The 111th Congress: The F You Congress

No, I am not going to drop the F-bomb first thing in the morning, but I am going to allude to it. I have watched the actions of the 111th Congress now for months, and the simplest way to refer to this bunch of scoundrels is simply by calling them the 'F' You Congress. After all I saw take place this summer, I feel like they are flipping the majority of Americans the bird.

Nothing shows this better than what happened this past week in Congress. After a heated summer for Congress in which they went home and faced their angry constituents over the healthcare debate, Congress doesn't just ignore their constituents, they flipped them the bird. How does Congress justify an unpopular healthcare plan, proven by the polls as support fell with each passing day, by nearly doubling the size of it, leaving all the unpopular issues in it like the public option, end-of-life counseling death panels, and a trillion dollar price tag, and ad obvious support for the public funding of abortions after the heat they took this past summer?

There is no justification. They didn't listen to the people as they are supposed to as elected representatives. Their message in the town hall meetings as they complained like babies that we lost our manners was a simple F you. That's the conclusion I have drawn after studying the latest effort to take over the healtcare system. It's like they took that last unpopular bill and asked how can we spend more to take more rights away from the people.

Worst of all, it's a big F YOU. Nancy Pelosi wants to force a vote on the bill as soon as 72 hours after the bill was released to the public. In other word, we can't let the people of America see what is in this bill or we are going to have to head home on Christmas break without a bill passed and more rude people in our face. A vote could take place as soon as Monday. Nearly 2000 pages of laws that will affect every person's healthcare direction, and they want to rush a vote. Do you think they have any respect left for the voters? I don't.

In the bill, people are only going to have healthcare insurance options between their employers or the government. More than likely, your employer are going to drop your coverage based on that it will be cheaper to pay the healthcare tax of 8% than pay the 13% national average on payroll for insurance. Not only that, but Congress has managed to give the employers one more reason to drop your coverage. They are dropping the employer tax benefits for providing health insurance.

Another big F you goes out to the healthcare industry. Only Congress and Obama could get aways with telling the American people they are going to lower healthcare cost and then impose huge new taxes on the healthcare industry which will only increase costs. Medical device makers face $20 billion in new taxes--taxes which will be passed to the people needing pace makers, artificial hips, and other devices.

Obama and Congress have misrepresented how much money it takes to bring a new drug to market, and believe drug companies should place candy-like prices to medications it takes hundreds of millions of dollars to research, develop, and then get through the FDA. They will cough up another $80 billion. Do you honestly think this is going to drop the costs of the medication senior citizens need? It's never been about lowing cost--only increasing power, and Congress is saying F you all along the way to collect more unconstitutional power.

One this is passed and shoved down our throats with the words 'F You Very Much,' they are going to pass cap and trade. It's a done deal--don't be fooled because it's stalled in the Senate. The Obama administration has already figured out an estimated revenue based on cap and trade taxes when he presented the latest budget deficits a few weeks ago. The deficit would have been over $600 billion more had he not included the revenue from cap and trade. It's coming. Every month when you get your utility bills and every time you pump gas in your car, there will be the subtle reminder of the 'F you' screamed across the nation from the walls of Congress across the fruited plain in higher cost to every American. All the while more scientists are calling global warming a politically motivated scam.

F you America!

Love,

The 111th Congress.
