The first meeting of the G-20 nations in April came at the height of the global financial crisis ? a crisis that required unprecedented international cooperation to jumpstart the world?s economies and help break the downward spiral that enveloped all our nations.At next week?s summit, we?ll have, in effect, a five-month checkup to review the steps each nation has taken ? separately and together ? to break the back of this economic crisis. And the good news is that we?ve made real progress since last time we met ? here at home and around the world.In February, we enacted a Recovery Act, providing relief to Americans who need it, preventing layoffs, and putting Americans back to work. We?ve worked to unlock frozen credit mar...

I knew something was wrong with my body ? but it took six doctors, three mammograms and one ultrasound before they finally they found my cancer. This process took only a few weeks.Congresswoman Sue MyrickUnder the government-run healthcare system they have in Canada and the United Kingdom, I wouldn?t have had the opportunity to get those tests so quickly. One international study found that three times as many citizens in those countries wait longer than a month to see a specialist. When it comes to life-threatening diseases like cancer, delay could mean death.Every family that confronts a serious illness should have access to the highest-quality care at the lowest possible cost ? with no delays.Replacing your current healthcare with a government-run system is not the answer.Thes...

Obama's Health Care Address: That's About as Simple as It Gets
2009-09-10 05:52:00 Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Last night President Obama called upon congress to pass legislation overhauling the nation's health insurance system. If you haven't watched it, I recommend that you do. In the process of giving that speech, he tacked onto his public record a third piece of rhetoric that kids will probably read in history classes someday (or watch on some futuristic, less obnoxious version of YouTube). The first speech I'm talking about was his keynote address at the Democratic convention in '04, an essentially meaningless assurance that this divided country was less divided than it thinks. While this sentiment certainly has yet to pan out, it was nevertheless a poetic and...

Please click image to enlarge.UPDATE 9.9.09 @ 9:30 pm edt: the president began his speech at 8:17 pm edt, ended at 9:03 pm. I was interested to see what he was saying when Mars crossed the Ic of the chart, the Foundation Point. I now believe that it is primarily Mr. Obama who is signified by Mars due to his strong performance and an undercurrent of anger beneath it. When Mars 'jumped' the Ic at 8:33 pm the president had already begun detailing his plan and at 8:33 pm he mentioned setting up "a new insurance exchange, a marketplace" to increase competition, bring down costs, and which is envisioned to be operative "in four years." This tallies with Mars' Sabian Symbol here, as discussed below: "A Large Diamond Not Completely Cut." If a marketplace is set up, it will be worth a lot of diamonds, won't it?And since he actually began speaking at 8:17 pm, the ASC degree is most a...

Yesterday, we received a report showing that job losses have slowed dramatically compared to just a few months ago. Earlier in the week, we learned that the manufacturing sector has posted its first gains in eighteen months, and that many of the banks that borrowed money at the height of the financial crisis are now returning it to taxpayers with interest.These are only the most recent signs that the economy is turning around, though these signs are little comfort to those who?ve experienced the pain of losing a job in the previous month, or in the previous two years of this recession.That?s why it is so important that we remain focused on speeding our economic recovery. Throughout America today,...

As we remember all that was lost, we must take stock of the work being done on recovery, while preparing for future disasters. And that is what I want to speak with you about today.None of us can forget how we felt when those winds battered the shore, the floodwaters began to rise, and Americans were stranded on rooftops and in stadiums. Over a thousand people would lose their lives. Over a million people were displaced. Whole neighborhoods of a great American city were left in ruins. Communities across the Gulf Coast were forever changed. And many Americans questioned whether government could fulfill its responsibility to respond in a crisis, or contribute to a recovery that covered parts of four states.Since taking office in January, m...

Before I begin my remarks I want to acknowledge the loss of a great leader this week - one who?s influenced policy for almost half a century. Senator Ted Kennedy has been a tireless champion on a wide range of important issues and his voice will be missed in the Senate. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time.I would now like to take a few minutes to speak with you about the current health care reform debate in America. Across the country, people are concerned about the reform bills Democrats have proposed. I heard a lot of frustration and anger as I traveled across my home state this last few weeks.

We?ve had a vigorous debate about health insurance reform, and rightly so. This is an issue of vital concern to every American, and I?m glad that so many are engaged.But it also should be an honest debate, not one dominated by willful misrepresentations and outright distortions, spread by the very folks who would benefit the most by keeping things exactly as they are.So today, I want to spend a few minutes debunking some of the more outrageous myths circulating on the i...

Folks of every political persuasion understand the imperative of reform. But they want reform that keeps what?s good with our current system ? and fixes what?s not working ? without destroying our quality of care.The status quo in American health care is clearly unacceptable.Congressman Tom PriceRising costs, shrinking access, and third-party decision making are driving patients away from their doctors and the desired care that they seek.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak with all of you today to talk about the very important challenge of health care reform.Ensuring access to affordable and quality health care for every American is not a Republican or Democrat issue - it is an American issue. Our nation expects us to solve this challenge in an open, honest and responsible manner. More spending, more taxes and more government is not the answer.Senator Orrin G. HatchAfter the rushed stimulus bill, Americans are rightly concerned about what is being pushed through the Democratic Congress. The rush to pass something that will affect every American life and one-sixth of our economy has raised concerns all around our nation.So, why are Americans so skeptical of and concerned with the approach of the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress? A big reason for this concern is that nearly 85 per...

We learned that we lost 247,000 jobs in July ? some 200,000 fewer jobs lost than in June, and far fewer than the nearly 700,000 a month we were losing at the beginning of the year. Of course, this is little comfort to anyone who saw their job disappear in July, and to the millions of Americans who are looking for work. And I will not rest until anyone who?s looking for work can find a job.Still, this month?s jobs numbers are a sign that we?ve begun to put the brakes on this recession and that the worst may be behind us. But we must do more than rescue our economy from this immediate crisis; we must rebuild it stronger than before. We must lay a new foundation for future growth and prosperity, and a key pillar of a new foundation is health insurance...

Yesterday, we received a report on our Gross Domestic Product. That?s a measure of our overall economic performance. The report showed that in the first few months of this year, the recession we faced when I took office was even deeper than anyone thought at the time. It told us how close we were to the edge.But it also revealed that in the last few months, the economy has done measurably better than expected. And many economists suggest that part of this progress is directly attributable to the Recovery Act.This and the other difficult but important steps that we have taken over the last six months have helped put the brakes on this recession.We took unprecedented action to stem the spread of foreclosures by ...

But his policy goes up at least 20 percent each year, and today, it costs almost $1,400 per family per month ? his highest business expense besides his employees? salaries. He?s already had to let two of them go, and he may be forced to eliminate health insurance altogether.He wrote, simply: "I am not looking for free health care, I would just like to get my premiums reduced enough to be able to afford it."Day after day, I hear from people just like him. Workers worried they may lose their coverage if they become too sick, or lose their job, or change jobs. Families who fear they may not be able to get insurance, or change insurance, if someone in their family has a pre-existing condition. And small busin...

Republicans believe all Americans should have access to quality health care and that we must find ways to reduce health care costs.The debate in Washington is about how we can achieve these goals.Senator Jon KylRepublicans have put forward common-sense ideas, including rooting out Medicare and Medicaid fraud, reforming medical liability laws to discourage frivolous lawsuits, strengthening wellness and.......prevention programs that encourage healthy living and allowing small businesses to band together and purchase health insurance like large corporations do.These changes do not require government takeover of the healthcare system, or massive new spending, job-killing taxes or rationing of care.Democrats in Congress have a different approach.

But I also want to take a moment today to reflect on what I believe is the meaning of this distinctly American holiday.Today, we are called to remember not only the day our country was born ? we are also called to remember the indomitable spirit of the first American citizens who made that day possible.We are called to remember how unlikely it was that our American experiment would succeed at all; that a small band of patriots would declare independence from a powerful empire; and that they would form, in the new world, what the old world had never known ? a government of, by, and for the people.That unyielding spirit is what defines us as Americans. It is what ...
Senator John McCain Weekly Republican Address 07/04/09 VIDEO TEXT
2009-07-04 22:41:00 Weekly Republican Address 07/04/09 FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPTHi, I?m Senator John McCain.Today, we celebrate our independence, declared 233 years ago, achieved through the trial of a long and difficult war, and preserved through the years with the blood and sacrifice of millions. It?s an occasion for Americans to reunite with family and enjoy a mid-summer holiday with picnics and barbeques, ballgames and golf, and other recreation.Our appreciation for what happened on a hot summer day in Philadelphia all these years ago is often limited to a fleeting, warm feeling about an ancient generation of Americans who against great odds, stood up to a powerful oppressor, and claimed their natural right to liberty.This is an accurate but incomplete understanding of the revolution begun that day. For written on that piece of yellowed parchment is not only the bold assertion that thirteen former British colonies were and forever would remain free and independent states, but also the once radical idea ...

And for more than three decades, we have seen that dependence grow. We have seen our reliance on fossil fuels jeopardize our national security. We have seen it pollute the air we breathe and endanger our planet. And most of all, we have seen other countries realize a critical truth: the nation that leads in the creation of a clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the 21st century global economy. Now is the time for the United States of America to realize this too. Now is the time for us to lead. The energy bill that passed the House will finally create a set of incentives that will spark a clean ...
Representative John Boehner Weekly Republican Address 06/27/09 VIDEO TEXT
2009-06-28 02:01:00 Representative John Boehner Weekly Republican Address 06/27/09 TEXT TRANSCRIPT?I?m John Boehner, House Republican Leader. When I?m home in Ohio, I get an earful about the crushing debt Washington Democrats are running up. The President and Democrats in Congress claim this spending binge is necessary to put Americans back to work. They promised unemployment would not rise above eight percent if their trillion-dollar ?stimulus? was passed. But our nation has lost nearly three million jobs this year. Unemployment has soared above nine percent. And now the President admits that unemployment will soon reach double-digits. After all of this spending, after all of this borrowing from China, the Middle East, our children, and our grandchildren, where are the jobs??It?s about to get worse for middle-class families and small businesses. Democrats are pushing a government takeover of our health care system that will cost at least a trillion dollars. The President has repeatedly claime...

110 Superior: Paying for your address
2009-06-22 03:29:00 I accidentally came across 110 Superior last week at a political fundraiser held in a model unit. The new construction, half-floor, three-bedroom three-bath unit looked spectacular and having a party in the space was an interesting way to sell it: it gave some perspective as to how many people you could actually fit in the living area. Oh, and the views weren't bad either: This was taken from the floor-to ceiling window of the master bedroom. The building was developed by JFJ and designed by Hartshorne Plunkard. -The space and finishes definitely match the posh River North neighborhood, and so do the prices. With one bedroom +dens starting at $528,750 and topping out at $1.6 million for the unit we were in, you know you've made it if...

2009-06-21 00:06:00 Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address Saturday, June 20, 2009 Washington, DC PODCAST OF THIS ARTICLE Download MP3 4.16 mbAs we continue to recover from an historic economic crisis, it is clear to everyone that one of its major causes was a breakdown in oversight that led to widespread abuses in the financial system. An epidemic of irresponsibility took hold from Wall Street to Washington to Main Street. And the consequences have been disastrous. Millions of Americans have seen their life savings erode; families have been devastated by job losses; businesses large and small have closed their doors.In response, this week, my administration proposed a set of major reforms to the rules that govern our financial system; to attack the causes of this crisis and to prevent future crises from taking place; to ensure that our markets can work fairly and freely for businesses and consumers alike.We are going to promote markets that work for those who play by the rules. We?re goin...
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell Weekly Republican Address 06/20/09
2009-06-20 23:27:00 Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell Weekly Republican Address 06/20/09 FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPTHello. I?m Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky.Republicans and Democrats agree that health care is in serious need of reform. Americans are frustrated with the high cost of even basic treatments and procedures; millions are without coverage; and millions are worried about losing the care they have. That?s why many of us are calling for reforms that would bring down the cost of care and ensure that those who need coverage can afford and obtain it.Republicans have put forward common sense solutions like reforming our medical liability laws to discourage junk lawsuits that make health care more expensive for everyone; strengthening wellness and prevention programs that encourage people to make healthy choices, such as quitting smoking and fighting obesity; and addressing the needs of small business without imposing new taxes that kill jobs.Unfortunately, some in Washington ...
President Barak Obama Weekly Address 06/12/09 VIDEO TEXT
2009-06-14 20:18:00 Remarks of President Barack Obama Weekly Address Saturday, June 12, 2009 Washington, DC.Last week, I spoke to you about my commitment to work with Congress to pass health care reform this year. Today, I?d like to speak about how that effort is essential to restoring fiscal responsibility.When it comes to the cost of health care, this much is clear: the status quo is unsustainable for families, businesses, and government. America spends nearly 50 percent more per person on health care than any other country. Health care premiums have doubled over the last decade, deductibles and out-of-pocket costs have skyrocketed, and many with preexisting conditions are denied coverage. More and more, Americans are being priced out of the care they need.These costs are also hurting business, as some big businesses are at a competitive disadvantage with their foreign counterparts, and some small businesses are forced to cut benefits, drop coverage, or even lay off workers. Meanwhile, Medicare and M...
Congressman Mike Pence Weekly Republican Address 06/12/09 VIDEO TEXT
2009-06-14 20:17:00 Congressman Mike Pence Weekly Republican Address 06/12/09 FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPTI?m Indiana Congressman Mike Pence.Across the country gas prices and home utility bills are on the rise again. During these difficult economic times, higher energy prices impose a great hardship on families struggling to make ends meet. Unfortunately, the Democrat majority in Congress is embracing a national energy tax that will lead to even higher energy prices and massive job losses for the American people.President Obama even admitted that under his energy plan, utility rates would ?necessarily skyrocket.? If the Democrats? cap-and-trade bill were to become law, estimates suggest that the average American family would face up to $4,300 a year in extra energy costs and anywhere between 1.8 [million] and 7 million American jobs could be lost.That?s a heavy price to pay for a plan that will do very little to clean up our environment, since manufacturers will probably ship their plants, and their pollution...

Even as we speak, Congress is preparing to introduce and debate health reform legislation that is the product of many months of effort and deliberation. And if you?re like any of the Americans I?ve met across this country who know all too well that the soaring costs of health care make our current course unsustainable, I imagine you?ll be watching their progress closely.I?m talking about the families I?ve met whose spiraling premiums and out-of-pocket expenses are pushing them into bankruptcy o... |
