2009-The Great Obama “Job Stimulus” Robbery Made Easy

“Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things you couldn’t do before.”

Thus spoketh White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in November, as Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats made preparations for robbing the American people under the guise of a “job stimulus package.”

In point of fact, the 850 page, $825 billion House legislation is anything but a job stimulus.” 85% of it is a wish list of special interest paybacks and “politically correct” subsidies for pet projects. It was pushed through by Obama being virtually unread by Democrats in Congress.

Almost 40% of it is earmarked to large urban states such as California and New York so they can continue retaining their armies of pampered, highly paid marginally productive government employees. These millions of government workers will continue receiving salary increases, bloated pensions and life long medical benefits that private sector employees can only dream about.

Almost 60 Billion Dollars more is earmarked to reward states for increasing their Welfare Rolls. It negates the 1996 bill that has taken millions off welfare, transforming them into productive citizens. Welfare reform is now a dead issue.

To create the illusion of increasing employment (at a cost of billions to the private sector taxpayer), government payrolls are to be bloated by the hiring of an additional 600,000 federal, state and local civil servants.

Among the “smaller ticket items,” totally unrelated to job creation:

BEGINNING OF LIST:

1. $1 billion for Amtrak

2. $2 billion for child-care subsidies

3. $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts

4. $400 million for global-warming research

5. $2.4 billion for carbon-capture demonstration projects related to global warming research

An enthusiastic Barack Hussein Obama has said this bill will make “dramatic investments to revive our flagging economy,” but that’s far from true. Some $30 billion, or less than 5% of the spending in the bill, is for fixing bridges or other highway projects.

Special project spending will go to such things as renewable energy funding ($8 billion) or mass transit ($6 billion). The latter is designed to ensure during a time of increasing layoffs in the tax paying private sector, mass transit civil servants (who are paid with private sector taxpayer funds) will continue to receive raises and increases to their bloated pensions and medical benefits.These are municipal Union members, a hard core constituency of Obama and other Democrats.

In New York City, a transit worker assigned to nothing more than sweeping floors, has a starting salary of $49,000.00 per year. They retire a fat pension after 20 years.

6. $600 million more for the federal government to buy new cars

7. $7 billion for modernizing federal buildings and facilities

8. $150 million for the Smithsonian Institute

9. $252 billion in cash benefits for those who pay income taxes or don’t pay income taxes. It’s for those who work or don’t work. It is even available to Illegal Aliens.

10. $81 billion for Medicaid

11. $20 billion for food stamps

12. An additional $83 billion for the earned income credit for people who don’t pay income tax, including Illegal Aliens.

13. $54 billion will go to federal programs that the Office of Management and Budget or the Government Accountability Office have already criticized as “ineffective” or unable to pass basic financial audits.

14. $66 billion will go for “Education,” as a payoff to teachers unions. In this way, the parents of children in their classes might be unemployed, but teachers are insured that no matter what level of competency, their jobs, salary increases, pensions and lifelong medical care is secure. If you think the intention here is to help kids learn, the House declares on page 257 that “No recipient… shall use such funds to provide financial assistance to students to attend private elementary or secondary schools.” This is a way to keep money from going to non-union teachers.

As Speaker Nancy Pelosi put it, “We won the election. We wrote the bill.” And the Republicans might want to stand back and let Barack Hussein Obama and his band of thieves take full credit for the theft and results.

To create the illusion of increasing employment (at a cost of billions to the private sector taxpayer), government payrolls are to be bloated by the hiring of an additional 600,000 federal, state and local civil servants.

Obama’s Socialist Job Plans For His Second Term Exposed and the GOP has Caved.

From the book “Fool Me Twice” by Aaron Klein (Author), Brenda Elliott (Author)

The last thing the country can afford in the Obama jobs depression is more deficit spending that adds to the trillion-dollar debt while failing yet again to “stimulate” job creation. This Keynesian scheme historically has never succeeded, it has been a complete failure under Obama for four years – and must NOT continue. The GOP caved calling it Compromise.

Republican Congressional leadership must not aid or abet Obama, and the Constitutionalist Conservatives elected by We the People to HALT this insane profligacy ( MUST REMOVE THE GOP LEADERSHIP)  if they collude with Obama.

boehner and obamaFor Obama to persist in pushing this agenda upon a suffering nation is the height of folly and arrogance – and the antithesis of leadership. (AND THE GOP MUST NOT AID OR ABET HIM! )

*From the book Fool Me Twice by Aaron Klein (Author), Brenda Elliott (Author)

Fool Me Twice is based on exhaustive research into the coming plans and presidential policies as well as the specific second term recommendations of the major progressive groups behind Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership.

One of the prime avenues Obama plans to exploit is to initiate vast government programs to create jobs
Fool Me Twice meticulously details the stealth with which the Obama Administration and its allies on the left work in order to inculcate their socialist agenda with regard to government jobs. The book outlines the methodology the Left uses to gain credibility with the public:
In nearly every case, we found each plan was crafted and perfected over time by key progressive organizations and activists, usually first promoted in extensive research and policy papers.

Many times, the plan at hand was only gradually introduced into legislation pushed by progressive Democrats. Progressive marketing strategists, we found, were then brought in to sell the plan to the American public, cloaking the most radical proposals in the guise of moderation, in the bland-sounding rhetoric of popular social ideals.

The December 2009, American Jobs Plan stated that the government should create jobs by “Putting unemployed people to work in jobs that will benefit their communities.” The Economic Policy Council declared, “If the private sector can’t put people back to work, then the public sector must.” This was a planned and coordinated attack using outside organizations.
Once the seeds of the socialist agenda had been planted in the consciousness of the American mind, the plan took the next step:
Introduce, reintroduce, and cut and paste jobs legislation until they manage to force through more and more taxpayer funded government-controlled jobs and entitlement programs.

  barack-obama-making-americans-slaves

For example, on October 7, 2011, The American Jobs Bill of 2011, Obama’s baby, failed to pass the Senate. Ten days later, Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey tried to reintroduce the first part of the legislation. That failed a Senate vote on October 20. Then the Democrats took part of the defeated jobs bill and introduced the $60 billion Rebuild America Jobs act. On November 3, the Obama Administration voiced its support for the bill, but it lost in the Senate that day.
To truly see the bald-faced attempts at recreating the failed attempts of the FDR era to stimulate economic recovery (which contributed to a ten-year depression) one need look no farther than the newly-minted 21st Century Works Progress Administration, launched by Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey. Supported by the president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Thomas Buffenbarger, who voiced his support on the Democratic Socialists of America labor blog and just happens to also be a member of the executive council of the AFL-CIO, the new WPA was also cheered on by Paul Krugman in the New York Times.
Of course, the new WPA legislation doesn’t say how many jobs would be created. But the National Taxpayers Union Foundation estimated the cost at $250 billion over the next two years.
As if that frightening reenactment of Roosevelt’s failed policies weren’t enough, Obama also champions the resurrection of another FDR program with the creation of the 21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps. That little idea would cost the American taxpayers a gigantic $1.45 trillion.
And how about the Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act? It would cost $100 billion.
Fool Me Twice doesn’t miss another salient aspect of the government-creates-jobs plans of the left: the empowerment of unions. And with unions increasingly threatening those who challenge their authority, and union pensions choking the economy, the point is well-taken.
The details of Obama’s plans are economically horrifying. And Fool Me Twice doesn’t sugarcoat the bitter pill Obama wants the American taxpayer to swallow.
by Taboola
While many have general concerns about Obama’s second-term ambitions, Fool Me Twice lays bare the devastating details of the second Obama presidency.
Obama’s re-election theme of creating jobs conceals more than it reveals about his real agenda for a second term. All the main areas of domestic policy are covered – jobs, wages, health care, immigration overhaul, electoral reform, national energy policy. Each of the plans exposed seek to permanently remake America into a government-dominated socialist state. Here are just a few samples from dozens upon dozens of specific schemes unveiled herein:
Detailed plans to enact single-payer health care legislation controlled by the Federal government regardless of any Supreme Court decision to overturn Obamacare;(WPA) program within the Department of Labor that would oversee a massive new bureaucracy and millions of new Federal jobs; Further gutting of the U.S. military in shocking ways, while using the savings for a new green stimulus program and the founding of a Federal green bank to fund so-called environmentally friendly projects;
bolster the United Nations and step up use of peacekeeping deployments;
An expansive new amnesty program for illegal aliens linked with a reduction in the capabilities of the U.S. Border Patrol and, plans to bring in untold numbers of new immigrants with the removal of caps on H-1B visas and green cards.

Fool Me Twice is based on exhaustive research into the coming plans and presidential policies as well as the specific second term recommendations of the major progressive groups behind Barack Obama and the Democratic leadership.

Was Clinton Injured, and a US Navy Seal Killed In 2012 Secret US Mission To Iran ? ?

 

hillary headuntitled

by Stuart Wilde December 30, 2012

A new Foreign Military Intelligence (GRU) report circulating in the Kremlin is saying that United  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was injured, and a top US Navy Seal Commander killed when their C-12 Huron military passenger and transport aircraft crash landed in the Iranian city of Ahvaz near the Iraqi border.

Iranian intelligence agents quoted in this GRU report confirm that the C-12 Huron aircraft is still in their possession in Ahvaz, but will only admit that the plane was “forced to land because of technical problems

US Navy Seal Commander Job W PriceThe US Navy Seal member reported killed in this bizarre incident, this report says, was identified as Commander Job W. Price who as a leader of this highly specialized American Special Forces unit protects high-ranking diplomats traveling in Middle Eastern and Asian combat zones.

Curiously, US media reports on Commander Price’s death say it being investigated as a possible suicide as he died from what the American Defense Department describes as “a non-combat related injury.”??

Equally as curious, US media reports state that Secretary Clinton suffered what they describe as a “nasty bout with stomach flu” and a “concussion” which have kept her missing from public view the past three weeks.

***This GRU report, however, states that US military flight logs recorded by Russian air and space forces confirm that Commander Price, and other members of US Navy Seal Team 4, left their base in Urozgan Province, Afghanistan on a flight to US Naval Support Activity Bahrain where they met up with Secretary Clinton and all of them transferred to the C-12 Huron that began a flight path to Baghdad, Iraq.
Within minutes of leaving Bahrain airspace, this report says, the C-12 Huron carrying Secretary Clinton and her US Navy Seal protectors, “without notice,” deviated from their assigned flight path heading, instead, directly towards Iran’s Ahwaz International Airport where, coincidentally, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had previously landed on an “unscheduled” visit.
**Important to note, GRU analysts say in this report, was that when the C-12 Huron entered into Iranian airspace neither American nor Iran air force units responded clearly indicating that this secret mission was sanctioned.

Upon the C-12 Huron landing at Ahwaz, however, this report says it encountered “extreme turbulence” causing it to leave the runway where its main landing gear then collapsed causing it to crash.

Within seconds of the C-12 Huron crashing, this report continues, Iranian emergency and security personal responded freeing the victims, including Secretary Clinton who was reportedly unconscious and “bleeding profusely.”
After emergency aid was given, GRU agents stationed in Iran state that another US military flight was dispatched from Bahrain to Ahwaz which evacuated all of those wounded and killed in the crash including Secretary Clinton.

The sole purpose for euthanizing the elderly is to reduce the drain on a bankrupt Social Security and Medicare system

BILL CLINTON EXCITED

According to the protocol of A Clinton White House meeting that took place on Nov. 12, 1993,
“…The President…” meeting with senior aide Gene Sperling and two other Clinton aides identified in the protocol only as as JFS and DG “…gives an overview of the AIDS situation and its relationship to the Health Security Act. Based on position papers submitted to the President from various organizations that include the WHO and the CDC, it is evident that AIDS is an epidemic in the United States. Juggling figures to show [only those with active AIDS] has kept the figures artificially low…The President now believes that it would be impossible to include any…AIDS patients with those citizens to be covered by the Health Security Act.”
Clinton was so concerned about AIDS that on Nov. 12, 1993 as the Health Security Act was in its death throes, he suggested that a provision be added to the bill mandating a one-time screening for AIDS be done on all US citizens. **Clinton also proposed having the CDC require every citizen with full-blown AIDS to be confined to AIDS sanatoriums until they were no longer contagious, or until they died. The sanatoriums were to be situated in sparsely-populated areas of the country.

Upon admission, patients would be required to sign living wills with euthanasia previsions that could be triggered by proxy when their healthcare providers deemed them to be “terminal.” The AIDS provision Clinton wanted to add to Hillarycare does not appear to be in Obamacare.

However, the same federal Health Board that will be charged with the responsibility of doing the cost analysis on the merits of keeping the elderly alive versus denying them lifesaving procedures will also be responsible for preparing a cost analysis on the value of keeping terminally-ill AIDS victims alive on the public dime.

It’s interesting to note that the gay and lesbian population actively campaigned for Clinton in 1992 and 1996 just as the elderly—the primary target of the Obamacare Health Board actively campaigned, and voted, for Barack Obama in 2008. Yet, try to convince the gay and lesbian community that, if Hillarycare hadn’t failed, most of them would be spending their final days in an isolated AIDS sanatorium somewhere in the Badlands.   hillary-in-blue-hijab-300x205

And the blue-haired seniors in Florida and Arizona may find that their next flare-up of irritable bowel syndrome, or their next broken hip, might land them in a terminal care unit of their local hospital where those who linger while dying go to die, instead of sitting around bragging about their latest hospital adventure at the assisted living center.

Make no mistake about it. The Obama Health Board, or as it is legislatively known, the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Research, headed by death merchants the likes of Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (Dr. Death)based on the vision of Dr. Robert Pearlman, the Chief of Ethics Evaluation for the Veteran’s Administration National Center for Ethics in Health Care, who was the visionary behind the notion that disabled veterans who do not want to be a burden to their families or to society, have the right to death with dignity through assisted suicide.

Pearlman authored his death protocol in 1997. For the remaining three years of the Clinton Administration, Pearlman’s 52-page end-of-life planning document, “Your Life, Your Choices,” not only became the basis for the living wills used by disabled military people but, it also became the framework for the federal regulation that now requires hospitals and other medical care facilities to pressure patients—particularly elderly patients—to sign Living Wills (i.e., euthanasia provisions).

Today, in violation of the Hippocratic Oath, doctors regularly euthannize patients deemed to be terminally-ill. Among the list of terminal illnesses that can trigger the Living Will death-with-dignity provision is old-age.!!!

No right-minded person should ever sign a living will unless they have a penchant to prematurely expedite their exodus from this world. When you sign a living will, you are actually signing your own death warrant—and you are giving someone you don’t know the right to end your life when they see fit to do so.

The argument of the pro-euthanasia crowd (whose primary goal is population reduction at both ends of the age corridor) is that people have a right to death with dignity.
There is no such thing. There is no dignity in death. Even in a roomful of people, death is a journey we travel alone. God, not a bureaucrat, appointed when that journey will begin for each of us.
Agendized bureaucrats and their minions in the medical community do not possess an inherent right to hasten that journey because they view us as a drain on the financial coffers of the State. or because stupid men believe the populations of the nations are responsible for cyclic weather change and floods and droughts. And, by reducing the population of the United States we will somehow make the world a better place.

The sole purpose for euthanizing the elderly is to reduce the drain on a bankrupt Social Security and Medicare system. The government of the United States not only stole the Social Security Trust Fund. Now they want to kill the elderly when they come to collect the money due them in their old age.

imagesCA103W3NHere’s just one of a thousand examples of “death with dignity.” On February 20, 1998 when Mary Helmueller, a RN from Minneapolis, was visiting friends in Mexico City, her grandmother fractured her left knee and was admitted to a local hospital. When Helmueller returned, she learned that her grandmother had died. According to the hospital records concerning her grandmother’s demise which Helmueller personally examined, her grandmother was alert and oriented upon admission but, within 48 hours, she went into a coma.
The “coma” was in fact, unconsciousness induced by morphine. According to nurses at the local hospital who attended her, she would awaken between pain medications saying: “I don’t want to die. I want to live to see Johnny ordained. I want to see Greta walk.” (Johnny was her grandson who was studying for the priesthood in Rome. Greta was her new great-granddaughter.) She was transferred to a hospice where she died a day or so later.

Her medical charts said she had a stroke and was in renal failure.
Helmueller insisted that her grandmother had no terminal illnesses. But, based on federal guidelines, she did. She was old. Old age is construed to be a terminal illness since you can’t recover from it. Also, according to Helmueller, to the best of her knowledge, her grandmother never signed a living will. It was not until hospice officials called family members and told them that death was imminent and there was no chance the elderly woman would recover, that they tacitly gave the hospital permission to execute her. Keep in mind, all that was wrong with her when she was transferred to the hospice was a fractured knee and overmedication—by the medical staff.

Carefully tracing the events that led up to her grandmother’s “coma,” Helmueller discovered that her grandmother became increasingly unresponsive after each morphine treatment. It appeared to Helmueller that her grandmother’s coma was caused by a morphine overdose.

However, the admitting records at the hospice affirm the statements of two hospice doctors who swore, by their signatures, that she was terminally ill. However, the first doctor, the director of the hospice, never examined or evaluated her—nor did he so much as review her chart which, by the way, listed her as a “No Code” patient.

The second doctor was on vacation when Helmueller’s grandmother arrived via ambulance from the hospital. He returned from vacation three days after her death. Yet, in the expert medical opinions of both doctors—neither of whom ever saw her while she was living—she was terminal when she was admitted.

The medical-legal community now defines terminal illness as any incurable or irreversible illness or chronic medical problem that will, or could, result in death in six months without medication or medical intervention.

What that means is, if you suffer from heart disease that is under control with medication, but you are nearing retirement age, under Obamacare, you could be construed to be terminally-ill by the federal guidelnes mandated by the Death Squad.

Therefore, if youy’ve signed a living will, and you have a chronic illnesses or catastropic disability, you can be denied medical treatment or suddenly find yourself in a morphine-induced “coma,”—and euthanized. Pinellas County, Florida Circuit Court Judge George S. Geer ordered Terri Schiavo to be denied liquid nourishment and life-sustaining water—sentencing an innocent woman to be executed in an extremely painful manner.

No judge in the United States of America has a constitutional right to sentence an unconvicted, innocent person to death. No judge in the United States could pronounce a death sentence on even the most notorious mass murderer that entailed starving them to death to the extent of even denying them water and have it stand up under judicial scrutiny.

Yet, that’s what Geer did to Schiavo. No court overruled him, and no governor “pardoned her.” The death sentence stood, and Terri Schiavo was executed by the State of Florida..
The 15-member Obama Health Board was created under HR 1, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The board will gain its authority from HR 3200, The America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. The board, which the legislation purports to be an advisory panel created to perform cost analysis of all phases of the stimulus plan is, in reality,

a panel of physicians and healthcare providers whose role it will be to determine at what point it is no longer cost productive to sanction the use of taxpayer dollars to save the life of a patient who requires a surgical procedure, medical procedure or lifesaving medications to correct a medical malady that threatens the life of an elderly patient or someone with a catastrophic illness.

The specific language that deals with the rationing of healthcare to the elderly found in The America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (which was drafted in part by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel), an advocate of assisted suicide, with considerable input from Dr. Pearlman, the author of Your Life, Your Choices” the head of ethics evaluation for the Center for Ethics in Health Care in the VA.

On Sun., Aug. 23, Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday questioned Tammy Duckworth, an Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs about the “death book” that suggests to all disable veterans that their lives aren’t worth living and that they should consider “end-of-life” options.

Duckworth, herself a paraplegic who lost both legs as a helicopter pilot in Iraq, told Wallace that the Obama Administration was not using Pearlman’s death book. She then noted that it was used during the Bush   Administration.*** Wallace corrected her by reading a July 9, 2009 VA memo which clearly indicates an Obama mandate that Your Life, Your Choices, be supplied to every veteran—not just those who are traumatically disabled.
Duckworth told Wallace that, as the copilot of a Blackhawk helicopter, when she was shot down over Iraq, she had both a living will and a power of attorney that allowed her husband to execute her wishes. Duckworth was wounded on Bush’s watch, not Obama’s. Had Duckworth been wounded in Afghanistan or Iraq on Obama’s watch, in a post-passage Obamacare world, under Obama’s federal Health Board guidelines that weighs not only the monetary cost to save and rehabilitate the wounded warrior, but also the post-medical care cost in terms of the disability income, the government would be obligated to pay to that wounded warrior for the rest of his or her life.
When President George W. Bush learned that the Veteran’s Administration was using Pearlman’s death book in 2007, he asked that a copy of the booklet be sent to the White House. After reading the worksheet on page 21 that poised various negative life scenarios and then asks the reader to decide whether or not his or her own life is actually worth living. One of the most tasteless scenarios is this one: “Have you ever heard anyone say, ‘if I’m a vegetable, pull the plug.’?”

Bush ordered the VA to discontinue its use. Why would the Veterans’ Administration, or any agency of the United States government, pose questions specifically to make members of the armed services question their own worthiness as humans, and make them feel guilty for surviving the wounds that disabled them? Your Life, Your Choice was actually designed to cause disabled servicemen (and women) to ponder just how much of a burden they were on their families, and whether they should do the merciful thing and end their own lives?

In point of fact, the Veteran’s Administration wasn’t raising the specter because they believe disabled veterans are a financial burden on their families but, rather, because they are a financial drain on the resources of the State.
At the start of his second term, in 2005, Bush-43 began frantically waving a large warning flags that Social Security was very literally—not theoretically—bankrupt. Bush warned that if something was not done very quickly, within 10 years, the system would collapse and the federal government would no longer be able to meet its financial obligations under Social Security. In order to devise a system that would prevent the bureaucracy from putting Social Security receipts into the general treasury and spending it instead of placing it in a trust fund as required by law,

Bush proposed privatizing Social Security. Under Bush’s idea, the money would go into investment accounts that Congress could not touch. The bureaucracy didn’t like that idea. , the left accused him of fearmongering while they assured America’s retirement age seniors and the soon-to-be retirement age seniors that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Social Security system.

Adding their voice to calm America was the AARP, the advocacy group of the elderly—which receives millions of dollars in federal grants each year to advocate to seniors on the behalf of the federal government.
The bureaucracy knew there was a major problem—too many old people and not even retirement revenue. The problem existed for over a decade before George W. Bush stumbled across it in 2005. Twenty years of unrestricted abortion in the United States between Jan. 22, 1973 and Jan. 20, 1993 (radically shifted as the population of the United States began to age.
The problem wasn’t that there were too many elderly people. The problem was that there weren’t enough young people when the Clintons came to the White House) eliminated approximately 32 million future taxpayers.

Adding the children these aborted babies did not grow up to have, we actually lost 49.6 million future taxpayers and consumers between 1973 and 1993. Today, after a quarter century of killing the unborn in the United States, that number has reach just a hair under 70 million. From 1973 to 2009, the age demographics of the nation paying into the Social Security system.

The far left changed the Trust Fund law and stole the Social Security Trust receipts. They replaced the money with worthless IOUs. Today, there is no trust fund. Tax receipts earn 1% interest, but the money is virtually spent as soon as it’s received, so it doesn’t matter. The money deducted from your paycheck this month covers someone else’s Social Security check next month. Social Security has become a pyramid scheme.

Violating the Ponzi law is what Bernie Madoff went to prison for. Like every pyramid scheme, ultimately there will be more recipients demanding benefits than there will be workers to fund those payments. When that happens, Uncle Sam’s Ponzi scheme will collapse.

Before that happens, government has to find a way to restore the age balance in the taxpayer pool needed to keep the fund solvent.** Sadly, Hillary Clinton’s failed Health Security Act of 1993 offered a bureaucratic solution: rationed healthcare. Obama’s 15-member Health Board, officially branded as the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Research, is authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Its mandate is to “…assist the agencies of the federal government, including HHS and the Department of Veterans Affairs…to coordinate comparative effectiveness and related health service research…The Council will consider the needs of the population served by federal programs.

.” The verbiage in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. makes it appear that the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Research **was legislated as an advisory panel to do cost analysis on all facets of the stimulus package as though to suggest their job is to make sure stimulus money is properly disbursed and that council—funded with $1.1 billion annually—will address the impact of the stimulus bill on subpopulations in the United States. Its deliberations, according to the legislation, will be public and transparent based, the government’s memo said, on the  Resident’s commitment to open government.

The Council will be headed by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (Dr death) brother of  former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. From the HHS are Anne C. Haddox, Chief Policy Officer; Dr. Thomas B. Valuck, MD, Senior Advisor in the Center of Medicare Management; Peter Delaney, Director of the Office of Applied Studies; Dr. Carolyn Clancy, MD; Deborah Hopson, Ph.D, RN, Associate Administrator, HIV/AIDS Bureau; Dr. David Hunt, MD; James Scanlon, Acting Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation; Dr. Elizabeth Nabel, MD, National Institute of Health; Dr. Garth Graham, MD, Office of Minority Health; Dr. Jesse Goodman, MD, Acting Chief Medical Officer for the FDA; Dr. Rosaly Correa-de-Araujo, MD, Acting Deputy for Office on Disability, HHS; Neera Tanden, attorney for Health Reform at HHS; Dr. Joel Kupersmith, MD, Veteran’s Administration; and Dr. Michael Kilpatrick, MD, Department of Defense.

Who Gives Orders To A Four Star General ?????

General Ham bst

by

A source with intimate information about the events that happened on the ground in Benghazi the night the U.S. Consulate and the CIA annex was attacked by terrorists told Breitbart News that, ultimately, only the President of the United States, or someone acting on his authority, could have prevented Special Forces either on the ground or nearby from helping those Americans who were under deadly assault.

According to the source, when the attack on the Consulate occurred, a specific chain of command to gain verbal permission to move special-forces in must have occurred. SOCAFRICA commander Lieutenant Col. Gibson would have contacted a desk officer at the time, asking for that permission.

That desk officer would have called Marine Corps Col. George Bristol, then in command of Joint Special Operations Task Force-Trans Sahara. From there, Bristol would have made contact with Rear Admiral Brian Losey, then Commander of Special Operations Command Africa. Losey would have contacted four-star General Carter Ham, commander of U.S. AFRICOM at the time.

“Ham answers directly to the President of the United States,” said the source. It wasn’t a low-level bureaucrat making the call, the source adamantly added.

That call may have been made early in the engagement. Both Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey testified in January that they had no further communication with President Barack Obama after an initial briefing in the early hours of the  Benghazi crisis, which continued through the night

However what about then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton?

Observation stays don’t count for Medicare coverage, many seniors harshly learn

large group we wont take it any more

By Alex Nixon
Betty Rickett was surprised by a $15,000 nursing home bill after spending three days in a hospital for a broken ankle in 2009.

The 85-year-old from Wellsboro in Tioga County knew that her health insurer, the federal government’s Medicare program, covers the cost of rehabilitation care in a nursing home if the patient was admitted to a hospital for at least three days.

What she didn’t know was that time spent in a hospital bed under observation doesn’t count toward the three-day minimum needed for Medicare coverage. Medicare requires patients to be admitted to a hospital — and being under observation does not count.

It is a lesson that hundreds of thousands of elderly and sick Medicare beneficiaries are learning every year, according to the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” Rickett said. “I was definitely in the hospital. I had to have surgery. I had a rod and a plate put in my foot.”

An estimated 600,000 Medicare beneficiaries spent three or more nights in hospitals last year but did not qualify for nursing home stays under Medicare rules, according to the July report from the Inspector General.

“There have been reports of beneficiaries in observation stays who incurred bills from (skilled nursing facilities) for tens of thousands of dollars because they did not qualify for SNF services under Medicare,” the report said.

The problem is a growing concern because hospitals are increasingly classifying parts of hospital stays as outpatient observation stays. Rickett didn’t learn that until she was in the nursing home for daily rehab to get her walking again — but she had no other options.

Like Rickett, most people who are hospitalized never know they are under observation and not admitted. A patient in observation status typically gets the same care as an admitted patient — they’re given a hospital bed, treated by doctors and nurses, and probably hooked to machines, said Toby Edelman, a senior policy attorney with the Center for Medicare Advocacy in Washington.

“Basically, the issue is that people are in an acute care hospital; they’re in a bed receiving care and they think they are inpatients,” Edelman said. “The care (as an outpatient) is indistinguishable from an inpatient.”

The use of observation stays is becoming a common practice, Edelman said. The government and private insurance companies are trying to clamp down on runaway health care costs by scrutinizing short inpatient hospital stays and paying only for admissions deemed medically necessary.

“If they decide someone should have been called an outpatient, the hospital gets no reimbursement,” she said.

The reimbursement can be three times higher for a short inpatient stay than for an observation stay, the Inspector General found. Medicare last year paid an average of $5,142 for an inpatient stay of less than two nights. A similar stay under observation cost Medicare an average of $1,741.

The risk of losing that money has led to hospitals erring on the side of caution and keeping people under observation status longer.

Hospitals across Western Pennsylvania have complained for years about the growing use of observation stays because the practice cuts into their revenue, which is being squeezed by lower government reimbursements and higher levels of bad debt and charity care.

A bill pending in the U.S. Senate seeks to change Medicare rules to allow observation stays to be counted toward the three-day total.

“Being hospitalized is a stressful time for seniors and their families,” said Sen. Bob Casey,  a cosponsor of the bill.

“Getting a medical bill for thousands of dollars after a hospital stay only adds to the stress of an illness,” Casey said. “The overuse of observation status harms seniors and families.”

Rickett learned that Medicare wouldn’t cover her nursing home stay soon after arriving there, but said she felt she had no choice but to stay and figure out payments later.”I couldn’t do anything on my own,” she said of her confinement to a wheelchair while her ankle healed.

Once recovered and at home, Rickett said she tried to start paying down her debt but eventually filed for bankruptcy.

She was behind on bills, and the nursing home debt pushed her finances over the edge.

Several years later, she said, “I’m doing fine now. … I don’t have the bills I had before.”

U.S Ambassador Stevens, was raped tortured, and cattle prodded for 7 hours while Obama and Clinton ignored his pleas for help.

what difference does it make hillary

After Defense Secretary Leon Panetta made the following statement about not deploying troops without the intel that says its a good idea, career military people began talking. What they had to say suggests someone in Washington needs to be fired, and someone else needs to be impeached. The quote attributed to Panetta was: “…the basic principle is that you don’t deploy forces into harm’s way without knowing what’s going on, without having some real-time information about taking place. And, “as a result of not having that kind of information, the commander who was on the ground in that area, Gen. Ham, Gen. Dempsey and I felt very strongly that we could not put forces at risk in that situation.”

General Ham bst However, When Gen. Carter Ham, head of Africom, received the same emails that Panetta, Clinton and Obama received, he assembled a rapid response unit and informed Panetta he was ready to go. Ham was ordered to stand down. He told Panetta to screw himself, telling the Secretary that he was sending his men in. Less than one minute later Lt. Gen. David Rodriquez told Ham—his boss—he had just been relieved of his command because he refused to obey a direct order from the Commander-in-Chief. Obama then appointed Rodriguez as the new head of Africom. Now you know precisely who gave the order to “stand down” that resulted in the sacrificial death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, IT Specialist Sean Smith and former Navy Seals Glenn Doherty and Tyrone Woods for “political points.”

(Note: the Obama Administration also lied when it said that Doherty and Woods were assigned to personally protect Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi. That was a blatant fabrication. The former Seals, attached to the CIA, refused the White House order to “stand down.” They went to the Consulate and defended the mission with their lives. While neither man was on active duty in the US Navy at the time, both men deserve the US Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery above and beyond the call of duty. Reinstate Doherty and Woods and award both the Congressional Medal of Honor. American warriors who die protecting Americans on American soil in foreign lands need to be honored for their bravery.)

Before believing the blatant donkey kong excreted from both sides of Obama‘s mouth whenever he speaks, pay attention to the stream of emails from Stevens in Benghazi and the CIA in Tripoli sent repeatedly to the State Department, the White House, the Pentagon and the CIA which confirm that on September 11, 2012 as the terrorist strike on the US Consulate began.

In the White House Situation Room, the Secretary of State, the CIA, the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs and the Director of the CIA—and, for what he’s worth, Obama‘s Director of National Intelligence, retired USAF Lt. Gen. James Clapper who, in the end, is going to be expected to fall on his is Air Force Academy saber for Obama on this one, as more Americans realize it was Obama himself who gave the “stand down” order??

Clearly, the Benghazi mess is not going to go away anytime soon—particularly since the Obama Administration and the Democratic leadership had assured the media that this issue is much too serious to “rush through” the Benghazi affair will be protected by Executive Privilege. Hearings in the House—and in the Senate if the GOP picks up enough seats to regain control—will once again be stonewalled by the most “transparent Administration in the history of the United States” (Obama‘s words).

You can take that observation to the bank because there has been no bipartisan cooperation in the “cause and effect” assessments and decisions emanating from the Obama Administration. Obama, like Franklin D. Roosevelt before him, sees himself as a one-man executive, legislative and judicial entity who, by Executive degree, can empower himself with the authority of a king who answers to no one.

As we can see from the past four years, when you’re a community organizer with no real corporate or senior level executive government management experience, and when your key advisers—including your Attorney General and Solicitor General—see no evil in your political sins, you will have the trappings of absolute power. The American people have forgotten a time-honored adage which they very seriously need to remember: the only difference between a rut in the road of progress and an economic mass grave is the size and shape of the hole. When you can no longer patch the economic hole with money, someone in a black shroud holding a large, sharp scythe will be speaking the eulogy over this nation.

“Based on confessions derived from some of those arrested at the scene” six people, “all of them Egyptians” from the jihad group Ansar al-Sharia (“Supporters of Islamic Law), were arrested.

———————————–

According to A report,by Mahmoud Ibrahim Sharif, Director of National Security for Libya, during interrogations, these Egyptian jihadi cell members “confessed to very serious and important information concerning the financial sources of the group and the planners of the event and the storming and burning of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi…. And among the more prominent figures whose names were mentioned by cell members during confessions were: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi; preacher Safwat Hegazi; Saudi businessman Mansour Kadasa, owner of the satellite station,Al-Nas; Egyptian Sheikh Muhammad Hassan; former presidential candidate, Hazim Salih Abu Isma’il…”

Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society

Pravda is blaming President Obama’s re-election on an “illiterate society” who voted for him. . Vladimir Putin was re-elected as President keeping the NWO order out of Russia while America continues Obama’s march to it. After Obama was elected in his first term as president the then Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in January of 2009. Ignored by the West as usual, Putin gave insightful and helpful advice to help the world economy and saying the world should avoid the Soviet mistake’s. Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he did in Egypt, Libya and Syria. He plans his next war is with Iran as he fires or demotes his generals who get in the way.(General Ham) This lady sums things up pretty well: Original Obamaphone Lady: Obama Voter Says Vote for Obama because he gives a free Phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpAOwJvTOio

 

 

 

 

 

Politicians Like the Clintons, Obama, McCain, Boehner, Lawyers and Bankers killed the American Dream.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner is facing a primary opponent in his District in Ohio – a local high school teacher named J.D. Winteregg. He is challenging Boehner’s conservative credentials and ability to lead the Republican Party.

Winteregg has stepped up to do what most Republicans won’t – confront Boehner.

Here’s his argument:

Boehner voted to fund Obamacare.
• Boehner voted to raise the debt ceiling.
• Boehner voted to fund Planned Parenthood.
• Boehner refused to investigate Benghazi.
• Boehner refused to investigate the IRS scandal.
• Boehner takes money from liberal PAC’s.
• Then, last week, Boehner told donors in a private meeting that he’s “hell-bent” on passing amnesty!

boehner and obamaBoehner takes money from liberal PAC’s.+ hell-bent” on passing amnesty for illegals.

We believe the case Winteregg makes against Boehner’s re-election is rock-solid.

The truth is, Boehner has been in Washington D.C. for 24 years. He’s a part of the establishment, and he’s bargaining away our Constitutional rights and our free enterprise system. In every instance where Boehner concedes to the liberals, in the name of cooperation, we lose.

A new poll shows Boehner is in trouble! Voters are finally waking-up to his shady deals with the liberals.

The era of go-along, get-along leadership must end. Over and over, people like Boehner forget why they were elected in the first place and abandon the very reason they were sent to Washington!

In 2010 we showed the world that conservative principles can prevail. It is time to demonstrate that strength again.

Politicians Like the Clintons, Obama, McCain, Boehner,Pelosi Lawyers, and Bankers killed the American Dream.
We ate our own young. More money if you can shoot a hoop rather than cure a disease. Entitlement for the lazy and ignorant. Voters who know more about the Kardashian’s then the Constitution, Elected Officials like Obama who are great talkers but totally worthless Leaders .
