    NJ Gov Christie to be probed.

    I think that thinking would have applied many years ago. AKA "Little House on the Prairie".:D With todays infrastructure, I don't think individuals have the ability to rebuild electrical grids, sanitation, and a whole list of other items.

    Disappearing Industry

    Could show some potential. But of course we need to replace the mining industry with solar.:rolleyes: We seen how well Solyndra went. Why not double down.

    Most of the mining in WV is underground.

    I would say both are currently under siege.

    Our clueless president

    Oh, I don't know. "Clueless" or just wanting to be a dictator?

    If you have a by-pass valve, it isn't closing. Hot water is circulating in the heat unit as the AC is on. AC can't overcome the hot coolant. Outside of that, it could be the rear expansion valve. A few quick tests can determine that.

    Disappearing Industry

    That is the stupidity in which our government operates and then they wonder where all the jobs are. They will say all the jobs are going overseas, but a closer look starts to look like that may not be the case any longer.

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    It does. And here are your winners who are looking to cash in when those rates start to rise. China Now Owns a Record $1.317T of U.S. Government Debt | Fox Business

    Disappearing Industry

    Once again the government is out to destroy an industry without even thinking. If they want to dismantle the coal industry, would it not make sense to say move and train these people in the natural gas industry before wiping out the mining industry? Ok, no. That might make sense. Nope, we...

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    Yep. It will get ugly if there is any significant rise in interest rates pertaining to the national debt. That is why they need to shut down a lot of the spending. That's entitlements, all the way to Walmart tax breaks, to foreign aid, and all the other goofy stuff we waste money on...

    NJ Gov Christie to be probed.

    That would be the preferred way, but most states no longer have the financial resources to handle a major disaster. Since they can't print money like the Fed, they are tapped out.

    NJ Gov Christie to be probed.

    There is a good reason to have FEMA as I mentioned, but there is no question it is run poorly. It would be more effective if they took the politics out of it and cut some of the red tape that isn't necessary. Most of it is duplication that is nothing but a costly time waster.

    NJ Gov Christie to be probed.

    FEMA is a mess with how it is ran. Been that way for years. Look at Katrina and the latest Sandy disaster. Still a mess, but I think you still need a agency to help when disasters strike. A person by themselves isn't going to jump in and suddenly rebuild the infrastructure after a storm.

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    The 1935 Act provided for "old age" or retirement benefits, aid to dependent children, disability insurance, and unemployment insurance. Payments were made in lump sums until 1940 when a monthly payment system was put into place. And, it was paid for by workers. Workers made contributions to a...

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    That is exactly what they (being the government) are hoping for.

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    But the issue with deductibles as in my last post would be the same would they not? A policy outside of the network works the same way.

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    Maybe depending on one's income. One also has to be mindful that is for one year. What about the following year? That is why it can turn ugly for some very quickly.

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    That makes a little more sense. The subsidy goes to the insurance company so they can offer you the rates that you are paying. The original premise of the thread was that Obamacare was a good thing. Even in your case, I'm not convinced. Mainly because at your income level or people in a similar...

    Ok...you changed it. Probably a good move.;)

    OVM, since this isn't "his America", what is this "New America" you speak of?
