Health Care

This is such an easy problem to solve:

1) Conress puts all Americans on the same health care program that Congress is on. If we are going to get nailed with higher taxes etc lets at least get a superb plan,

or

2) Let Congress lead the way. All of Conress will lead the way and put themselves, their families and their staffs etc on the final plan from the crap they are currently discussing. Then Congress et al will stay on this plan for appoximately 5 years to see how it workd. Then the data can be gathered ttoo determine how it went,

Is it good for all Americans

All I can say is that if the health care bills being pushed by the Democratic Party and the President are so good the why aren't they signed up to be on our health program rather than their health program.

Remembering Jimmy Carter: Wasn't he Billy's Brother?

I've always tried to have nice feelings towards EX-PRESIDENT (as in former) Jimmy Carter. I thought to myself he was a nice guy, he meant well, I didn't vote for him but different ideas need to be tried. BULL! the crap he is spouting today is ridiculous. Is he and the whole ddemocratic party playing the race card? Why does anything against Barack Obama or his platform have to be racist? People don't like what he is trying to do - why doesn't the "Democratic Elite Party" (secretly replaced the Democratic Party) understand this?

America wants compassion. America wants health care reform. America wants reform of our legal profession. But America does not want an elitist ruling class or socialism!!

As a student of history the current events within the United States remind me of the fall of the Roman Empire. Corruption from within, placating the poor with games and treats, take over and rule by one man and his elite click and then a slow rotting of the fiber of a nation until outside forces can move in and destroy it.

Is the price of the destruction of the American Democratic experiment worth the price of your holding political power Mr and Ms Democratic Elite?

I think not.

Represent or Rule?

How is it that the Democratic Congress of the United States of America has decided it is their job to rule us rather than to represent us?

Who Controls the Price Of Oil?

Wow - I heard today that the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is the reason the price of oil and subsequently gasoline, has gone up in the last few days. Why? Neither Israel or the Gaza strip have any oil under them and I don't know of any major petroleum ship ports located here. What is being threatened? We are getting stuck again by the oil traders.

I live in South Louisiana and I do want to see a decent price for a barrel of oil, to keep the people working all along the Gulf Coast and the other oil producing states. I have family that work directly or indirectly as well as friends who make their living off of oil. But please oil traders don't make up scams to get our money!

The thought being broadcast is that the conflict "could" spread through the Arab world and production of oil will be affected. Right! OPEC needs to sell oil because they need the money pouring in to support the life style of the rich and greedy. If the OPEC (Middle Eastern specifically) states don't sell oil and can no longer protect themselves from their own people - then you'll see a spreading conflict and a heightened risk to the OPEC oil industry.

The conflict in Gaza is being used to inflame the the media so they can report more news as they see it (rather than the truth) and make the traders (traitors?) more money.

The politicians (all parties) get to rape America's wallets all the time;The banks and investment houses got to rape America's wallets for the last few years; I guess the Wall Street oil traders want their shot at the brass ring this season - again!
