    Is the Supreme Court decision ruling the PPACA valid just a Pyrrhic victory?

    for the progressive liberal movement? The majority opinion rejects the federal government's power to regulate inactivity under the Commerce Clause. It then goes on to reject a broad reading of the Necessary and Proper Clause. The opinion also imposes new limits on the federal government's...

    Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who decried the plan and ranted: "Medicare

    Debbie Wasserman Schultz = clueless The same "scare tactic rhetoric" that was used during the 1990s budget debates that finally passed and none of the "old people will die" and "children will starve" happened. Of course these are the same democrats who didn't even try to do budgets for FY2010...

    Why are konservatives whining about the health effects of TSA scanners?

    Those concerns have come from all across the political spectrum. The greater concern is the violation of everyone's constitutional right against illegal search and seizures.

    Why are you idiots so worried about gas prices, you can just buy a Volt from GM?

    Considering I drive over 200 miles a day I'm not sure I have the eight hours required to recharge every 40 miles.

    Why are republicans against Environmental protection/regulation?

    Not against regulation, just over regulation or regulations that have an intent on modifying certain economic aspects. As an example, there have been regulations and subsidies for ethanol production with the intent to reduce oil use and reduce harmful emissions. Many environmental organizations...

    Will This Put To Rest The Fears Of Small Business Regarding Health Care Reform?

    You missed the minimum payroll costs clause that supersedes the head count. But think for a second, I have a good friend whose small business owns three restaurants and employs more than 50 people. The added costs could very well put him out of business. He has said he will attempt to stay in...

    OH MY, is this a problem, "WellPoint 39% insurance hike becomes target for Obama"?

    If a "public option" national health care system is put in place you will see this as common place until all private insurers go bankrupt. Then the only option will be the government option and everyone will be screwed. But then again, that is the goal of the current plan, he has said so...

    What in the world is meant by this headline:?

    They have finally understood that deficits and the economy are important to the people ( and the people have realized that the "stimulus" is failing) so they are disingenuously attempting to link revamping health care to fixing the economy and reducing deficits too.

    Why are so many so naive and clueless when it comes to economics?

    People constantly chose to mistakenly blame the previous administration for the current economic conditions. But why can they not realize that the current economic conditions have been building for three decades and that by simply "blaming Bush" is to ignore the economic realities? I am by far...

    if i clearly illustrate the double standard the righties have, will they take their

    Because if anyone pays any attention to this administrations policies they will see that they will not reduce unemployment but will be a hindrance to it.

    Doesn't Hilary Clinton have incredible self-control. It must be awfully tempting

    She'll be the V.P. on the 2012 ticket (Biden will "retire") to set her up for 2016. That probably was the back room deal she made to sell out.
