First you have shown yourself to be a mark or
sucker for their ‘we were naked shorted’ lie never once even considering or caring that Bud Burrell who continues to lie about me and threaten my life from ‘we were naked shorted’
scam website thesanitycheck.con is involved as well as Mark Faulk,et.al. If any American soldiers were indeed victims of CMKX Diamonds that WAS THE FAULT OF THE VERY CRIMINAL MONEY LAUNDERERS WHO ARE EMAILING YOU TO CONTINUE YOUR UNFOUNDED CLAIMS ABOUT SO CALLED ‘NAKED SHORT SELLING’.
Please don’t and just say nothing more about the subject because you didn’t and don’t know what you were talking about from the get go.
You can still see on the SEC.GOV website the lies of the SEC and ex Chair Christopher Cox himself that Fannnie Mae and Freddie Mac and even your beloved Goldman Sachs were victims of ‘naked short selling’.
Someone should investigate ands expose the lie that was and is the ‘naked shorting’ claim but you are obviously not the one to do it.You probnably still think Patrick Byrne’s pump and dump money laundering op Overstock.con was ‘naked shorted’ and you probably berlieve it was a ‘Sith Lord’.Ha.
Investigate James Dale Davidson’s,David P Summers,Patrick Byrne’s,Mark Faulk’s,Bud Burrell’s(who probably is part of the faux christians who emailed you in chain and who Byrne pays to threaten me)and David Patch’s role in foistering fraudulent ‘naked shorting’
claims to cover up their SEC and U.S. government protected stock fraud and money laundering and money laundering ops.That will lead you to realize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were used by government insidersd to dump those shares and take American investors money offshore just like Enron that ex SEC Chair Chris Cox’s Latham Watkins law firm represented.Even James Dale Davidson’s National Taxpayers Union colleague Steve Forbes has lied about and spread the rumor lie that stocks were ‘naked shorted’.Why ? And why is their NTU office conventirntly located in Alexandria,Virginia near SEC headquarters and they have never been busted for all their penny stock frauds out of that office for all these years ?

My take–I love Kuttler but I don’t think that the he has a sense of the backlash that will come from the mandate to support for-profit health care companies. It’s not the same as a Medicare-for-All tax; people won’t see it the same way. Consider young, middle-income parents who suddenly might have to fork over 15% of their pre-tax income for insurance, knowing that those premiums will most likely support big salaries and older people’s health care: it won’t seem fair, and it will create life-long Republicans who will feel motivated to vote.

Against this, pro-health bill advocates will point to the millions of uninsured who will now be insured as new potential Democrats; after all, they’ll have something to lose. Maybe, maybe not: many of them don’t have insurance because they can’t pay for it.

An extension of Medicare to over 55 would have been a simpler approach–much–and good enough for now. I can’t understand why it was necessary for such an overshoot.

Someone should design and market a Sarcasm Font. It would make posting in online forums so much easier.

Much like Rove, Rahm Emmanuel has all the “charm” of a Pit Viper.

Obama has lot’s of charm. But deep down he’s another Rahm Emmanuel. Cold and calculating.

Kuttner’s “Pollyanna” takes on Obama in that interview were laughable. Sorry Robert, but if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

As always you do a great job of dissecting political machinations. I enjoyed watching you stand of for middle class Americans by pointing out just a very few of the glaring issues with the Senate healthcare bill. It is not something a true progressive, such as myself, can support. Mandating people to pay premiums without a strong public option is an absolute disaster for working middle class Americans.

The insurance companies will be pushing rate increases all the way up to 2014. 80% of uninsured Texans, the state where I live, are working full time jobs. They do not have insurance because they cannot afford the premiums now. What on earth makes this administration think that these conditions will change, especially considering our current economic climate.

This bill is a complete and utter sham designed to increase big Pharma and the insurance industries bottom line. Thanks for sticking to your principles and stating the obvious about this bill. Anyone who reads it, even just the summary, would know that it will not help them in the future.

Keep up the good work of keeping us informed. I always look forward to your articles in the Rolling Stone as well as your posts here on TrueSlant.
