In the most contentious exchange of President Barack Obama’s marathon of five Sunday shows, he said it is “not true” that a requirement for individuals to get health insurance under a key reform plan now being debated amounts to a tax increase.

But he could look it up — in the bill.

Page 29, sentence one of the bill introduced by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont) says: “The consequence for not maintaining insurance would be an excise tax.”

The video explains itself. Lessons from our greatest generation.

What do you folks think about the proposed plan to force veterans to pay for their own health and disability insurance? IMO, an utter disgrace. I'm guessing none of them thought they were voting for that.

as a type 1 diabetic, i'm estatic to know valuable research can move forward!!!

how do you feel about this? a lot of Bush's other policies aside.. his view of Stem Cell research was always what I would use in an argument about why I wanted him out of office.

Remember Tricky Dicks' enemies list? Well, the newbie in Washington is populating one of his own! Growing by the minute, They/he has added Jim Cramers' name to it, and I for one, am getting worried about this process. http://www.mainstreet.com/article/moneyinvesting/news/cramer-my-response...

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

In 1969 there was a Minnesota court case involving a man named Jerome Daily. He challenged the foreclosure of his home by the bank which provided the loan.

So let me get this right, we use our money( the tax payers money ) to bail out the banks so that they can loan our money ( the tax payers money ) back to us with 18% to 24% or more persent intrest, Why didn't they just give our money ( the tax payers money ) strait back to us ( the tax payer aka the goverment ) to buy presents, go out to eat and so on to stimulate the economy?

GW was showing Obama around the White House today....

well if you havent figured out the scam yet here it is . they take 700 bill give it to bankers corporations and such they give it to the lobbyiests then the lobbiests give it back to the congress house senet so on they get rich it easy its called greed and its what you would do. and as for free market there are a million ways to do somthing right free market is just one crude way there might be a better one ya think.

Lobbyists Swarm the Treasury for a Helping of the Bailout Pie.After all, as prove in the bankster bailout deal, these folks (estimated at 40,000 in number) really have more power, pull, and outright influence to peddle than all the taxpayers in America.Unfortunately, there's also suggestions/warnings that any 'fundamental rethinking of capitalism' is not on the agenda

MIDLOTHIAN, Va. (AP) - When 10-year-old Austin Smith heard Barack Obama had been elected president, he had one question: Does this mean I won't get a new gun for Christmas?

That brought his mother, the camouflage-clad Rachel Smith, to Bob Moates Sports Shop on Thursday, where she was picking out that special 20-gauge shotgun — one of at least five weapons she plans to buy before Obama takes office in January.
