Finance committee on healthcare in introducing its infinite amendments to amendments is indicative of lawmakers sophistry and insincerity, reducing the Senate to brazen dysfunction and embarrassment. Republican members clearly favor protecting the rates and profits of the health industry under the aegis of the free market, while the Democrats contort reform with double talk by insisting on “change” that barely changes anything because it is constr

I think I've stated it somewhere else that emotions get in the way of debating an issue sincerely most of the times and that it is a dangerous road to use emotions and aggrevating each other as a campaign strategy because emotions always blur things - but it is the american way. You're kidding, right? I mean, you do know you're in Joeuser land?

Does a finely manufactured product really need the Martha Stewart signature? Won’t any thick bath towel dry the rump as well? Though I was a devout fan of Ted Williams, I thought—granted, testimonials were rampant— it imbecilic for Sears to have him endorse all its sporting products. Unfortunately, I didn’t think that way when at thirteen years of age, I "walked a mile for a Camel" on Joe DiMaggio’s say-so.

What’s wrong with a change of heart? For seven years Bush never had a heart in Afghanistan, but when Obama "dithers" even though he had committed forces there as one of his first acts in office, now he’s hesitant over committing more. Bravo. However. It’s wrong to keep troops already there in suspension. I say, just get the hell out of there, including Iraq. Nor is there any point—in order to win—in bombing them back to the Stone Age because Afghans have never le

"rich people don't pay much in taxes because of the loopholes" No, it applies to almost everyone, but because the well-off have more bucks and have many avenues of shelter they manage to put away much more for a rainy day than do most others. May I suggest you look up Daschle's tax consultant?

You don’t hear much today about the nanny state even though it is displayed in the full dress of overwhelming force. Criticism of nanny is ordinarily directed toward the welfare mother, pubic housing, government employees, social security and Medicaid, Medicare, even national emergency handouts, which has now become financial behemoths as too big to fail, when in faith we are told, the free market is capable of taking care of itself. Much like insurance companies notorious for exorbitan

First of all, I don’t want to hear anymore about the poor sacrificing US taxpayer shelling out hard earned money for bailouts—it’s the hard working Chinese tax payer who’s doing the bailing out. Sure, our great grandchildren will eventually get the bill in the mail, but by that time it will be inconsequential inasmuch as China shall have claimed ownership of the good old USA. As for Geithner it’s too soon to judge—in light of current up
