Hooray. Not the government's job to do medical research. DROP DEAD YOU ASS! It is also not our business to be in Iraq!

Which would have still happened regardless. Maybe if we cut medicaid we could get these people back? If we just took back the tax cuts to the top 10% we could afford a lot of things we need a lot more then the tax cut to the wealthy!

Reply By: danielost Posted: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 The tax increases MUST come from those that can afford it and from the people that got the big windfall from the Bush tax Cuts! How do you know who can and cannot afford more taxes. Again you assume that the rich don't have major problems like someone on cancer or needing a heart transplant. Or replacing a building that just blew up. The proposa

Reply By: Island Dog Posted: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 This is the issue-- families with incomes from $21,000 to $50 or 60,000 can not afford a $7-8,000 premium for health insurance. “You keep using a number that is not realistic for most people.” What numbers are not realistic? Health insurance ( Blue Cross) for single women in PA is $450/mo. Family Coverage is over $800 per month. You may be able to obtain health ins

Reply By: Island Dog Posted: Monday, November 05, 2007 I did not say that. I would like everyone to be covered and be able to afford coverage. And who is going to pay for it? We don't need more social programs; we need to cut what we have already. The federal government is not responsible for an inviduals health care.

So you want socialized healthcare? The person who whines the most about budgets would have no problem with the federal government handling health care? . I did not say that. I would like everyone to be covered and be able to afford coverage. And I suppose democrats who want illegal’s as a new voting class will? The same way republicans want cheep labor for businesses.<

This Blog is about the danger in Pakistan and the fact that Bush does not know what to do. We have most of our forces in Iraq where they should NEVER have been sent We need them in Afghanistan and if Bush had not sent the majority to Iraq, he would have been able to eliminate al-Qaeda who attacked us on 9/11! There is NOTHING that is working in the Moslem world. It is hard to believe how inept Bush and his Sec of State appear to be.

Should I save that quote gene? Because if a democrat like Hillary is elected, she is going to force more social programs on America. The only way we will get more social programs is if BOTH congress and the president enact them.

Hmmm, for a guy who claims to have knowledge about business you sure do show yourself to know very little if anything. My company has had to let go people, and what do the Depts who lose people have to do now that they are short handed? Ever head of working a little harder and picking up the slack? Do you honestly believe that people are not capable of doing more than they are currently doing when working in a fully staffed job? It's sad to s

By the way 2007 congress was controlled by the demowhackheads. The 2007 Budget was approved by the GOP Controlled Congress. All these cuts were proposed by Bush and Rubber Stamped by the GOP Controlled Congress. The first budget for the Congress controlled by the Democrats is the 2008 budget.

Reply to The Impact of More Bush Policies in Politics JoeUser Forums

I thought you said that the congress controls the spending. So if these cuts took place then it was the congress that OKed it. What has taken place for the first 6 years of Bush is that Congress Rubber Stamped what Bush included in the Budget. Congress in essence allowed Bush to set the spending by passing what ever he suggested! Bush now believes that he is the decider when it comes to the Budget. He needs to read, or have LA

In the past I have concentrated the major policies on the Bush Administration. This Blog will document some lesser choices made by Bush and enacted into law by the GOP controlled Congress from 2001-2007. Bush cut funding for the IRS which has REDUCED the number of agents at a time when we need to insure we collect all the taxes due under existing la

Reply By: Daiwa Posted: Sunday, November 04, 2007 The Congress has the power of the budget, provided they can pass one & have it signed into law by the President, according to the dictates of the Constitution. If a budget bill is vetoed, the Congress has a remedy. You are quite right that it is Congress's job to take control. Let's see them do it. Quit blaming Bush for Congress's actions or inactions.

This is called the power of the veto. Why do you think the founding fathers didn't go with a prime minister? Prime ministers answer to the legislators not the people. Our president answers to the people. HE IS NOT FOLLOWING WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT) This is called the power of the vote. Sorry that does not make sense. The Constitution says Congress sets spending not the President. By using the veto, it requires a super majority to pass appropri
