3) Like it or not, without Fed regulations things would be really screwed up.
4) If you want the Gov out of our lives. Go talk to the people that fucked it up. Not the man trying to correct it.
5) Obama's plan doesn't call for the creation of a NEW gov ran health care system, the Gov already has several to choose from, it's expanding... on the one that works really well already because they regulate the cost. It's an amazing system, you should get a Gov Job and try it out.
6) I don't think Man Made Global Warming is Real either.. I damn well know the earth is going to warm up, madly... but it isn't Humans doing it.
7) I don't like Cap and Trade.. But, the end result of this cap and trade has a greater chance of forcing us to alt fuel sources. So it's all in how you look at it.
8) But I do agree with Gov provided health care that Americans can use if they need it.

1) Obama signs off on the bills showing his support... He does have the right to veto.
2) What corps are you talking about? Any sane economist will tell you that the housing bust was due to government regulation, not the hype about "Greedy Wallstreet". The government forced risky mortgages on lenders, just do your homework and read some reliable information from an economist. I recommend Dr. Thomas Sowell's 43rd book, "The Housing Boom and Bust."
3) Some regulations of course but there's a line that needs to be drawn and this country flourished before all this regulation, large government, and taxation came into play. It's what made this country great and pushed us from an English settlement to the greatest nation in the world (in my opinion).
4) The man is not correcting it, he's making it worse...
5) Yes it does call for a NEW system and that NEW system will be made to compete with the private sector... in fact it imposes additional taxes on people who seek private healthcare... Have you even read the bill?!
6) My point was it's not warming, it's cooling... for the past 10 years. 31,000 American Scientists agree.
7) Don't talk to me about understanding freedom on one hand and then tell me, "greater chance of forcing us to alt fuel sources"... That implies you think it's the US Government's right to force everyone to use alternative fuel sources under the guise of protecting us against a non existent threat. That's not freedom, no part of supporting "force" is free.
8) It's not _free_, that's the problem... tax payers bear the burden in the form of additional taxes. This healthcare reform bill hikes up fed taxes for families making over $350,000 annually to at least 45%... it's currently capped at 35%. That's 10% of the money they've earned. You think that's fair?! I call that Robin Hood tactics. The government doesn't have the right to redistribute wealth in the country, that's a socialist ideal and something this country was founded against.
