Hoffa Opposes Tax on our Healthcare
Teamsters President James Hoffa estimates that the tax would affect the health care plans of "hundreds of thousands" of his 1.4 million members.
"We oppose the excise tax because it will be passed on to our people," Hoffa told POLITICO. "We will oppose it in the Senate. We will oppose it in the House. We will oppose it in conference."
Go Hoffa!

Health Care Bill Mistake!
Narrow Vote of 220-215 Provides Victory for Obama
Handing President Obama a hard-fought victory, the House voted to approve a $1.1 trillion, 10-year plan that Democrats said could be their defining social policy achievement. (New York Times)
The House made a huge mistake by passing this health care bill. First of all, I firmly believe it is unconstitutional to require all Americans to buy health care.
Second, look at the price tag, a whopping $1.1 trillion, 10-year plan! Who will pay for this? The democrats were trying to say those making more then $1 million a year. Guess what? There ain't enough of them! That leaves us working stiffs. They want to tax us, the employees, for the portion of our insurance the employer pays as if it's our income! I promise you I don't make $1 million a year. Hell, I make under the $250,000 threshold Obama promised would not see a tax increase under his administration.
A better, more constitutional way to reign in run away health care costs would be:
Allowing interstate competition among health insurance companies.
Government regulation of the industry. A CEO of a "non-profit" health care company shouldn't pull down a salary over $1 billion!
Tort reform.
This is one citizens opinion. I hope the Senate kills the bill!

Bush Visits Fort Hood
FORT HOOD, Texas - Former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, have visited wounded soldiers and their families after the mass shooting at Fort Hood.
So where is our current commander and chief? Obama has yet to show up at Fort Hood, a military base on U.S. soil!

Jobless "Recovery," Huh?
Unemployment rose to 10.2%.
It's the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years.
The Star Tribune article goes on to say, "What we're seeing is a validation of the idea that a jobless recovery is perfectly on track."
So am I to conclude the fat cats are making money, recouping their losses, but the working stiffs are still going broke?

Minnesota State Senator passes the buck
The Star Tribune has an article which has Minnesota law makers trying to figure out what went wrong with the Metro Gang Strike Task Force's illegal search and seizure practices and how to fix them.
The article documents the blatant disregard for citizens 4th amendment rights with personal testimony from citizens. Then has lawmakers discussing how to fix the problem. One law maker quoted is Sen. Julianne Ortman, R-Chanhassen. The Star Tribune reports, Sen. Julianne Ortman, R-Chanhassen, pressed Auditor Rebecca Otto on why her office didn't disclose that the Gang Strike Force and other units failed to comply with the reporting requirement.
Senator Ortman, you are the Senior Administrative Manager for the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office had members on that task force! Wasn't it YOUR job to disclose this to the State not the other way around?
Can anyone else see the conflict of interest?
