At 81, Castro has outlasted nine U.S. presidents since his 1959 revolution turned Cuba into a thorn in Washington's side by building a communist society about 90 miles offshore from the United States.

WE should have a sliding scale similar to this: Any family earning less than $150,000 per year qualifies for a tax credit for any insurance premiums they have to personally pay for, all the way down to families making at least $70,000 per year. Families making less than $70,000 per year get a much smaller tax break, but also get a discount of up to 50% of the cost of their health insurance. So they would have to go out and get their insurance and the insurance company can bill the fed government for the part the customer did not pay(50% of premiums). Families or households making less than $25,000 per year, get free healthcare if they can provide proof of citizenship.

Supply and demand will also affect this plan, because most health care providers who accept this government program will be busier, and those who do not accept it will be less busy. So consumers could decide to self insure entirely and go to less busy providers. That would be their choice.

I'm not suggesting these threats are unreal, niether that thay are not worth standing against, but my problem is that they are so ill defined. Our enemy one minute is our friend the next. Is it really worth sacrificing innocent lives, patriotic lives, and useful lives when nobody really knows where the evil is?

How about a war on elitism, or protectionism, or priviledge?

Bush's leacy for Four More Years.

I am a tax paying individual I have to obey all laws, shouldn't local Mayors, Chief of Police. I cannot disobey any law who gave them the right to flaunt disobeyance. Do we vote them out of office. Since the Federal Government at this time will do nothing, what are our options.

They are not all picking lettuce....some are raping, driving intoxicated, shooting execution style, college kids and taking up 25pct of the beds in federal prison. I wonder the percentage of state prisons.

Well come on you liberals, tell us...socialists, communists.
Our founding Fathers would roll over in their graves.
How about hollywood and Chevas I know I spelled it wrong...I like to...he amounts to nothing more than an empty bottle. But the left kisses dictators and socialist behinds. Forgot that capitalism and freedom made them their fortunes.

How can one despise that which made them their being.???

If that is too deep for you...keep buying carbon credits. It's like a pet rock hopefully here today gone under.

I did my time in the Corps and I don't regret it.
But when I was in the Corps and would go to the Air Force and Army bases. Even the Naval bases are so much better.

Baetter chow halls, all the air force get their own rooms.
The Air Force has no Barracks Duty.

The other services actually treat people like human beings.

I just would wonder why is the best service treated the worst.

Now, I know that as a child I use to sleepwalk, I would never remember it, and my parents would tell me the stories all the time. I would only wake up if I went outside because of the change of temperature, otherwise I could walk through the entire house and not wake up. Hard to believe you could do what he did and not wake up or remember.

I keep hearing, even within the same answer! "it has nothing to do with being gay, it's about the law" as if he stole a bunch of money from tax payers, then, in the same breath following with "and he's been so anti-gay rights that it's hypocritical of him"
So, which is it? Is it the fact he broke a law that is not even a very serious crime? Or is it because he is a hypocrite?

Larry Craig, Senator of Idaho, was accused of disorderly conduct yesterday. As you may or may not know, he reportedly rubbed his foot against that of a male cop's under the stall door in a bathroom of an airport. However, he denies being gay. What are your thoughts on this?

Rep. Idaho Sen. Larry Craig is "backpedaling" quite hard these days, trying hard to deny his gay tendencies...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070829/ap_on_go_co/craig_arrest

This again proves the duplicity and lies that these idiots live on a daily basis, publically taking a harsh position against homosexuality, and privately living the life that they claim to fight against.

Two faced idiots...

Is it time that Rep. Idaho Sen. Larry Craig came ut of the closet, and cleared the air with the truth?

Me and my ex husband have been divorced over 8 years. I have custody of the kids and have since remarried. My ex husband is about $5000 behind in back child support. Every time it is his weekend for the kids, he asks me to send food because he doesnt have any. We can barely afford to buy food for our family and then we have to send food to my ex. My ex can work but he refuses to look for work. He will work a job for like 2 weeks and then he quits after the Child support people find out where he is working. I called the child support office and was told as long as he makes a payment or tries to make a payment every 3 months, then there is nothing they can do about it. He is on probation with the child support office for non payment but it's non supervised, so nothing is done about making him pay. What should I do?

It has to be something posted PRIOR to this posting, and it has to be a verifiable liberal Y!A user who says something about how Craig is evil because he's gay.

I challenge you. Can you rise to it, or will you slink away with your tails between your legs when you realize no one is bashing him for being gay; they're bashing him for BREAKING THE LAW?

Lets assume you are correct in that we should not have socialized medicine and that the reason to oppose it is to keep taxes down, and keep government spending down. I think that is a commandable attitude to not waste money....so I sort of agree. But my question is ..how then do you justify pissing away all those hundreds of billions of dollars in an "elective war" in iraq...a war that did not have to be...that we just decided to start. How can you be so frugal and so fiscally responsible when it comes to taking care of citizens and their health but be willing to throw good money after bad in Iraq like its going out of style. Where is the outrage for that waste of taxpayer money. Those are taxes that you were charged that are obviously excessive..since government can just piss it away like that. Dont ya agree?
