Meme alert:

IT'S STILL A "PUBLIC OPTION".

"Americans will face steep premiums under the government-negotiated private plans and massive expansion of Medicare at the core of Harry Reid's new “public option.” A family of four making $54,000 would pay more than $825 per month for one federally-managed plan — that even after a $10,100 government subsidy.

A 55-year-old couple buying into the Medicare expansion could pay $15,200 per year under the Reid plan, and it remains unclear how much if any of that cost would be subsidized. The Medicare buy-in would only be available to individuals 55-and-over, not younger family members, and it would be attached to premium and financing structures separate from the rest of Medicare, with no cap on out-of-pocket expenses.

And these, alas, are only the direct costs of the bill."

IS GOOGLE SEARCH SUDDENLY CENSORING "CLIMATEGATE"?

I'm not sure this is accurate, but, for the past few weeks I was impressed that "climategate" was the first suggestion when typing "climate" at google. In fact, I could type "clim" and "climategate" would be the top result. Now, today, not only is climategate nowhere to be found, but it remains missing as a suggestion EVEN AFTER typing in the entire word "climategate". Is this something just on my local machine or are others seeing the same thing? Bing is doing the same thing as google when just a week ago they also suggested "climategate" when just typing "climate"... 

8 A 55-year-old couple buying into the Medicare expansion could pay $15,200 per year under the Reid plan

It will be interesting to see where all the money for this "plan" is going. The stated purpose of the health scam bill is to introduce "competition" in the insurance field. Charging 15K a year for a 55 y.o. couple is no competition that I can see.

There must be a lot of payoffs to unions and other Dem special interest groups.

...then when they have no money to help their kid pay college tuition (and kid won't qualify for grants because the parents "make too much money") they've got another sob story (and another vote) for the "government should supply free[sic] post-secondary education to all" meme/plan, another Barry campaign theme.

What industries won't be completely subsidized/controlled/regulated into disappearance by the federal government by 2016? 

16 NYT's "Games To Avoid" an Ironic, Perfect Gamer Wish List The New York Times is here to help. In a recent article provokingly titled 'Ten Games to Cross off Your Child's Gift List,' the NYT names its list of big bads — the video games so foul, so gruesome, so perverse that we'd recommend you buy them immediately — for yourself. I wonder what kind of game the NYT would endorse? It's probably the type where there a no winners or losers. Because we know that having a winner disenfranchises the losers (boo f'n hoo). Everyone's a winner! Yeah.

25 I wonder if those free range chickens know how to fist??

26 IS GOOGLE SEARCH SUDDENLY CENSORING "CLIMATEGATE"? It could be because it's search popularity is decreasing. Now that the media has FINALLY discovered this story, people don't need to search for it as much. Google Trends

That dress will lead to the Earth being discovered by a race of hostile aliens. It will reflect all radio and lazer signals within  500 light years of Earth.

37 I've got to question blog awards that don't include American Thinker.

38

Imagine wearing a dress like that outside in say, Las Vegas or Phoenix in the middle of July arond 2pm.

Probably the equivilent of setting off a car-bomb.

39 I would like to make a comment about Obama's speech,  which apparently a lot of conservative pundits and such are praising.

People need to go read that speech.  He says that the US goes to war for "enlightened self-interest."  He equates Islamic terrorists with the Crusades.  He makes it sound like Reagan was a Gorbachev supporter, which he was not.  There is lots more stuff in that speech that should raise red flags.

It was a cleverly crafted speech with Bush atmospherics and Obama history-twisting and subtly undermining America.  

It was the speech equivalent of his praising Hillary Clinton while scratching his face with his middle finger.

40 HeatherRadish,

That dress reminds me of Spanish revival velvet sofas of the 1970's (The Era of Bad Taste). 

Also,  if you look at all of the press photos,  you can see that all of the other women were in tailored suits or business-type dresses, not some godawful glow-in-the-dark fabrics suitable only for evening wear.

Apparently the statement she is making is "I am the real queen.  Look at my golden awfulness and despair."

42 the effing effers at work have blocked this blog's comment threads with effing Websense. I can read the blog, but when I click on 'new comments thingie' I run bang up against effing websense. I suppose I could burn down the effing building.

It's so effed up.

43 When doing your Christmas cards, take one and send it to this address: A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center 6900 Georgia Avenue NW; Washington, D.C. 20307. If we pass this on, think of how many cards these wonderful special people would get.

44 #33. trying to find the words myself.  There are only so many times you can comment that M.O. has absolutely no fashion sense. 

Funny article, though. 

45   @38.  I second that.

46 Apparently the statement she is making is "I am the real queen.  Look at my golden awfulness and despair."

Yeah.  I don't get it--granny's sweater over lame?  (That's la-MAY, although it does work the other way, doesn't it...)  And no ammo belt?

Liberace would never wear granny's sweater to a show...mostly because his livelihood depended on giving his audience a good product.  He had to pay his "servants" out of his own pocket...

47 So that's where my wardrobe got to. 

48 I don't get it--granny's sweater over lame?

Whoever's advising her to wear those sweaters must be a closet Republican. 

49 On FNC's frontpage they have a pic of Baucus.  Well some chick is standing next to him that looks like she has a magic bullet in her squeakhole.

Is that his g-friend?

51 With regard to the right-wing blog awards: While the blog was voted not as funny as last year, the number of 5000 word rants were up 50%. So all is well.

52 Guys...

How is it possible that AoSHQ hasn't covered Fistgate yet?

If there were ever a scandal just made for this blog, it's Fistgate.

Might this be the first scandal that Ace will have to close comments on pre-emptively?

It just might be.  It just might be.

53 IMAO stopped being as funny as this blog quite a long time ago.  I miss "the Rumsfeld Strangler".

RE 44:

Thank you for posting that. I'll make sure it's on my card list.

55 Ace, Nobody is funnier than Iowahawk. Nobody. We still love you* but you ain't that funny. * Of course I mean that in a completely heteronormative and manly way. Well nothing actually gay, anyway. Is handjobs gay?

Who Is To Blame For US And Global Economic Meltdown

 

In 1995 at the request of Obama and ACORN the Clinton administration revised the Community Reinvestment Act to permit sub-prime loans for high risk low income home loan candidates.  The Clinton administration then via the Federal Reserve made trillions of dollars available to Fannie and Freddie for lending to these high risk low income home loan candidates.  ACORN and the Clinton administration then pushed Fannie and Freddie to boost their lending to these high risk low income loan candidates while Barney Frank Chairman of Financial Services Committee rejected any attempt by the Bush Administration to increase banking and financial institution regulations.

 

In 2001, sub-prime loans totaled $330 billion, or about 15% of all loans.  By 2005, they had reached $1.4 trillion, or 48%.  Fannie and Freddie owned or guaranteed more than half of the nations $12 trillion in home mortgages.  By 2006 they reached near 70% - a record.  But it came at a price.  With the trillions of money in circulation the Federal Reserve had to control inflation by increasing the prime interest rates in 2004 through 2006.   The sub prime adjustable mortgage interest rates therefore increased exponentially.  As a result the low income high risk homeowners increasingly couldnÂ’t make their adjustable mortgage payments.  The housing industry fell apart and many banks were left holding billions in underwater mortgages.  Home prices fell, and homeowners suddenly found themselves with no more equity to borrow on.  The low income high risk homeowners that paid “little to nothing down” had no downside risk preventing them from walking and the resulting foreclosures.  With the trillions of dollars from the government, Fannie and Freddie now redefined as government owned institutions were also left holding trillions of dollars in underwater loans.  So what did they do but warehouse the underwater loans and sold them to global banks and investment institutions.

 

Important to note: The banks and financial institutions that were “to big to fail” and targeted with nearly $1 trillion in government bailout (TARP) money were the same banks and institutions ACORN and the Clinton administration pressured to boost lending to high risk low income home loan candidates! 

 

In summary, the governments failure to influence adequate banking and financial regulatory regulations led to the home foreclosures, which caused bank cash flow problems, which caused banks freezing all loans, which caused business cash flow problems, which caused layoffs, which caused more foreclosures, which caused more banks freezing loans, which caused more business cash flow problems, which caused even more layoffs, which caused even more foreclosures, which caused even more Â…Â…Â…

 

As for solutions;

1) Replace the current income tax system with spending tax system

2) Eliminate adjustable mortgage/loans

3) Require at minimum 10% down to qualify for home loans

4) Implement tax cuts

5) Implement severe penalties for white collar crimes

6) Eliminate spending earmarks

7) Eliminate the Federal Reserve practice of printing non-secured money

Ensure all budgets include funding proposals and business plans

9) Anything that does what a bank does and has to be bailed out because they're too big to fail must be regulated like a bank 

10) The one unanswered question is who regulates the regulators?
