Which part of WE DONT HAVE MORE MONEY is unclear? The government HAS TO FIND A WAY TO LIVE WITHIN ITS MEANS! First step, NO GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE IF YOU ARE NOT A LEGAL RESIDENT, no government paid translators, etc. NO art projects at the bus stops. No off-ramps/on-ramps for buses only. No out of country trips or new furntiture or raises for politicians. This isn't rocket science. THERE ARE RESPONSIBLE CUTS THAT COULD BE MADE. More taxes and fees will only equal more of us teetering on the line getting pushed over and onto government services.

Active duty military should be paid as part of the priority one group. Any non-US citizens should be removed from Medicaid and any other free government services. This would save a LOT. Politicians including the white house should NOT be in the priority one group. Why should they and people here illegally (and getting Medicaid) be part of the priority one group while the servicemen and women dying for this country go without pay? Rediculous!

There are many families who could go back to one parent staying at home with the kids if the families were willing to live like they used to in those days you refer to--a small house, only one car, no cell phones, no cable tv, no electronic games, only eat out to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, pack a lunch to take to work for the working spouse, maybe one small family tv with rabbit ears or no tv, maybe drive to a nearby state park and camp out for your extravagant family vacation. . . . Truth is, American families for the most part have both parents working to afford optional luxeries, not food. (Obviously, some American families really do have both parents working just to afford food and the very basic necessities, so this isn't about them.)

Wondering if any of you folks who think National Healthcare in the US would be so great have actually ever lived in a country that has it?? My friends in England carry private insurance to take care of pressing medical needs on top of funding national healthcare--because a hip replacement on national healthcare there takes six months. The first question my aunt's doctor in New Zealand asked her when he suspected a serious condition was if she could "go private" (could pay out of pocket, in this case $5,000 for tests), otherwise it would be seven months to see a specialist. (She came here, where she still had insurance through some work she'd just done in the states and saw a series of specialists in two weeks and got everything taken care of.) Meanwhile, women in Canada with high risk pregnancies continue to head across the border into the US where they and their premie babies can get care--not enough premie facilities in Canada under national healthcare, meaning in Canada if your baby is born early and there isn't an incubator available the baby dies.

National healthcare in the US will not mean everybody gets awesome care "for free." It will mean nobody gets halfway decent care except the rich who can always "go private." Meanwhile, many businesses have already said once national healthcare starts they will DROP the private insurance for their employees, so many who think it will be business as usual and that they won't be affected will soon get an unpleasant surprise. And guess what? If doctors can't make a profit because of low government compensation (which is already happening with medicare and medicaid, except that the rest of us pay more to make up for the shortfall), medicine isn't going to be a very attractive career and the number and quality of doctors available will plumet. Not to mention that with national healthcare, the government's interests and the patients are not the same--the patient wants to live, the government wants to cut costs, you do the math.

LOL, what a joke. Um its not the teachers that get the money, its the Union thugs. Then those crooks send a chunk of it back to the campaigns funds of Democrats (I believe it was 200 million in the last election) who then again give an even bigger chunk back to the unions and on and on. Money laundering at its best and theft of not just the initial money from the private sector, but the interest on those loans the Libs are piling up will destroy America. Which is of course the main objective for both the unions and the Socialist currently in power in D.C..

Oh please, "the wealthy" pay a ton in taxes--a way higher percentage then most people. In fact, huge amounts of money are put into public education--you could send a kid to college for the money spent by taxpayers to send a kid to any grade K-12. Meanwhile, the education recieved is worse than ever. There are huge problems with public education (which is why home schooling continues to gain popularity), but the people paying the bills aren't the problem. I think a voucher system would help alot. Schools would then have to be competitive and would be motivated to retain the best teachers (not just those with most union senority) in order to attract students. Good schools would flourish and reward good teachers, sub-par schools would fail and be replaced. And maybe kids would actually graduate high school knowing how to read! ;)

Man that would have to be a dream come true for Jake if that happened. Most top QB's prospects end up on bad teams because those are the teams with the top picks so landing on one of the best run teams in the league and getting a chance to work with a future Hall a Famer like Brady would be too much to hope for, for this guy.

If that happens I wish him the best.

Love how the first things to get "shut down" are soldier's pay and tax refunds. Never any mention of welfare checks to illegal aliens being slowed down, however. . . .

I agree, tons of action and if I may say so Edward is so HOT!

I hadn't heard of it till just now and went to check it out on Hulu.com but all they had was some previews and not any episodes http://www.hulu.com/watch/3094/making-a-scene-pri...
