I feel like I have been asking this question a lot more lately. But honestly .. read this quote from Nancy Pelosi. It is about health-care legislation that will include an option for a government-run program that would compete with private insurers.

"This is not only about the health of individuals in our country, which will be justification enough ... It's about the competitiveness of our businesses to make them globally competitive because they are competing with companies and countries where the federal government -- their governments -- pay for health care. They don't have to bear those health care costs."

Hey .. Nancy .. newsflash. It is not the government that will be paying for this healthcare. The government does not generate an income to pay for healthcare. It seizes money from its taxpayers. Money that was earned by the taxpayers. So if the taxpayers have earned the money, and the government seizes it to pay for Democrat dreams and schemes like healthcare .. then the taxpayers are really the ones "bearing those healthcare costs" now aren't then?

What others are saying

  • Is There Any Way She Can Be Impeached?
    She is two-faced and a liar. She goes back on her word. Let's one person get away with something but not another. She is as unstable as a three-legged chair. I am tired of hearing from her and about her.
  • Stealing for a living
    Unnoticed is the fact that stealing for a living has become commonplace, and the new UCC makes it legal by offering all forms of loopholes for companies, but not for consumers. While consumer law is on the back burner, it might be well to recognize that if there are no jobs in the nation, crime will rise because if people cannot make income legitimately, they will make it illegitimately for survival. That includes government, attorneys, the military, the nonprofits and charities, and everyone, including consumers.

    Those that have must necessarily be a target of those that haven't, the downside of short supply.

    Creating worklessness in America (or anywhere) is an invitation to crime, not a prevention of it.

    Whether it is top down or bottom up doesn't really matter in the end since all are consumed by the problem.
  • Leona Helmsley Pelosi
    She is a room temperature wrinkled prune who wants to spread crumbs to the vast, smelly unwashed while she flies in her military 757. She epotimizes what is wrong with DC
  • She's What?
    What?? Pelosi's condition has been upgraded to brain dead? Who's been working with her? Jesus? It's a miracle!
  • Ditto Heads
    Neal Boortz and Rush provides great radio entertainment. That's it. They are right part of the time and wrong part of the time, just like everyone else.

    Conservative: Resistant to Change

    Liberal: Receptive to Change

    That's all those words mean, nothing more.

    Anyone from either of those groups can be greedy/evil/good/kind, whatever adjective you wish to insert.

    America needs healthcare reform because as an industrialized nation, we have 20% of our populace without healthcare coverage.

    Just like the saying "a recession is when your neighbor loses his job and a depression is when you lose your job"

    "a healthcare reform critic is someone who hasn't been hit with a huge medical bill and a healthcare reform advocate is someone who has" (Believe me, your mega, supreme, platinum private healthcare insurance will NOT pay for a lot of the cutting-edge treatment options for many diseases; but Medicaid will).

    While everyone has his own opionion to reform the system, healthcare reform will NEVER be enacted due to the huge inertia in place:

    REMEMBER: YOUR HEALTHCARE COST IS SOMEONE'S INCOME. AND YOU NEVER MESS WITH SOMEONE'S INCOME WITHOUT SOME FIERCE RESISTANCE (AMA, INS COMPANIES, DRUG COMPANIES, ETC.)
  • Been reading your blog for too long...
    I've been reading your blog for too long. I posted the same quote from NP on my facebook this morning, then I read your post ;)
  • is nancy brain dead
    Yes she is. She needs a husband.
  • Nancy, Take a ride
    Nancy needs to take a ride with Teddy to Chapaquitic.
  • Pelosi's got botox injected....
    Pelosi must have got botox injected directly into her brain.
  • Nancy is probably one of those idiots that believe food grows in a can.
  • Another step toward "globalization"
    "The stuff that used to be conspiracy theory is now reality."
    Sadly Ivan I believe you are right, as "crazy" as it sounds. Many people when informed of a situation like this one would simply say "RFID chips will never happen the government wouldnt do it"... Guess what? They will.. If our economy continues this downward spiral, gas prices go back up, and the average cost of living goes up, combined with unemployment then who will we be left to turn to but The United States Government for handouts. And once the value of the dollar is run into the dirt and these foreign nations who have our debt say we are insolvent, the only way we will be able to purchase is on a new credit system or RFID chips. And if you refuse, you're a heretic and will probably be labeled a "terrorist." The dollar is just worthless paper, it only has value because we have faith that it does. But computerized credit is absolute.

    And I am sure people will read this and say "Oh that will never happen." Every day these golbalists on capital hill enact their agendas and the more statist our nation becomes. The closer to that realization we get, is truly horrifying . God help us all.
  • There is an ultimate goal these globalists are working toward...
    I hate to be the bearer of bad news. The Obama healthcare plan is going to happen. It will be a carbon copy of the Clinton healthcare plan. There is an agenda that goes far beyond what Neal talks about on his show. With record numbers of people losing their jobs even less people have access to healthcare. It is quite obvious that the Obama administration is going to "take advantage" of this crisis. They will implement the new plan and those that have no jobs will have no choice, but to take the government health care plan. There will be a catch though I promise you. The catch will be an RFID chip that they will embed under your skin. You will not be able to use hospitals or get any kind of care without one. This idea will catch on quickly too as more and more people lose their jobs. Once Obama bankrupts this country they will be closer than ever to their ultimate goal of literally enslaving us to a one world government. One where we pay taxes directly to a central world bank. The stuff that used to be conspiracy theory is now reality.
  • Pelosi's slip of the tongue
    Did anyone hear the video or sound clip of pelosi calling slobbering barney "congresswoman"? It's absolutely freakin' hilarious! A Freudian slip perhaps...
  • public officials responsibilities
    po' ol' hippie
    she still gets her pot from Humbolt county. She not brain dead just pot relaxed.
    3rd in line for POTUS, no pun intended i think.

  • "Federal" money
    Has anyone else noticed this? It appears when the Democrats and RINOs want to spend billions (now trillions) on their vote-buying schemes. they call it "federal money," belonging to the government. However, when they want to unconsitutionally steal bonuses and stir up anger, they call it "taxpayer" money that they will "recover" for the taxpayers. Funny how that works.
  • pelosi govt care 101
    reminds myself of a story recently seen on a talkshow recently.it seems a semi retired primary care physician wanted to provide affordable health care for 39.00 a month you guessed it big brother inc stepped in and shut him down it seemed he wasnt meeting government price guidelines..how nice of them to step in and help us like that..
  • What about minimum wage
    I would like to hear what Nancy has to say about the impact minimum wage has on the competitiveness of our businesses with foreign goods.
  • She's just as braindead...
    ...as the fools in her district who elected her.
  • Where does wealth come from?
    The answer to the above question is no longer provided by our public schools, hence the election of Nancy, Barney, Harry, and the teleprompter.
    Wealth is created when somone designs, creates, mines, grows, or catches something someone else wants. Period. Wealth is not created by government presses or Wall Street, or the CBOT. For you democrats out there, think what it was like 10,000 years ago. A fisherman catches a fish. You are hungry and trade an arrowhead for it. Money was created to act in lieu of goods. Government confiscates wealth by confiscating money, which represents the efforts of those who actually created the wealth.
    Capitalism is simple to understand. Politicians make it complicated in order to steal.
  • Pelosi
    No she is not that dumb I assume. I know the people who keep voting for her likely are, and she knows it.
  • Nancy Pelosi
    What a twit. So my local doctor is competing with doctors overseas? No wonder I have a hard time getting an apointment.
  • Yo Nancy
    What about the burden of the 2nd highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world? Your silence is deafening. I can't wait to see that gavel ripped from your bony hands. 2011 could be the year, please by all means keep speaking.
  • Pelosi Brain Dead?
    Her frontal lobe is clearly missing.
  • Nancy Pelosi
    I am going to defend Nancy Pelosi.I don't think she is intentionally evil.I don't think she is braindead.I don't think she is horribly ugly.
    There now.But..she does show the results of many years of drug use.Tell your kids to examine her and see what an old hippy turns out to be.Really now, if she were not in Congress,who among us would not feel sorry for her and try to get her in a home?
  • Health Care Costs
    This is what is going on in Nancy's head, "I want businesses to have the most money possible. I know government doesn't generate its own money. I know it comes from taxpayers. I know that we're going to transfer the "costs born by business paid health care" to taxpayers. I know that this will hurt taxpayers and leave more money in the hands of business owners. Wait. I'm for that, right? My head hurts. Why does my head always hurt when I think about things?"
  • "They don't have to bear those health care costs."

    Economics 101: Aren't taxes considered within the context of "the cost of doing business?" And, don't these countries have high income (and corporate) taxes due, in part, to the high cost of gov't run health systems? And, don't we already have the second highest corporate tax on the planet? Therefore, if we add the cost of gov't run health care, will that not put us at an additional economic disadvantage in the global economy?

    Just askin'
  • Competition
    The government has a very twisted notion of competition. A private enterprise is expected to compete directly with a government subsidized one. The taxpayers ultimately pay the cost of the subsidy so everyone loses but its already game over. Fannie Mae ruined the private mortgage and banking industry and Obamalosi will destroy the private health care industry.
  • Nancy P
    Bob you need to go over your history a little better. Employers became involved in healthcare under FDR during WW2 as a way to attract employees at a time when the government froze wages in industries vital to the war effort. And it never left! Hummm seems FDR comes up alot lately.

    This dizzy dame has been out with copy left listening to the Cheech & Chong Big Bambuie record. (they needed the rolling paper inside) So they could roll & smoke the lid sized joint.

    Just look at the article in the WSJ today n how well Universal healthcare is working in Taxachussets! Just a prelude to the future.
  • Brain Dead? You think she has a brain?
    And for the health care controversy... why is nobody talking about 10% we all pay for workers compensation coverage? Look into this scam, run by bureaucrats, scam doctors and lawyers.
  • C'mon Neal....
    I think you missed a great opportunity to remind everyone that their health care is *NOT* the responsibility of their employer. What the Democrats have done, and what politicians seem to love to do, is to create a problem in order to attempt to solve it in a way that furthers their own agenda. Health care wouldn't be a cost of business in the US if it weren't for all those regulations and union contracts forcing it upon business.
  • Nancy Pelosi
    Do you really have to put a picture up of this monster every time there is news about her? Please reserve putting up pictures of her for halloween only.
  • Nancy Peolsi
    Too bad Obama and Pelosi can't be impeached for being an accessory to a crime. I mean being in this country illegally. I know some judge ruled the only thing illegal about an illegal alien was crossing the border illegally. After they are here it is ok. So now good old Nancy and Obama are encouraging these people to come over by promising them everything for free.
  • Nancy
    She is wicked and pandering. This "logic" of hers could be applied to any commodity. But since the government has the ability to steal from a few to give to others; without personal retribution (she is using "government" as the conduit to stealing our assets) allows hollow people to act in this fashion. If there were some personal accountability; people like her would stand trial.
  • "I ain't had my coffee yet!"
    Neal & Gang:

    Please quit posting pics of any demorat, & most rebublicans on your site. I'm usually drinking my coffee while visiting this site & their pics make me SPEW!
  • IS NANCY PELOSI REALLY THIS BRAINDEAD?
    Although it's probably a rhetorical question. YES!
  • Have to agree with Bill
    Most of these liberals are not braindead but rather seek power and the reality of their twisted views of society, even if that comes at the expense of their country's failure.

    The true braindead are the drone who put these vile creatures into office in the first place.
  • I hate to say it...
    Neal, you can be upset about it, and rightfully so, but you should at least acknowledge this... Our government is structured so that the representatives we elect, no matter how inept, are the voices of the people. In this case, the majority of people prefer the platform of the Democrats, and a single-payer healthcare system is part of that package deal. You and I are in the minority now. We can be cranky about it, but at some point you have to accept that when you are in the minority, more things are going to happen that you disagree with. Until a true third party becomes viable, we're going to have to choose between two big government parties. The Dems push a single-payer healthcare plan, but the Republicans push these assisted drug programs, wars on drugs (and other nouns) and the funding of an empire, all of which are not remotely encouraged in the Constitution. There is no lesser-evil, we've got the choice between two bowls of sh!t when we go into the election booth. My suggestion, keep pushing the Fair Tax, encourage a viable third party, and just hang on for the ride.
  • Thought impaired Nancy
    Everyone seems to forget how employers got into the healthcare administration business. It was in response to the tax burden on employees. Employees got more value from the health policy than from additional taxable income. This created a new problem in that people were not directly responsible for their health care costs. With out the direct consumer to provider link many abuses are possible. Adding govenrment to the mix will not reduce problems, never does. People need to be responsible for themselves, strange as that may sound.
  • GM costs are higher in US
    She might be referring to a report from GM that the cost of assembling a car in the US versus Canada was several thousand $s, due to the amount the US union employees health benefits cost.
  • Pelosi IS brain dead
    God, I hate that b*tch
  • Braindead or just plain dishonest?
    Neal,

    You often say that (pick your favorite leftist) thinks that the USA is great because of government. First, they do not think we are great. Second, when they do have flashes of reality creep into their multi-cultural fantasy world, they simply tell themselves that we were greedy. The only conclusion that seems to hold up is that they hate this country and want to destroy it.

    Nancy Pelosi is many vile things, but she is not stupid. What she understands is that her constituents are cowards. They are afraid to be free, and will ignore her lies and corruption because she promises to take care of them.

    Sorry to end the week on that note, but it is how I see it.

    Bill
