Health Care and Our Deficit

Congress claims their one trillion dollar health care bill is deficit neutral over ten years. Taxes and fees start immediately and benefits begin four years from now! Okay, I will bite, lets take a look at Congresses figures. The graph below breaks down the taxes/fees collected each year, benefits paid, and deficit in Billions of dollars. Notice after 10 years Congress is right; the balance is nearly zero which clearly indicates the program is deficit neutral after ten years.

BUT; notice how the deficit increases every year starting with year 11. This is why Congress calculated this program in this manner; to make it appear their plan pays for itself!

YR Taxes/Fees.............Benefits Paid.........Deficit
1 $100.................$ 0....................$100
2 $100.................$ 0....................$200
3 $100.................$ 0....................$300
4 $100.................$ 0....................$400
5 $100.................$166...................$334
6 $100.................$166...................$268
7 $100.................$166...................$202
8 $100.................$166...................$136
9 $100.................$166...................$ 70

(UPDATE) Is Senator Sherrod Brown an anti-constitutionalist?

Last September I wrote Senator Brown a email because his staff compared the actions of ACORN to those of the Catholic Church. I wrote asking Senator Brown what his official position regarding the Catholic Church and ACORN was? I received a personal reply in a matter of days.

More recently, I email Senator Brown a question regarding Constitutional Law and health care. I received the standard cut and paste response to a generic health care question. Senator Brown chose not to answer my questions so I now assume Senator Brown believes Congress has the power to over-ride Constitutional Law. Senator Brown also must believe our country did not have health care during the writing of our Constitution.

(I cut and pasted the following into an email to Senator Brown)

After several attempts to get two questions answered by Senator Brown via email, yesterday I called his office to ask my questions directly. 1). I asked, “Will Senator Brown please provide the Article and Section in the Constitution that grants the Federal Government authority to regulate and pass laws regarding health care?” 2). “Where in the Constitution is authority established to compel citizens to purchase health insurance or any other commodity or service as part of being a law-abiding United States Citizen?”

The person in Senator Brown’s officer told me the Constitution does not give government authority to regulate health care; BUT, congress has the authority to pass any law as long as the law was “for the good of the people”.

Following these anti-Constitutional statements I was told by Senator Brown’s representative, that health care was not addressed in the Constitution by the Founding Fathers because our nation did not have Medical Care back then.

Really! Senator Brown, is it your position that this nation did not have health care during the writing of our Constitution? And, Congress can pass any law as long as the law “is for the good of the people?”

Please Senator Brown; will you respond to this letter?

(Response from Senator Brown;)

Dear Mr. Smiley:

Thank you for sharing your views regarding health reform.

Deliberations are ongoing and the issues you have raised are included in these discussions. In particular, there is continued debate related to provisions that would establish a public option, insurance reforms, tax credits, and an excise tax on “Cadillac” insurance plans. Additionally, the Senate continues its dialogue on Medicare issues, including provider payment rates, program eligibility, patient access, medical malpractice, and further improving Medicare benefits for the more than 44 million current enrollees.

Ensuring that the health reform legislation is budget neutral is a firm commitment that Congress will continue to uphold now and in the future. These issues won’t be resolved until a merged bill is agreed upon by both the House and Senate. As Congress moves forward on health reform, I will certainly work to address the issues contained in your letter.

If you wish to learn more about my work on health reform as well as the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that Ohioans have posed to my office, please visit my website at:

http://brown.senate.g....

Thank you again for getting in touch with me on this important issue.

Sincerely,

Sherrod Brown
United States Senator


Below is a post I made on Columbus/Central Ohio 912 Project Message Board. Please notice that Senator Brown wrote me a "personal" reply to my allegations. Apparently he wanted to set the record straight regarding his position on the Catholic Church/ACORN comparison his staff made during a phone conversation.


I called Sherrod Brown's office a few days back. I wanted to known if Senator Brown supported ACORN, and I also wanted to know what the senator thought of the undercover investigation and what was uncovered.

Senator Brown's spokesperson compared ACORN with the Catholic Church which made me mad as hell.

I wrote Senator Brown asking if he truly believed ACORN was on par with the Catholic Church when it came to community organizing.

Seems he is backpedaling quickly; I received the following. (First Personal Reply to date; I usually get a cut and paste reply)


Dear Mr. Smiley:

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). I was disturbed by your comment relaying your conversation with a staff person in my Columbus office. I certainly do not equate ACORN with the Catholic Church, and in fact I voted yesterday to bar ACORN from receiving any funds, directly or indirectly, from the appropriations bill under consideration that will fund federal transportation, housing, and urban development efforts.

A number of Ohioans have contacted me concerned that ACORN may be receiving tax dollars for voter registration efforts or to promote affordable housing as a result of the recent Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA). Many have also expressed concerns regarding the current situation involving the organization’s practices in Baltimore and Florida.

I certainly understand these concerns, however, ACORN is not receiving federal funds for voter registration or as a result of EESA. The federal government does not fund voter registration drives by any group.

As a former Secretary of State, I understand and value the importance of the integrity of the voting process. I strongly support efforts to investigate and prosecute voting fraud. For the most part, these law enforcement efforts are carried out at the state and local level. This is why local authorities have jurisdiction in the investigation of the 11 individuals accuse of fraud in Florida and Baltimore.

I will continue to monitor this situation. Should legislation regarding this matter come before the Senate, I will keep your views in mind.

Thank you again for getting in touch with me.

Sincerely,

Sherrod Brown
United States Senator

Civil Rights

Following the Civil War the Democratic Party did everything within its power to disenfranchise African-Americans and to “put them in their place”. Following the death of President Lincoln, his successor, Vice President Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, vetoed Republican Controlled Congress’s Civil Rights Bills. Beginning in 1874, there was a rise in Democratic white paramilitary organizations, such as the White League and Red Shirts, a group of racist Democrats that supported Wade Hampton III’s political ambitions (Prelude to the Ku Klux Klan), whose political aim was to drive out sympathetic Republicans and terrorized blacks to bar them from the polls.

If the Democrats are so PROUD of their heritage and history why does their official website (www.democrats.org) have a gap between 1848 and 1912? Are they not proud of their party’s heritage during this period? Are they not proud of the Jim Crow laws they put into place? Or, the lynching of blacks? The actions of the KKK? Democratic sponsored terrorism towards blacks and whites supporting black rights? I have sent numerous emails to the Democratic Party asking why their website abandons this period of Democrat History. Democrats choose not to reply to my inquiry.

I will fill in the Democrats missing heritage for them since they themselves find it unpalatable;

The Republican Party was formed in 1854 specifically to oppose the Democrats, and for more than 150 years, they have done everything they could to block the Democrat agenda. As you read the following Democratic atrocities that span three centuries, imagine if you will, what a far different nation the United States would be had not the Republicans been around to block the Democrats’ efforts.

The only Civil Rights issue the Democratic Left has championed during its racist history was the hijacking of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the National Voting Rights Act of 1965. Much like today’s congress’ the Democratic Party had total control of Congress, and could pass any legislation it wished. It was Republican leadership that championed the historic civil rights acts of the 1960’s while many prominent Democrats, i.e. Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), fought to stop this historic event.

Civil Rights Act of 1964. Of the 311 Democratic Congressmen, merely 64 percent supported passage of the Bill; while 80 percent of the 204 Republican Congressmen supported passage. Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) was the ONLY Northern Democrat to oppose this historic Act!

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was actually the brain-child of President Eisenhower (Republican) and was introduced seven year earlier! Why didn't civil rights pass under Eisenhower? Then Senator Johnson blocked it's passage!

National Voting Rights Act of 1965. Of the 346 Democratic Congressmen, just 77 percent supported passage of the Bill; while 86 percent of the 168 Republican Congressmen supported the Bill.

The Far-Left progressives failed to stop passage of the 1964 Civil Rights and 1965 National Voting Rights Acts so they changed their rhetoric. They reasoned since a Democrat, President Johnson, signed the Civil Rights Bills into Law Democrats could lay claim as “the party of Civil Rights”.

I have news for the African-American community! The Democratic Party throughout its history has had one goal in mind; and that is the control of the black vote no matter the cost! Following the civil war until the 1960’s they used force, intimidation, and voting laws to control the black population and to try to discourage voting.
President Woodrow Wilson, (D) a progressive wrote in his 1890 essay, "Leaders of Men," explained that a "true leader" uses the masses like "tools." He must inflame their passions with little heed for the facts. "Men are as clay in the hands of the consummate leader." Wilson once told a black delegation that "segregation is not a humiliation but a benefit, and ought to be so regarded by you gentlemen." The Progressive movement had in its beginning the ultimate goal of control over the black population. Progressives understood the importance of the black vote and vowed to use blacks as tools to further the progressive agenda.
Subsequent to President Johnson signing the Civil Rights Bills into Law the Democratic Party regrouped and changed their strategy. They started passing laws that would on the surface seem to assist the African-American population while at its core was meant to keep the Black Community poor and in their place! Like crack-cocaine; the Democrat’s ambition is to get all Blacks addicted to government handouts thus ensuring Blacks would vote Democrat at every election!

You hear it during every election! The Democrat Candidate will get up on his soap-box and warn the Black Community, “The evil Republicans want to take away your welfare checks, your free or subsidized housing, and make you all get jobs” and “The evil Republicans will cut funding to all the vital services you have grown to depend upon”.The Democratic Party takes no prisoners; they will promise everything and deliver nothing! When they fail to deliver they always blame the evil Republicans!

Greed! Do you really believe Reverend Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton want African-Americans to have equal opportunity? These men are motivated by greed and power. Both are in the pocket of the Democrat Political Machine. Jackson and Sharpton preach equality for all Americans regardless of color! I ask, when was the last time either showed up to support a white person or Asian whose civil rights were violated?

Both Sharpton and Jackson pick their battles carefully and always pick events that will champion the Democrat’s “blacks as victims” campaign. They carefully orchestrate demonstrations, rallies, and give wonderful speeches about equality all the while supporting a political party that has as its primary goal of keeping black-men in their place! Jackson and Sharpton are getting filthy-rich and live wonderful lives promoting blacks as victims! Why would they ever want true equality?

United States History being taught in schools today has been rewritten and/or carefully edited to present a progressive view of history. Strange, history books don’t mention that President Lincoln was the first Republican President. The fact that President Lynden B Johnson was a Democrat is pointed out in every paragraph. History books fail to point out that many more Democrats than Republicans in congress opposed passage of the 1960’s Civil Rights Laws. When children read about the Ku Klux Klan and Jim Crow laws it is not mentioned that Democrats were at the helm of these groups and laws; the history books just say “White Southerners”. Even President Wilson’s hatred for blacks has been revised to make him sound like Mary Poppins.

Next time you hear a debate between a Republican and a Democrat notice which candidate brings up race. It is always the Democrat; when they start to stumble on an issue they seem to always find a way to throw in a racial remark. For example; when a Republican brings up school choice as an alternative option to public schools the democrat will accuse the Republican of being a racist and wanting to cut funding to the poor black intercity schools.

Still not convinced the democrats are using the black community for political gain. In an article in The Washington Times President Obama’s justice department headed by Eric Holder ruled that the town of Kinston N.C. could not have non-partisan elections. “Voters in this small city overwhelmingly voted 2 to 1 to eliminate the (R), (D), and (I) from their ballots. President Obama’s justice department’s position is; without party identification how will Black voters know who to vote for? The Obama administration overruled the electorate and decided that equal rights for black voters cannot be achieved without the Democratic Party.”

According to President Obama African-Americans don’t vote for the best candidate but rather a party! I thought the 1964 civil rights act did away with Jim Crow laws.

Please don’t take my point of view as absolute proof. Do your own research. Seek the truth and support those who truly want a better America for all regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or, pick your issue.

Recently Congresswoman Barbra Boxer made racial remarks towards Mr. Alford the co-founder, CEO/President of the National Black Chamber of Commerce.

(Quote from the National Black Chamber of Commerce’s Website) “Here we were in the Senate Dirksen building participating in a Congressional Hearing on the pending climate legislation known as the Waxman/Markey Bill. This is a gigantic piece of proposed laws, taxes, regulations that will change the way America does business. There are many costs involved and it appears that the African American community will be paying a disproportionate share of the job loss and increased energy costs. No surprise as this is usually the case because we have no political apparatus that addresses that when it happens. The Congressional Black Caucus will go with the flow or, in other words, receive the orders from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and act obediently. If we allow business as usual: we lose.
So, it is with great fervor that the National Black Chamber of Commerce attempts to change this bill or contribute to its demise. The right way to do this is through debate. We got our act together by commissioning a very thorough study on the Waxman/Markey Bill analyzing the economic impact on urban and rural communities. The study done by the reputable Charles River Associates clearly points to our concerns. We, the last hired and first fired, will face the brunt of the costs and there will be little or no benefits achieved for it. So when the time came for me and Senator Barbara Boxer to go face to face about this important issue, she did something that I would have never expected. She began getting racial. Utilizing that old Jim Crow tactic of trying to pit my Black group against another – thus destroying ourselves, she went on an embarrassing rant.
First, she wanted me to attack the NAACP. That didn’t work so then she pulled out the 100 Black Men. Still, I didn’t take the bait. Finally, I went on the offensive and blasted her for her condescending manner replete with racial innuendo. I challenged her to argue against the study not wander off talking about any Black organization that came to her mind. Within a short time, we were yelling at each other on national television and the Internet. In fact, there have been over 500,000 views on YouTube showing the verbal match. Radio shows and television stations have been covering it. Yes, Barbara Boxer showed her racial animus. A persona that probably has not been detected by the general public until now and that is mysterious. Her overall inference was, what is a Black organization doing with a sophisticated study? This is white folks business and I got my Black groups to counter your Black butt. It was Bigotry 101.
This really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Let us remember the political game that brought her into prominence. She is the mastermind behind the “Anita Hill attack Clarence Thomas scenario”. Remember that, it pitted a Black female against a Black male and distracted us from the main issue – his legal talents. This modus operandi (M.O.) also appeared in the 2004 election in Ohio when she went after another Black male, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell using the late Elaine Tubbs Jones to do the fighting. Let us not forget that totally degrading attack on the Honorable Condoleezza Rice. The personal and heartless smears she put on her own constituents were less than moral. Yes, when it comes to Black folks Senator Barbara Boxer turns into a monster. So it is an easy question: Why did Senator Barbara Boxer go racial? That is what racists do. When they get up against the wall, their racial persona takes over and all of the ugly comes out like a gusher.
How does a state like California whose population is over 54% minority have such a person representing them as their Senator? Something is going to have to give. California is in a state of financial ruin and social upheaval. What the people of my native state need is leadership that is inclusive, positive and certainly productive. They need to start looking for new leaders and cultivating a process that will yield good “fruits”.
In my 16 years of testifying before Congress, I have never had to deal with racial animus, direct or indirect, until now. It is a “bump in the road” if we all deal with it now. If we ignore it, it will turn into a cancer and fester throughout our political apparatus to the detriment of America. Former Senator Trent Lott made a verbal slip and paid dearly. What Senator Boxer has done is a major revelation and we must act accordingly. God does not like ugly nor should the American people.”

Barbra Boxer is the perfect example of Democratic Leadership. As long as the Black Man tows the line, does as he is told, and votes Democrat he will be rewarded with welfare payments and the promise of a better future.
