So sad to see Michael Steel, the Republican National Committee chairman repeat the right wing doctrine that 'government doesn't create weath. Has he never heard of the orginal GI Bill? You don't think such wide spread education created wealth?
But Steel is still such a tool of the monied classes. Buesness owners and investors aren't the only ones who create weath. It is probably the rest of us who create weath for the the buesness owners and investors. We need to get over dotrinare Reaganism.
The Replbucans keep saying that the vote on the health care plan is going to turn the Congress Republican. I guess we'll see in November.
One primary reason that the public doesn't like the health care plan is because the Republicans and the Tea Partiers have activly tried to mis-inform the public about the current heath care proposal. The Republicans are trying to to make the plan look like a Canadian style single player plan. They don't directly say it, but they don't do anything to discribe the plan accuratly.
I don't think most people understand the current plan. I'd like to see a poll that probes people's understanding of the health care plan. My guess, a good number of people think the bill is a single-payer Canadian style plan. The people who support a single payer plan know that is not what it is.
You've gotta remember Republicans changed Senate rules to make sure the Voter-ID bill got out of the Senate in the first place. The slowdown seems like perfectly good use of the by the Dems to me.
More or less what Ann Richards said about Gorge Bush I. Robert Frank discusses the link between success and luck. Its one more thing the teabaggers have wrong.
And the whole thing started in Shrub's mess of Justice Department; a department that held ideology over competency.
I think we finally have a team in Washington that knows right from wrong and a President that knows what torture is.
Stevens may well have been as crooked as they come, but the man should at least have a fair trial. But in George 'it's only a piece of @#$@#% paper' Bush's Justice department, the standard was 'why let the Constituion stand in the way of a conviction, torture, or imprisonment without habeas corpus.
I wanna be on the tarmac when GWB or Chaney's first flight out of the country leaves the US. I'll be chanting 'Hope you find some justice and never come back."

But to pay for the Pell Grant expansion, Obama would end federal support for private lending. And one of the major corporate providers of student loans is NelNet, a company based in Lincoln, Neb., the home state of Sen. Ben Nelson, a moderate Democrat who balked at the stimulus package and teamed up with three moderate Republicans to cut $100 billion from the final bill. Cutting off support for NelNet would cost Nebraska about 1,000 jobs, according to Nelson's office. Nelson said the move could hurt middle-class students who do not qualify for Pell Grants. "I don't support anything that could reduce those benefits," Nelson said.
Nelson is also one of several Democrats who have objected to changes Obama has proposed in the farm subsidy system. By stopping direct payments to farms with annual sales of more than $500,000, the White House expects to save about $10 billion over 10 years. But along with Nelson, another Democratic opponent of Obama's annual-sales model is Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (N.D.).
Who'd of thought, the senior Senator from New York?
It really was about Israel.
