Healthcare Reform
As long as our politicians who take money from insurance lobbyists labor under the delusion that insurance companies are part of the healthcare solution rather than a major part of the healthcare crisis then here is how to make the severely curtailed public option work.
If your claim is denied by your insurance company you are automatically eligible to enroll in the public option. Premiums for the rest of your life will be paid for by the insurance company that denied your doctor's claim. This would make it unprofitable for insurance companies to pull a bait and switch on America's insured.

Bush's bailout of banks didn't save them. CIT cost taxpayers $2.7 billion dollars. That would have bought the entire first year of well baby check-ups for 3.5 million babies. That is over 21 million checkups.

Fox Network Has No
Obama's administration is under fire for pointing out Fox "News" isn't. As always, facts have a liberal bias. Not only was there a 2003 study showing Fox "News" viewers were misinformed a newer study came out and showed that viewers of The Daily Show, a comedy news program, are better informed of news than viewers of Fox "News".

FDR's Unfinished Work
I love Michael Moore's new film, Capitalism: A Love Story. I think it points to what we should do. Pass FDR's proposed Second Bill of Rights.
- The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation.
- The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation.
- The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living.
- The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad.
- The right of every family to a decent home.
- The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health.
- The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment.
- The right to a good education.
I plan to support only candidates for public office that will fight for these rights.

Rep Alan Grayson Is Right
Republicans are Neanderthals when it comes to universal health care. The Republicans have the exact same plan that Neanderthals did. None.
Way to go, Alan! Thanks for standing up for the American people! I plan to contribute to Rep. Grayson's campaign. Courageous, patriotic behavior needs to be rewarded.

Keeping Us Safer?
The Bush/Lieberman boondoggle known as "Homeland Security" has issued a report. They recommend that we move from 5 colors to 3 colors for the Terror Alert Level. I hear Al Qaida quaking in their boots. How much was spent on this study and in 8 years why were two of the colors (blue and green) never used?

Health Care Reform and Taxes
You realize what is at stake here. We can save every billionaire a dollar in taxes for each American that dies due to inability to pay for a doctor's visit.
