Another bait and switch scam



Did you think it was strange that we started out with "heath care reform" and we ended up with MANDATORY private health insurance?


I did and then I remembered research done by this man, Walter Burien.


He uncovered a simple, but vast and well hidden system whereby city, state, county governments and agencies have collectively syphoned many TRILLIONS of tax dollars for off-the-books investment accounts.


One of their favorite investments? Insurance companies.


Do you think that might be why the weasels in Washington magically pulled MANDATORY private health insurance out of their hats as a way of addressing the country's very real health crisis?

1. I've never heard of this guy before.
Is he telling the truth? According to him federal, state and local governments have huge funds they don't list as part of their operating revenue. So, when a politician says the state or federal government is operating in a deficit, they are only including a part of the money coming into the government.

Is he truthful?

I googled him and found very little about him except for this crusade to inform citizens about our governments spending.

2. I have been asking all along--Are Democrats privatizing HC?
The Republicans could never pull it off because the Left
would go ballistic.

The elites realize this. Just as Welfare Reform could only
be done by a Democrat--Clinton. Having a Democrat President
sign it made it bipartisan and the Democrats could carry the
credit or blame.

3. I think he's talking about investment funds
used to help finance pensions, education, economic development, job training, human services and what not.

6. Yes, but most of those types of funds are restricted by law.
Unless of course the legislature changes the law.

But when I went to his site, he made no mention of laws restricting access to such funds. Is he spinning?

4. I believe it...sounds right to me...
Isn't there also trillions of dollars that the Bush administration was holding on and refusing to release to that was supposed to belong to the American people? There was a big law suit going on over that and they had put the man they were supposed to pay it to in prison? What ever happened to that money>? Was it ever paid out? Did we ever get it?
I don't remember the name of the fund.
