PaulaRevere, Good copmments!!, We are a capitalist country, and risk and entreprenuerialism should be rewrded. And people should only get what they EARN, ... BUT, have you looked at how inefficient our health system is??? WE have shorter life spans by far while spending almost DOUBLE per capita. WE have 700,000 bankruptcies at least partially due to medical costs. HOw many in Enland, Fance, Germany, Australia, etc, ??? NONE. That many foreclosed homes (dur to medial induced banruptcies), and personal expense is a huge drain on our economy. And heaven help >YOU< if you get sick and lose your insurance. DEmocracy, even a capitalist democracy, must be more than two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner. And Dont get me started on Bush Cheney totally screwing up this country, count the spending on IRAQ war, and thatis made us LESS SAFE, look at those statisitics!!!! not even counting life and injury. , and republicans are blaming Obama??? amazing!!

Congratulations! Lord, congratulations! The insanity of those news commentators prior to election night is scary. Best wishes for your term of serving our country and representing the Democratic Party in your Congressional District and in D.C. Praise Be The Lord.

Congradulations Representative Owens on a great win. We need your backing and unity for the Democrats to keep moving forward. They talk about the seperation within the Republican Party when I'm also seeing it amongst the Democrats. Mostly in the Senate. Hopefully you'll be a uniter amongst the Democrats. Congradulations again and you have my support all the way from Los Angeles. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Charles Bunting

Profit is bad? Anyone who has worked for a company knows that it must make a profit in order to pay its employees. Anyone who has held stock knows that to have it be a good investment, it must make a profit. I have never worked for a poor person. I think each of would love to have a "profit" in our bank account at the end of the month. It's a sound way to manage any enterprise, whether it's your own account or a pharmaceutical company. Please consider where you formed your ideas about profit being a bad thing. One suggestion is that government promotes class warfare so that they can continue to tax those profitable (greedy!) companies and especially those financially successful (greedy!) rich people.

I choose to offer concepts that work, versus naming the people behind them. As can be seen by the comments. some viewers are not interested in admitting facts. A knee-jerk reaction is easier, requires less analytical thinking, and allows a continuation of the infighting of me versus you. Meanwhile, while we are stuck in the mire, those in government are taking our freedoms away.

We're talking imperfect capitalism; they talking Mao.

We are not in a bind due to government, per se, but due to government that has that has capitulated to the pressures of business interests. If I get to choose between someone who is attempting to regulate health care in favor of the patient and someone whose avowed loyalty is to profit for the stockholders, I think I'll go with the government instead of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. Government that works in favor of the people instead of business interests is instantly branded as "socialist," but it seems the people are not being fooled by this tired old tactic this time around.

Interesting that you don't want to name that president... And try this: parallel your little tax rate history with the pre and post on the national deficit during the same period of time. We might get a little fuller picture of what that president's policies did for our country in the long run. It seems tax focused folks are only interested in short term profit. They keep taxes low by deferring maintenance and long range modest investment in favor of leverage in the short term that balloons the deficit leaving it for future generations to pay. The "lavish" spending going on is not to stuff the coffers of the already wealthy, but to finally attempt to correct the disasters that short term profiteers have created in the name of low taxes and unregulated financial policies.

Interesting how those committed to divisiveness can sit at home and delight in being cleverly rude to absolute strangers. The real America took pride in civility, compromise and tolerance. The models of that day called for decency, hearing both sides of every issue; fighting for what you believed and then drawing together as Americans behind whatever side prevailed. I guess you missed that chapter in your partisan history book.

The deficit tripled because Obama did not bring home the troops, one of his major campaign promises; and because of the outrageous no-help no-stimulus package he shoved down our throats. And now he is passing health care legislation that will add another trillion to the deficit. Ignorance is bliss, they say, so you must be happy.

Let's try something positive for our economy. There is proof that this works.

There was a president who was inaugurated when the highest tax rate was 81% and the tax revenue was $450 billion. Congress, under his leadership, REDUCED taxes to 28%, and 8 years later, the tax revenue was over double at $900 billion.

So, why is our president not doing the same thing? And why is he focused on jamming this expensive healthcare bill, along with a cap and tax bill that will drive our energy costs up, through when our economy is in shambles?

The election in the 23rd. Congressional District only shows that the Right wing will only see what they want to see. There must be a little something extra in the tea that the tea party monsters drink. The domination of American politics that they envision is nothing but hallucination.

You already pay for schooling and what is wrong with paying for medical care for those who need it? As far as elective abortions - it's the right, according to law, for women to choose that route and none of your business. Generally women who do have abortions do so because they don't know of alternative and feel unable to care for a child. If people like you were willing to help them support themselves and the children, maybe they wouldn't feel the need to abort but it's the same people who scream against abortion who also scream about medical care, food stamps, etc. for those in need. You made my point with your stupid remarks - just wanted to point it out to you.

All the White House has to do, is the exact opposite of what Bush/Cheney did for the last 8 yrs. and things will finnaly start to get better. I like what mcgtrinsofla had to say.

The thought that I see scattered throughout these comments is that we are really in a bind because of decisions that people in the government have made. Regardless of whom you want to blame, the point is pretty clear that government usually makes wrong decisions on our behalf. Their short-term decisions cause negtive, unintended consequences that they do not anticipate.

Therefore, why would anyone want to relinquish control of our own doctors and medical decisions to the government?

Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result, is insanity.

Many voters throughout their state have voted for medical marijuana to be legal, Federal Government have repeatedly treaded on states rights; Obama giving states back that decision by not having feds prosecute. What ever happened to those that preach about States right, the principle tenent of our Founding father. At 53 yr old I know body is mine, women's birth control still intrusive , hormones may not be the way I want to go [men dont have to ingest synthetic product]; I have that right to choose even if I choose to incabate. Constitution gives me the right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness; so other people deciding I have to be a mother clearly is unconstitutional by treading on my rights. I don't like the Pelosi health bill, I rather European version of health care, there is a reason Danes are happiest people. As for our volunteer army tell that to men and women who are being told after 3-4 tours of duty sorry you still can't leave
even though your contract is up, because not enough people want to volunteer. If we are at war, than bring back the draft and make all Americans responsible for fighting for our freedom. We know how many are recruited, they are grabbed before they even make it to college; living in economically deprived areas all over America and told you can go to college after you get out. As for our last statement why do you think pacifist are not freedom fighters who support our troops, maybe we don't suppport certain wars. After all Obama is deciding right now on what to do with a depleted force in Afghanistan/Pakistan which always was the war zone. Knowone can blindly follow, look at where it got the German's. As a New Yorker maybe I believe that funding my police force fighting terrorist might be more productive. To tell you the truth I think Ray Kelly is doing the best job fighing terrorism; just look at how many plots NYPD has broken up.

i am so sick of the "cnservitives" wrapping up thier bigotry and hatred in flag and bible. i would say "get a life", but, obviously they have none, or any idea what to do with one if they had it.

This should just be a perfect indicator of just how wrong the right wing party is, standing in all their confidence, stuck in just idealism, throwing realism by the wayside, with just so many of the know-it-alls, just plain, dead wrong!

Hussein has already said that medical marijuana should be legalized. Look for it in the coming days. Tell them you have a headache and voila! marijuana! Your body is yours: Birth prevention is available in many, many forms. Try using that instead of abortion. If you don't want "some shirt behind a desk" making your medical decisions, you had better vote "No" on Pelosi's health bill. Those men and women sent to war are ALL VOLUNTEERS. Nobody grabbed them from behind a desk in college, dressed them in uniforms and plunked them down in Iraq or Afghanistan. They wanted to be part of something bigger than themselves, so they pledged everything up to and including their lives to keep this country free from further attacks. If you can't get behind them, then feel free to get in front of them.

The "freedom" to pay for illegal aliens' schooling, medical care from cradle to grave, and the freedom to pay for all elective abortions so girls and women won't be "saddled" with a baby...as Hussein so delicately put it.

In nine months, the Bumbler in Charge Now has TRIPLED the deficit Bush accumulated in eight YEARS. He campaigned against Bush's spending, then proceeded to triple it. Now he will have control over another 1/6 of our economy, and his minions will decide whether grandma can have her hip replacement so she can walk again.
