Vets affected by VA hospital errors to file claims - Health care- msnbc.com
"Among them are veterans who have tested positive for HIV and hepatitis and others who suffered emotional distress after the VA provided them with initial positive blood tests for infections that turned out to be wrong. Sheppard also said other veterans among the roughly 10,000 affected former patients at VA hospitals in Murfreesboro, Tenn., Miami and Augusta, Ga., are likely to seek compensation beyond the VA's offer of free medical care.....Records show that between fiscal year 2004 and March 2009 the VA denied 11,299 veterans' claims for compensation related to hospital and medical care, while granting 3,229 claims."

$1 Trillion More in Debt Since Obama Took Office - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
"So rapid is the pace of deficit spending by the federal government, that the National Debt has increased over a trillion dollars since President Obama took office."
Nation & World | Study projects steepest fall in tax receipts since 1932 | Seattle Times Newspaper
"The recession is starving the government of tax revenue, just as the president and Congress are piling a major expansion of health care and other programs on the nation's plate and struggling to find money to pay the tab. The numbers could hardly be more stark: Tax receipts are on pace to decline 18 percent this year, the biggest single-year decline since the Great Depression, while the federal deficit balloons to a record $1.8 trillion."
Cost of ObamaCare Higher than Expected - WSJ.com
"As ObamaCare sinks in the polls, Democrats are complaining that the critics are distorting their proposals. But the truth is that the closer one inspects the actual details, the worse it all looks. Today?s example is the vast debt canyon that would open just beyond the 10-year window under which the bill is officially ?scored? for cost purposes. The press corps has noticed the Congressional Budget Office?s estimate that the House health bill increases the deficit by $239 billion over the next decade. But government-run health care won?t turn into a pumpkin after a decade. The underreported news is the new spending that will continue to increase well beyond the 10-year period that CBO examines, and that this blowout will overwhelm even the House Democrats? huge tax increases, Medicare spending cuts and other ?pay fors.?

Dear Mr. President, Senate and House of Representatives:
I'm planning to move my family and extended family (18-20 mouths) into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me. We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Calderon, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All Mexico government forms need to also be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but, I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put U S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say a critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that President Calderon won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
Thank you so much for your kind help,
Sincerely,
US Citizen & Taxpayer

ssb's post does bring up some topics of discussion. Do you think there might be a change of mind about some of the jobs you listed (bad economy, loss of jobs)and who might now be willing to do them or would American citizens still scoff at the idea?
My main question is...is it still illegal to be in this country w/o a work visa?

Good point Miss Kitty! I don't think the lettuce picking job is for me. But I'm about to the point of applying for the toilet cleaning job. I like roofing work but am not really proficient at it.

Speaking of garbage, thank you. This was part of my original trash heap to begin this thread 5 days ago..........
Joe Davidson - Federal Diary: House Committee Passes USPS Bill - washingtonpost.com

Well what do you know!!! Speaking of the USPS :dothewave:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XTi-WdOu2s&feature=player_embedded"]YouTube - post office[/ame]
Uh huh-exactly what he just said. These are the truths you can only hear about healthcare at the civil town halls
Did he just say the public option (healthcare) "has to be self-sustaining...., meaning taxpayers aren't subsidizing" Yada yada yada and some intriguing what did I just step in here yadas... "as long as it's (healthcare) not set up where the Government is basically being subsidized by the taxpayer so that even if they're not providing a good deal, we keep on having to pony out more and more money." I watched it again and he did just say that. Does anyone have a clue how "it's" going to be set up????
By the way-the USPS is also "not subsidized by taxpayers"
. They are a "self sustaining Federal Government entity" . :scratch: They have only lost $12 Billion since 2007. So how have they stayed in business if they are "self-sustaining" and where in the world did they get the funds to cover those losses??? So as Obama almost said verbatim earlier today, "they are not providing a good deal, and the federal Government keeps ponying out more and more money." And of course FedEx and UPS have no worries-they are not being specifically publicly demonized and trashed and villified by the President and the Speaker of the House and The U.S. Senate Majority Leader. Those private insurance companies who will remain viable competing against a "self-sustaining" Government provider have nothing to worry about
