More lies and corruption from Obama and the democrats.

The lies and corruption with Obamacre is absolutely alarming. Once again, zero reporting from the MSM. And how many liberals still believe that our MSM isn’t bias? Not too many judging by the complete collapse in votes, trust, and confidence in Obama and the democrats. And if you are still hiding in a cave or behind CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Milwaukee JS, and or the NY Times, just to name a few, this will send you in the right direction. That’s only if you’re an honest American who isn’t drunk on the Kool-Aid! Oh by the way, I just read the latest poll. One year ago this month Obama had a disapproval rating of only 16%. Today, his disapproval is at 44%.

The below article comes to me from the “Morning Bell.” However, before you read the article, here's some breaking news that shows more of the corrupt Chicago style politics Obama, Reid, and Pelosi use. One of their top economists brought in only to crunch the Obamacare numbers was caught with a conflict of interest. And a big one! Jonathan Gruber, an MIT economist, has been among the foremost promoters of Obamacare thanks to the $400,000 in consulting contracts with the Administration that weren't disclosed in the many stories in which he was cited as an independent authority. Why is this braking news? His work figured heavily into a recent piece by Ron Brownstein that the Administration promoted as an antidote to skepticism about Obama care’s cost control. Obama and White House budget director Peter Orszag has also relied on Mr. Gruber and other economists endorsing the Senate bill. And as Orszag reported Gruber’s findings, as did the MSM and some of our liberals’ right here, Orszag never reported that Gruber was paid and paid very well to support Obamacare. Conflict? Yes, Transparency? No! There’s more so read on.

Behind Closed Doors, Unions Win, You Lose 1/14/09

Yesterday, President Barack Obama, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and nine other lawmakers met face-to-face for seven hours to resolve differences between the House and Senate health care bills. At the same time these talks were going on, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern and United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger met with other Obama administration officials in a separate room in the White House. This all comes after these same labor leaders met personally with Speaker Pelosi yesterday, and after they met face-to-face with President Obama in the White House on Monday. Despite then-candidate Barack Obama's explicit promises to the American people, absolutely none of these meetings were open to the public or televised on C-SPAN. In fact, Politico reports: "Those involved in the talks sought to keep details of their progress under wraps."

And just what deals were Big Labor, the leftist majorities in Congress and the Obama administration making behind closed doors? How to pay for President Obama's likely $1 trillion health care plan without raising taxes on one of the President's most loyal constituencies: labor unions. Specifically, Big Labor reportedly has struck a deal with health care negotiators to exempt union members from the 40% excise tax on high-priced health insurance premiums. By some estimates, the tax would hit one in four union members. Now Big Labor will get all of the big government health care spending they always wanted, but they will not have to pay for it.

And Obamacare's Big Labor handouts don't end there. The legislation also sets aside $5 billion to subsidize the costs of employer health benefits for early retirees. As Heritage fellow James Sherk notes, few nonunion employers, of course, pay pension and health benefits for workers to retire at 55. And then there's the small business exemption from the employer mandate for businesses with less than 50 employees. At first this applied to all small businesses, but after aggressive lobbying by Big Labor, non-unionized construction businesses were unexempted. Big Labor lobbyists explicitly admitted they wanted to use Obamacare's job-killing employer mandates as a competitive advantage to drive non-unionized firms out of business.

So where does the White House and Congress propose to regain the revenue lost from exempting unions from the health care excise tax? The people who fund job creation: investors. The Obama administration wants to apply the Medicare payroll tax not just to wages but to capital gains, and for the first time ever, to dividends and other forms of investment income. This tax will hit seniors the hardest since many of them live off their dividend and interest income, in addition to their pension and Social Security checks. But it also hurts us all since high taxes on capital gains, dividends, interest and business income increase the cost of capital, thus depressing investment at the very time the economy needs new investment to grow and create jobs.

Big Labor's high wages and inflexible work rules have already bankrupted our nation's once proud automobile industry. Across the country, their early retirement and exorbitant pensions are bankrupting states. The health insurance excise tax was once the signature health care spending cost cutter of Obama's entire health care plan. Now it has been gutted at the altar of Big Labor power. The big loser in all of these cases is you, the American taxpayer.
