During The 2-month Spending Cuts Delay, "discretionary"Jan 02, 2013
This is a little long, but I only posted part of it here. The first part explains the discretionary and mandatory spending terms. It then goes on to discuss the budget reduction and national deficit issues at stake when Congress tackles them in march. The Mr. Petersen of this foundation is a long-time budget hawk, one of our proud set of America-produced billionaires, who is very concerned about our nation's finances and debt. He was also Sec of Commerce in the Nixon administration.  ...

Record Campaign SpendingOct 26, 2012
I might be the only one, but this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The amount of money spent campaigning in this country is ridiculous.  And for what?  Do those ads even do anything?  Do they change peoples' minds?  I don't think they do.  All they ever seem to me is a childish tit-for-tat that makes us all look stupid. It just feels like both sides are trying to create the ultimate Hollywood film, and whoever's movie is better wins the prize. I'm aw ...

Medicare End Of Life SpendingDec 11, 2012
Original thread is getting pretty far down and I am curious because I have yet to hear a politican other than Mitch Daniels bring up this issue without screaming about killing grandma or using death panels.  When Medicare spends 25% of it's resources on end of life treatment then it's time for everyone to discuss this issue in a reasonable fashion.  Personally, and as one who is on Medicare, I feel that everyone who applies should have to include their advanced directives whi ...

TP Gets Its Wish--Thanks To Bush's Tax Cuts.Aug 05, 2011
Quote from S&P on downgrade: Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012,remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act. ...

Government Spending And False Claims.Mar 14, 2012
There is an official spreadshet of government spending at http://www.fms.treas.gov/mts/MTS.xls.  This should be examined before making false claims such as those that come from the right-wing echo chamber of late.  This spreadsheet shows that George H.W. Bush spent over $19 trillion during his 2 terms.  So far, Obama has spent $1.2 trillion.  Hmmmm.....  If we take the record back to 1980, the federal government has expended more than $45 trillion.  Hhhmmmm.&nb ...

The House Passed The Spending BillMar 06, 2013
Republicans passed it. Democrats were against it because it still included the $85 billion sequester dollars.  "The Senate isn't going to accept this bill," Senate Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said during debate.  Despite Democratic complaints, the House passed the bill easily in a 267-151 vote in which 53 Democrats supported it, likely because it will help avoid a government shutdown. Just 14 Republicans voted against it. Dems wanted Sequester, now they don't! ...

On A More Serious NoteJul 31, 2016
To those of you who favor Trump and are newspaper subscribers, please look and see if George Will's column is in today's paper.  I don't think his conservative credentials can be questioned.  He is asking what DT's connections are to Putin and whether DT has business interests in Russia.  The only way we will know this is by DT releasing his personal and business tax records.  This is very important and even Trump supporters should be interested in getting ...

A Note From Nov 13, 2013
What we said was; If you think I was being honest with you about health care, you're naive, I only said that you could keep your health care and your doctor to sucker you into voting for me.... PERIOD. I am sorry you are now stuck in this circumstance, but it was more important to get your vote than it was to actually care about your health coverage. Soon you too can go to health care .gov and give your personal data to a hacker or to some unscreened employee who has previously been in pris ...

Note To AllMay 02, 2015
If someone writes abiout politicians (no matter what party) and are criticizing politicians and issues, policies, etc it stays.  Period!

So to make it simple...if you comment or ridicule other posters on this board your post will be gone, if you talk about politicians, policie ...

10 Reasons Not To Get The Flu ShotOct 27, 2010
The verdict is out on flu shots. Many medical experts now agree it is more important to protect yourself and your family from the flu vaccine than the flu itself. Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this verdict: 1.) There is a total lack of real evidence that young children even benefit from flu shots.  A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo. Also the shots are on ...

Reasons To ChooseOct 08, 2016
Looking over the posts on the political board, I am stunned by the vitriolic posts. For the top office in the land, we are hiring someone for 4 years. We are the interviewer and the employer. We don't have to like the person, don't have to eat holiday dinner with the person, don't even have to watch the person on TV. We have 2 contenders, one will hold the office. That person has to know how to do the job and how to get congress (which is way more crucial than the president) to ...
