Jon Stewart: Congress Acting Like "A Bunch Of A**holes"

Jon Stewart: Congress Acting Like "A Bunch Of A**holes"

Couldn't have put it any better myself Mr. Stewart..What a bunch of A$$holes indeed!

Even better, one of the Congressmen from my home state of Iowa fully makes an ass of himself..Which is what happens everytime he opens his mouth so nothing really new there..Embarrassing the great state of Iowa with his every breath, thanks Mr. King!

CBO: Supreme Court Decision Lowers Obamacare Costs

CBO: Supreme Court Decision Lowers Obamacare Costs

To be honest this announcement by the Congressional Budget Office is a bit surprising to me anyway but hey, some actual GOOD news from that recent Supreme Court decision is hardly anything to scoff at..

And if the President had any sense he would be yelling about this little tidbit from the roof-top of the White House..We shall see.

SPOILER ALERT: He MAY have been taken out of context..just maybe. Still waiting for a political news story to actually "surprise" me with something original, politicians are such predictable creatures!

Heathcare Law may be a Tax, but just how BIG?

There has been much talk lately about the recent Supreme Court decision on the Healthcare "Reform" law passed by Congress several years ago, better known as "Obamacare" (a term I honestly don't much care for). The main focus was the surprise move by Chief Justice Roberts being the swing vote and upholding the constitutionality of the Individual Mandate element of the healthcare law by calling it what many liberals and conservatives have called it from the beginning...A tax.

Regardless, the right-wing of the American political spectrum have had a field day with this decision ever since and many have attempted to now call the healthcare reform law one of the largest tax increases in US history...But according to the good folks at PolitiFact that is not so much the case. Here is their indepth report on the subject:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/jun/28/rush-limbaugh/health-care-law-not-largest-tax-increase-us-histor/

SPOILER ALERT: Long story short, the healthcare reform law ISN'T the biggest tax increase in US history, infact it isn't even close by terms of percentage of GDP. It does however represent the first major tax increase in nearly 20 years.

There are ALOT of things wrong with the final product from that rather ugly chapter in American political discourse, but don't go calling it something it isn't alright folks?
