Callous Conservatives, Time to wake up!

[The Rabbi]

Why is this pointed at conservatives ?

It's both sides that have screwed us.

If you mean the D's screw Wall Street, and the R's screw Main St. I'd be inclined to agree. Wall Street deserves to be screwed, sadly WS owns the Congress thanks to the repeal of the bipartisan effort by FEC to control the money flooding into elections.

Anyone who thinks this is about freedom of speech is a liar or a fool.

The Ds are just as deep in bed with wall street that Rs are.

No, they're not. See:

The House just passed a GOP bill wiping out Wall Street reforms

When StinkProgress fails, MotherCujones is always good for a laugh.

Please excuse Rabbit, He was a hit in the second grade, and never moved beyond:

• Delay the Volcker rule. The Volcker rule—one of the most important bits of Dodd-Frank—generally forbids the high-risk trading by commercial banks that helped cause the financial crisis. One high-risk product banks are supposed to stop trading are collateralized loan obligations, which are bundles of loans that are broken into pieces and sold to investors. In December, the Federal Reserveextended banks' deadline to stop trading CLOs from 2015 to 2017. The Fitzpatrick bill would extend that deadline to 2019.
• Water down rules on private equity firms. Private equity firms are required to register as brokers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) if they get paid for providing investment banking services such as merger advice. Brokers are subject to additional rules and more regulatory oversight. The bill would exempt some private equity firms from having to register as brokers.
• Loosen regs on derivatives. Derivatives are financial instruments with values based on underlying numbers, such as crop prices or interest rates. The Fitzpatrick bill would allow Wall Street firms that own commercial businesses such as oil or gas operations to trade derivatives privately instead of in central clearinghouses, which are subject to more oversight. The bill would also forbid regulators from requiring that banks take collateral from companies that buy derivatives. Collateral can help offset losses if one of the parties involved in the transaction defaults
• Weaken transparency rules. The bill exempts about 60 percent of publicly traded companies from certain rules regarding how those companies must file financial statements with the SEC. The measure would also allow certain smaller companies to omit historical financial data in their financial statements. "This allows firms to choose a convenient history as they promote their securities," the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen noted last week.

Fitzpatrick is a member of the House financial services committee. Between 2013 and 2014, he received more than $310,000 in donations from the finance and banking sector, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Loosening rules, which shouldnt be there to begin with, is not "wiping them out."
See, the problem is you were too busy sucking Mexican cock to learn how to read English.

Seriously? The Republicans Have No Health Plan?

Republicans Don't Have A Plan Yet To Replace Obamacare Subsidies


As the Supreme Court edges closer to issuing an opinion that could deal a blow to the federal health exchange operating in more than 30 states, Democrats have sounded a warning to their colleagues on the other side: Be careful what you wish for.

If GOP lawmakers get the court decision they've been hoping for, it will be up to the Republican-controlled Congress to figure a way out of the mess. After more than 50 votes in the House to repeal either all or parts of the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have yet to unveil a proposal on how to replace the health care law. And they also haven't united around a stopgap plan that would bridge an adverse ruling by the court with the health care policies of the next president.

Republicans in both chambers have been working for months on proposals, but, so far, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — and their respective caucuses — haven't coalesced around a single path forward for the 6.4 million people, who would lose their subsidies should the court rule against the Obama administration in King v. Burwell.

House Republicans Unveil $700B Health Care Plan

WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Wednesday unveiled a $700 billion health care plan that would offer tax credits to help people buy insurance, yet unlike Democratic proposals, wouldn't require either individuals or employers to get coverage.

The GOP plan was drafted by Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., a physician. It avoids expanding the federal role in overseeing the health insurance industry. Unlike Democratic proposals, it would not set up new federally regulated purchasing pools for individuals and small businesses. Instead, it would allow individuals to use the Internet to purchase lower-cost coverage available anywhere in the country. That idea won't please insurance commissioners from states with strong consumer protections, who have argued it will set off a "race to the bottom" that undermines coverage for those in frail health.

The plan would offer tax deductions and tax credits to help make the purchase of health insurance more affordable for individuals. It would provide grants to states to help set up high-risk pools for people with medical problems who are denied coverage by commercial insurers. And it would allow employers to automatically sign workers up for the company's coverage – similar to what's done with 401(k) retirement plans.

Wonderful. The first paragraph puts back the onus of the uninsured on local government, and a return to ER's providing primary care at a greater cost to the taxpayer.

My insurance was cheaper and better before Obama "fixed" it, so why should I care if the onus is on local government?

People were against that plan just like the Dems health care plan.
Even so, 700 billion is cheaper than the Dems at 1.2 Trillion.

Agreed, it's just that I get sick of hearing from the left how Republicans never had a plan.

RIght, because a "plan" always involves a vast expansion in the power of the government and massive amounts of spending.

I'd like to see a Congress, a White House and a new balance in the Supreme Court of men and women of good will, who will read the Preamble as a vision and mission statement and take these words to heart:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

A vision for America and a mission for the Government to implement; anathem to callus conservatives and those who hold true to, "I've got mine, fuck the rest of you".

You just printed a quote "all men are created equal" and then end your post with "I've got mine."

Well if all men are created equal, should it not be up to the individual to be as equal to those that accomplished "I've got mine?" If I got mine, you should be able to get yours as well. That is if we are all created equal.

On the other hand, if we have one party constantly promoting that we are not all created equal, and their mission is to make everybody equal, then obviously they don't believe we are created equal.
