During his weekly Saturday radio address, President Obama announced that he would be seeking another $313 billion Medicare cut, for a total of nearly $950 billion slashed from Medicare and Medicaid over the next ten years.
These are “savings that will rein in unnecessary spending, and increase efficiency and the quality of care, savings that will ensure that we have nearly $950 billion set aside to offset the cost of health-care reform over the next ten years,” he said.
“These savings underscore the fact that securing quality, affordable health care for the American people is tied directly to insisting upon fiscal responsibility.”
Fiscal responsibility? Is that what we’re preaching now? If not for the forbearance of the most fiscally irrresponsible insanity in the history of civilization, we wouldn’t need to cut Medicare or Medicaid at all.
But the fact is, our primary fiscal responsibility is to pay off the interest on the huge debt/deficit stemming from the massive ongoing international bailouts in the absurd theater of the derivatives Casino, where the sum total of the entire USA’s Gross Domestic Product changes hands every three days.
And our fiscal responsibility is to save the jobs of administrative paper pushers in the health care industry who steal trillions of dollars every year by devising schemes to collect insurance premiums without paying doctors or lab technicians or nurses for actual health care, as community hospitals lose their funding and close, and hospital staff lose real productive jobs.
Our fiscal responsibility is to the speculative paper pushers and money changers who prey upon the real physical economy, and the productive work of social services so that they can amass mountains of currency, all the while diluting the dollars in your wallet and bank account, or outright stealing them from your 401K or retirement plan.
Our fiscal responsibility is to the hallmark of the American economy – FINANCE. An industry where nothing is produced but stacks of paper. Nothing is built, nothing is invented, nothing is discovered, nothing is cured, nothing endures.
That is the fiscal responsibility of a Fascist regime.

My comment is not for this particular post. It’s the way I view not only this post but your entire site. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! Our tax dollars has already made these white collar criminals too wealthy already!
But why should they think any different? We’ve bailed out these people several times over the past century. They knew the taxpayers money would come to the rescue when they entered their ‘den of theives’.
