  • Health care costrs rising

    Pretty obvious why both can be true. People who are in private insurance and go to the low cost public plan, prior to enactment of Obama's health care plan, were costing the government $0. On top of that, if the people were in a less generous plan with regards to copays, or had no insurance, then suddenly they are spending other people's money, ...

  • Thanks for Researching This, Rather Than Healthy Family Life

    The complete and inane turpitude of every aspect of American life and attitudes and values continues to astonish me, over time. I would guess that no American living today under the age of 20 or 30 knows or can conceive of the Great American Family as I experienced it, along with so many other Americans, in the 1950s and 1960s here in America. I ...

  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Hello Goodbye, Melvyl and Bob Brass

    You two really ''went to town'' or ''to the mat'' here in this string, didn't you? I came across Bob Brass posting much later, and trailed him back here. Bob is of high intelligence, got a good education, his Mom taught kids in New York City most if not all of her career, and Bob worked as an analyst of sorts for Uncle Sam. Melvyl is also an ...

  • Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -

    So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

  • What so few get right about South Africa's xenphobic riots.

    As many Cape Town citizens pretend a 'return to normal', the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), PASSOP, the eMzantsi Ubuntu Coalition and several other organizations continue to oppose the nakedly racist motives of the city in forcing traumatized refugees back to townships they fled in fear of their lives. By denying the refugees inner-city ...

  • The Federal Republic vs. The People's Republic

    A funky celestial cataclysm strikes the vulgar, abundant provincial interior of a totalitarian state. Immolation, Abrogation, Decimation make their rounds against fabrications of the prostrate population. Oh, what cruelties of fate. The overindulged American aristocracy took the lead - They don't have a creed. - they subjugate those who need ...

  • Discursive Divisive Discourse

    First of all, my apologies that this is a bit lengthly but I've tired of letting others 'create' and perpetuate this ever damaging discourse. And by the way, I am a retired Captain and can fully appreciate the abuse of power, especially during that shameful period of our country's history. The article: Although it definitely fills time and ...

  • Subventions for the Hajj?

    This was an interesting article but the last part of the conclusion was ridiculus, especially from an economic point of view. What kind of returns does an ''investment'' by the US taxpayer have that makes more Pakistani go to Mekka in comparision with the support for secular womens groups or for better rural infrastructure? What about the moral ...
