ABC’s Jim Avila On The View: Tea Party Thinks “Causing a Meltdown Is the Right Thing to Do” For America’s Economy (VIDEO)

I was going to type “I am absolutely stunned by this man’s ignorance,” but then I re-viewed the tape during editing….sad fact is, I am not stunned by it. What I am stunned by is The View’s harpie audience applauding like seals, buying into his garbage about what the Tea Party wants and what the GOP is willing to do regarding the debt-ceiling debate. He also gets it completely wrong as to what is holding up a deal being reached, and how significant the Tea Party is or not.

Needless to say, Joy Behar gets in her needles about Social Security. What are you worried about, you stupid fool? You have plenty of money, and Social Security shouldn’t even been on the TABLE for people of your financial stature! I have no delusion that SS will be there for me in any form whatsoever.

Also of note is Whoopi’s lack of reaction regarding raising taxes, seeing as how she’s recently been a vocal opponent of paying too damn many taxes herself. Whoopi, you brought up the Social Security issue, but you should have known better to follow up with an ‘I thought our Social Security withholdings were kept in a lockbox?’ argument, but you didn’t. What’s up with that?

Geraldo Shills for Obamacare – What More Should We Expect from Jerry? (VIDEO)

If I didn’t love my TV so much, I would have put it out of my misery with my Glock when Jerry Rivers, er, I mean Geraldo Rivera popped on to spout his drivel about the glorious wonders of Obamacare. Stupid fake latino.


I’m surprised MSNBC hasn’t peeled him away from FNC. Please take him…you can have him.

Steve Hayes: This Healthcare Reform Will Bankrupt the Country (VIDEO)

by MsUnderestimated — Categories: Government Spending, Healthcare, Video1 Comment

On a special edition of Special Report, the subject was today’s vote on the healthcare reform bill, a.k.a. “Obamacare.” Steve Hayes of the Weekly Standard gave a breakdown of past entitlement programs including Medicare and Social Security, what promises were made about them, and how they wound up affecting America in reality, fiscally speaking. Steve gives a somber yet believable analysis about this newest entitlement: it will bankrupt this country.


This is going to make the federal debt clock, as Steve says, go into double-time. This new entitlement is an outrage. As if we don’t have enough unfunded liabilities as it is?

Greta On the Social Security Administration’s $700K ‘Retreat’ (VIDEO)

Last night on Greta’s show, she showed some undercover video, obtained by ABC News, of a Social Security Administration “retreat” for apparent stress-relief workshops, and this retreat was held at the Waldorf Astoria/Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona.

Here’s a portion from the ABC15 piece:

A spokesperson from the SSA’s regional office said the conference was essential, that teleconferencing was not an option, and that all 675 managers needed to meet in person.

The SSA provided ABC15 with a list of courses provided at the conference, which included “Techniques to Empower You,” “Mentoring the Generations,” and “Emotional Intelligence.”

But the information provided by the SSA did not mention an after-hours casino trip, family members staying at the hotel, or the 20-minute dance party ABC15 observed.

What is the reason? SSA employees (and the Chairman) felt they deserved a pampering get-away retreat, and it only cust U.S. taxpayers a measely $700,000.00 – that’s all. Not so bad, right? /sarc
