Good

Please start paying it back immediately out of your pocket.

It's you and your hero Bush that did this.

No, YOU pay it. I have tax shelters ;) I know youre kinda...not wise with money so I know you dont :D

Oh, and speaking of heros...who voted for him again?

Oh, so you're a traitor, avoiding your patriotic duty? That's nice.

As I understand it the "fix" is already in HR3200.

I'd be interested in seeing an examination of the old formula and its impact over the past dozen years to the reimbursement rates.

If the previous legislation (formula) magically increased the reimbursement rates 20% over the cost of inflation I would almost consider this corporate welfare for 'destitute' physicians.

Hopefully, someone will do some digging .....

I get tired of seeing Bush blamed 100% for this. I think he was a big moron but still it was a Democrat and a Republican that caused this mess.

And, you can read these:

Link 2

I am sure you can find other links googling them. I could care less because we are where we are as a country, but people need to understand this was caused by BOTH parties. If you are in denial that BOTH parties caused this than you truly lack reading comprehension.

The really sad issue is this:

Unemployment is near 10% nationally and a lot of well paid people lost jobs. So, what happens next year when income tax expectations are MUCH MUCH MUCH less than anticipated and federal spending does not go down?????

Actually if you want to really go back to start of the demise of the American economic system you have to start with Reaganomics.

Wow, Bush mentioned in the first reply, that is faster than I thought it would take. I figured we'd get at least three others first.

Obviously he was hoping him and all his anti-America/anti-Obama wing nut buddies would get their fill in first.

I'm sure you also posted similar summaries for the previous years. Each of those was the largest since {insert year here}.

YASA (yet another specious argument).

The GOP as a whole hasnt been fiscally conservative for decades. But we all know this.

In case you have not noticed democrats have had congress the past couple of years.

The bush defects were pretty much inl line with historical deficits. While large in real dollars, not so large once adjusted for inflation/GDP.

If you think the status of this country is "royally fucked" you need to travel. You couldnt be farther from the truth.

The republicans dont get credit for balancing the budget under Clinton, so irrelevant.
