bobmnu started a new discussion called AARP gets paid off for their support with our money in politics.
16 hours ago
It seems that AARP received $18,000,000 for job creation and created zero jobs. However they did support the Health Care bill and language was inserted in the bill to eliminate most private insurance companies but would allow AARP type insurance which will bring them billions in new revenue. I recently responded to a trial membership and have been receiving weekly messages from them about insur...

Should we have a Constitutional Amendement that limits the number of terms that a person could serve in Congress? Right now we have Power Brokers and not representives in Congress. How many member of Congress have held a real job? How many really live in their district - more than a legal residence. The best example of why we need term limits is Senator Byrd 9D-WV). How many monuments has h...

There are places but don't plan to make a lot of money from them. You have to have the right photos and many have strict guidelines for submission. To make the money you have to have the right photo at the right time. I have heard of a few who have made some money but they take hundreds of photos a week.

I can support the surcharges for certain dates when the demand is high. Hopefully this will mean lower fares for slow days or more bargain fares.

I do believe we need Health Care reform but not in the manner that is being proposed. On the immigration issue I think we should seal our BORDERS and take control of who comes and goes. Being realistic we can not deport the ones who are here now. What we should do is provide a system for them to become citizens. If they do not want to be citizens then we need to have some form of guest worker p...

Even Congressman David Obey (D-WI) has called for an investigation into the Stimulus money hand how it is being spent or not spent. He questions the Jobs created or saved. Granted Rep Obey is a little right of Speaker Pelosi and President Obama but his criticism is noteworthy.

The President has said that he would control cost by having a panel of people who would study the most cost effective procedures. This panel has a very cost effective method.

Annie Not your fault but the link did not work. I did read in the Wall Street Journal (11-19-09) where this commission - "which includes no oncologists and radiologists, who best know the medical literature — did decide to re-analyze the data with health-care spending as a core concern." Also according to this article it stated that "Medicare generally adopts the panel's recommendations when it...

As to your last comment Annie, I do not hate the President. I am opposed to his policies and the direction he is taking this country. I wish him no ill will, except his defeat in the next election. I have never wished any harm to him nor have I stated such in any positng. I have alwayse talked about his policies or his actions, not him as a person.
