Marla, you're right on !!

King, take them to your local bank. They'll tell you exactly what needs to be done.

Pat, since Allawi didn't win an outright majority, he has to form a coalition government. Iran has much influence with friends, heavily Shiite Muslim (I believe), & relatives in Iraq, which could pose a problem with some of the elected officials that Allawi needs to help him govern.

.in addition, please take with you; Pelosi,Reid,Frank, Dodd, et.al.

Mus, please read the letter by Mr. Connelly that was posted. If you disagree with parts of it, please site those parts and back up your thoughts with facts or good intel. Mr. Connelly makes a compelling argument, and all you can do is start calling names. This legislation is unconstitutional,and needs to be repealed. If left as law, it will do nothing less than make us more dependent on the government, and less independent individuals. We are being weakened !

umm,hmm, pbeach. About par for the course.

Wise counsel, life. Keep it up. It's folks like you who keep us from getting too down at times !!

10 cents, I'll take, but $1 would be better, huh ?

Been an investor for little over a year. Heard rumors from day one !! Gets frustrating,but guys like Adam et.al., help with good intel and upbeat attitude. Soon, I hope !!!

ghitch, you are just like so many others who support this trap. For goodness sake, see the problem and work to fix it without giving up your (and my) independence. Work toward tort reform; work toward open ,honest competition in the health insurance field by allowing insurance companies to offer their products across state lines. Capitalism works wonderfully well when allowed to. We must have laws restricting monopolistic situations; that's what capitalism can so easily get to. Government should protect citizens against bad practices WITHOUT actually getting into the business. That is exactly where we are headed with this legislation. Years ago, in an effort to protect market share, insurance companies encouraged the formation of laws to restrict interstate access to healthcare insurance. It was a misdirected effort, but one that worked well for a while. Now we're in this predicament which actually causes just the type situation(s) you describe. If we had less government intrusion and more competition, prices would come down. Come on, embrace your freedoms and work to keep them !

ghitch, everyone knows some changes were/are needed in our healthcare delivery. Only fools believe it will be done better by the federal government. Secondly, and maybe more importantly, the government is succeeding in making the people of this country more and more dependent on centralized government and less self reliant. This is a sad thing that has just been foisted on our people !

Not plausible, not probable, gains Iraq NOTHING compared to the negative fallout. Goofy idea.....................
