House Passes Spending bill that will Defund ObamaCare!!

What a morning it has been in the House! The Representatives on both sides stood up and spoke out today against the healthcare law. It is a great day! It has been before the House 47 times; 47 times it took for them to vote to stop Obamacare while funding the government to prevent a shutdown. The vote was 230-189. The House of Representatives made a big leap today having listened to the people of America!! It is now time for the bill to go before Senate and for it to be voted on.

Each day new regulations come to light in the healthcare world making it harder and harder on practices who are trying to make a difference in the lives of their patients. It’s hard trying to save the world when you have to debate an insurance company over the phone on why a patient needs diagnostic testing; we should not have to explain why a patient needs a stress test if he has a history of heart concerns and heart palpation's. I see people hurt by this law already, and it is frustrating.

Along with Cleveland Clinic and UPS this week Home Depot came out saying that because of health care cost they would be dropping their full time employees to part time so that they would not have to pay into the horrible health care cost. At my own job this week I found out that my insurance is going to increase more than 20 dollars for just me. That is more than 40 plus dollars a month, and I’m a current health care working. This health care is not creating jobs Mr. President. It is as Rep Eric Cantor said “Obamacare is turning America from a full-time to a part-time America.” Here is a list of other company's that are cutting hours do to high healthcare cost and insurance changes. 

I ask you to pray and encourage our leaders in the senate to vote on what is best for the people of America.  Listening to the people of America should not be a limited exercise. We need the leaders in the senate to bring this to the senate floor and have this healthcare debate.

Hears to hoping Senate follows the House in listening to the people of America.

Sunshine Girl in Red.

For the Record the government shutdown is a political game that no one has time to play!

No Taxation Without Representation.

Internet sales tax is back! It will be the next big vote to go through Senate.  Kinda funny, right? (or is it just me that laughed out loud when I read the headlines) It appears to be another one of Washington’s bad idea, at a time when consumers and businesses are struggling to get by. *Cough *Cough, Obama care regulation. 

The proposed law would enable states to force businesses to collect sales tax from customers who live in their state—even when the businesses have no connection to that state. The S. 743 improperly named as the "Marketplace Fairness Act"  gives the power to states to force out of state businesses to serve as a tax collector, which overrules the U.S. Supreme court's 1992 decision in Quille Corporation v. North Dakota. 

Its as simple as this- True, states are struggling with budgeting.  True, They should be able to manage their budgets. False, They should not be able manage their debt by trying to collect taxes from citizens from other states. I'm sure those citizens are paying enough in tax in their own state, I know I am. 

I don’t see this no taxation without representation helping the economy locally or nationally. Sure, it would increase state tax collections percentage, maybe. Along with encouraging states to increase the size of their taxing powers, it also discourages free-market competition between states.
