Where's the sanity in giving corporations that won't hire Americans a break?

DEMS need to do a lot of things. DEM Americans are sick of the 'bi-partisan' mantra. Good going DEMS - alienate the American people so that the GOP will play with you. If you lose in NOV you will have pounded the final FAIL nail into the Middle Class coffin.

The people DO NOT want these wars! Dollars that need to be spent in the US are being spent to not only tear down countries, additional dollars are then spent to rebuild those same countries.

What an ego Washington has to believe they can 'win the war' in Afghanistan!! The people we are 'looking for' fled a long time ago. Are we planning on country-hopping all over the Middle East playing whack-a-mole with American's lives and finances while our country falls into ruin and poverty?

The best 'defense' would be to actually build this country up - not ruin it with fruitless 'war spending'!!!

I believe this is called theft.

Well said Diana!

I have stewed about the fact that some of us get to pay tax on our premiums while others don't and was very happy to see a like mind here.

The DEMS who are thinking with their future campaign contributions instead of their responsibilitiies to WE THE PEOPLE will find that they've drug their party out on to the same shaky limb currently occupied by the GOP.

I commented to my husband that it will be a great time to be a member of a 'new' party come 2012 if the DEMS keep this crap up!

As of June 23rd, 50% Republicans are for it too!!!

Very excellent point you've made Dee.

If We The People cannot have the same medical benefits as the members of Congress, then Congress should have the same benefits as we currently do.

We need to push this question up on the list. It's too far down to make it to the Q&A session!!!!!!!!!!

I fear the answer is: Because if consumers can produce their own energy, the Utility Companies would be out of business, and we ALL know, that will never happen.

We were promised this during the campaign! Don't let this administration follow in the footsteps of the past! The citizens have already proven they are willing to vote for CHANGE and that's exactly what we'll do in the next election if we are forced to trudge down the road of broken promises for the next 4 years.

They weaseled their way in with false proclamations akin to - We have seen the light and recognize change is necessary - for the sole reason of 'keeping their enemies closer.'
The same way as when the top jerk from Citigroup was in the hot seat crying that he just NOW realized he had sinned and he was repentant. Are we seriously expected to buy the BS that he was genuinely clueless that his actions were reprehensible and had JUST figured it out and was going to change???!!!!
Regular folks get fired for that sort of inability to perform their jobs.
Turn to the next chapter where he turns around and screwed us out of MORE money. He still has his job, doesn't he - and our money. Nice work US Government.

Was the promise of the public being able to obtain THE SAME HEALTHCARE PLAN AS CONGRESS just a campaign ploy?

More than just THIS nation will be watching this issue play out - or not.
