Sure am glad he's not an elitist. Or a truther.
Where I give you my slightly quirky opinion, and you can give me yours, as long as you're man or woman enough to be civil and control your language.

About Me
- Joe
- I was born in Miami, Florida, the son of an Air Force officer, traveled the world, was saved at age 17, and have served the Lord since. That's me on the left and my lovely wife, Bonnie...the pretty one...on the right.
There Are But A Few Rules To Follow
1. Absolutely no foul language (including the use of asterisks). If you are not man or woman enough to control your language, you are not welcome here...go somewhere else.
2. I am not looking for strings of commenters arguing with each other, so confine your comments to the topic at hand and address your comments to me, unless you can be exceptionally gracious and polite.
3. Since this is my blog, I am the sole arbiter of what can be placed on this blog. My decisions are final and without recourse. All anonymous comments, unsigned, will be deleted, as will ad hominem attacks against me or others.
4. Within the scope of those rules, you may feel free to have fun here (I sure will). Sarcasm, wit, half-wit, nit-wit, parody, satire, puns (especially puns), etc. are encouraged.
FOUR PRINCIPLES THAT DEFINE TRUE CONSERVATISM:
1. Respect for The Constitution
2. Respect for Life
3. The Smallest Possible Government
4. Individual Responsibility
This blog is about my philosophy of government, which is a very conservative philosophy.
You are not required to agree with me (although you would be better off if you did).
I am biased toward conservatism, and make no apologies for that.
Freedom means not being controlled by the government, that being the very reason we declared our independence from Great Britain.

Government's job is not to provide things for people, but to provide the opportunity for people to persue the things they want via the vehicles of freedom and responsibility.

BHO-THE CONSUMATE AMATEUR
WHY I CALL HIM "PRESIDENT BO"
I call him "President" out of respect for the office. I call him "BO" (as in Body Odor) because his agenda stinks.
I also refer to him as our "Acting President."

Sean Hannity was spewing lies and misinformation, talking over the congressman and trying to drown out the actual facts before finally becoming so frustrated that he told the congressman that he was "full of crap".
How very professional of him. Is it any wonder Fox News has become fed up with this idiot and yanked him from his time slot like a bad vaudeville performer getting the hook?
Hannity is lucky that all he got from the congressman were sneers and condescension.
Why anyone would waste their time appearing on his show is beyond me.
Joe, does this help you understanding the Congressional exemtion non-issue?
(D) MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IN THE EXCHANGE.-
(i) REQUIREMENT.-Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, after the effective date of this subtitle,
the only health plans that the Federal Government
may make available to Members of Congress and
congressional staff with respect to their service as a
Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be
health plans that are-
(I) created under this Act (or an amendment
made by this Act); or
(II) offered through an Exchange established
under this Act (or an amendment made by this
Act).
(ii) DEFINITIONS.-In this section:
(I) MEMBER OF CONGRESS.-The term ''Member
of Congress'' means any member of the House
of Representatives or the Senate.
(II) CONGRESSIONAL STAFF.-The term
''congressional staff'' means all full-time and part-
time employees employed by the official office of
a Member of Congress, whether in Washington,
DC or outside of Washington, DC.
------
Remember, we are here to help you live the life of the mind.
Hannity is dead wrong here. They don't have a "72% subsidy."
What they have is an employer contribution to their health care plan. All employers who provide a health care plan - to my knowledge anyway - pay for part of said plan, while the employee picks up the rest. The percentage the employer pays differs among employers, but the fact is that it is not a "subsidy" per se.
A subsidy is a form of financial or in kind support extended to an economic sector (or institution, business, or individual) generally with the aim of promoting beneficial economic and social outcomes.
-----
Probably can't call it income or it would be taxable.
I say, subsidy.
If you want to call what Congressmen get a "subsidy," then you have to say ALL employees who have employer contributions to their health care receive a "subsidy."
It is dishonest to call it a subsidy if a congressman gets it and not apply the same reasoning to every other employee who receives a similar benefit.
