stead of writing letters to editors, they should be handing out resumes. Noooo, they would rather complain about their handout not being large enough. Amen Canada, Amen.

I agree.

Word. If it bugs you, I am going to make it even worser You misunderstand, not surprisingly. It amuses me. It helps to re-enforce the stereotype that republicans are under-educated backwoods people married to cousins and sisters when the vast majority of your posts look like the above sentence. Reminds me of the graph they made after the last election ranking states by % of college graduates, and then showing which states voted for which candidate. Id give you a hint who the educated states voted for, but I am sure you already know. In all reality SC would be much less entertaining if you formed coherent arguments like BillVon or LawRocket. I say keep being you.

No....I would have just ran you over.

http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/you-know-what-this-entire-incident-has-brought-up-a-pr-1436770450 Footage of their douchebaggery from other occasions including one where they start beating on another guys car. ETA: I see someone already linked this..sadface. As a side note I had a great FB debate with a biker supporter friend of mine who thinks the dad should be murdered. We managed to distill it down to a simple problem. The dad was afraid to exit the car after the initial fender bender. Why? He didn't have a gun. A gun would enable him to face the angry mob and if needed defend himself and family before they were able to mount an attack should they prove hostile. Without the gun he had a buildup of fear in his heart, and reacted with the only tool at his disposal, before he had even been attacked. Guns keep fear from our hearts, and they allow asian dudes to face mobs of angry bikers safely while exchanging insurance information after a fender bender. So pretty much I think it must be Obamas fault.

That one made me chuckle. To our beloved OP. That link doesn't even talk about what happens if your cold-hearted SOB CEO like the Hobby Lobby guy drops all the healthcare he offered before and forces you to go shop on your own. It's talking about what happens when you lose your job entirely.... You have to at least post stuff that applies somewhat. I did like your self-fulfilling idea about if the employer changes the plans it offers, you can't keep the one you wanted, so Obama lied. That almost tracks in a crazy foil hat style way. I am on board with it! Like if my mom told me I can have any Ipad I want, then Apple stops selling the Ipad I want, my mom is a mother fucking LIAR. That is why as soon as she is old enough, shes going straight into a home. Hopefully not one ran by kiss-ass liberal democrats who will give her whatever she wants. I'll be searching for one where she has to chop her own firewood for warmth.

Which Voters? All the people that I have discussed this with, save my GF, are for it. http://www.quinnipiac.edu/institutes-and-centers/polling-institute/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=1958 "From September 23 - 29, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,497 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points. Live interviewers call land lines and cell phones. The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Virginia and the nation as a public service and for research. " "Republicans support the federal government shutdown by a narrow 49 - 44 percent margin, but opposition is 90 - 6 percent among Democrats and 74 - 19 percent among independent voters. " Even the righties are BARELY with you. just ETA: your gf sounds cool, if you ever really piss her off by making a big scene over a toasted ravioli or cheese stick you order that she eats, and she dumps you, give her my DZ.com name.

There is a reason FEMA has millions of MRE's, LEO's are getting armored up vehicles and non-enforcment government departments are getting armed up and buying ammo Sweet a foil hat thread. *Dons foil hat* how you for think that fema attack ok m&mnent ahahah sure proof it. *sets foil hat down* wow that was trippy, stepping into your world is wild. I am pretty sure that FEMA and LEO aren't stockpiling MRE's and armored vehicles because of the ACA.

*raises hand If you are 23 your parents can still cover you on their insurance. Next question please.

Strangely enough, your crazy right-wing website doesn't quite tell the entire story. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/1/piers-morgans-gig-end-cnn-actively-looking-replace/ Seems like it was already decided last year, and hes moving within CNN...

Word.

How? 30 million will still not be covered and the price for coverage , for a family of 4, instead of going down $2500 on average, is estimated to go up $7500 now Looks like this law is working huh Based on what? Rush Limbaugh - most of the people that I know pay $500 - $700 a month for a family of 4 under their employers plan, it's been that way fow a while. Can you provide a source that states it's going up $7500 a month? Those were costs per year Obama said his plan would lower family cost $2500 per year Instead, on average, costs are rising $7500 per year The following link is to veryify Obama actually said this http://www.factcheck.org/2008/06/obamas-inflated-health-savings/ This is a good Forbes article on this http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2013/09/23/its-official-obamacare-will-increase-health-spending-by-7450-for-a-typical-family-of-four/ Here is the google search I used Pick you own if you wish https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&site=&source=hp&q=obamacare+family+cost+changes&oq=obamacare+family+cost+changes&gs_l=hp.3...2656.17828.0.18007.29.21.0.8.8.0.305.3708.2j12j6j1.21.0....0...1c.1.27.hp..6.23.2713.GttUq9Z_8AY BTW What I posted is NOT some hidden info Been out there for months http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZkk6ueZt-U From the very first link in your search.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx2scvIFGjE This reminded me very much of speakers corner. I know it is just the liberal media machine twisting the truth, but still, pretty amusing. I really enjoyed the lady who thinks "Obamacare" leads to gun prohibition.

Well, as forever as everyone else and then some, yes. For the above mentioned reasons. Most of the 'printed' money (im sure you know we dont actually print all that currency) is held in the central bank, under easy control of the central bank. Currently emerging nations like China and India, to name just a couple, benefit from a strong dollar (relative to their own currency) because it makes exporting more profitable, and helps grow their economies. Just those things alone should be enough to assuage most of your concerns about hyper-inflation.

Even the US military doesn't have a trillion dollar budget, so let's not pretend that the health exchanges in each state do. Did you understand the point I made? They aren't going to size their web infrastructure for day 1 load, which is likely 10x (or 100x) the normal load. This would accurately be labelled as mismanagement of federal money. Corporations can spend for peak demand because they make more money during peak demand. Federal or non profit organizations as a rule do not. They also have greater regulation around security, which likely doesn't lend itself to spending an extra million for AWS compute cycles this week. In short, the problems today have little to do with any systemic problems with ACA. I understood it, but I grew up playing MMORPGs.

Ive got a road king with some straight pipes on it. Sounds nice cruising, and pretty throaty sitting at idle, that's why I dont have a silent exhaust personally. I do try my best to cruise through the hood quietly and respect the neighbors, I am sure its loud at 2am even when doing my best though. There are assholes in every hobby and they give the rest of us a worse rep than we deserve .

Out of curiosity, What was she paying before for the same coverage? I have a grandfathered policy and BCBS said I shouldn't expect any unusual premium increases.

this ^^ As usual the rocket scientist is on point. I have a grandfathered plan as well from BCBS, got a similar letter and they said what Wendy said when I called. I am compliant, in fact my policy is well past the mandated coverage, but they said if I make any changes to my policy I will lose grandfather status, they also said I won't see any premium increases beyond what I have already been seeing. It goes up about $10/month every year. Oh...and it covers skydiving! (or rather doesn't exclude it) Randomly asked the lady to check for me when I had her on the phone. Score.

well, ..... yeah ..... but this is speaker's corner and I want to just pretend a scenario and then get all outraged over that scenario and act like it's the reality. OK? Edit: and then, even if the truth comes out, I'll just stick with my version anyway and state that if I were on the jury, I'd have stuck to my theory. The truth came out in the form of a GoPro video of Zimmerman barely surviving the attack by Martin??? Link me to that please. I did see this video, looks like the dad got chased by a crazy fuckin group of people and defended himself the best he could. Luckily for him he wasnt SHOT and KILLED after being chased. I wonder if he pulled a gun on the guys chasing him, and was subsequently killed, would the pursuers be just "defending themselves"?

Pandas are Asian - Dems don't care about asians Only true until they start to number the same as African-Americans and Mexican-Americans. PANDA 2016!

Staffers are just government employees, with health insurance through their employer. People who have health insurance through their employer don't need to buy insurance on their own. All this "secret deal" did was clarify that legislative employees were in the same class as everyone else in the country. The fact that your source is the National Review is telling. Don't bring facts and logic into a RUSHMC discussion You will just get more broken haiku style ramblings of a crazy person. That's the real brain drain.

Well I am glad you see all of it, being as you just started trying to learn. You are probably right, 2 years away from being Greece. I had no idea we were the only nation with a fiat currency, I am glad you mentioned that. I am getting rid of my dollars ASAP and buying a currency that is asset backed. Do you have a good recommendation for me?? Wiki says NO ONE uses the gold standard in 2013?????? WTF!@#@!#

That wasn't the emergency exit kit. Think David Carradine.

But what about the panda? The real question is, who pays for the panda when it gets sick??? The govt?!? Fuckin' freeloading panda.

I had to read your post a couple of times. I think you are getting a few thing mixed up. Let me see it I can clear it up: Inflation of the dollar has never stopped as far as I can remember. If you see the price of beer go up, that is inflation. Remember, this thread is primarily on the worth of the dollar. When the market crashed in mid 2005-2006, what we had was "Stagflation." Which was inflation of the dollar at a rate above the GDP of the U.S. This was a clear sign of Deflation of the economy, not the dollar. The dollar was still inflating. Our "Zero-Bound economy" means that the Fed has set interest rates as zero or near zero. The Fed controls the interest rates based on the economy to keep a slow and steady growth. Not the other way around. The wall street does not control the interest rate. The "Saving of the Economy" by the Obama administration happened like this: The Fed reduced the interest rate to zero, so the rich could borrow money cheap to save wall street. This kept the confidence in the dollar strong so the world would not dump the dollar as the world reserve currency and help check inflation. Because the dollar is retaining it's value like no other currency is able to because of it's special status, the Fed can now continue to print money and hand it out to the poor via welfare programs. Eventually, printing money at this rate will saturate the world with the dollar. When the world economies have enough dollars to equal their GDP's, or they stop trading in the dollar, our unique status will be used up. Inflation will take off again and the poor's handouts won't cover their cost of living any more. Any nation that hopes to maintain at least a break even economy must produce at least as much as it consumes. It's really that simple. Not what is happening. Inflation is driven by the money supply, but more specifically the money in circulation. Take a look at the Feds balance sheet and you will start to get a better idea of why we don't see the inflation you are so worried about. the vast majority of the money that has been added to the system has stayed inside the banks. If it never gets outside the central banking system, its very easy to control the inflation problem. The Fed isn't handing it out to poor people, they are buying MBS for the most part, and banks are holding tons in reserve, for which they are paid interest by the Fed. When the amount of cash held on reserve starts to approach 2007 levels again, then we can start to talk about inflation risk. As a side note, inflation is preferable to deflation, and is a by-product of stable growth...and is something the Fed keeps a very close watch on. The dollar will not lose status as the reserve currency in our lifetime. Also, USA does not actively control exchange rates like China does for example. The US central bank (the fed) has decided to focus on domestic interest rates instead. By controlling those rates, they do affect exchange rates, but not directly. China does the opposite. China NEEDS dollars. They need them so they can depreciate their currency and remain globally competitive. China has a fixed exchange rate for a number of reasons, global competitiveness, increased security for foreign investment are a couple big ones, but their domestic interest rates are highly volatile because of this. the way China controls their exchange rate is through FX. The US is more focused on stable domestic interest rates. Here is a couple Fed balance sheets to show you what I mean. Current http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/current/h41.htm See the cash in circulation at 1,204,496 M Reserves held at the Fed 2,278,603 M and in 2007 http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/20071129/ You see cash in circulation of 821,992 M Reserves held at the fed of 8,887 M So while the money supply has increased, the vast majority of that money has never left the Fed, and as such is extremely easy to control.
