If this healthcare bill passes we will lose at least 2.3 million jobs.

Now that the liberals know they own the house and senate and that the democrat legislators will commit political suicide, they are no longer being secretive about what they want to do, Garrison Keillor, NPR funny man had this to say in his New York Times op-ed “If we simply extended Medicare to anyone who wished to sign up for it, the vast Kafkaesque bureaucracy of for-profit insurance would come crashing down, and the public would be healthier. “ and over on the Democrat underground they had this to say “Just doing away with the insurance industry with a wave of the wand, is not as simple as some might think.” They go on to say that the insurance industry had about 2.3 million wage and salary jobs in 2006, it accounted for 62% of the jobs, while insurance agencies, brokerages, and providers of other insurance-related services accounted for 38 percent of jobs. And I in my infinite ignorance because I am a conservative just cannot figure out why they would like to do away with 62% of our jobs in a jobless recovery…

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that if you destroy 2.3 million jobs in order to create a healthcare bill is that not simply insane. 2.3 million Jobs, 2.3 million people out of work and for what so the president can have a new toy to play with, our health? Now of course those of us lucky enough to still have a job that is not government subsidized will have the pleasure of paying for all of this and it will not be cheap, you see in Nancy Pelosi’s bill alone there is a huge marriage penalty. If you are single you can expect to pay 1,200.00 if you are married try 12,000.00 from incomes ranging from 60,000.00 to 90,000. They won’t call this a tax because if they do then we can outright call Obama the liar he is, no this is what your yearly premiums will be unless they feel the need to raise them, now of course you may try to opt out but you will be fined up to 28% of your income and if you still do not bend they will put you in prison.

Is any of this right, no, is it constitutional, no, do they care, not really. Nancy Pelosi when asked if it was constitutional said “The constitution are you serious?” The fact is this has nothing to do with extending health coverage to anyone and everything to do with destroying our economy even further, it is not some altruistic plan it is an evil plan to destroy 2.3 million jobs. Are we ready to see 2.3 million unemployed people in our streets, looking for jobs, looking for a place to live, looking for food? Is this the change he was talking about? Destroy every job in America? It is funny how they always leave out the how their wonderful plans will affect the average American; it is not that they forget it is more like they don’t care. Keep in mind the people out their pushing this collectively could donate enough money to insure everyone they are so worried about, do they do it, no, why, because they have the taxpayer money why use their own. If this healthcare bill passes we will lose at least 2.3 million jobs.
