I don't doubt that it could have done this, but all you've really talked about is how consumers have gotten the shaft in the form of debit card fees from yet another piece of crappy legislation.

That's not the talent that makes them money. If thinking is not their talent, this kind of drivel comes naturally to them.

If people live longer by not smoking, they tend to die of diseases that cost much more to treat because those diseases are sometimes treatable. You can't just look at the treatment of smoking related illnesses as a budgetary line item that will disappear with less treatment. It just moves into a different accounting table (other cancers, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, etc). Once you get lung cancer from smoking, no amount of treatment is going to alter the fact that you torched your lungs. Death comes sooner as well, so by default, treatment costs go down as a result of smoking.

Can fire for any non-discriminatory reason. Turns out that if the boss feels you looked at him cock-eyed one day... you're fired...

I forgot that if the regulations and law state that if the employees want to take over the business without any investment capital put forth, it is against the law to stop them from doing so....

Capital investment businesses enjoy the same treatment. Capital gains for investments held less than a year are taxed at a 35% rate... when held more than a year, the investor assumes more risk, the rate is 15%. Do you propose taxing all capital gains at 35% so that we stop subsidizing investment?

We clearly understand how Islamic regimes treat women and non-muslims as second class citizens (property [slaves] in the case of women). We also see how Islamic groups such as CAIR seek to secure religious protections to implement their human rights violations in the US and other countries (Shariah Law in case you are having difficulty following). Your assumption that we don't have problems with the countries you listed, and your intent to word your sentences as if you are acknowledging that your assumptions are correct, display your complete ignorance pertaining to the thoughts and beliefs of conservatives. Yes, as for NASA, the bureaucrat who establishes a project's budget, which proceeds to actually cost vastly more than original projections, while running months/years behind deadlines, has a tendency to negatively affect (ruin) a program. You know... my 5 year old daughter understands the logic. I suppose the liberal label explains why you don't.
