Obama has thrown me out in the street.
Does anyone need a good roommate?
In 2014, I guess January, I will need to find a new place to live.
Right Now I don’t have Health Insurance.
And I barely am able to pay my mortgage. Luckily my 1999 f150 with 270,000 miles is paid for. Never mind Duct Tape is holding the Muffler and Tail pipe together.
THe company I work for closed in 2008 because of George Bush and Pres. Obama has put together a bunch of sound good mealy mouth programs like HASP and HAMP that don’t really do nothing, cause their voluntary on the part of the banks.
I now like many of us have a job that pays significantly less than what I used to earn. And my mortgage is now 51% of my Gross Income. My food budget IS $25 a week.
By 2014 I have to come up with at Least 300 dollars a month to pay the IRS for the priviledge of not having health insurance or paying even more to have Health Insurance.
A new car is cheaper. Don’t see a lot of Americans driving a new car.
I guess I will have no choice but to load up the truck and Abandon my home.
PS Fuck Everybody.
Just sayin.
Um not for nothing but have you been keeping up with the news lately Roscoe…?
The health care bill was ruled Constitutional by SCOTUS….if you don’t have healthcare it’ll be because the Republicans vote to repeal the universal health care bill now know as Obama Care….
🙁

I feel for you, buddy. Going through some tough times due to lowered income myself. I understand, but I think you may be a bit off on what’s going to happen in 2014. If can choose to not buy health insurance (which will at that time be available to your at a subsidy, with lots of companies competing for your business on a state exchange [I can’t be sure, but I’m guessing it’ll be around the price of car insurance, say $150/mo]), and you will be taxed, come tax time, not every week, at a rate of ONE PERCENT of your income… so if you’re making $25K/yr, that’s $250 for the year.
Let’s say you’re not getting a refund from which they could deduct the penalty, you know what happens to you if you don’t pay it? Nothing. The Affordable Care Cat…er…Act specifically says that no criminal or civil suits can be brought because someone chose not to pay the penalty.
I hope the subsidy isn’t voluntary like HASP, HARP and HAMP. To qualify for HAMP your Mortgage Payment needs to be more that 31% of your Gross pay monthly. My Mortgage payment is a little more than 50% of my Gross Pay. I apply and apply for a Modification through HAMP with my Mortgage company and they tell me it is processing for Months and then they turn me down and ask me to apply again.
In all honesty I think Obama is Full of Shit. I can’t stand the man. I hate him with the same passion I hate George Bush with. I turn him off whenever he is on Television. I think he is a LYING scum bag that has no idea how the Working Poor are living. What it is like to be a Temp worker. And what it means to allow programs like HAMP be at the discretion of the Mortgage company.
The Republicans and Democrats are playing Good Cop/Bad Cop with us. As the Rich get Richer and our rights and the Labor movement is destroyed and the workers of America are in all effect slaves.
What piece of Legislation Do you like that has been introduced by Obama?
