This is crazy. First of all, Qatar doesn't have and won't have the infrastructure for a good 21st C. World Cup. Secondly, they'll get an automatic bid. Thirdly, they've ensured poor ratings with games being played in the middle of the night in many of the world's major markets.
No doubt we'll be fed stories to read in 2021 about how they're anticipating financial losses. No kidding!
Mr. Jones can thank his lucky stars he's a democrat. A democrat who makes a racially charged joke can remain employed.
Problem is this: When push comes to shove, whatever Republicans are in Washington when an opportunity comes will not have the balls to repeal this. They'll massage it, but they won't strike it down. What are the odds of having about 220 hard-core Capitalist Conservatives in the House and another 60 in the Senate? Because that's what it is going to take.
What part of "No" do they not understand?
If Atlas Shrugged had been written about the health care industry instead of the railroad industry, it would play out pretty much like what we're seeing today. This health summit is an example of the government trying to right its own wrongs by imposing more wrongs, right down to the comment that insurance companies shouldn't make a profit in this economic environment (Directive 10-289 anyone?).
This isn't rocket science: get the government out of health care altogether.
Amen. They sold us this bill of goods, and more and more Americans are figuring this out. How will the media ever control an election again if we see how much of a sham Obama is?
Science journalism... it's a great read. I love it when the media tries to report on actual science. They've been so used to reporting on junk science (global warming, anyone?) that when they're faced with the real thing, we get "fiberglass" instead of "fibroblast." But I commend the journalist for pursuing truth in the first place. I'll be happy to sort through a few typos as long as truth is the underlying agenda.
The guy did it to himself, but it sucks to see anyone fall so far. His family ought to be the priority, and we'll find out Friday if it is or not.
And lost in all of this Blizzard and Health Care talk is his asinine idea of anthropogenic global warming. It's a darn good thing we've got global warming or else they'd have 6 feet of snow in DC, huh?
This statement from Rep. Jared Polis, D-Col, is pure evil. We must call this for what it is. The notion that the Government is entitled to any of this money again (it's already been taxed once) is just unAmerican. Folks like Rep. Polis and his ilk may be Americans by birth, but they hate this country and must be stopped.
