I think Sandy is referring to Henry's chicken little routine.

and you see no concern for economic hardship due to this legislation?

[Sandy Eggo]

Ex is correct

[Henry Hawk]

Ex is correct

and I ask YOU the same question...

[me]

and you see no concern for economic hardship due to this legislation?

Now Henry don't you know since that health care bill passed jobs are gonna suddenly open up and health care costs are gonna go down?  The economy should start booming any time now.

Indoor tanning salons will charge customers a 10 percent tax beginning in July in one of the changes Americans will see as a result of the U.S. health-care overhaul signed into law by President Obama...

and so it begins.............not that I give a rats ass about tanning salons, but it IS the start of "controlling" people...next will it will be a ban on milk shakes or french fries?

and THAT my friends is the base to ALL of this...CONTROL!...

but, as I say, TIME will TELL the truth....I'am going to sit back and point them out to you as they happen...cause IT is going to happen...because of irrational, irresponsible citizens allowed this legislation to happen.

and YEAH, I'm mad as hell....

First of all, no one is being fired as of this moment. In fact, since Sallie Mae is nationwide that 2,500 will be spread nationwide. They will still be servicing student loans, just not originating them. The impact is not understood at this time surrounding SM and we should wait until it is before throwing rocks.

It is going to save the government millions though. . .

And that 10% tax on tanning beds? Well, let's see - they have been shown to exponentially increase the incidence of melanoma (cancer). We tax the living shit out of tobacco, so why not tanning beds?

See, this is what happens once you start a sin tax and begin imposing it. The arguments against smoking and tobacco use, and booze, are the very same thing. . .

How?

[Palehorse]

How?

Loan originating services and fees charged by student loan administrators. Those will be eliminated once the government begins originating them. . .(And before you say it, yes; it includes the cost of hiring headcount to fill the new positions. )

WASHINGTON — Along with the major health care legislation, the House on Sunday approved a major revamping of federal student loan programs that eliminates fees paid to private banks to act as intermediaries.

Instead, the government will expand a direct lending program, a step that the Congressional Budget Office said would save taxpayers $61 billion over 10 years, and use the money to increase Pell grants for students.. .

Ah, more government jobs and less private sector ones in other words.

Just an expansion of an already existing program. . .

And one that will save the American taxpayers 61 BILLION dollars over the next 10 years. Now, I thought one of the main gripes you folks had was cutting costs. . . well, they just cut costs by billions. . .
