It will now cost $6.7 trillion more than we were told. Wait to see what the bill is when it actually kicks in. Most people in the US wanted a solution to the health care problem. This was a backroom deal. > Let's see...what are the other biggies.....the bailout.

I don't think we've ever been in such a long recession and perpetually high unemployment is not caused by the banking crisis since the banks were paid for their failure. The only explanation I can think of is the President and his policies. > I'm not liberal....far from it....and Obama is certainly more left than I > am...but Bush was more right than I am, and i supported him for as long as > I could too. Obama's been an OK president. Bush was too in his first term, > 'cept for his stem cell demagoguery. I'm liberal on many social issues and even a few conservative ones. Like NCLB, I figured it was worth a try and it helped improve minority grades across the country but overall it seems to be a failure. As for stem cells, it's politics. You give a little and take a little. We got stem cell research paid for but there was a cap. If a Dem spent money but added a cap it wouldn't be news. . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:348792 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
