Congress Wants to Tell Americans How to Be More Efficient? Really?

[P@triot]

The institution which has helped plow us into $16 trillion of debt and which is responsible for more waste, fraud, and abuse than all of the inmates in all of our prisons combined, wants to tell us how to be "efficient"?!? Really?!? Really?!?

Congress Dictating Energy Efficiency

It's a poorly written op-ed by unknowns. The "institution" in question consists of two parts. One is currently dominated by republicans and the other is dominated by democrats. What do you think the problem is about? Maybe the democrat party's policy of dependence of foreign oil?

 

[Mr. H.]

Here's a good illustration of energy efficiency over a 40 year period.

Some of it instituted by government regulation, most of it a result of measures outlined in your linked article.

Congress Dictating Energy Efficiency

I have ONE simple measure that determines my confidence in Congress and especially this administration as to advice on efficiency!
Arithmetic. Does Congress/Obama understand simple subtraction?
Proof that they don't! This simple exercise shows the total LACK of common sense, simple math and most definitely IGNORANCE of reality!

Most of the lawmakers believed Obama knew his math when Obama said ON August 21, 2009:
"We are not a nation that accepts nearly 46 million uninsured men, women and children,"
46 Million Uninsured: A Look Behind The Number : NPR

BIGGEST F...KING LIE EVER!!
And here are the FACTS that prove either Congress/Obama can't do simple arithmetic or they were LYING!

GIVEN: The Census bureau says 10 million of the 46 million "uninsured' are not citizens…
Subtract 10 million from 46 million leaves 36 million… NOT 46 million!

Source: Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2009 - Income & Wealth - Newsroom - U.S. Census Bureau
GIVEN: 14 million are eligible for Medicaid..but they are counted as "uninsured"….
but Obama totally ignored this FACT and subtracting 14 million from 36 million leaves 22 million…

Source: http://coverageforall.org/pdf/BC-BS_Uninsured-America.pdf

Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association contracted with the Actuarial Research Corporation (ARC) to provide a detailed analysis of the uninsured identified by the Census Bureau, which found:
- Of the 44.7 million non-elderly uninsured individuals identified in the 2004 Census Current Population Survey (CPS) data,
nearly one-third — almost 14 million — were reachable through existing government
health programs such as Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) under current rules.

REACHABLE meaning all these people had to do was enroll! NO money. NO risks! Just enroll!
14 million already eligible only need to register with MEDICAID!

So far we've reduced the 46 million by 10 million NON-Citizens, 14 million that simply had to enroll as they were covered by Medicaid!

That leaves 22 million!

The last time I checked as an American I had the right to buy health insurance if I wanted to! That is MY RIGHT!

18 million people declaring that right! They are under age 34. They make over $50,000 a year decided it is cheaper just to pay out of pocket the average of
$1,000 per year for their health needs then take up their employers' health plan.

Folks.. these are people who don't like to be called "free-loaders"! And they are NOT!

Their credit rating depends on their paying their bills so they aren't "FREE-LOADERS" they pay their own way!

When you subtract 18 million from 22 million that leaves only
4 MILLION that truly want and need health insurance! NOT 46 million!

so folks either Obama/Congress aren't very good at simple math so therefore WHY IN THE HELL Trust them to tell us how to be more efficient OR
THEY ARE LYING!!!

The problem should be glaringly obvious to everyone. It was summed up best by none other than Barack Obama himself when he told his Reverend, Jeremiah Wright, "You know what your problem is? You have to tell the truth".

It's a lack of integrity. Just about every person (not all obviously, but close to it) gets there by lying. And they stay there by lying. Most of them (again, no better illustration than Barack Obama himself) are completely unqualified to even be there.

We need to start by requiring every candidate to take a polygraph which covers their entire history, their ideology, and their plans in office if elected. Once you've eliminated the con artists, you can start electing people who are actually qualified to be there.

The Con Artist In Chief. Has a nice ring to it.

Obama is one huge bill of goods.
