After Hurricane Katrina, alot of Democrats left Rep.Cao's district from New Orleans making it much more competitive. It's still very Socialist though. I guess Rep. Cao was standing right next to Rep. Eric Cantor until the #218 was hit then the ******* Voted yes. I find it very suspicious that Nobama was in New Orleans just 2 weeks ago.
PS: Cao should just change parties or not run next year at all. He committed Political Suicide
PPS: I do know Cao's phone# and he has been added to the RINO Watch List
Cao was elected primarily due to Jefferson's scandal, but the district remains heavily democrat.
He will not get reelected as the dems will choose one of their own next time.
He can forget receiving much conservative support.
I hope "CASH" Cao doesn't get any $$$$$$$$$$$$ from the Republican Party.
Victoria's misstatement is exactly the kind of mendacity the country now has come to expect from Republicans.
Here was Rep Cao's actual reasons for voting for the bill:
"Louisiana Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao said he was standing up for his constituents with his "yes" vote, citing "exploding" health care costs in his district and the need for more accessible care."
This bothers Republicans how, exactly?
We live in a world where health care costs are increasing about 7-8% a year, and incomes are rising about 0-2% a year.
Can any of you do math?
At what point does this equation become no longer possible?
It's a simple matter of evaluating an exponential function. Where is your arithmetic?
I don't know if Mr Arpell is a mathematican, but some of the math seems to have escaped him as well. Last spring, the President told us that current spending levels were "unsustainable" and that he would not sign any health care bill added to the defict. Are those "exponential functions"? Sorry, I'm just a history major.
Ah, taxing the rich to pay for it?Perhaps some history will illuminate the discussion.
2007, the President makes 4.5 million dollars and pays 33% of it in federal income tax.
2007, the Clintons reveal they have earned 109 million dollars since leaving office and pay about 33% of it in federal income tax.
2003, John Kerry reports earning 7.5 million dollars that year and pays 12.8% of it in federal income tax.
You'll notice that all three paid less than the "runious" Bush tax breaks for the rich they railed against.
The budget crises in California and New York should be cautionary tales that there is not Republican math or Democrat math, just math.
Perhaps Mr Arpell has solution for the budget deficts or the unfunded liabilities for social security, medicare, and other emtitlements in a country where fewer and fewer people working to fund these programs.
Perhaps he believes that blue billionaires like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Peter Lewis, George Soros, and Oprah Winfrey will gladly pay for what you want. Or you could go to the Forbes web site and look up the 500 richest Americans. See how much they are currently worth and apply it to the current deficit. Then figure what your going to do next budget year since you took all they had.
If you believe that, I have a few thousand carbon credits I'd like to sell you.
Before you can spread the wealth, some has to earn it first.
