Healthcare's E.R. Recovery: Confusion on the Mission Infusion

Jason: What's truly "Orwellian" is your continued distorted, perhaps even malign, refusal to accept standard authorities re beginning impact of process demanding some time, with any responsible citizen willing to understand necessities after 50 years of neocon debacle. Your evaluations fly in face of leading economists, top social scientists, and the most reliable, proven and well tested public reporting.

Time has come to put up or be revealed as cheap-shotter unable to substantiate any of your continuing reproaches to working Americans trying to rebuild and reshape whole U.S. system badly damaged by this kind of defy, deny, delay action, for obvious political pandering reasons. Awaiting your ID-response, for rapid sharing here with any further outcome, too.

What percentage of the Stimulus Bill has been spent? Is it less than 15%? The jobs it created, how many? Are they private jobs, the kind that create wealth? Or are they government jobs, the kind that consume wealth? Late last week they had headlines in many newspapers that stated that 17 states had quit losing jobs and that may mean the end of the recession. When you read further into the articles you would see the statement that "26 states had lost jobs." Now that is a pretty interesting way to evaluate the recession and jobs. I saw the same style of headline in three publications, though one had in their deck about the 26 states losing jobs. Kinda Orwellian.

Friend Lee: Could not agree more with your cogent, clear, rational and reasonable approach here. We need to learn and share as never before, with dialog and fact as essential for any progress we may accomplish. Here's "see with own eyes" which may help us to achieve that action: Why We Didn't Crash By E.J. Dionne Jr. Monday, August 24, 2009 www.nytimes.com SYDNEY -- The hardest slogan to sell in politics is: "Things could have been a whole lot worse." No wonder President Obama is having trouble defending his stimulus plan. If governments around the world, including our own, had not acted aggressively -- and had not spent piles of money -- a very bad economic situation would have become cataclysmic. But because the cataclysm was avoided, this is an invisible achievement. Many whose bacon was saved, particularly in the banking and corporate sectors, do not want to admit how important the actions of government were. Antigovernment ideologues try to pretend that no serious intervention was required. So everyone goes back to complaining about high deficits and the shortcomings of government as if nothing had happened. This is now creating problems for Obama on health care." --------------- Dionne then supplies in full detail much solid achievement from Australia and elsewhere, on both healthcare and other key issues.
