    I will never understand how people were convinced to stand in line in the hot sun/rain/cold to squint at a burned out screen to get movies for a dollar a day that in many cases were sold out. Especially considering that you could rent the same movie for a week for about 3 dollars.

    The impact of the ACA is that hundreds of millions of people will have to pay more to get less. All in some twisted attempts to insure he mythical 30 million who don't have insurance.

    ...that if you do something like this, numerous ISO standards and other auditing bodies follow a formal ERP methodology. There are also issues of compliance with GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principals) and most assuredly, the IRS.

    Especially coming from the TSA (yeah, yeah, it's the Union, not the TSA...pfffft) who used to get the panties in a twist over fingernail clippers and still does over a tube of toothpaste.

    The Feds should look at this incident as a warning strip on the road. When you stray from the straight and narrow, it makes a huge racket to wake you up. The excesses of the Federal government are increasing every day and are starting to push some of the less stable over the edge. How long until it's not just some crazy guy off his meds and a normal person with a legitimate grievance...like a loved one being denied care under Obamacare?

    The question is, will the Feds listen to the warning strip?

    >The Supreme Court already ruled the bill constitutional.

    They've ruled the provision for the individual mandate constitutional. there are many aspects of it that could be its downfall.

    Another aspect is the IRS decision to provide subsidies to Federal exchanges. If that is ruled invalid then the whole scheme, while not being Unconstitutional, will fall down around everyone's knees.

    This bill didn't need a filibuster proof majority because it was passed as a reconciliation bill, which only needs a majority.

    Which, incidentally, may be it's downfall because Constitutionally speaking, all revenue Bills, which this is according to the Supreme Court, must originate i the House. We'll see how that goes because these days, the law pretty much is just a suggestion.

    Population has nothing to do with manufacturing plants unless the population is low enough that there might not be enough skilled labor...not an issue with Canada.

    So in this case, Polar Bears and Population have the same impact. And the ten times is just made up, like his assertions.

    The population of Canada has squat to do with whether it is a better place to site a manufacturing plant.

    Tax policy, availability of transportation (Ports, trains, etc.), raw materials, labor rules, etc. are what matters. As far as the labor pool goes, Canada has more than enough skilled labor to host host all 9 North American manufacturing plants.

    So the population of Canada is about as relevant as the number of Polar Bears.
