Economist:  from the very rag that endorsed the fascist usurper.  They're as dim and malleable as the suburban white soccer mom's who supported the "articulate" one, who is about as articulate without his teleprompter as the guy begging for money on the corner.  That was as easy for most of us to see in 2008 (and prior) as it is now that the MSM trolls are starting to turn on their emperor who has no clothes. 

I used to read the Econo-missed, but never, ever again.  That is a character mistake you don't recover from.

No doubt.  He (and whoever wrote his bios for him) wrote that Davis was his 'father-figure' so that if the MSM turns on him and produces facts, he can claim 'well, I said he was my father'.

My experience is the same.  They say they are willing to have theoretical discussions about how to make sure everyone is covered and conceptual ideas about what this should look like.  But when confronted with the reality of what this is, a bloated, buggy, unworkable, security ridden business application that costs way too much, well, then they are not interested in a dialog.

Classic.

Oh no, they want to talk about it now!  They have had their insurance policies that they were perfectly happy with CANCELED!  They can't fucking believe it has happened to THEM!  So boy, do they want to talk about it.    

The difference is that we're sick of talking about it with them.  We listened, sympathetically and never once said or implied "I told you so" even though they teed it up for us so beautifully.

But enough is enough.  They're waking up and they'll have to evolve to this mess on their own.  At this point they're like militant ex-smokers who practically walk around with fire extinguishers, just waiting for someone to blast.  (Ah, California, how insane you are.)

Now if we can just get through Thanksgiving with some of them.

It's actually quite revealing and entertaining to have interactions with Progressives.

Awhile back we were at a PTA meeting when one woman proposed we use funds to give all the teachers and staff free lunch on Fridays " to show we cared for them". Mr M,who was treasurer, ran the numbers and told her this would result in spending 1/3 of our money by the end of the school year. He explained this was an inappropriate use of funds where people had donated specifically for school projects not covered in the operating costs of the school. The debate got very heated and finally she got up, walked to the door, and said " All I want to do is show we care. I don't think a free lunch on Fridays is too much to ask. I'm not staying a minute longer with those who don't care for others and reduce everything to money!" She slammed the door as she left.

We had to finally conclude some really don't get the " No Free Lunch" reality and no amount of discussion or reason will change it. It aways will descend into " you don't care".

Don't the generous salary and benefits package say "We Care"?  

I can't help but wonder if that woman worked for a living.  I am certain that she did not run a business herself because she would have understood the economic reality involved.

There is a certain immaturity to these people that is maddening, if you let it get to you.  Discussions descend to arguments that are emotion based, just like children.  Love the door slam.  

I bet the meeting went far more smoothly after she was gone.

Well Jena, I was loath to continue the story because it would have been titled Progessives are More Politically Astute than Non Progessives. The next day she talked to all the staff and told them her proposal as well as how a selected few were determined to stop her generous gift. The back lash against us was furious. We held firm for quite awhile until Mr M said he was done with this shit and asked a parent (who was an accountant that had shown interest being the PTA treasurer ) to take the task because " his work was taking too much of his time at the moment". He stroked her ego stating she was eminently more qualified for the job than he. She took the bait and we high fived it out of there. The free lunch was instituted.

Just as a final note. The school now is financially unstable and Mrs Progressive was dumped and divorced by her husband citing irreconcilable differences. I hear he fled the state.

Why... you meanies!  How horrible you were to those teachers and staff who were just trying to give everything they could to help (indoctrinate and undo the damage you undoubtably have done over the years to) your children!!!1! A free lunch would have meant SO MUCH to them!!!1!  And it would have taken SO LITTLE to make that happen!!!  But no, you didn't CARE!  Bad, bad, evil conservatives!  I seriously don't know how you SLEEP at night!!11!!

(How'd I do?)

But seriously, you were quite restrained in what you reported in the first post.  Mr. Miffed made a terrific decision to give up the post, even though it meant watching future poor decisions, which would have been frustrating unless he could just let it all go.  I hope your girls were out of there by the time the school became insolvent.  

And at least Mr. Progressive is finally free.  A happy ending for someone, so there is that.

Meanwhile I'm sure the Venezuelo gold that was repatriated is safely tucked away in new Marxist scum bag's personal vault.

The Venezuelan people are in a perpetual crash scenario and they haven't learned anything yet. Maybe they are powerless to prevent it even. (Gee that sounds familiar...) I'm afraid the vunnables will do the same thing here. Best to get what you can out of here before the door is completely slammed and they just take it out right.

That's a key/root issue/problem with Oblahblah -- he's just an idealist and doesn't want to be bothered with the messy implementation details.  He's "above that".  But now it's ripping apart his signature policy and ruining his legacy as a president.  He's truly inept and so far in over his head. 

Romney would have been such a better president.  He realizes that success (regardless of the project) is dependent on the messy details and is a great working, get-into-the-trenches type of leader.

After Dec 1, the dumbcrats will have a reckoning. That's when they will realize the website is still a clusterfuck, and 0zer0 is incapable of doing anything about it. More importantly, they will also realize that 0zer0 can't be trusted. At that point the sea change will occur. Because govt is full of sociopaths, they will simply shift focus to protecting themselves at all costs. It will no longer be about "trying to fix 0zer0care" because they will realize that it can't be fixed. Instead, it will be all about finding someone to blame. They have already tried to blame the repugs, IT contractors, and the Insurance Companies, and that has all failed. 0zer0 himself will be the target after Dec 1. It's already started. Bill Clinton saying 0zer0 should keep his promise was the first salvo. The second salvo was the 30 odd dumbcrats breaking ranks to support the Repug "keep you plan bill". These articles are just another salvo. The dumbcrat civil war is about to go full bore in a couple of weeks. It's the sociopath way.

Yes! I know just what you mean and I fear that too.  

That's especially a concern as people get increasingly desperate as their healthcare, or more especially that of their loved ones gets interrupted over the next year.  Say a parent who has to watch their child deal with new pediatric oncologists they don't think are adequate or a spouse who watches his wife not get the care he knows she needs.

more like obfuscation and misdirection.  see what Barry's doing now?  he's asking the insurance companies to break the law, and when they can't or won't, he blames them for everyone's insurance problems.   political scheming 101.

Perhaps Barry would like to try and re-attach the dollar to silver, and give the monetary power back to the treasury, like JFK was?  Just another puppet for the status quo.

Okay, for those who have not read this before:

http://www.freedomforceinternational.org/freedomcontent.cfm?fuseaction=jfkmyth

"The proponents of the JFK Myth assert that Kennedy was assassinated because he was about to issue Silver Certificates, thereby denying the bankers their customary interest payments on the nation's currency. However, the reality was just the opposite. Previously, the President could have issued Silver Certificates on his own authority; but, with the signing of EO 11110, he delegated that authority to the Secretary of the Treasury. At that time, the Secretary of the Treasury was Douglas Dillon from a well-known and powerful banking family. That means Kennedy surrendered the power to issue Silver Certificates and gave it to a member of the banking fraternity who could do with it as he pleased "without the approval, ratification, or other action of the President." Dillon, of course, would have strong motive to preserve the dominance of Federal Reserve Notes. The theory that Kennedy was getting ready to issue Silver Certificates is without evidence or logic."

This is not coming from me, but from G. Edward Griffin, who penned TCFJI.  A very interesting read.

Joe Kennedy was one of the original inside traders.  Thats why they made him inaugural chair of the SEC.  He knew where the bodies were buried, and who was 'in the club', and who was 'infringing on the [cartel's] territory'.

And what do you know, when Prohibition ended, the Kennedy's made a fortune by being exclusive agents for Dewar's Scotch whiskey (among others).

Another interesting factoid: There's a picture of George Bush leaning against the Texas Book Depository, I believe, taken on the day JFK was killed.

But George Bush says he can't remember where he was on the day JKF was shot.

Anyone here never see this (film shot prior to the Zapruder film):?

Although death may not be a bad alternative at this point, killing him makes him a martyr to his cronies and socialists everywhere and is a terrible strategy.  Allowing the obama to simmer in this mess he created for the rest of his presidency is the ultimate payback for his insolence.  He has countless scandals, malfeasance, cronyism, ineptitude and failure as his legacy.  His poll numbers will be in the high 20s once the employer mandate of his ACA is enforced before mid-term elections, and will leave office in disgrace with record low approval ratings.

ACA = not your usual clusterfuck... I don't have to work and beginning to think the Free Shit is starting to add up based on Income. Free medical, free food, not sure about Section-8 housing voucher.. I have a buddy who is looking at going the "full disability" route. Its not that I hate my business, its just the cost/benefit is starting to skew in the direction of joining the Free Shit Army. Aca should have never passed, never been funded and been repealed long ago. The gov't is broken - USSA stats and projections are just a string of lies. I would guess Obomber has told the insurers to squeeze the premiums down as much as possible - in a few years my medical insurance will equal a $250k to $300k mortgage payment.

If I could, QQQBall, I'd give you 1000 up-votes for your comment. I decided long ago to not participate in ACA, at all, and am thinking of not filing income taxes after my 2013 return this year. I will never become one of the FSA, though the welfare state is rapidly gaining traction. What's worse, in my mind, are the millions of public employees, fed, state and local, who are worthless shits making HUGE paychecks and spending it on worthless shit, all the while driving real estate prices back up.

I looked at some $300-500,000 homes, just for kicks, and decided they're worth nowhere near their asking prices. I suppose a couple of teachers making $100,000 each (not unusual) would buy such crap. They will become the next victims of mortgage default.

RE needs to drop another 30% almost everywhere, to be reasonably valued, but the Fed won't let it happen. I'd love to see them taper, Wall Street completely freak out and the economy go into the tank. I'm 60, lived a good life, want to get out of the matrix. Agenda 21 is coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Fuck Obama, congress, all govt. employees. Bring on the torches, pitchforks, boiled rope and loaded shotguns. This crap has become unbearable.

I am not talking about stuff like not filing, which I think is bad juu juu. I am just saying as taxes and expenses rise and I get older and have less life left, I think it is getting close to the point where you shelter whatever income you can, and you just pull the plug on earned income. As I understand it, the ACA is based upon income - Ihave no debt, no bills, no nada and I live frugally. So, If I get free ACA, I offset the $10k/year premium I am looking at; A section-8 voucher for even a crappy 1br is prolly $900 here; toss in SNAP and whatever else is vailable and you talking $25k a year coming in via Free Shit Armey - now what does someone with no writeoffs earning over $150k to $200k a year pay in Fed, State and Local taxes? My buddy will get disability andwork under the table and earn more than he does now with less risk since the disability shows up every month or 2 weeks or whatever. The gov't is creating and has creasted an huge disincentive against working...

I am in strong favor of a snitch-reward program for catching people like your buddy who leach off of the taxpayers.

I suggest that supplying incriminating evidence of people perpetrating all types of welfare fraud should result in loss of benefits and criminal punishment while rewarding citizen watchdogs monetarily.

Now, I'm not in favor of nazi-like eating their own behavior but of solid, proven fraud against the People's extorted monies. This is one way to begin to downsize the Free Shit Army. And this disability practice is HUGE with retired law enforcement, firefighters etc. Heroes? Fuck'em they're ZEROES!

I am torn between complete boredom (the markets suck, silver keeps going down and I'm waiting for the BofA lawyer to offer me a cash price or cash for keys on the foreclosure I've been living in rent free for 4 1/2 years) and perfect outrage (is there anywhere in the USA where one can buy a piece of land without restrictions? I want 2-8 acres upon which I will place a camper, a shed, a solar array and grow some crops, but such land seems impossible to find. The latest fiasco is in SC, 3 1/2 acres, secluded, abutting the Enoree river, but the Zoning Nazis say I can park a camper there - for a night - but not occupy it, no shed, all unless I build a home, or put up a mobile and connect to all public utilities. Fuckers!)

So, I come to ZH, and after encountering browser crashes, slow loads and a zillion ads, now I'm getting the slow script warning, thanks to the Charles Schawb ad at the foot of the page. I suggest the Tylers begin placing ads between comments or maybe WITHIN them, like THIS. That way, more MONEY!

SC is riddled with rules.  Think eastern TN, lots of places in Arkansas that would fly.  One of my employees father lives in south arkansas and has five campers near a river that he rents out.  If you own 10 acres in arkansas you can do whatever you please concerning a septic tank, series of 55 gallon drums or whatever.  A good well is around $8k, then you've got solar.  10 acres in rural parts of AR can be had for $15k in a lot of parts.  A bud just bought 24 for $20k close to lousiana.

Hubby & I have 6 acres in northeastern Tennessee. It's nice & remote, but there are restrictions on size of house (and yeah, no campers).  No restrictions on gardening or raising livestock though. Unrestricted land in eastern Tenn. is very pricey - generally $10,000 per acre or more, but there is still some nice remote stuff.
