Interesting that I am a “left” in that might disagree in that would put myself more in the middle. I too wish the government played less of a role in everyday life, but reality is that as the number of people increased, the complexity of the world changed, as rights were given to those that were not white, male, european, etc. and as the world experience the barons of society —things simply got more complex than the framers of the constitution ever preceived.

Oh, also:
Don't ask what you can do for your country, ask what your country and others can do for you!! Full steam ahead for socialism. I am sick of working, sick of having to worry about paying bills, etc.. I demand the government provide for me from cradle to the grave.

Also, does anyone have any suggestions on where a person can find some side work where they can be paid in cash/goods? Gotta find a way to avoid the coming US Department of Healthcare taxes. Oh, what is the lowest income bracket one can work in to avoid the full onslaught of the coming taxes? I need about another two years at my current job and my home is paid off. I would then like to get a job that _I_ want, and not have to worry about getting healthcare benefits. My main goal is to get some job a monkey could do that makes around $10/hour and only make enough to still be eligible for food stamps, free breakfast and lunch for my kids at school, and grants for their college.

I am glad I will now be able to quit my job and become a layabout and bum, consuming various government resources, and having FREE healthcare to boot!! I don't see what is so bad about this bill? One of the only reasons I have a real job, having to wake up at 5:15AM in the morning, work weekends, etc. is for healthcare. Now I will be able to quit my current job in about seven to eight years when we have nothing but government healthcare. Now way I am going to keep working weekends and paying $200-$300/paycheck to the government for healthcare. Best to quit and be a load. Only suckers will continue to work hard and slave away now that healthcare will be here in near future.

How is the national government getting jurisdiction to force me to purchase insurance?

Mal: There are plenty-o D's in the tea party movement who understand that government is too big to succeed.

Tonight, it's accelerated its consumption, to a rate of assured self destruction.

Ooh, we've finally moved into the mid-20th century with a half measure. Rejoice! All is well.

A century later and we only get a half (closer to a third) measure toward healthcare reform. Although they lost the latest round, the conservatives are still winning the debate. But at least we've moved into the mid-20th century.
And by-the-by, I doubt that the Nov. elections will see wholesale removal of Democrats. They will lose seats, that is to be expected in an off-year election. However, I doubt that they'll lose even the House, much less the Senate. While most of the public does not favor the healthcare bill, parse it out. How many are against it because it does too little? Just because Congress has a low approval rating does not mean that people are dissatisfied with their congressmen. And it certainly does not translate into support for the GOP, unless people want nothing done in re: healthcare.
If it was such political suicide as hate radio has been making this out to be, the GOP would not be obstructing, lying, and screaming as they have been. If your enemy is killing himself you sit back, shut-up and let him do it. Warning him about the consequences is not in your interest.
And the tea-baggers (they called themselves this first, remember?) are not a political force to anything other than the GOP. They fizzled in Texas because they just can't deliver the votes. They maybe loud, but they're not going anywhere.
Ross Perot had a bigger following and how far did that get? They are not going to make a significant difference as they (primarily) are GOP voters. And I whole-heartedly support them. I want them to move the GOP even further into la-la land. To say that the tea-baggers are not politically astute is an understatement, akin to saying that Hoover did not fully understand economics. I certainly could be wrong, but let's just watch and see. I also stand by my previous prediction that Obama will be a 2 term president. Watch.
