No, the idea came from an economics professor at Stanford. Someone at Heritage picked it up but the idea that it was ever is supported by the Republican party is an obvious falsehood. Besides, the original idea was for people to have catastrophic insurance, not the huge monstrosity that is being forced upon us.
It's going to take a while for that. The existing infrastructure put in place by previous monopolies by the telephone companies and the cable companies make it hard for any new competition to start up. There are significant barriers to entry. Maybe wireless will do something or Google will go crazy with fiber but i would not hold my breath.
yes, that is correct, but it's not exactly what they are know for:) I could have said communists, but then someone would chime in and say that the communists aren't really communist. In the end, everyone knows who we are pointing at and where they would sit in the national assembly.
What were the states thinking when they chose to not follow the parts of Obamacare that the supreme court struck down. Or maybe this is what happens when you write laws in secret, aided by extreme special interest groups and don't include the opposition in any part of the process.
Yeah, let's blame the republicans for not obeying the unconstitutional requirements of the ACA (the ones that the supreme court really did strike down.)
Sadly, we are all out of really smart NAZI's to run the program. Instead we are substituting a bunch of half witted socialists (don't underestimate the socialists, they have done at least as much damage as the NAZI's, they are just underrated for their abilities.) I am told, that collectively, their IQ's will come close to equaling Von Braun's.
Exactly. The Republicans have done a lot of screwed up things over the years, but this isn't one of them. The Republicans were not even allowed in the room when it was written and didn't have a clue on what was in it when it was passed since they were not allowed to read it. All the blame for this goes to the Democrats and especially the president.
If you search you will find that Obama and his people delayed the rules for Obamacare so they would not come out before the 2012 elections. That delayed the writing of the code for the website and they continued to issue changes right before the site was about to be released. There is no doubt that the site has architectural & coding issues, but it was doomed to fail from the beginning and the blame belongs with Obama & the secretary of HHS.
If you look at the projected numbers of people that have signed up vs the numbers that have received notices that their health care plans have been cancelled you might find that more people are losing insurance than are getting obamacare.
This is exactly right. When faced with a deficit, the responsible thing to do is to downsize. You may not be able to downsize your rent in the short term due to a lease, but this problem has been going on for many years. They need to cut costs across the board and 10% isn't close to what is needed.
If you have to fire half the company, isn't that better than all of them losing their jobs? Making a profit while keeping some of those jobs going is a good thing.
Damage due to a tornado is still a pretty low risk and is covered in a basic insurance policy, unlike damage from an earthquake, flood, or hurricane. Nearly everyone who loses their house to a tornado is covered and can rebuild with the insurance money. For those of us that grew up in tornado country it's not that big a deal. Shelters and insurance are pretty cheap and the probability that you will be hit is low.
Why is everyone modding this down? This analysis is on the mark. RIM was a good company and had a good product but they got lazy and were out innovated by Apple & Google. The end is near, it's only a question of whether someone buys the company or someone buys the assets after the collapse. I'm guessing it's the latter.
So the plan is to have no accountability at all? There has to be some objective measure of performance. If the tests don't measure what is important for the kinds to know then change the tests.

The expiration of the patents on laser sintering will do good things for homemade printing.
ATF is trying to make a political point. It looks like they are intentionally using a different kind of plastic.

It was a joke.
It's actually true.

Of course, the seating chart in French national assembly is a more valid way to determine what they are, rather than their name.
yes, that is correct, but it's not exactly what they are know for :) I could have said communists, but then someone would chime in and say that the communists aren't really communist. In the end, everyone knows who we are pointing at and where they would sit in the national assembly.
Rice, beans, and ramen noodles are cheap. People can eat a lot cheaper than they are normally used to.

It was voided by the courts, but they dd try to ban private insurance. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/10/international/americas/10canada.html?_r=0

It's different when you are a vegetarian my choice rather than having to be one due to bad hunting skills :)

I don't think there is any prohibition on gambling or terrorism sites. You can visit them, you just can't give them money.
