    Default Obamacare passed by Congress...

    [QUOTE=http://www.unitedliberty.org/articles/5339-breaking-house-democrats-pass-obamacare]By a vote of 219 to 212, the House of Representatives passed the Senate version of ObamaCare, which the president signed will law immediately. Thirty-four Democrats broke with their party to oppose the bill.

    The reconciliation package, which fixes issues House Democrats had with the bill, will be voted on next. The reconciliation bill avoids a Republican filibuster.

    Make sure you heading to eastern europe it would suck to be in one of those european hellholes like norway sweden germany or France with their public health care systems and super-oppressive stalinist type governments that want to take your hard earned money and give it to a bunch of brats who can't even afford their healthcare. if the atlantic weren't so big we'd have seen a lot of them in makeshift boats trying to make it over. If there's one good thing about the rise of this hitleresque policy is we won't ever have to worry about them trying to illegally immigrate here because our country will soon be just as bad.

    You do know that most of Europe has government funded healthcare, right?

    European countries aren't dealing with a population count as high as ours, nor an economy as shaky as ours.

    Nor the same health issues from a nation falling apart due to fast food lifestyle and poor health education.

    Prepare For Black Wednesday All Over Again As Europe Looks Like


    This past week has seen Europe swing from one crisis to the next as attention shifted from a flailing Greek government to Portugal's bout with debt.

    At the center of this storm is the European Central Bank which has to make key decisions about how it deals with its Euro member states and whether it is willing to bail them out.

    Europe has not been faced with such a crisis since Black Wednesday, when the exchange rate mechanism which held together the continent's currencies was challenged by a cash rich Geoge Soros and his hedge fund.

    His moves put Britain moments away from meltdown as he short sold the pound to the point where the UK had to exit the agreement or face massive devaluation.

    Now with weak links along its southern underbelly, Europe is doing what it can to preserve countries like Greece and Spain amid sovereign debt crises within those states.

    But the result has only been more uncertainty, as CDS spreads have widened in those states and the word bailout is being said without caution throughout the European banking community.

    The downward pressure on the Euro this week, coupled with the growing CDS in PIIG countries, is leading towards a scenario where the Euro might face even further devaluation if it doesn't bail out its troubled neighbors.

    It's almost as if the ECB's leaders' hands are tied, without a choice, and now they just have to figure out how to bring in their debt ridden stragglers.

    Because certainly they can't let them go, as it would undermine the Euro and, more broadly, the European Union project it is so heavily tied to. Right?
    If you don't know what you are talking about you should just refrain from posting.

    The only people this helps are the people who aren't doing anything for society. Essentially communities that have exploding out-of-wedlock birth rates, low education rates, AWFUL parenting, poor diet etc. etc.

    This is all going to be paid for by responsible Americans and the burden is going to be massive. That is extremely unfair.

    But ideological liberal loony toons will celebrate because of how great it sounds "in theory" and of course don't actually CARE what the consequences of its practical application are.

    Liberals just look at the ends and completely disregard the impact of the means. If it sounds like it makes sense in a perfect fairy world, it is the liberal's cup of tea.

    ****ign pathetic.

    Obama's plan would take close to 5 years to implement anyway. It doesn't go into effect this very second. 5 years from now, Obama might not even be in office and that's a good possibility as he's going to lose a lot of votes because of this.

    HOnestly, there needs to be some land somewhere that a new country can be started.

    America is going to look like a shithole in 20 years because liberals are such cowards that they refuse to ask anyone to be accountable for themselves, and just swindle money from anyone making it in order to babysit the little guy. this is just so embarrassing.
