How Ted Kennedy's Death Could Derail Economy

I have not seen any detailed analysis but I am guessing there has to be some concern that the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy could adversely affect the economy.

Liquor sales are bound to be down by double digits and self defense classes for women should see enrollment decline sharply.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

Re: How Ted Kennedy's Death Could Derail Economy

ttp://www.redstate.com/izoneguy/2009/08/30/majority-rule-on-health-care-reform-nyt-opinion/

And now the ghost of Ted Kennedy will be urging all those blue dogs to win one in his memory.

I don’t have to post the stats on why Socialized healthcare won’t work. I don’t have to post why tort reform is not in this bill. I don’t have to post the hours & hours of townhall videos showing American’s expressing their displeasure with this bill, their congress and their president.

I leave you with this:

1. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - you have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.

2. Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.

3. Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke.

4. The “War on Poverty” started in 1964 - you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to “the poor”; it hasn’t worked and our entire country is broke.

5. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you’ve had 44 years to get it right; they are broke.

6. Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke.

7. Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the “Stimulus”, the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009… None show any signs of working, although ACORN appears to have found a new sucker - the American taxpayer.

8. And finally, to set a new record: ”Cash for Clunkers” was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American taxpayers take the hit for Congress’ generosity in burning three billion more of our dollars on failed experiments.

So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that “services” you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system?

20% of our entire economy?
With all due respect,
Are you crazy, are you just stupid, or do you just think that we are crazy or stupid?

Socialism is a failed experiment.

It is my understanding that there has been an uptick in Volcanic activity since Ted died as hell is trying to give him back?

Yes. Let's give the guy credit for his compassion. He wanted good health care for EVERYONE. Everyone except single women riding in the back seat after a party.
