If the health care bill does not go far enough it is the fault of the democrats not the republicans. Not one single vote was needed to pass the health care bill. Democrats hold a 78 seat majority in the House and an 18 seat party majority plus 2 independents that caucus with the democrats for a total 10 seat majority.
House democrats voted 221 to 39 in favor of the health care bill, republicans voted 1 to 176 against. Senate democrats voted 60 to 39 with one person not voting, all 60 votes were democrats and all 39 votes against were from the republicans as was the one non vote (Bunning) This lousy legislation was crammed down our throats by the democrats, it is rather easy of anyone to see that the democrats could have placed ANYTHING they wanted into the bill including a single payer system. There is no way in HELL that one vote in the House would have made any difference and it should be obvious that there were absolutely no votes to gain in the Senate.
The one and ONLY reason that this bill did not contain a single payer system is because of the democrats themselves. Who cares if they are conservative or liberal, they are still democrats. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was a policy started by Bill Clinton.
The purpose of this bill was to allow gays the opportunity to serve in the military because the military had long held a policy of preventing gays from serving. I prefer the don't ask don't tell policy and my reasons are based on how an openly gay might be treated. Wouldn't it be better to treat all members equally rather than to let it be known that they are gay and then subject these persons to possible homophobic acts?
Acts that just may include beatings if not murder. How about an openly gay person that is killed by friendly fire. How much suspicion do you think there would be that it was an intentional act?
Don't ask, don't tell would at minimum keep a persons sexual preference off the radar. I would just love to hear an explanation as to how the Bush tax cuts are interpreted as "Tax cuts for the Rich" Your Messiah, Obama stated that he wanted to end the tax cuts for the rich. He said that this would generate $700 billion in revenue over the next 10 years.
All of this was contained in an article that appeared on Yahoo just a few weeks ago. That same article quoted Obama as saying that the Bush tax cuts cost $4 trillion over 10 years. Excuse me as I sharpen my pencil; $4 trillion /10 = $400 billion If I end tax cuts for the rich I will increase revenues $700 billion over 10 years or $70 billion per year.
Sorry, but countless polls shows the majority of Americans do not want this "health care" bill. The bill only offers a few more people free health care, while the majority of those that can't get it now, still won't get it. All it's done is increase health care costs for everyone and give government more control of the choices that used to be made by us.
If the "health care bill" is so great, why did the democrats be sure to exempt themselves from it?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
