"Ark,you may not know what is in store as this new program takes shape, but DO NOT RELY ON INFORMATION ON THIS FORUM. IT IS CORRUPT." That broad statement may or may not be valid depending on whether it is an individual's opinion or is a statement based on fact with adequate sources provided...

Regarding polls - Real Clear Politics is a good site to get a look at all the different polls and the disparities between them. It also gives an average of all the polls, which is helpful because the poll results are sometimes so different. Right now the average of Obama's ratings are 47.6...

No sense rehashing prior posts about the financial successes of MassCare, TennCare and Medicare. But since our Tall friend has trumpeted the glowing prospects of our future under radically liberal governance, maybe we should take a quick look at the Golden State to see how that philosophy has...

Don't forget it was Nixon who gave us wage and price controls (which proved to be ineffective controlling inflation) and led the US off the gold standard. He was by no means a conservative president and never was in his earlier years. Neither were the two Bushes, for that matter.

I usually don't copy and paste entire articles, but this one from the Wall Street Journal is short and to the point: There's your look into the crystal ball folks. These programs' costs are never anywhere near the politicians' projections. History has repeated itself once again, with...

I would also be very leery of Chase (or any mega-bank for that matter) as a lender. Maybe do a little research as to their reputation and how they treat their customers, especially if they happen to hit some rough sledding. Local banks and credit unions are usually far more reasonable to deal with.

The bigger problem that is tangential to Barack Hussein Obama's agenda is the complacency and gullibility of the American public. With the MSM being the willing accomplice for the Obama agenda, it cannot be taken for granted the public's memory will last until November. Thomas Sowell has a...

To expand on Turtle's link to LAProgressive.com - this is featured in their Authors section: Robert A. Letcher, Ph.D. is a political economist who describes himself as "an academic without portfolio, writer, political activist, and Qigong practitioner who tries to help people learn"...

OK, that gives us a more complete picture of the deal. And it's fair to say that the taunters weren't plants. However, I was still wondering why this guy would sit down right in front of the anti-healthcare crowd. Googling Robert Letcher gives us this article among many others: Connie Schultz...

My BS meter was ticking rather loudly while watching this one, for several reasons: The skeptic in me says why would the supposedly handicapped Parkinson's patient want to get involved in that mess at that location? It could be that the people in the crowd realized he was just another...

All good points, and remember the govt. figures were made on the basis of pie-in-the-sky revenue predictions based on an optimum economic conditions for the next 10-20 years. Just wait until the cost of this bill (if it doesn't get repealed or drastically changed before 2013) goes viral like...

I know it's early yet, and we still don't know what's in the bill even after congress having passed it - but I'd like to see someone with a qualified eye take a good look at the final result and determine how this legislation will effect the typical owner/operator that drives a straight truck...

"...the people working for insurance companies - That's the ticket! Yeah, that's what we'll tell them!" I can just hear that conversation going on in the Dingell staff's damage control meeting. I'd say the prudent thing to do in this case would be to form a judgement on what he ACTUALLY SAID -...

This article may have already been posted. If so, here it is again: Caterpillar: Health care bill would cost it $100M - Chicago Breaking Business $100 MILLION DOLLARS For the first year alone - That amounts to 2000 jobs at $50K per job. At about the same time CAT made this announcement they...

Disclosure: In general, I part ways with my conservative brethren on the issue of abortion because I believe women should have the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy during its early stages. I believe this position actually is consistent with conservative values because this decision...

I'm not following your figures, but in political polls, 17% is a really big difference - like landslide difference.

What is the big deal here? My wife did this and so did both my daughters with their kids. If the infant is hungry in public, feed him/her with your boob covered- most people won't notice. Those that do notice won't care unless they're lurking for a look to see nature at work. Much ado about nothing,

Indeed, the website is a pro Israel site and promotes their viewpoint. Of the many sources available to offer I chose that one to counterbalance your pro Palestinian / pro Arab viewpoint. In spite your name calling and spewing prejudicial adjectives I don't see a single instance of refuting the...

Actually, your guess was only off by 2%. The Real Clear Politics average of polls taken on Congressional approval shows a 77% DISAPPROVAL RATING. RealClearPolitics - Election Other - Congressional Job Approval On the same site you'll find that 50.2% disapprove of the health care bill while...

A qualified yes - if the management team was like the one prior them becoming part of Rodeway. The operations group as well as the sales and marketing guys were top notch and understood the drivers AND customers. That basic business model would be successful today no matter how much competition...
