Finally someone with a clue. All you need to do is look at other countries that have gone down the same road into bankruptcy. That is the road we are on. Our politicians need to learn that just because they are rich....that doesn't mean our country has an unlimited fund of money.
We need to go through programs and get rid of the waste. As for taxes...let the Bush tax cuts expire but also we need to reform the tax code. Get rid of these ridiculous loopholes that rich people and big corporations use. Get rid of those and we would get more tax revenue without even raising taxes. Flat tax would make it simple and pretty cut and dry. No excuses for unpaid taxes, etc.
I also think we should figure out a way to keep politicians from voting themselves raises. Absolutely ridiculous.
In my personal opinion...this isn't a republican versus democrat thing. They all have had their greedy little hands in the cookie jar. Regardless who started it or who is gonna finish it....we need to get our heads out of our rear ends and stop this outrageous spending before it is too late!

PainJan 25, 2010Hey, m'lovely MT sisters, I suspect I have bursitis in my right shoulder. It started as pain in my right arm biceps area and I had an odd rash in the area, so to be honest I was afraid it might have been shingles (never had them, but heard they're very painful).
Ladies, it's been about 6 weeks and it's still freakling painful, but I believe I was wrong on precisely where the pain was originating. I believe it's emanating at my right shoulder joint. I ...

Old MT/QA With PainMay 13, 2010I have been an MT/QA for 24 years. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, have had bilateral carpal tunnel release, and I have cervical impingement. I tried a new product called Evolv enhanced water beverage which has a formula called Archaea Active. It claims to "promote a healthy inflammatory response." Honestly, I was skeptical about it, but I am here to testify that this is truly a Godsend!! It was explained to me that it increases oxygen at the cellular level and ...
Leg PainDec 05, 2013For the last couple weeks, whenever I go to bed, if I am on my back or side, I awaken several times with pain in my right calf and knee, if I turn on my stomach it goes away. The first couple hours I am up in the morning it is painful, cannot put my right leg over my left, cannot cross my leg to put on my shoes because it immediately causes a sharp pain to shoot through my leg. Cannot bend over because of the same. After moving around about two hours it is okay pretty much the ...
Hip Pain..againJan 02, 2014You guys probably don't remember but I'm the person who posted about hip/butt pain a few months back.

Well fast forward to today. i have been jogging lately...went jogging and got home and the pain in my hip was terrible. sitting is ok but moving hurts. I sneezed just now and my hip hurt. Any idea what it could be? This is different from the butt/back side of my hip p ...
Pain At The PumpMar 01, 2012Do you ever wonder why the gas prices are up and down? There is still about the same amount of gas out there (although it is a finite resouce that is going away) and we are still using about the same, more or less, with our more efficient vehicles.
The price fluctuates because the Wall Street traders can make it fluctuate. They do this so they can make money. In 2008, (Bush Administration, by the way) the prices were over $4.00 a gallon. The Obama administratio ...
Pain In ShinsJun 02, 2011Hi. I actually have a health question related to transcribing! I've transcribed for over 25 years and have had no problems other than tight neck and shoulders; no hand, wrist or arm pain. Recently my company changed from cassettes to digital, so I'm using a sllightly different type of food pedal. I can't believe this would make a difference, but I don't know what else could cause this problem ... shin pain. Firs ...

I used to get them when I started and then it went away, but lately its been getting me again especially in my upper outer thigh. Its not so much an instant leg cramp sensation, just more of a achy feeling (like if you're on a plane) that does go away after I stand up. Any suggestions?? ...

Wrist Pain, Not CTSDec 25, 2010I'm once again having wrist pain in my dominant hand which is worse at the end of my shift.

Have Pain Right BoobApr 29, 2012I participated in water aerobics and about a week later woke up with a painful boob and this has been going on for about 4-5 days. So, I'm thinking I pulled something. Never had this before.

Inner Ankle PainJun 13, 2013Hi all,
For the last 2 years or so I have been suffering from right inner ankle pain. It has progressively gotten more and more painful. I have had x-rays and it shows nothing is wrong. I am pretty sure it's has to be posterior tibialis tendinitis, but now it's starting on the left ankle. When I rotate my right ankle in a circle, I can feel a popping sensation that doesn't really feel like it's bone, but it is so terribly sore. I wondered if may ...
Knee PainJun 20, 2013Have been told by orthopod that I have bone-on-bone in my right knee. He suggested surgery and gave me Tramadol for the pain. Surgery is not an option financially at this time. I have been losing weight in order to take some of the pressure off. I cannot take the Tramadol and work because it makes me sleepy. Cannot take NSAIDs because of the GI side effects.
Any suggestions on how to deal?

Back Pain......severeFeb 13, 2012Any suggestions for severe higher back pain? It's around my left shoulder blade and goes into my chest. I've done the heat and ice, hot bath, Advil, Flexeril, and sleeping in different beds in the house. Nothing is working and it is literally killing me.
