Brian, you got it all wrong. No gold star for you. I do not hate Obama. I did not support the Patriot Act because it represents a serious incursion into civil liberties and I think Bush was a mediocre President. There is a big difference between active extermination and not providing care, but the outcome is the same. Each is equally inhumane and the insurance companies do need reform. This reform should be bi-partisan, openly discussed and the people who vote should read what they are voting on.
I prefer this solution: the Independence at Home Act, H.R. 2560. The bill will create a 3-year pilot program to bring primary care medical services to Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions in their homes. I believe the police need warrants to invade property unless they are in hot pursuit and I do not believe Obama has changed that part of the Constitution. I do not like paying taxes and I am against tax hikes. Any tax hikes now will further depress the economy as can be seen in the areas where the local city increased sales tax, most lost revenue because people go somewhere else to shop. Go back and read about the Hoover tax hikes during the depression. We have a road map of how to get out of this recession. All we do is have to look at history. Finally, I do not think we can win in Afghanistan. Time to wrap up Bush’s war. I wonder if all the returning people will need jobs?
