Shame on you Senate http://www.fightthesheep.com/?p=142 http://www.fightthesheep.com/?p=142#comments Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:50:55 +0000 Voter_X http://www.fightthesheep.com/?p=142 Yesterday the Senate tried to pass S.1776- Medicare Physician Fairness Act of 2009, also known as the “Doctor Fix”. As I understand it, this was a $247 billion medicare doctor reimbursement program which should have been part of the Obamacare package. Problem is the “Doctor Fix” would have pushed Obamacare well over the arbitrary $900 billion line in the sand.

So what did the Senate do? They pulled the “Doctor Fix” out of the health care package, made it it’s own bill and tried to add the $247 billion to the deficit thus keeping the Obamacare number down.

HOW LAZY AND DECIETFUL CAN YOU BE?!? WHAT PART OF “RECORD DEFICIT” DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?!?

 Didn’t Madoff go to jail for playing with numbers like this? Maybe we should go to Washington and make a Citizen’s Arrest.

Senator Debbie Stabenow called this “honest budgeting”. Wait what? Honest budgeting? This is more like paying off credit cards with credit cards. Problem is the Senate is trying to buy things we don’t need with credit cards that are waaaaaaaaaay over the limit. And on a side thought here, what the heck does Stabenow consider DIS-honest budgeting?

Here is a rollcall link to how the vote went down. If your Senator voted Aye for this bill, then ask yourself if they are representing you or just trying to be part of “history”.  As always, I encourage everyone to call their Senators and give them their own Aye or Nay just to let them know we are watching.
