Sure Sifo, here goes.

Economy is actually turning around as I expected it would. It would be turning faster if more stimulus had been done but that is the fault of the Republicans. Debt is not a problem in the short term. Money us free to borrow for us at the moment, Fix our infrastructure NOW while borrowing costs are low. Wait until the economy is booming and not only will borrowing costs be higher but we risk inflation.
The republicans say they would have simply let the auto industry fold up and go away. Not that the very structured bankruptcy that occurred was perfect but is was a dam sight better than a conventional bankruptcy would have been.
Taking the regulations off and allowing business to do as they please would be disastrous. Not that all regulations are good and they don’t need a good going over but what I hear the Republicans saying is toss them all out.
Health care will be better, repealing the ACA would not help one bit. Ryan’s Medicare “fix” is not a fix. We spend double per capita what the next country spends on HC. We don’t get double the health care than the Swiss. The “market” can’t fix it because the “market” is broken. It needs to be fixed.
Immigration reform is needed, building a wall is not immigration reform.
I don’t want the wacko’s like Aikin and Murdoch screwing with my wife and daughters health.
Way too many wackos in the Republican party, see above for two examples and toss in Grover Norquist who is a real piece of work. Plenty others.
Romney is an idiot on foreign policy.
I could go on. I would be wasting my time. O is not a socialist, he is not even a liberal Democrat. The camps are not being prepared to lock you up. The Constitution is not being raped.

Obama is the pied piper and his soldiers are dumb robot sheep.

Reaching out to get the vote.... (women/youth).... and getting it at any means possible...and winning it... is a great feat... but it certainly does not mean it was the right choice for getting us out of this mess.

Who were those harrycrishna happygo lucky goofballs dancing behind Obama during his crappy meaningless acceptance speech? Funny thing when the camera panned back and you saw the other 80% of Obama supporters in the arena standing there looking like frozen miserable zombies saying to themselves ..."wth did we just do?!?!?". (on the floor) I wonder how much did those yooth dancers in the bleachers cost? But... it looked preety good.

And here it comes, the very next day after the Shining O is enshrined for another four years.

'Value in health care delivery is an important concept when thinking about high-value, cost-conscious care. Value is the relationship between the quality of care provided (numerator) and the costs of delivering the care (denominator). Owens, et al, in their concept paper determined value by “an assessment of the benefit of an intervention relative to expenditures.”

Harvard Business School, Michael Porter relates quality and cost with a simple and useful definition of value: “…the health outcomes achieved per dollar spent,” and that “outcomes, the numerator of the value equation, are inherently condition-specific.”

If outcomes are condition-specific, ACOs will have to become learning organizations with the expertise to evaluate the evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of a given condition in order to determine whether an intervention for that condition is the right intervention (or not) to meet the patient’s value goals — quality and cost — and the value goals of the ACO and Medicare, which must be met in order to share in the savings. As learning organizations, ACOs will need to incorporate comparative effectiveness research (CER) and cost effectiveness analysis into the routine work flow of the ACO — a sea change in the manner that we now reach decisions in patient care.

Accountability in accountable care will require ACOs and their components, such as medical homes, to routinely assess and report, through performance measures, the quality and costs of the care provided. The National Quality Forum (NQF) sponsored a recent report by Schneider and colleagues at the Rand Corporation titled Payment Reform: Analysis of Models and Performance Measurement Implications.

High-value, cost-conscious care is a team sport. All the members of the accountable organization responsible for the delivery of care — patients, physicians, hospitals, employers, insurers, and others — must share the common objective of high quality and affordable care and share in the rewards of delivering such care if health care reform is to be successful.'

John Tooker, MD, MBA, MACP

Warned, you were.
Enjoy it.

Money us free to borrow for us at the moment, Fix our infrastructure NOW while borrowing costs are low. Wait until the economy is booming and not only will borrowing costs be higher but we risk inflation.

This has been going for over 4 years now (it was started by GWB after all). BO put it on steroids. QE failed. QE2 failed. We are now in the midst of QE3 and the growth we are getting is less than what we need to keep even with young people wanting to enter the work force. I'm not at all clear how you think the Republicans are at fault for the failing of this, especially in the first two years. BO was able to bulldoze his agenda right through with control of both the house and senate.

Inflation BTW is happening now. It's not a risk, it's a reality. It will get worse in the near future.

How does the economy boom when you are planning to strangle business with taxes and new regulations? Any growth that is happening and going to happen is despite these policies, not because of them. Have you ever seen the stats on how much each new job has cost us under this stimulus policy? It's cheaper to simply redistribute the cash!

The republicans say they would have simply let the auto industry fold up and go away. Not that the very structured bankruptcy that occurred was perfect but is was a dam sight better than a conventional bankruptcy would have been.

False statement. They would have gone through bankruptcy and survived. Ford certainly survived without bankruptcy and is doing quite well considering the economic conditions. Foreign auto makers operating in the US also have fared pretty well.

It's a nice talking point, but doesn't hold up well.

Taking the regulations off and allowing business to do as they please would be disastrous. Not that all regulations are good and they don’t need a good going over but what I hear the Republicans saying is toss them all out.

Another blatantly false statement. Who has even floated the idea of removing ALL regulations?

Health care will be better, repealing the ACA would not help one bit. Ryan’s Medicare “fix” is not a fix. We spend double per capita what the next country spends on HC. We don’t get double the health care than the Swiss. The “market” can’t fix it because the “market” is broken. It needs to be fixed.

What was done in ACA to improve health care? It dealt only with how it's paid for, and the costs are going up faster than ever. We spend more on HC here because there's profit in better medicine. How much have the Swiss advanced medicine? The are followers in the field, and we are about to become followers too. The problem is that there's virtually no to follow at that point. It would be a simple thing to provide medicine at 1950's costs (inflation adjusted of course). You simply give 1950's quality care. That is what is about to happen, just at 2010's levels of care.

Immigration reform is needed, building a wall is not immigration reform.

Neither is legalizing illegals and providing them with benefits. Actually a wall would work far better.

I don’t want the wacko’s like Aikin and Murdoch screwing with my wife and daughters health.

Aikin is gone. Murdoch? So you are in favor of killing unborn humans. We will have to disagree on that one. It's just wrong.

Way too many wackos in the Republican party, see above for two examples and toss in Grover Norquist who is a real piece of work. Plenty others.
Romney is an idiot on foreign policy.


Democrats have far more wackos as long as you want to get into name calling. I can probably name more just from the west coast than you can justify being upset with from the Reps.

Obama is a proven idiot on foreign policy. Care discuss known facts or just trade name calling?

O is not a socialist, he is not even a liberal Democrat. The camps are not being prepared to lock you up. The Constitution is not being raped.

Marxist is probably more accurate. There's plenty of evidence available. We'll see about the camps. I hope you're right. The Constitution, as well as BO's oath of office have clearly been violated numerous times. It is plainly clear at this point that BO's actions in covering up the events in Benghazi, are by definition, traitorous.

I could go on. I would be wasting my time.

I'm sure you won't. Spitting out obviously false talking point is a waste of time. I'll take the time to refute them though. The rest I'm will to have a rational discussion on.

Money us free to borrow for us at the moment, Fix our infrastructure NOW while borrowing costs are low.

I'm sorry but that is just horribly incorrect. Sadly I think most americans feel as you do and it is a very dangerous approach to our future.

Stimulus does not create jobs in the private sector. Stimulus does not spur the economy beyond the short time frame the money is available to spend. After that the jobs go away and we are right where we were in the beginning.

To say the Debt is not a problem is just, I don't know how to say it less bluntly, is just horribly naive. It's not a made up number. We owe our debtors that money. We are now borrowing money to pay back the people that we borrowed from before. And we are taking an additional trillion dollar spending deficit onto that. That is an unsustainable and very dangerous financial model.

Just look at Greece. Right now our Debt per person is 35% higher than Greece's. 35% higher and they have out of control inflation, unemployment at 25%, riots in the street due to protests against austerity measures and on and on.

You are fooling yourself if you think we are not vulnerable to the same outcome. Already other countries, including our debtors, have talked about removing as the US dollar as the benchmark for their currencies. If that happens we will lose our ability to manipulate the value of our own currency. Then all they need to do is stop buying our debt and the value of our dollar plummets, inflation skyrockets and we are all in a world of hurt.

Did you ever try to look beyond calling them gullible to why you aren't reaching them?

I'm asking constantly.


Sifo, is this really the response to my question? Is that all you have to say on that? No detail?

What about the rest of the GOP? You guys are failing and have FAILED at getting those votes. As has also been said in here. You lost some of the woman vote as well. We know why. Hell, if some of you guys had your way some forms of birth control would be illegal. Hell of a way to go about it. Heck, I give you credit for sticking to your guns on things, but man. Talk about a group that is shrinking. You mention that the GOP was taken by the far right. Yeah, I think they were with some of the nonsense I've seen posted from them just in this thread.

Again, congratulations on alienating over half of the country.

George Bush had already signed in on the auto bail out, so dont try saying the republicans had wanted the auto ind to to "go away" Obama got in office and changed the stipulations in favor of big unions and screwed all the smaller companies. Here in Detroit were I live dozens of Chrysler dealers were forced and chosen by the government to close and give their profitable business to their competition down the street. Romneys plan was to have a structured bankruptcy, which would have probably been just as well without the uaw getting the major portion of the shares, or the tax payers on the hook.
As for 39% of the women voting on abortion, all I can say is the dems did a great job of fooling a lot of women that their right to an abortion will be taken away under republicans.Flat out lie. As it is abortions are legal up 6 months,and in many cases the life of the mother is not at stake. Abortion should not be a form of birth control, but unfortunatley it has come to that. }2% growth is not a recovery,7.9 unempolyment is not on the way to a recovery.

Cataract2, It was a yes or no question.

Did you ever try to look beyond calling them gullible to why you aren't reaching them?

I'll expand... I'm asking constantly. They refuse to engage in dialog that allows for an actual exchange of ideas.

Hell, if some of you guys had your way some forms of birth control would be illegal.

Absolutely false. This is the other tactic of discussion with the left. The constantly misrepresent their opponents position. Who has ever proposed making any form of birth control illegal, other than abortion. I would love to have a real discussion about abortion and how wrong it is. It just never happens. At least not rationally though. Also the fact show that those supporting abortion are a shrinking segment of the population. It will take time, but eventually we will recognize abortion as the infanticide that it is. Your "solution" to this seems to be to just go along with the infanticide for political gain. I'd rather go with a more palatable position.

You mention that the GOP was taken by the far right.

You are either confusing me with someone else, or again misstating my position. The GOP is far to spineless.

Sifo, I have to disagree but then I am a pretty comitted Keynesian. I think his theories have held up well even if they haev not always been applied as he would have wanted.

In a serious economic downturn the governmetn generates debt to create short turn employment until the economy cna correct itself. then you pay the debt back. Of course Clinton is the only recent Prez who was interested in paying it back; ) and that is a problem. But shrinking governtment spending in the teeth of a reduction of spending in the rest of the economy is madness. We can't elimnate recessions BUT we can keep depressions at bay.

I'm just curious where and when you think Keynesian has ever worked. Japan tried the same economics and called it the lost decade. That's where we are now. That's pretty much what we had coming out of the depression back in the '30s. Contrast that to the policies of Kenedy, Reagan, and initially at least, Bush. All examples of the Laffer curve in effect.

The problem is that when the government stops spending on job creation, you get instant unemployment. It's just another form of government dependence.

This only works if it is done in conjunction with policies that spur investment in the private sector that creates jobs. Obama is either unwilling or unable to do anything that creates jobs in the private sector.

This is another fallacy that gets repeated way to often. Clinton had no interest in controlling spending. That was only a result of them losing control of the house, and therefore budget control.

I just got this email. Judge Napolitano says it quite well. He seems a bit more upbeat about the possibility of recovering from this than I am. If BO did so bad with the mess he inherited, how well do you think he will do with the mess he created?


quote:

Napolitano: Four More Unsettling Years

By Andrew P. Napolitano November 7, 2012 12:15 pm



Only in America can a president who inherits a deep recession and whose policies have actually made the effects of that recession worse get re-elected. Only in America can a president who wants the bureaucrats who can't run the Post Office to micromanage the administration of every American's health care get re-elected. Only in America can a president who kills Americans overseas who have never been charged or convicted of a crime get re-elected. And only in America can a president who borrowed and spent more than $5 trillion in fewer than four years, plans to repay none of it and promises to borrow another $5 trillion in his second term get re-elected.

What's going on here?

What is going on is the present-day proof of the truism observed by Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, who rarely agreed on anything in public: When the voters recognize that the public treasury has become a public trough, they will send to Washington not persons who will promote self-reliance and foster an atmosphere of prosperity, but rather those who will give away the most cash and thereby create dependency. This is an attitude that, though present in some localities in the colonial era, was created at the federal level by Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt, magnified by FDR, enhanced by LBJ, and eventually joined in by all modern-day Democrats and most contemporary Republicans.

Mitt Romney is one of those Republicans. He is no opponent of federal entitlements, and he basically promised to keep them where they are. Where they are is a cost to taxpayers of about $1.7 trillion a year. Under President Obama, however, the costs have actually increased, and so have the numbers of those who now receive them. Half of the country knows this, and so it has gleefully sent Obama back to office so he can send them more federal cash taken from the other half.

It is fair to say that Obama is the least skilled and least effective American president since Jimmy Carter, but he is far more menacing. His every instinct is toward the central planning of the economy and the federal regulation of private behavior. He has no interest in protecting American government employees in harm's way in Libya, and he never admits he has been wrong about anything. Though he took an oath to uphold the Constitution, he treats it as a mere guideline, whose grand principles intended to guarantee personal liberty and a diffusion of power can be twisted and compromised to suit his purposes. He rejects the most fundamental of American values -- that our rights come from our Creator, and not from the government. His rejection of that leads him to an expansive view of the federal government, which permits it, and thus him, to right any wrong, to regulate any behavior and to tax any event, whether authorized by the Constitution or not, and to subordinate the individual to the state at every turn.

As a practical matter, we are in for very difficult times during Obama's second term. Obamacare is now here to stay; so, no matter who you are or how you pay your medical bills, federal bureaucrats will direct your physicians in their treatment of you, and they will see your medical records. As well, Obama is committed to raising the debt of the federal government to $20 trillion. So, if the Republican-controlled House of Representatives goes along with this, as it did during Obama's first term, the cost will be close to $1 trillion in interest payments every year. As well, everyone's taxes will go up on New Year's Day, as the Bush-era tax cuts will expire then. The progressive vision of a populace dependent on a central government and a European-style welfare state is now at hand.

Though I argued during the campaign that this election was a Hobson's choice between big government and bigger government, and that regrettably it addressed how much private wealth the feds should seize and redistribute and how much private behavior they should regulate, rather than whether the Constitution permits them to do so, and though I have argued that we have really one political party whose two branches mirror each other's wishes for war and power, it is unsettling to find Obama back in the White House for another four years. That sinking feeling comes from the knowledge that he is free from the need to keep an eye on the electorate, and from the terrible thought that he may be the authoritarian we have all known and feared would visit us one day and crush our personal freedoms.
