Unfortunately, if the last decade is any indicator, they will just try to top the dems. spending like it's a contest to see who can ruin the country the fastest.
In AZ max is $265 a week. Not bad since you can rent a decent apartment for 400. My cousin was on unemployment for 2 years straight with all the extensions and the only reason he isn't anymore is because he started a job 3 days ago.
If I disagree with being required to purchase Auto insurance I can take the bus. If I disagree with being required to purchase health insurance what do I do. Move?
Wouldn't you rather be crippled financially (for the short while before you declare bankruptcy) than crippled physically because you were stuck on a waiting list for 6 months while some disease rampaged through your body.
How many teams of US diplomats do you want to see blown up before you come to the realization that these people don't want to talk. it is not like the taliban leaders have been begging for peace negotiations but we won't stop "storming" their lands. They have released countless videos screaming death to america and will not stop even if we ask them to really, really nicely.
Someone who disagrees with your opinion that you should continue breathing is shooting at you. What is the alternative solution to killing them? When someone is trying to kill you there are only two solutions, either you end up in a pine box or they do.
Abandoned satellites and fuel tanks are only two examples of space junk. A lot of it is very small, such as the 480 million copper needles we dispersed up there to bounce radio waves off of in case the commies cut our undersea cables. The thing that many people don't understand is how much damage a small object like this can cause to a space craft. Here is a pic of what a flake of paint can do to the Space Shuttle, Linky. The velocities involved are hundreds or thousands of times greater than you experience driving your car and think of the damage a rock flying out the back of a truck can cause on the freeway. Especially if a crack in your windshield means you die.
I concede the point that even if this wasn't the case the majority, including myself, still would buy cheap chinese products but it is a moot point because there really is not another option anymore.
Have you ever heard of Insurance or, gasp!, Taxes ?
It must be awful to not understand what insurance is. All insurance (Auto, Life, Fire, Health, etc) works by the majority subsidizing the minority. The majority pays much more in premiums than they receive in benefits due to the fear of the small chance they will require care that is very expensive. The chances of you using as much coverage as you pay in premiums has to be small or insurance would not work. It is not a charity.
It's to get a pool of money so that you can provide services to all without having every single person to pay in full. If you have to pay in full for service then insurance is useless.
First: That pool of money has to equal the total premiums or taxes paid, right? The pool doesn't receive charitable donations and money doesn't just magically appear.
Second: The total benefits paid out can't be larger than the pool or else insurance would operate at a loss, which other than the government apparently, is unsustainable.
Third: The math doesn't lie. Some people will pay much more in premiums than they receive in benefits and some people will pay much less in premiums than they receive in benefits. Insurance operates on the fear that you will be unlucky and be one of the people who requires expensive treatment. The majority would be better off putting their money in a savings account. I am 25 years old and have paid for my own insurance for 7 years. It cost me (including what my employer contributes) about 5 grand a year. With no interest I would have $35,000 right now minus 7 routine check ups @ a couple hundred dollars each cash. If I invested that $5000 a year in a savings account that earns 2% interest starting now, when I am 50 I will have $172,009. I am basically gambling that I will require over $172,000 worth of medical care by the time I am 50. Even though the chances of that being the case are very small.
When you reach 83-84mph, watch out, 'cos one more button press will cause your car to go into WOT. But this is a prius we are talking about. So at 84mph to go WOT the pedal has to make its way back through the floorboard into the cabin right?
If you don't already know this I am sorry. T-mobile sucks now. They jacked up their prices and nothing you have is available anymore. My faves is gone. Unlimited text for ten bucks is now 20. 700 minutes isn't offered on family plans. You are grandfathered in until you decide you need more minutes or want to upgrade a line with a phone that requires a NEW talk + text + web activation (any smartphone). I am currently paying ~$110 a month for 4 lines, 1000 minutes, unlimited text, and one BB plan because I am grandfathered in. The same plan with T-Mobile now that they have their "half the cost of Verizon and ATT" plans is ~$150 with a 2 year contract or $130 a month with no contract but you pay retail for the phones, so for the BB, Highlight, Gravity, and generic Nokia I have now I would have to put up over $1000 to buy the phones and then pay $20 more a month. Sprint has the best deal for a family plan that I have seen recently.
IDK about BMW but I know that Mercedes has used electrically actuated rollbars on it's roadsters. Nonetheless, when people wrap their cars around telephone poles sometimes bad things happen...regardless of the technology involved.
But in most cases the pushed email arrives much later on a blackberry compared to a WM phone with active sync. With active sync the phone polls the server directly. With BES the server pushes the e-mail to the phone through numerous middle men.

No out of pocket max?

Not on satellite.
It matters because standard def is 4:3 and high def is 16:9. The simpsons looks a lot better now that I don't need to stretch it to fit my screen.

I ALWAYS keep evidence of my crimes just in case one day the crime is so infamous that the evidence is worth something. Don't you?
.....and baby eating Dingos.

Do you have magic eyelids??
What are you a vampire, just look up during the day.
Including what my employer contributes. $40 is taken out of my paycheck every 2 weeks. My employer pays the rest.
High priced organics at whole foods aren't locally produced. According to Whole Foods themselves, sourcing organics has "gone global."*
*"gone global" == "gone Chinese" Source: Whole Foods Blog

Anyone yelling their personally identifying info into a microphone deserves what they get.

It was easy for them to do that since they raised their prices $20 a month across the board first.

"Spend this on flu research" is OK. "Give this to Company X to build a research center in District Y to maybe do some flu research" is not.
I drive past a sign that says Tucson everyday on the 17 and I still mis-spell it every time.
