Most healthcare expense takes place in the last 6 months of a person's life and most young people aren't dying. That's where Obama is gonna tell Granny that she needs to quit clinging to life.

Yeah and if they don't pay it, the IRS will come get them. LOL.

What we're going to see is the mandate is Unconsitutional and will be thrown out. The "lynchpin" will be broken.

I can't believe all the Libs aren't campaigning on all this fine reform they passed. Where is Mr. Loebsack's commercials touting this great health care reform? Instead we now know he worked in a sewage treatment plant and the national AFL-CIO feels they have to come in and try to save his behind.

You are the same kind of person who has to hand over their money to someone else because you are not diligent enough to manage it. So let's give peoples' own money to the government to sit on and waste and while they are wasting it, tell us they are going to need to tax us more or raise the retirement age (you know what that really means when they say that, they want more of you to die without collecting as much of your money back, how sick is that). So the government hopes you die and don't collect and somehow that is greater than having your own account that only lets you invest in the most conservative investment options, which could be US Treasuries for crying out loud.

So give me your money and I will pay you back at 1% if you live to be 62 or 65 and if you don't I will just keep it all and in the meantime I will have a party and waste your money and leave little IOUs in their place. Sound like a deal?

Hey bud, news flash................. Obama is the President. The Dems have supreme control over Congress and can and could do anything they wished, including completely reversing NAFTA so where were your people? What has Obama done about jobs going to China??? Dude, live in the now not in the past. Embrace the liberals in power, they are you. Ask them to do what you wish to have done because they have all the power and have had for two years.

Old Dave just wants to continue to be able to loot social security. Keep taking the money and spending it and putting little IOUs back in the vault. A huge government ponzi scheme being used as a slush fund right out in the open and you suckers keep going right along with Dave.

Of course he grew up in a poor home and worked in a sewage treatment plant and worked his way through college so therefore he is qualified to be a Congressman (especially helpful is the experience with sewage). Like there aren't thousands of others in Iowa who did the exact same thing to improve themselves.

Uh, it is supposed to be 103 degrees during the day. Play at 4:30? Not a chance there this time of year.

I would say that if there were three undefeated teams such as Alabama, Nebraska and Iowa, it probably would be Alabama and Nebraska in the title game so it was more of a beauty pageant the nation would want to watch. Or even it were Alabama and Oklahoma undefeated along with Iowa. I'm sure we'd go ahead of Boise State or TCU if undefeated, but probably not say an Oklahoma or Nebraska if they happened to make it along with Alabama. All we can do is take care of business and not lose.

It all really doesn't matter at this time of year anyway. We win out and we will be in the title game. We don't, we won't.

So you want to pass laws now regulating ownership of media?

If Dems supposedly can't pass anything through Congress now with filibuster proof majorities, how Mr. Wizard would it be that Republicans could have gotten what they wanted before Queen Nancy and Prince Harry took over?
