There he goes again. Every month he cuts the USA a little more. Let him keep it up because it will all come back in 2010 and 2012.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) presented his members Thursday with more than a dozen ways to pay for health care legislation, ranging from new fees on industry to an income
-tax hike on couples making more than $1 million a year.

Faced with a $320 billion hole in his reform plan, Baucus revisited options that were considered in the past, but never emerged as top-tier options because he believed taxing employer-provided health benefits was the best way to provide that revenue.

The Senate Democratic leadership nixed the idea this week, saying the caucus could not support it because it would hurt the middle class. They asked Baucus, who was closing in on a deal, to go back to the negotiating table and find a more politically viable plan to pay for the $1 trillion reform bill.

I'm an independent and he lost my vote as soon as he formed an "exploratory committee" to run, just a few months after he promised he wouldn't run. I will never believe anything he says.

Even leftist Pew Hispanic Center
admits illegals draining state

As California lawmakers struggle with a budget gap that has now grown to $26.3 billion, one of the hottest topics for many taxpayers is the cost to the state of illegal immigrants.

The question of whether taxpayers should provide services to illegal residents became a major political issue in California's last deep recession, culminating in the ballot fight over Proposition 187 in 1994. That history could repeat itself in the current downturn, as activists opposed to illegal immigration have launched a campaign for an initiative that would, among other things, cut off welfare payments to the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants. Those children are eligible for welfare benefits because they are U.S. citizens.

State welfare officials estimate that cutting off payments to illegal immigrants for their U.S.-born children could save about $640 million annually if it survives legal challenges.

California has roughly 2.7 million illegal residents, according to an April 2009 report from the authoritative Pew Hispanic Center, accounting for about 7% of the state's population. State officials estimate that they add between $4 billion and $6 billion in costs, primarily for prisons and jails, schools and emergency rooms. Beyond those services, the illegal population adds to the overall cost of other parts of local government, from police and fire protection to highway maintenance and libraries.

They don't even have to cut them off to save.. when I worked at the welfare office they base your check on the entire number in the home.. therefore a child born in the U.S. to illegal parents is a considered family of 3 .. therefore everything is based on a family of 3.. it's NOT based on 1 child with no parents.. that's how the government is getting over on the taxpayers when they say that they are NOT giving money to illegals.. So their check reflects what a family of 3 needs in food stamps and cash the only thing the illegals don't get is the medical card for themselves..
