Calculate the cost for the Senate and House bills for you

WASHINGTON -- Just over a week after the worst mass shooting in American history, the Senate failed Monday to advance a pair of modest and popular gun violence reform measures. One would have barred gun sales to anyone who has been on a terrorist watch list in the previous five years or who is "reasonably" suspected of posing a terrorist threat. Another would have tightened the background check system to cover the so-called gun show loophole and all internet gun sales. About 90 ...

By Daniel TencerThursday, January 21st, 2010 -- 2:29 pm Dems mull reconciliation to push through reforms: report House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi says there aren't enough votes in the House to pass the Senate version of health reform, but what that means for the future of health reform is far from clear.

My husband and I need all the prayer we can get. I have been out of work for a year now due to outsourcing. He returned from a year long deployment in Iraq last July and has been looking for employment and found a job that is now not working him and his unemployment ran out right before that and now they are saying he cannot file for unemployment again because that would be considered quitting the job he has now although he has not worked in 3 weeks! Everything is on the verge ...

Democrats edged closer to finding 216 lawmakers to back a landmark health-care bill Saturday, as party leaders and White House officials were working on an executive order that they hope will win over a substantial number of antiabortion Democrats. The House Rules Committee continued its session on the third floor of the Capitol, where the panel is tasked with setting the terms of Sunday's floor debate. House leaders have decided to take a separate vote on the Senate version of the healt ...

Food for thought: “I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people. For example, I am black. I know that. I also know that while I am black I am a human being. Therefore I have the right to go into any public place. White people don’t know that. Every time I tried to go into a public place they stopped me. So some boys had to write a bill to tell that white man, “He’s a human being; don’t stop him." That bill was for the whit ...

Update (at bottom): Senator Dodd calls for credit card rate freeze until new rules take effect Did you pay your bills on time this month? Avoided taking on unnecessary debt? Well, there's a fee for that.

I have only catastrophic insurance and have to pay for everything out of pocket. For months my arm has been bothering me. Can't move it out to the side or front (can't even do a full heil hitler salute (LOL). It just won't move and I get pains in the infraspinatus muscle and then shooting pains down the outside of the arms. It doesn't bother me all day, but if I jerk my arm fast, or bump it I get the pains down my arm. Can't lift my arm up o ...

Obamacare Medical Device Tax: As of Jan.1, Obamacare imposes a new tax of 2.3 percent on medical device manufacturers, including those who make dental braces. The tax is imposed on gross sales -- even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. While the tax will be paid to the IRS by the manufacturer, the tax will be passed along as a higher cost of the product, ultimately to be borne by the parent buying the braces for their child. With the cost of braces being as high as $7,625 ...

So, I'm one of those people generally don't go to the doctor unless they are spurting blood across the room, but... A couple months ago, I found a lump in my breast, so I made an appointment with a GYN. I went there, they had me leave a urine sample, he felt the lump, wrote me a referral to a breast surgeon and for a mammogram/ultrasound and told me it would definitely need to be biopsied (freaking me out some more) and that was it. I had the mammogram/ultrasound. His office call ...

Got this from an article online To prove my point, I've put together this list of 50 healthy foods that I've purchased at least once in the last six months for under $1 a pound.

See link below, and this: A letter Thursday to President Barack Obama and members of Congress signed by more than 130 economists predicted the legislation would discourage companies from hiring more workers and would cause reduced hours and wages for those already employed.

By John ByrneMonday, April 5th, 2010 -- 9:00 am Republicans were thrilled when Tea Party-backed Scott Brown won a special election to capture Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts. But they're not quite as thrilled with the Tea Party now. Angst at the government in power may fuel some conservatives to boycott the US census, costing their party coveted seats in Congress for years to come. Republicans could also lose seats in state legislatures if districts are redrawn. The US po ...

Double the cost of 16 years under Bush and Clinton. By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON As Adam White discusses in detail, thereâ��s nothing moderate or incremental about the increase in federal regulations â�� and hence in centralized executive power â�� under President Obama. To the contrary (as White notes), according to figures published by the Obama White House (see table 2-1), the costs of regulations issued by this administration have dwarfed the costs of regulations issued by prior admini ...

I know when I was young and needed it most people actually had some money left over to pay for stuff like that after your essentials came out - can any of us MTs honestly say we could afford birth control today if we had to use it? And we are not the only ones who have been victims of corporations lowering and lowering your pay while prices in the real world went up and up. I do think free contraception is a good thing. Contraception stops unwanted pregnancy = prevents abortion. I think this ...

The nursery in Amy Fabbrini and Eric Ziegler's home is filled with unread children's books and unworn baby clothes. A Winnie the Pooh blanket lies untouched inside a crib where a child has never slept.

The Department of Human Services has removed both of their boys, saying the parents are too mentally limited to be good parents. ...
