Obama is pushing his health care plan hard ,He wants everybody to have health insurance.I dont see how youare going to force anybody to buy health insurance if they have no money and no job.Any way you figure it the public is going to have to pay the bill, by forcing companies to supply health insurance to their workers the cost is going to have to be added to the goods you buy and the services you use and that still dosnt do anything for the people that dont have the resourses to buy the insurance. The only way we are going to have everybody covered is by the government guarateeing everybody free health care and then figure out A way to pay for it,Either by raising our tax rates or putting A heavy duty on imports. We have 12 million illegal emigrants in the country and more coming in every day that we will also be paying for,So we better put more effort into keeping them from coming in. We are constantly sending money and food to the poorer countries where the people cant seem to feed themselves,And missionaries are constantly going over there to try and save the starving children. What we should be doing over there is teaching them how not to have those children that they cant take care of. My opinion by John Zilverberg

card check

I see where the unions are realy putting on the pressure to pass their card check bill which would in effect force everybody to vote for the unions or face the consaquenses which could be serious as has happened in the past.The secret ballot is the only fair way to have A vote. That way nobody can target you because of the way you voted.Obama has made his trip to the middle east and talked to the saudies and the Arabs which some people were against. But I dont think he did any harm.In fact he may have done some good.I never felt it was wrong to talk to people you disagree with. If they will talk to you.If you dont talk to them how are you ever settle your disagreements except by going to war and killing A lot of people. Just because you talk to them you dont have to let them take advantage of you. If you walk around with A gun in your hand and A chip on your shoulder you are bound to get into trouble. I see Baltimore is working on A plan to cancel A lot of mortages forclosures That is letting A lot of people keep their homes which is what the federal govenment should have done in the first place instead of bailing out all the big financial institutions.By bailing the people out they could have kept their homes and when they paid the financial institutions they would have gotten the money in the end.That way the money would be doing double duty and the housing industry would have gotten A lot of benefit from it.
