The State has spent all available money and then some, and now that we're broke, they're trying to steal from Medicare in order to purchase votes from yet another group. The ship of state is now sinking. It is time to cut all levels of government in half, undoing the excesses of the Clinton and Bush2 eras. Time to use private accounts for retirement instead the bankrupt, unsustainable schemes of social security and Medicare. And a constitutional amendment to prevent deficit spending by any/all levels of government. And school vouchers, to keep our children safe from the awful politics and morals of teacher unions.

Each time the Govt. gives you something they take away more of your money and take over more of your live by taking away your choices, by giving you more rules and instructions on what you must do in order to qualify for these "goodies". What should have been done to pump up the economy, for instance was to just lower taxes and get some of govt off the backs of the people, not take from some and buy a car for others. It's insane! More of Obama idea that the govt knows how you should spend your money--you con't be trusted to make choices.

We can all agree that some reform is needed in healthcare, but not at the expense of our freedoms and on the backs of our children and grand children and their children. Suggestion for you President Obama: If you want to be agood president, get rid of your advisors, special interest groups and left wing cronies and start being a president of, by, and for the people.

The majority of Democrats and all of the liberals/socialist fell to understand that historically, Americans, taken as a whole have been an independent and freedom loving people. Anything that smells as an enfringment of those liberties will be soundly rejected when understood. And this one really stinks. I think that it was Abraham Lincoln who once wrote, "You can fool most of the people some of the time, you can fool some of the people most of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

The American people are not stupid and they will not roll over and play dead for any bozo in the political arena. You can not shove anything at them in a feable attempt to socialize the country and grow the governement. The proud Americans of this country control it but do not often make it known and remind those in political power. From the Congress to the Senate to the White House, get the message or find a new job. By they way, if you can not find a new job, join the rank of the millions of unemployed unable to find work because the stimulus was a farce! When is the D. C. group going to get the message.

It's about America and American are blessed to wake-up.However they need to stay vigilent and even wider awake. If Mr.Obama learns from this and with bold sweep surpass his logic and operate a readjustment to the Center-Right, he could solve thousand of contradictions and position the Country and himself in the Right and Straight Path. If the dictature of the Proletariat suggested by SILENT Voices still the project, there have to be more mobilisation. Nice and wise catch Ed FULNER!

Anybody seen what Safeway has done to reduce their health care costs? They had all of their employees take a baseline health exam. During the course of the year the employees are asked to improve certain things, like weight, blood pressure etc. If they do, the employee gets a check of up to $1,500.00. Safeway's, costs reduced by 40% and they are creating healther employees. Bingo! See, the private sector does work Mr. Obama. We all still have some work to do. America, stay calm, stay informed and organize. I like it, OWE-Bama.
