Bill Would Require Doctors To Report How Fat Or Thin Your Child Is To The Feds
Not a big deal at first, but the next logical step is to threaten states with loss of funding if the kids are too fat. Then the laws forcing a government approved diet and monitoring follow.
I know, you liberals out there are screaming “but if the parents won’t do it, we have to”. And I would agree, if you had a record of getting ANYTHING right. The liberal agenda in schools has resulted in dumber kids who drop out. When governments (especially liberals) parent kids, the kids always lose.
A bill introduced this month in Congress would put the federal and state governments in the business of tracking how fat, or skinny, each child in American is.
The bill would require states that receive federal dollars for health programs to track the Body Mass Index of children ages 2 through 18 annually through records collected by their health care providers. The legislation also requires the states to pass that data on to the Department of Health and Human Services for analysis.
Obama Drastically Cuts Anti-Terror Funding To NYC 11 Days After Car Bomb Attempt, Then Heads There For Fundraiser.
Obama at his best. working hard to make Muslims happy and put the US at risk.
This one writes itself. Billions to Muslim nations and Muslim "entrepreneurs" and "fakestinian" terrorists and ummah outreach. But the middle finger to "hymietown" Jesse Jackson must be dancing naked in his mistress’s boudoir.
By their fruits we shall know him, and so we know B. Hussein.
White House decides to slash New York anti-terrorism funds 11 days after Times Square Bomb Try NY Daily News
Eleven days after the botched plot to bomb Times Square, the Obama administratio on Wednesday slashed some $53 million from the city’s terror-fighting budget.
To top it off, the news comes as President Obama comes to town today to tap the city’s deep pockets for the Democratic Party.
"The President seems more interested in raising money for political campaigns than providing New York the money it needs to defend itself against Islamic terrorism," said Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.), the top Republican on the Homeland Security Committee.
The cuts, to be announced Thursday, target the annual allocations for transit security and port security, legislators said.
The New York City area will get $111million for transit security in the final 2010 budget – a 27% chop from last year’s $153 million. The port security program is getting chopped from $45 million to $33.8million – a cut of 25%.
"The fact that the Obama administration would cut New York’s homeland security funding just 11 days after the Times Square car bomb attempt is dangerous and unconscionable," King said.
Hot Air » Dems to push $200 billion in spending before Memorial Day recess
Yeah, I sure am glad the Dems passed that wonderful “Pay-Go” requirement.
Barack Obama has done a lot of posturing lately as a deficit hawk, especially after signing the Pay-Go legislation that supposedly requires Congress to pay for any new spending with new revenues or spending cuts elsewhere. Since passing that rule in February, Democrats have repeatedly waived it in order to pass smaller bills. With just a couple of weeks left before the Memorial Day recess, they’ll push legislation that will cost more than $200 billion — none of which will meet the Pay-Go requirement:
Congress faces a crush of votes on big-ticket items before the Memorial Day recess, setting up a debate on deficits less than six months before the November elections.
Democratic leaders are looking in the next three weeks to send President Barack Obama a slew of measures that cost more than $200 billion, including a multiyear extension of unemployment benefits, an extension of expiring tax provisions and Medicare doctor payments totaling $180 billion and a $33 billion Afghanistan war supplemental bill.
Because most of those costs won’t be paid for, Republicans plan to use those bills and the Democrats’ budget blueprint to highlight massive deficits ahead of the congressional midterm election. Republicans have recently been pointing to Greece’s dismal fiscal situation as a warning, claiming that the U.S. will be headed for a similar fate unless the deficits are curtailed.
“Washington Democrats’ out-of-control spending spree is scaring the hell out of the American people,” said Michael Steel, a spokesman for House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio). “It has to stop.”
Hot Air » Dems to push $200 billion in spending before Memorial Day recess
“Euro-socialism is on the verge of collapse”. Don’t worry, guys. Even though its proven to fail, Obama will push it here.
Why are we pushing this crap when the EU is falling apart because of it?
Undoubtedly just a mental lapse on his part to admit this.
…EU president Van Rompuy warned that the bloc risks irrelevance and the end of its expensive welfare programs if it can’t speed up economic growth, forecast to expand by just 1 percent this year.
"With 1 percent growth we can’t finance our social model any more. With 1 percent structural growth we can’t play a role in the world," he told the World Economic Forum in Brussels. "We need to double the economic growth potential that we now have."
Many are skeptical that can be achieved…
So just as the Europeans are clue’ing up that their shit don’t work, and money really doesn’t grow on trees, the US is dumbing down and looking to follow their failed example.
Are you Freaking Stupid?
