If the Public Health Care system is so great how come countries like Spain, that already have it available still offer all government officials and employees private health care???
In Spain, 85% of the government employees and military members chose private health care over the public one.
Meanwhile, ALL private employees are forced to pay for the public health care whether they also have a private insurance or not. The reason is simple. The government wants their employees healthy and wants them to get well soon so they can go back to work....
This is exactly what will happen here thanks to Obama. People like me that has, and will always have, private health care will be taxed for a free health care that I will never use... They better call it Welfare plain and simple...
How frustrating...

As some of you may know, Wanda Sykes is scheduled to host a show on Fox in the Fall of 2009 (http://www.wandasykes.com/press_pop.php?pressRele...
This is an outrage after her comments last weekend. If you want to help please send the following email to scott.grogin@fox.com
"Mr. Grogin:
I am a concerned Fox viewer, and I would like to raise a complaint about Wanda Sykes.
She is scheduled to host a late Saturday night show beginning Fall 2009, but after her very unfortunate remarks during the May 2009 White House Correspondents' Dinner, I would hope that Fox reconsiders her capabilities and judgment to fill that position.
Honestly, I do not believe her serious mistake during that event shall be rewarded with the honor of becoming a host on a Fox program. I am confident there are more qualified candidates for such position.
Thank you very much for your consideration."

My father in Europe owns a Fiat. It had many electronic/electrical issues but they are mechanically sound. I still do not like them and, quite frankly, would probably never buy one here in the US. There are many other options like a Chevy Aveo that would work out better.

This is a brilliant idea. We should reduce the federal government to a President and the White House Secretaries. Once a month, or more if necessary, the President and the Governors could meet and discuss relevant issues.
Get rid of the unnecessary Federal Congress and put the legislative power back to the respective states' senates.

Inflation is on our way, and guess who will be hit the hardest... The retired people! Their savings will be worth less and less until they go bankrupt. Imagine you are 80, and have $500,000 in your account. That means you could buy 25 cars for example. If inflation kicks in (let's say 10% which, it would not be "too" bad), your money will now only buy you 22 cars the next year, 20 the next, 18 the next... that is, in just 3 years, your savings will buy 25% less goods...
By the time Obama leaves office, people living in fixed incomes (like the retired people for example) will have to cut expenses by a fourth to maintain their standards of living. You tell me how can this match his predictions of the economy growing at over 6% in the next few years!
Plus, my analysis does not include the devastating effects of worldwide investors abandoning the dollar and stopping investing in the US!!!
