America, Isn't There A Better Way?
Who is really controlling the Economy and Healthcare?
Do we (the taxpayers) send checks, meal plans or plane tickets in our letters to our representatives?
NO.
We assume that our tax money and our votes are enough to secure the loyalty of those we elect to represent us. But… wait did we really elect these people ?
Lately we find more and more reasons to doubt the intentions of those "entrusted to create our laws".
We have learned that the popular vote may OR may not count.
I guess it depends on who is monitoring (or patronizing) the ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
After we calm down from the agitation that our vote doesn't always count.
Our conformity and support of the "winner" still may not guarantee rulings in favor of the "general public."
(General Public being those of us who make less than a MILLION a year.)
Let's face it, Insurance Companies, Banks and Other Big Business Companies can offer those lawmakers much more than we can. They can walk into each of the legislative offices bringing gifts, $$, and other commodities.
Do you think that any of us would not be tempted to sell out the future of our country, and of our children for a few wonderful years of being "wined and dined ".
The reality (America) is that the gaps between the have(s) and have-nots
are never going to decrease.
ACCESS to Healthcare will never be distributed with equally.
Wages and ownership will never be shared.
In life as in football it's “take the ball and run” or “get sacked” while your not looking.
“It’s easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission”
Life is not a game for those who play fair.
THE POOR will always be LESS EDUCATED, and PUNISHED more severely.
This is the way the world works. Just ask the politicians.

Corrupt Unlawful Actions Banks And Big Business
America, Isn't There A Better Way?
Corrupt, unlawful actions and yet no one is going to Prison.
Could this also explain why the lawmakers are creating laws against the voters instead of regulating Big Business, Insurance, Banks, and Car Companies?
Swayed by the payments, the county commissioners voted to select JPMorgan's securities division as managing underwriter of the bond offerings and its affiliated bank as swap provider for the transactions, the SEC said.
JPMorgan failed to disclose any of the ??unlawful payments?? or conflicts of interest in the bond offering documents, but passed on the cost of the payments by charging the county higher interest rates on the swap transactions, according to the SEC.
"The transactions were complex but the scheme was simple," SEC Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami said in a statement. "Senior JPMorgan bankers made unlawful payments to win business and earn fees."
MacFaddin's attorney, Richard Lawler, said his client "has at all times acted properly" in his dealings with Jefferson County. "He denies he has violated any securities laws and we're confident he'll be vindicated after trial," Lawler said.

Orrin Hatch in Health Care Reform
America, Isn't There A Better Way?
: Orrin Hatch in Health Care Reform on Nov 3, 2009
as a letter to the editor in the Washington Post
His "quote" is posted below my comments.
It's a great thought Mr Hatch.
Everybody knows what shouldn't, couldn't,wouldn't be done.
But what will solve our predicament?
How long should we consult economists on the best way to revive the economy.
Should the constituents just sit on the curb and wait until you geniuses tell us what's left in the pot for us after all of you get through pilfering?
Maybe people would be happier to live in poverty if we put your sentiments in song.
We elected you to "fix these things" what happened?
"...that individuals purchase health insurance an "unprecedented form of federal action." It still is. The Congressional Research Service concluded this year that "it is a novel issue whether Congress may use [the commerce] clause to require an individual to purchase a good or service."
The fact that Massachusetts required health insurance coverage is irrelevant. States may do many things that the federal government may not. Nor is this anything like requiring car insurance, which affects only those who drive and, again, is imposed by the states.
If there is no difference between regulating and requiring, between incentives and mandates, then there was no need for "Cash for Clunkers." Congress could simply have required people to buy certain cars or, for that matter, to invest in certain companies or deposit their paychecks in certain banks. The Constitution does not mean whatever Congress wants it to mean; instead it sets limits on the federal government in order to protect liberty."

The Noble Nicole Kidman RE: Marriage
America, Isn't There A Better Way?
I dont know what the rest of this article was like. But statements like the ones I have chosen to publish here is what America needs more of.
Kudos to the Noble Nicole Kidman. The Article is printed in GQ MAGAZINE.
According to an interview in British GQ, Nicole Kidman Stated:
'You work on it,' she went on...(to say). 'It's a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you're very much out at sea. You're exposed. You could drown.'
'When you commit to someone like that, you live and die together by that decision.'
Asked about her first marriage to Tom Cruise, she stayed mum on their split. 'I want to honour that marriage for what it was, and there is nothing I would go into about that. I have never discussed it and I never will,' the actress said.

America, Isn't There A Better Way?
Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina said people tell her they are frightened of the health care bill to be debated by the House. (RE: CNN Ticker)
FOXX DELIVERS FIRST SPEECH ON HOUSE FLOOR, CALLS FOR MEDICAL MALPRACTICE REFORM http://www.foxx.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=55§iontree=54,55&itemid=67
Quote from Ms. Foxx
"The escalating cost of health care is a major concern "
"Due to an onslaught of frivolous lawsuits, our physicians are being forced to pay exorbitant premiums on their liability insurance. The rates have risen so high that many family practitioners and OB/GYNs are being forced to retire early or simply go out of business. Doctors are refusing to deliver babies or perform surgery because they’re afraid of being sued. This is especially a problem in our rural communities where many doctors are sole practitioners. Just as alarming, our medical school enrollments are on the decline, which will limit the health care available to our future generations."
She seems to say that there is a need for MORE LAWS to restrict citizens' lawsuits.
Lawmakers seem to turn a deaf ear to the fact that INSURANCE PREMIUMS will always go up no matter how many laws you pass against the people who PAY THEM.
What prevents them from exploring REGULATING THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY and MEDICAL CARE COSTS?

Public Option? Health Care Crisis.
America, Isn't There A Better Way?
It is easy for Joe Lieberman to say that we don’t need public healthcare. He has a regular paycheck, insurance and access to the best healthcare.
He also represents a state which prospers from the insurance premiums. According to news reports the majority of insurance firms are based in Connecticut, because of the lax laws they have concerning the liability of insurance companies.
Could it be that the insurance companies and medical corps have bribed the lawmakers out of giving the general public some much needed assistance???
In addition to the legislature having "us the taxpayers" bail out banks and car manufacturers, they have ignored the fact that we "the taxpayers" don’t have jobs, and the banks are still repossessing our homes even though we will be paying their debts through “higher taxes.”
How do the "lawmakers" propose that we afford to pay for day to day necessities much less health insurance?
This is just another example of what is reported everyday about
politicians, who take more than they need while they try to pass laws for rationing what is left of the necessities to the “rest of us”.
The legislatures seem to have no sense of morality, but never-the-less are entrusted to write the laws (to protect society) which they (the lawmakers) seem not to obey nor abide.
