Now Obama wants to cut spending on Medicare and Medicaid!

Wow. You can’t help but to laugh at the news coming out of Washington DC these days. Because if you don’t laugh, you’ll end up crying.

In addition to the $600 billion in tax increases (that Obama promised would not happen), we now learn that the Obama administration plans to cut spending on Medicare and Medicaid!

For those who aren’t aware, Medicare covers the elderly (over 65) and the disabled, while Medicaid covers the poor and under 65.

The president suggests trimming federal payments to hospitals by about $200 billion over the next 10 years, saying greater efficiencies and broader insurance coverage will justify the change. Hospitals, especially those with many poor patients, say the proposed cuts are unfair and will harm the sick and elderly. [link]

How can Obama justify cutting spending on those two much-needed federal programs, while at the same time suggesting that 50 million Americans need insurance?

Naturally, the nation’s hospitals that treat the majority of poor, disabled, homeless and elderly Americans are not happy with Obama’s proposed changes.

And Congress into buying into Obama’s health plan either because, for one, it’s prohibitively expensive ($2.5 trillion). Some lawmakers suggest taxing the health benefits that YOU currently receive from your employer to pay for the 50 million uninsured Americans.

Last week Obama announced another $635 billion in planned tax increases, a plan that isn’t sitting too well with some members of the House.

House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said Medicare and Medicaid need reform, “but serious changes should not be rushed through Congress as part of a new government-run program that will raise taxes and make health care more expensive.” READ MORE…

    Didn’t read the post, but wanted to say good-morning to all!

    I also feel so bad for Tameka Raymond, with so many HATERS out there her relationship was doomed from the start. It’s sad that two people can’t love each w/o the world getting involved to hate! So sad…..another black marriage ending in divorce.

    Did you listen to Gary with a “T”? He basically said that being Tameka was Usher’s stylist she was feeling on him(molesting) him he also had words for Beyonce and her song “Ego”. I heard that song yesterday and thought “no she didn’t”.

    #2, the relationship was doomed from the start because of how it became “a relationship.” she was married, he was in a relationship. no one hated on their relationship/marriage. personally, i couldn’t understand how she would leave a husband for another man. then i reminded myself usher’s empires worth 20+million dollars.

    shyt happens. she’ll move on, threaten to write a book, etc. she’ll ask for upwards of $45,000 a month and the mansion, ya know. you can’t obtain anything with an ill will and expect it to last or flourish. come on now.

    #4 u crazy. haha. i said the same thing though. being the stylist, she was hleping him dress, undress, shift his wood around so it would snug, etc. hell, i wouldve too. i’d be lyin if I claimed to remain professional. then one of those nights when he griped one time too much bout chilli, she swooped on in and made her moved–probably cooked him dinner, sucked the skin off his dyck three times, massaged him in his sleep, and had a hot bath waiting the next morning. he was in like, really really like.

    Does anyone have any idea why she left her husband? It’s funny how everyone assumes she just up and left her husband for Usher…her husband is also a public figure, yet he has never came out and confirmed any of this speculation! The groping is “too funny”, but not hated on….PAAAALEEEEESSSSE!! Everyone hated her because she snagged Usher and wasn’t the typical model type, had 3 children already and was in the midst of getting a divorce! I think it’s sad!! I’m sure she thought about living comfortable getting with Usher, but she wasn’t anything close to broke or busted prior to Usher….anyway everyone is entitled to their opinions and this is mine…I think it’s sad to see another black couple getting a divorce…I wish they could have made it work!!

    Unless a man is purposely trying to hurt his mother, most men will not marry a woman his mother does not like.
