purpose in life? Why does the profit motive have to be employed in every thing we do in America?

The profit motive and health care don't mix. Any attempt to use market forces on this part of the human condition will never be successful. Like with education, if you reduce your efforts to just $$$ you belittle the importance of the task. I want a doctor or a teacher to do what they do...

They think that Obama created the increases in our federal debt because he's a socialist who wants to turn our country into a western European style nanny state. Don't they know that thru gross mismanagement of the economy by Obama's predecessors a 3 trillion dollar hole in the economy had to...

The square peg is the free market and the round hole is health care. The health of humans does not follow the same rules or conditions of the free market. Reasons--- 1) we don't have choice not be sick or accident free. 2) health care professionals make the economic choices, not the end...

...government? We should have medicare for every citizen, not just those over 65. Since we are regulating private insurance companies to do the work, isn't the mandate the only way to make sure everyone is covered.

How many people are aware that the mandate was a cave-in by the dems to the insurance lobby. The only way for insurance companies could insure those with pre-existing conditions was to have the mandate. Like everything else in life----it's all about math. I meant "insure those with...

but not for your grandmother? Billions for Citibank, et al, but squat for grandma

The likes of Jack Abramoff will be using a wack job tea partier to do their dirty work. The government will be sold to the highest bidder if Republicans are back in power. Don't say I didn't warn you all.

...don't understand Keynesian Economics? The American people are ridiculously stupid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0efLWdJWk4 They are now victims of the right wing scare tactic of excessive spending by Obama. People have no idea how Keynesian economics works.

major reason why we're here? What a load of propaganda crap that the right has plopped on the American psyche. There are people out there who actually think that the CRA brought down our economy. What fools, The CRA was created at a time when subprimes could be easily absorbed into the...

Supernatural thinking was created to keep people from cheating the system when nobody was looking. Religion is primitive thinking and it's only purpose is social control by those in power.

If you lived in Islamabad, you'd be a Muslim. If you lived in South Carolina, you'd be a Christian. When will religion finally be transformed into mythology? Jonathan--I went to Catholic schools thru high school and I'm an atheist as well as an anti-theist.

I think Obama is like Wilson, He's just too ethereal for the masses. The educated elite understand him, but the ignorant populace is too stupid or impatient to understand him.

Bush double the debt and fired his treasury secretary because he thought Bush's tax cuts would balloon the deficit. The current increases in debt are due to Bush's bailouts of the banks and deficit spending to keep keep the economy from collapsing due to Bush's neglect. If I were at a rally...

conservative philosophy? The lie machine from Fox news and right wing talk show hosts have really deluded a lot of people. If you tell a lie loud and often enough, then it starts to look like the truth. This mess was the direct result of disastrous decisions made from conservative philosophy...

The fed has some real problems in itself, but Greenspan was a total and absolute failure. He did nothing to stop the internet bubble except to mumble "irrational exuberance" and then overreacted after our national tragedy by giving away free money for way, way too long creating a massive asset...

There must be some other motivation for their blind support of the profit motive for everything.

Would we have to build ourselves up from disgrace like we are now because of Bush?

Those who oppose Obama have misplaced anger. They really should be angry at themselves for the destruction they created. People are finally wising up to the folly and destructive tendencies of the Republican/conservative philosophy. The conservative ideology started to decline after William...

Going to some software training up in the Woodlands. What are some good Texas BBQ joints.
