I don't expect him to stop everything I don't agree with. Then again, if I was him, I wouldn't veto everything either. No reason to put my life in danger if I actually want to help.

Not sure what the Marine Corps has to do with this. Last I checked you didn't have to be an economist to get into the Marines.
We jump to the housing bubble now? The housing industry isn't regulated. Not sure what that Doctor's 43rd Book says, but it sounds like he should quit.
And which Gov is this, Bush? Or Goldman Sachs? I thought we were talking about Obama?

Without regulation, every Americans life would be total hell today, living in waste waters, chemicals in everything, foods, kids toys, cars, waste, everything would be... like China.
I will gladly take the Regulation we have.. It's exactly how our Gov was setup to run.

That's called an opinion. That clearly not everyone agrees with. I see things getting better all around me, every day. I don't see "everything" getting better, but lots of things are.

Yep.. clearly they are going off the already regulated system that competes with the private sector now. He has said that, they have talked about it, it's really clear.
Yep, I know what it does tax wise. I lived in Canada for two years and paid the taxes and they have private insurance too.

What does it matter if it has been cooling for the last 10 years? It's going to warm back up, without question.
It's just not humans doing it.

That's not freedom, no part of supporting "force" is free.

No, I'm down here in with reality. The one that says, we aren't going to change, things haven't changed, and will never change... until something extreme is introduced.
And what are the freedom of choice we have now? Last time I checked, being "forced" to pay prices that our Gov has no Control over is anything but freedom.

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.

I think you mean 1% - 5% surtax people will pay, depending on factors. The top overall tax rate is 45% for people over 1 million.
And it will tax Companies that earn over 400k a year if they don't provide a decent Insurance solution. Don't forget that.
I accept the truth that without Social Gov Funded Programs our Country wouldn't be worth living in. I don't dream of a world without Taxes because that world would suck ass.
And I have no problem paying more taxes for health care, I did it in Canada and would gladly do it for my fellow Americans.
