Health Care Reform

Regardless of how you feel about the current health care reform legislation, how do you feel about one party having control of all three branches of government?

Right now, Mr. Obama has a monopoly on the legislative process, the executive as well as the judicial. How long do you think the electorate will allow this to go on? If it is one thing we have seen in the past, one party control of our government is not good for the economy. Healthcare reform is one of those that would not be good for the economy or the general health of our population. When most anything is socialized that has been a part of the "free market" system, we generally see a decline in the ability of the system to sustain at its current level, e.g. decline in quality of the product and quality of the training for people in that industry. If this gets ramrodded through, what would your predictions be?

STATISTICAL IRONY

We are constantly bombarded by "statistics" from politicians. How many of you out there take what politicians share with us as truthful? Before answering please consider first the possible motive (s) for them sharing the statistics in the first place. My question comes from the declaration of President Obama that the stimulus package is working. I am sure he used statistics to justify such a declaration. So what are the motives one has when throwing statistics around?
