you're listening to the weak dollar tix with dave hannon
necessarily
series here blogging at liberal oasis dot com and our future dot or it also
host of the liberal oasis
radio show and and must say professional competitive eaters well now is that also
on the list replacement workers local burger early contest two thousand i'm
what it was first place how labor does that did six burgers in
fifteen minutes
and the winner had seven
that's not that that knows her clothes and i it was report on face book that
the winner
him
the people that after the fact
see i think that that should default to you then lewis i think is more of an
authority on eating contest but doesn't that mean bill technically should've won
well how long how long to be rolled down betty yankee
civilians dot right into the mic the same venue at the
he did not make it through the evening but he did not per person on principle
maybe that's not within the hour it's valid and i think i'd say they're made
our and i thought so at that may be a health still very impressive but if they
so the health care bill passed without any of the sneaky tactics that were kind
of floating around we had deemed demon passed about half of we also had the
what what else did we have that was in this if you have this was literally a
traditional
which their process the senate
passed a bill with sixty votes right
that bill would to the house today passed it verbatim with a majority vote
and the president signed it is just like school house rock your are just the bill
right the only
wrinkle in this now that's not complete yet
is there a series of tweaks to the bill
that va house and senate negotiating formally it and that is now being bell
in the reconciliation process which is designed too
pass a bill that cut the deficit only
and cannot be filibustered in the senate is going to pass a simple majority vote
although the minority still has the power to propose unlimited amendments
right so long as they are germane to the bone budget and have a commercial budget
off the score so will get to deo there's all these funny names like the
cornhuskers kickback in gator aid that republicans that seem to be obsessed
with
will get to those the bill that has passed what is actually in there that is
going to change the health care insurance situation so what what is in
this bill order number doesn't happen immediately okay whatever suburb that
are small enough but the big reforms but
children and cannot be to appease the conditions cannot be denied coverage
immediately
this forty billion dollars in small business tax credits dot small-business
provided church their employees
uh... if your
uh...
the trial's
quote-unquote after each twenty six you can stay on your parents plan and lobby
and short our people ran a college who don't have
great jobs of great benefits right away rec so that's going to go this week
after a good chunk of the uninsured right away then that some of the big
early stuff the big reform
kick said twenty fourteen
everyone who is currently uninsured or if you work for small business and
that's what was a struggle to offer coverage there please
you can roll in what's called a health insurance exchange
and
and you'll be able to choose between
insurance companies that the government fines are providing quality insurance
and
you will get subsidies from the government to pay for insurance so you
to you we have been forced in a bunch of you can't afford
and any judge would everyone be legally obliged
by health insurance except for people with a little bit hardship
so this would be different than the situation in massachusetts where some
people end up
saving money by not carrying insurance and choosing to pay the fine
because they can afford insurance woman that might happen of
that's not good and that's why it's not
a literally universal planets right mansion this man expansion of thirty two
million
people which is a very very large
but that you will not cover everybody because one there is a charge of
exemption so if the premiums as it stands at twenty fourteen
bar
eight percent of your income
or more
then your not legally obliged to buy the officer stutter of so that we don't be
flat out for some isolated just can't afford
ob are you may get some people though it's a hand rather pay the fine
then by the insurance but as we are very small number of people you're going to
pay something either way
and what we're going to say it account to pay stub ever get something for her
to get no fell below average the the roll call that was requested when they
were voting which was were each member would be aspin they would verbally say
for or against
that to me sounded just like a political posturing thing which is if we can get
everybody if the republicans are going to lose this either way
if they can get video of democrats voting in favor then they can turn use
that in campaign videos is there any other reason to request that roll call
votes but stats that is what they wanted but
they didn't get it they do it and get it at all i think it
matter in the end
because
as your seat applaud passage
uh... the poll numbers are going up for the democrats right but my question is
was it only the reason for the republicans to do that is just to have
campaign video tape that we only regret so
there's a few other things going on here simultaneously which are these attorneys
general there's i don't know how many there are a house and i think about a
dozen republicans and republican state saying
for their state they want to sue the federal government
because they believe what has happened now is unconstitutional this mandate
specifically is the unconstitutional part
is that the best
shot the republicans have to get the only shot it's no shots if no shots a
day earlier if you don't think anything will come a bit to comply legally
illegitimate legal reasoning
that these attorney generals are trying to do at they are basically trying to
argue that is unconstitutional under the tenth amendment which is extremely vague
leeward amendment
that litigated the supreme court before to people on the far right of try to say
that this the federal government to do anything because the tenth amendment
bad it's been routinely knocked down also unless you had a holy stacks of
cream court of right wing nut jobs and maybe it's closed or closes its not
fired about a majority of the progress like that there is no way that i mean i
would just not down this law i would knock down doors every federal law on
the books i've that's just not going to happen
people on twitter ripped conservatives are going completely crazy as as this
was happening aboard the dams now
regarding policy is this pitch for real i have one word to describe this
legislation
monday take your money out of the banks could not job nancy chairman mao would
be proud how long will this go on for through the twenty ten election bat
which point only very tiny things will even have been enacted from the still
will leave the
the tenacity in the long memories of of the extremis writer always very walking
in t_ so they may
continue with these histrionics perot elephant never forgets correct
