However Medicare works quite well, so why not extend that to other Americans who want to sign up, and then still have insurance available for those who want to have more of a choice. I'm a licensed Life and Health agent so I get insurance. What we have now is not working, and I think it is a burden for many businesses to provide health care insurance for their employee's. I never agree with that, because I use to be a small business owner, so I understand that side. However, when everything is said and done, I don't think anybody should be put at risk of loosing everything over something they cannot control, i.e. a serious illness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-64982431749958676042013-10-11T22:56:37.864-07:002013-10-11T22:56:37.864-07:00Broadcasting is a business and everything that dri...Broadcasting is a business and everything that drives it is based on revenue. That's true of most businesses in this country, and that's the problem. The end justifies the means, so that 's why you have more shouting, more name--calling, more bloviating than ever before. It's done by 'genius' programmers who realize that most Americans have been conditioned to have an 'attention deficit' syndrome, and therefore would prefer listening to 'entertaining' radio than informative radio. Just listen to all of the moronic sound effects on radio, and the personalities who try to be cute and funny, but aren't. Radio to the men and women programmers and big companies that own the stations is just another cheap form of show business. Therefore, Americans are NOT going to get enough credible and objective info from radio talk shows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-70557473775565162452013-10-11T20:14:06.954-07:002013-10-11T20:14:06.954-07:00Christine said: That means that it is already the ...Christine said: That means that it is already the law and both the prez and members take oaths to uphold the constitution and the laws of the US.The way to change the law is to propose another law(s) and see if it survives the democratic process, not shut down the government for personal gain, while the people turn blue...<br /><br />You left out Obama's way: just issue waivers by fiat for the parts of a law that he doesn't like, like waivers to employers, waivers to Congress, etc. <br /><br />Since you know the process, under what authority is Obama allowed to waive any part of a law that passes both chambers of Congress, when Obama is supposed to "faithfully execute" the laws?<br /><br />Continuing with your Constitutional debate, have you entertained the thought that the shut-down is about restoring regular legislative order to Congress? You seem to have settled into a coziness with these so-called continuing funding resolutions. What about the Constitutional requirement of Congress to pass annual appropriation bills (aka "budgets)? Harry Reid hasn't passed one in five years, so the House and Senate can't go to reconciliation committees to work out the differences. Instead, Reid seems perfectly happy with these manufactured crises that he gets to whack Boehner with time after time.<br /><br />So lets really get back to the Democratic process, one where the Congress passes Constitutional legislation constitutionally, and where the President faithfully executes the whole law, not just the parts he likes, or ignores the parts that become inconvenient to him at that moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-56984816530412547392013-10-11T19:59:11.308-07:002013-10-11T19:59:11.308-07:00Speaking of lead... can somebody explain to me why...Speaking of lead... can somebody explain to me why Gov.

It annoys me because the tea baggers seem to be too lazy to understand simple governmental process. The Affordable Care Act was passed by both houses of Congress, signed by the Prez, and ceclared constitutional in a case before the SCUS, a majority opinion by John Roberts, an uber-conservative . That means that it is already the law and both the prez and members take oaths to uphold the constitution and the laws of the US.The way to change the law is to propose another law(s) and see if it survives the democratic process, not shut down the government for personal gain, while the people turn blue.<br />, I'm no fan of politicians of any stripe calling people they don't know,"friend" or "pal"(not referring to you). I'm also annoyed at the trenchant overuse of both "amazing" and "awesome", simply because when a superlative is used too lazily, it loses its punch. I positively blanch when anyone tells me that there "going to be honest here", because that means they are always liars.

They are not interchangeable. I grew up in Scandinavia in a socialist country, (Denmark) during the fifties and sixties, USSR was a big threat and there is no comparison between the two. In a socialist country, you can still own a business, buy a house, even a summerhouse (which many Danes own) we have freedom of the press. Because we have national health care, you can change jobs without loosing your health care, or loose your job without loosing your health care. We also have private insurance so people have a choice. If I take a survey of American middle class families and Danish middle class families, I would say the danes have a higher quality of life. They might live in smaller houses and drive smaller cars (however distances are less and public transportation is excellent) they travel more than most Americans, and they don't live in fear all the time of loosing what they have accumulated because of a serious illness.

I don't know of any. Also, this nonsense about the 'liberal' main street media?' I've worked in the media for nearly four decades and guess what? Most radio and TV stations today are more concerned with the bottom line than anything else. <br /><br /> The reason Conservative radio talk shows are so popular is that they get audiences by polarizing and sensationalizing issues for those who are too dense or lazy to learn for themselves what the key issues in our society are all about. They would rather have some ranting, bloviating egotist like Limbaugh or a smarmy, self-righteous host like Hannity lead them like sheep. The basic problem with many 'conservatives' (and I don't have much respect for today's conservatives...yesterday's, like Reagan or even Goldwater, yes, I respected them, but idiots like Daniel Imhoffe of Oklahoma or Ted Cruz of Texas? No way!) is that they like to simplify so many of the complex issues. <br /><br /> They love to label the President a 'Socialist,' which is really juvenile. And they love wrapping themselves up in the flag, when at the same time they rip apart the very government that gives them the freedom to make money and express their opinions. They talk about what a great document the Constitution is, but the 'Tea Party' is constantly trying to make end runs around it by subverting the laws of the land. <br /><br /> If there are any hypocrites, cry babies and 'traitors,' it's the extreme right wing of the GOP; the 40 some odd folks in Congress (the 'Tea Party') who are holding this country hostage because they don't believe in majority rule, which has been a foundation of this country since 1789. The GOP should be ashamed of itself for letting these radicals run the table. But they'll end up paying for it eventually, as the majority of voting Americans DO NOT SUPPORT what the 'Tea Party' stands for. That was made clear in recent elections and it will be made clear again in 2014 and 2016.
