inspector general report coming out next week will detail excess spending at the irs and this video will be spotlighted as an example of ways irs employees wasted taxpayer dollars. the irs is not defending it at all, telling cnn this video produced for a 2010 irs conference was unacceptable and inappropriate use of government funds. the irs and the government as a whole now have strict new policies and procedures in place to ensure that taxpayer funds are being used appropriately. we re told that cupid dance video cost $1600 to make. doesn t break the bank. but we re also told the irs spent a lot more, $60,000 to make a pair of different videos, spoofs of gill gans island and star trek. you can see the production value is better than the cupid dance. but it doesn t look like they spent much on acting lessons. sorry about the uniforms, captain. the dry cleaner gave me the wrong order. star light coffee while you wait. it s better than mcdonald s and
policies and procedures in place to ensure that taxpayer funds are being used appropriately. now, we re told that cupid dance video cost $1600 to make. certainly doesn t break the bank, but we also are told the irs spent a lot more, $60,000 to make a pair of different videos, spoofs of gilligan s island and star trek. you can see the production value is better than the cupid dance but it doesn t look like they spent much on acting lessons. watch this clip. sorry about the uniforms, captain. star like coffee while you wait, sir? it s better than mcdonald s and only twice the price. all this opens up yet another controversial front for the irs which of course is under fire from both parties for targeting tea party groups who are apply for tax exempt status. as for the upcoming report on excessive irs spending the new acting irs commissioner is calling the 2010 conferences that appeared to waste taxpayer dollars, quote, an unfortunate vestige from a prior error,
that. massachusetts is a model for getting everybody insured in a way that doesn t break the bank and doesn t put the government into the driver s seat and allows people to own their own insurance policies and not have to worry about losing coverage. that s what massachusetts did. all right, mister. we know you re distancing yourself because you want the gop nomination in 2012 but don t feel bad, mitt. you re not alone. here s a partial list of fellow republicans who have supported the health care mandate since their party first proposed it in 1993. senator robert bennett, senator kit bond, congressman william klinger, senator william s. cohen, senator john danforth, senator robert dole. okay. there are a lot of names here. let s speed it up a little. senator pete dmin chi, congressman wayne gilchrest. senator gordon. congressman grassley. senator hatch.
2009 would have to say about that. massachusetts is a model for getting everybody insured in a way that doesn t break the bank and doesn t put the government into the driver s seat and allows people to own their own insurance policies and not have to worry about losing coverage. that s what massachusetts did. all right, mister. we know you re distancing yourself because you want the gop nomination in 2012 but don t feel bad, mitt. you re not alone. here s a partial list of fellow republicans who have supported the health care mandate since their party first proposed it in 1993. senator robert bennett, senator kit bond, congressman william klinger, senator william s. cohen, senator john danforth, senator robert dole. okay. there are a lot of names here. let s speed it up a little. senator pete dmin chi, congressman wayne gilchrest. senator gordon. congressman grassley.
until 2014, that will expose the hoax. the republicans want to say we are against big government socialist obamacare, not even begun, not phased in a few years, but they don t want to spend a dime to insure the uninsured and have to find a way together to say we got to make sure that people who have low income have a way to get basic health coverage and we do it in a way that doesn t break the bank. every other advanced country does it mighty singapore does it 4% of gdp, we are spending 17% of gdp, trillions that don t have to be going to the medical investor. singapore doesn t used an employer-based health insurance monopoly. this is true. i don t understand on that score why the employers are fighting to stay at the heart of the american welfare state. they think it is a control issue. maybe a way to keep employees from quitting. really hurts small business because it is the advantage of the big guys they can offer the generous plans. there anyway that there is political vi
