[quote=Arraya]Obama made an argument in 2008 when he said he was AGAINST the individual mandate. He joked, “We could solve the homeless problem by requiring that everybody buy a house.” That was Candidate Obama.

The really absurd thing about this is that for years it was the REPUBLICANS who favored the individual mandate – everybody being forced to buy private health insurance – this was their big “reform” idea going back to the 90s. Now all of a sudden the Dems have adopted it, and the Repubs don’t support it anymore.

Bush got everything he wanted and Obama is getting nothing (although he has to pretend to want what he gets to maintain the illusion that he is powerful). The right yells that he is a tyrant, yet the right is getting their way. Politics is too funny.[/quote]

Obama is clueless. He trys to make a joke without realizing the truth to what he was saying.
Everyone getting a house is exactly what Fannie Mae allowed and is what caused this mess.

We will have cures for Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes within 20-30 years. In 30-50 we will be growing our own Organs for transplantation when, if they wear out.

We should take a long term view on this and create some type of crash program to bring these advances ASAP.

Get rid of disease and we get rid of the burden of these expensive end of life treatments that weigh the system down so much now.

A child born today will have no reason not to be able to live to 120-150.

Sci Fi? Nope.

[quote=urbanrealtor][quote=afx114][quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Afx: You do realize that Dan’s poison of choice is Rebel Yell bourbon, don’t you? Something to think about.[/quote]

Yikes, thanks for the warning. I am running a little low on aftershave, so at least it will still come in handy.[/quote]

Lies.
All lies.

I drink Powers at the Alibi and Old Grandad at home.
(used to go to Lancers but then they fired my favorite bartenders and my wife got preggo–still don’t know who is responsible for that).

Occasionally, a client will buy me some single-malt scotch or some bushy.

In college I was super broke and often a Friday night was a couple of friends coming over and like five of us walking from 3rd and Penn to 3rd and Washington buying a bottle of old grandad, a couple of carne asada burritos from La Posta, and renting a copy of Highlander or the Dark Crystal or Time Rider or something.

Ahh memory lane.

Hillcrest, cheap whiskey, and girls with tattoos (and unfinished papers on Latin American democracy and citizenship).[/quote]

I went to school in the mid 70’s. Back then we could get a case of Red White and Blue beer for $4.

For $10-15 bucks 4 of us could have a fun time but at the time few of us even had $5 bucks to chip in.

Also MacArthur’s Scotch was decent too at $10 bucks a Quart.
