Isn't it wonderful that we've taken it out of the hands of the incompetent and inefficient hands of the federal government thus avoiding the hazards of socialism? Those on Medicare have so many choices now (usually over 50). Sure, those on Medicare may have a little trouble affording the team of lawyers and accountants they'll need to navigate the arcane terms of the policies available to them, and if they don't want to fall into the notorious "doughnut hole" they'd be wise to remain very rich or very poor, but on the whole the pharmaceutical and insurance industries should do very nicely for themselves. Three cheers for the U.S.A. where we don't ask the government for handouts. Instead we use our entreprenurial ingenuity to bankrupt those who do.

Excerpt from President Roosevelt's January 11, 1944 message to the Congress of the United States on the State of the Union

It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.

This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.

As our nation has grown in size and stature, however—as our industrial economy expanded—these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality

With all the talk about a 'right to health care', does anybody wonder what that really means?

Health care is the product of somebody's labor.

There was a time in the world when some thought they had a 'right' to the labor of others, but that was supposed to have become unacceptable.

I can not claim the right to the labor of people to work on a plantation any more that I can claim the right to the labor of a person working in health care. Further, I have no inherent right to claim the labor of taxpayers for my wants or needs.

I have a natural right to life, liberty and property which is not granted by the government. It is a natural right. The government is supposed to be prevented from taking it away from me by the Constitution.

Who thinks they have a right to health care and if so, what makes that different from claiming a right to slaves?

If there was some type of emergency. A flood, a fire, a terror attack that kills 100 people, a cyber threat, a flu outbreak that kills a dozen, should the president be allowed to take over every branch of government and every business?

"Homeland Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20/51"

*Pros and cons please

I love the World Factbook and the US Country Studies

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html

http://countrystudies.us

I would love to work for such a country/regional research publication such as Country Studies... but I am not an American citizen so of course I cannot work for the US Army or CIA. I would only be able to work in Canada or the UK.

Is there another publication that I may be able to work for?

I think social security is stupid. I dont want the Govt taking away like 10% of my paycheck, just so I can get it back when im 65. For one they are not going to pay me as much money as they took away, and secondly I could be doing much better things with this money. Im an investor and would greatly appreciate that extra money each paycheck to put into stocks. Yet they find it necessary to take it from me so I can be protected when im 65.

Ive got a better idea. How about educate the young citizens of America (like myself, im 15) how to save money, and teach us the value of money and how to make it work for us (stocks, mutual funds, CD's, etc.) so we can retire comfortably??

Am i the only one who feels this way, and am i wrong? If so please point it out to me without being an ***.

it says in my book that it resulted by giving the supreme court judicial review, or in other words that the supreme court had the right to review acts and laws of congress and, by extension, actions of the president and if the court found that a law or act was unconstitutional that it could overrule that law/act

i thought that we already had judicial review before this case?


forgive me if this question is stupid, im actually trying to pass my class and in order to do that i need to understand everything first and i tend to ask lotssss of questions haha

There are many theories that help us better understand our constitution and the law and help us figure out what it really means. Why is it so important for the Bill of rights to apply not just federal government but state government as well?
