You might as well die on the job, with full wages. There are no incentives to retire to poverty.

The advertisers pay to have you watch their commercials, then you pay again to watch them, Nothing free about that.

Does she even listen to the public?

Most in the management ranks were promoted because they were unsuitable as worker's. There is no such thing as a promotion system, if you work hard, they will give you more work. They have now started picking on the salary worker's, they expect them to hand over their personal health information to some third party or they will raise your heath Insurance cost, nothing like extortion to make your day. With your education I would suggest you get with one of the real fine company's.

The crap on TV now really is not fit to be watched, who dreams up this garbage. We now have all these semi-reality shows, how many Repro groups, how many Pawn shows, you get the picture. I like something with substance, without endless commercials.

Where is the actual incentive to lower medical cost. Other countries say the reason their cost are so low, is they only do what is medically necessary. We have hospitals loaded with Millions of dollars worth of equipment that is is either rarely used or never used. All this jee whiz stuff, still has not helped us out. Its easy to say people and their life styles cause this, but it is harder for people to focus on the real problem, Hospitals building like there is no tomorrow and expanding. Than you have a simple thing like a $15 aspirin, did you know how many checks and verifications are place to dispense a simple aspirin, you have people checking the checker, it could go through 4 hands before they give it too you. People without insurance are only a small part of the equation.

They promised lower car insurance through mandatory requirements, hows that rebate working for you.

This way the Politicians can live in the style they are accustom too.

Next thing you know they will be banning the US flag, oh they already have in Homeowner Associations and Apartments. To declare Armstrong as a doper without any proof has now become the American Way (Comrades).

This has been nothing more then how to deliver half a product while we develop the other half. You have become so diluted as a consumer. You must work for Micro Soft.

What ever happened to hard labor, oh that is mean. Then you have prisoner suing the state because they don't stock chunky style peanut butter or serve ethnic food or Kosher.

Lock him up with the regular prisoner's, they will know what to do with him.

I have met so many people in the 50-60 year old that can not find a job. I keep seeing these stock speculators saying "People are back to work", but the reality is no they are not. America was once a strong nation of people building stuff that was quality, we need to bring the work home.
