'This is Really Crazy, It's Not Worth All This'

Consider this a sneak preview of what to expect under ObamaCare. Long lines, rationing and a lot of angry people. Naturally this is taking place in a city controlled entirely by Democrats in a state governed by a Democrat. Just extrapolate it out across the nation and you'll get what Democrats love: Chaos.

Thousands of people jammed into Cobo Hall and lined up around the building to seek out housing aid from the federal government. It quickly turned into a mess with reports of fights and nearly a stampede.

People started lining up around midnight, but the real chaos broke out near the front entrance that leads to the ballroom.

Thousands of people jammed into too tight of a space. There were reports of fights and people passing out in the crowd.

One frustrated resident told Action News it was absolutely out of control.

"There was no organization whatsoever, we got down here this morning at 5 - 5:30 a.m. and it was calm, but then a mass of people came around 7:30 and took over, they pushed me down," said Tori Williams.

Karen Cox, another resident, couldn't believe what was happening.

"This is ridiculous, people falling out fighting. This is crazy. This is really crazy, it's not worth all this."

No, it isn't worth it.

Maybe they ought to try voting Republican. Then maybe they'd have some order in their lives.

Update: As if the state of Michigan isn't in dire straits, the genius Democrats in the House are looking to jack up taxes, including additional "fees" on doctors.

Democratic lawmakers have begun what could be an uphill fight to raise some taxes and find more revenue for a college scholarship program, health care, and local governments in Michigan.

The Democratic-led House passed bills Tuesday, mostly along party lines, that would increase fees on doctors and stop an inflationary increase in the personal income tax exemption from taking place. Another bill passed by the chamber signals the intent to reduce credits against Michigan's main business tax by up to 15 percent, saving more than $100 million, although the specifics would be subject to negotiation with the Republican-led Senate.

Bills that could be voted on as early as Wednesday would raise taxes on tobacco products except cigarettes and charge higher fees for liquor licenses that let bars serve alcohol until 4 a.m. Another bill would freeze or roll back an income tax credit for working low-income residents.

That ought to really please the residents of Detroit.
