Exactly. This is exactly the type of bureaucratic mess government run health care would look like. while i appreciate the feedback, it's funy how the righties are trying to change the subject from the VA problem and seeking a solution and just attacking government health care...something i never mentioned in this piece. any thoughts on oversight and how we might possibly improve the system? i know ya'll are against any kind of plan that might i

actually guy, i don't want to get into a silly lil pissin contest with ya here... let me just try to redirect the convo and ask you this... do you think that it is a good idea to borrow money from china to spend on energy from unstable countries, many of which are knee deep in terrorists, and blow it all into the air till we can't breathe? if ya do, and feel we should do nothing, fine. but i think we would serve ourselves so much better to URGENTLY redirect that patter

Yea, real reasonable. Want to buy a bridge in brooklyn? what isn't reasonable is taking 15 years or so of work and nitpicking 2 paragraphs that like you accuse me of, don't back anything up with facts, only make accusations... The Times quoted Don Easterbrook, an emeritus professor of geology at Western Washington University, as telling hundreds of experts at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America that "I don't want to

What I love about the story is that as a disabled vet I have watched how vets have been treated the last 25 years and no one seemed to care when the Democrats and liberals are in power. If I remember correctly Walter Reed was slated for closure back in the 90's so this was not new or solely a democrat or republican thing. The best part is this is how governmet run health care will look like. Socialized medicen at its beet actually palladin,, i whole hea

just a note,,,coming out of his house testimony, en route to his senate testimony, al was swarmed with reporters, mostly asking about a presidential run. he made the following points... 1) he has no intention of running (he said it in several different ways) 2) he enjoyed hearing "the other side" 3) he thought that both sides made good points 4) felt that working together and bipartisanly was the only way to go sounded pretty reasonable to me...

How is Congress to meet its responsibilities and look at the way this administration has run the country when Bush shields his staff from the congress? good segue to the article i wrote after posting this... Link

It is time for Congress to look at all areas of this government. The mismanagement and out right malfeasance in office of Bush and those he has appointed to run our government is beyond belief. absolutely. if this admin was a company, they'd be audited from top to bottom. heads would roll, the stock holders would have demanded it a long time ago. we have gotten 4 years of no oversight from congress, who is essentially our proxy representatives in the go

Hmm....still don't see anybody complaining about democratic spending. i believe i did, tho in fairness, i did put it in context of a "lesser of 2 evils" as i see it with the choices and climate we have. and ya gotta admit dog, that the way they did it was pretty smart, and it probably is the best chance they have for any kind of success with their agenda. many of the projects are those "unsexy" but pretty worthwhile ones, especially the bon

What Is A Fair Profit? in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

this is a subject that often does spark some good debate. There are many theories on how much someone "should" make when offering a product or service. Pure capatalist types, contend that "whatever the market will bear" is the only way to go. They contend that all other factors are irrelevant. They are more comfortable in a realm where laws such as "supply and demand"

I love it when people assert that global warming has been proven to be man-made and is a scientific fact. go check reply #11...actually read the linked article and see that i did not assert that whatsoever Why do we not hear more from those scientists? Because the media doesn't report on them as it's not the scary story they need for ratings. no, because they are a very minor group of fringe scie

Blogging, the art of spewing forth text onto the web for all to read, usually in some sort of personal journal sort of format, has turned 10. maybe the term blogging has turned 10, but i've been "posting" articles and "blog type" things on the web for much longer than that. anyone remember prodigy message boards? those of us who aren't computer programmers used to "publish" on sites like that. i am curious tho,,,what was

In 2001, Congress rubber stamped the Patriot Act with the blessing of the vast majority of American people. But after the "bumpersticker" and "wear it on your sleeve" brand of patriotism wore off for some, they began to question the constitutional ramifications and loss of civil liberties it would cause our great nation. Of course, in the style that we all have bec

From Newsweek: March 20, 2007 - The poor conditions uncovered at Walter Reed Army Hospital may be only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sub-standard treatment of veterans. At the Veterans Administration hospital in West Los Angeles, hospital administrators confirmed to NEWSWEEK and NBC News last week that five veterans there died of overdoses of illega

I dispute the unproven belief that with the evidence gathered so far does not point to man as the cause of global warming. The Working Group I Summary for Policymakers (SPM) was published on February 2, 2007[7]. Its key conclusions were that[8]: Warming of the climate system is unequivocal Most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely (greater than 90% likely) due to the observed
