1- The Empty Suit hates the insurance companies- because that's what his professors [liberal fools all] told him to do.

2- "cap and Trade"? What took folks so long to recognize that it is, indeed, a pernicious tax and another way to destroy capitalism as seems the Empty Suit's bent.

3- Healthcare? The insurance companies have no one to blame but themselves. Surely, one of those companies can supply insurance at a reasonable cost- as on old jeweler once told me- "Yussel, you sell a lot of things for a small profit, but it adds up. If you try to sell them at a high profit, you will not make the same amount of money". This IS a solid economic concept. So, low-cost azttracts a lot of people, not all of whom will run to the doctor every time they have a hangnail.

4- As for national security- the Empty Suit has done more to damage that than anyone in history with the exception of Benedict Arnold.

5- As for unions, I was once forced to become a Teamsters member, and one day was told by the shop steward that: "you're working too fast and getting too much done. You're making the others look bad. If you do not slow down, your car might have four flat tires." Charming- this is exactly what unions are: More money for less work.

We had some Amish folks build our pole barn- they got the building up inside of two weeks. No coffee breaks, 30 minute lunches, no goofing off, just working. This building is 60 x 120 ft, they had the roof on in one day—–no one said anything about having to lend a hand, no stupid union moron telling them that that was not their job.

Yes, at one time, unions were important in their purpose, but just like government agencies created in response to specific issues, they now just try to justify their existences.

By the same token, if business owners return to their ideas that folks who work for them are mere serfs, then unions once again will be necessary.

The actual name for this is Obamacide.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) money to going to the universities and the NIH is just 10 billion dollars of future science jobs destroying waste for Amercians.

There is not a single H1B restriction on this ARRA money and most of it will go to employing foreign H1bs, not taxpaying Americans.

Not one single mainstream article has discussed how the NIH ARRA stimulus money has discussed how this taxpayer derived money is going to create jobs for US citizens, even as the unemployment crosses over 10 %. … absolutely shameful behavior.?

Consider this, there are a minimum of 20,000 H1Bs at just the top 100 H1B using universities. At 50,000 dollars a year this means 1 billion dollars is absorbed immediately into the foreign H1B workers, the real figure closer to 3-4 billion in salaries.??

There is no cap on the numbers of H1Bs (and others) that the NIH-universities can import. Why? Because in 2000, econ 101 guru Phil Gramm co-sponsored a bill, S 2045, with Arlen Specter that successfully inserted a no cap exemption from for the universities and the out of control US government to "ensure that the U.S. economic expansion will not be impeded by a lack of skilled [ foreign] workers."

Therefore the H1B cap does not include universities or the out of control US government and the NIH. These H1b numbers do not count in the cap, so there is no control on the H1B numbers in these cases.

The inclusion of the science money in this manner will go directly to the H1Bs and will further destroy US jobs by exporting technology as some workers return to foreign countries, including communist China, and become key builders of competitive companies to small US biotechnology companies.

The NIH ARRA is a horrible waste of money and detrimental to future science jobs and reveals the disconnection between government/science leadership and the taxpayers/workers. ??Not one scientific leader in the US has stood up and said this, the NIH leadership is more interested in filling their pockets with taxpayer money, while destroying the future of Science jobs in American, than being honest even as unemployment hits nearly 10 %.
