The Constitution, Federalist Papers & Health Care

[Arcornia]

I find the intersting thing about Bush is that after all these arguements I hear about him, they either have a simple explaination, or Obama has done worse.
The debt? Well Obama has done just as much as Bush did in a whole 8 years.
Iraq? We were opperating under false information, we would never invade a country just becasue we felt like it.
Katrina? The governor of LA refused federal help because she thought it would slow things down.
9/11? Well I'd like to see one of you critizers try to do better, remeber, we invaded Afghanistan right shortly thereafter.
Stupid? Well I think Obama has beat him out on that.
Speach impedement? I thought you guys believed in fairness.
Go ahead and hit me with another one, try me

Actually, Bush did much more than Obama in one year. The US was supposed to have a surplus by 2002, thanks to Clinton. Instead, Bush brought deficits. The Obama deficit was caused by him cleaning up after the crisis - which was caused by Bush. I can debate this in more detail later.
Iraq - Why not Iran or North Korea?
9/11 - When Clinton bombed Afghanistan around '98 to try to eliminate possible terrorists threats, you guys all shouted it's a distraction from the Monica Lewinski case. The intelligence was there. Afterwards, instead of making his stand very clear and threatning to bomb the area where Bin Laden was hiding if he was not given to them, he dragged us into a 9 year war which — For at least the first half of it — just strengthened Al-Qaeda.
Stupid - Err lets not go there. Obama is an extremely smart man, Bush is one of the least intelligent presidents ever.

First things first, I'm not a PETA activist. I think some of them are so extreme they are terrorists to me.

But I believe that videos depicting animal cruelty, such as people stomping on cats, should not be made available for sale. Today, the US Supreme Court overturned the federal ban on these videos:

Another classic case of the uniquely American "fetish" with their Constitution. That kind of court decision makes completely no sense to me.

1st, the ban was too broad. If the ban was more specific, SCOTUS may have upheld it. Look at child porn... it's specific enough to ban. SCOTUS said the law could be used to prohibit videos from hunting. Chief Justice Roberts said that he's not going to uphold a law just because the government promises to be responsible with the law.

B, There's tons of sexual fetish videos that don't make sense to me why they are available... many of which are quite disgusting. Why should these be allowed too?

And quattro, free speech isn't absolute, but the free speech is meant to protect unpopular stuff. Without it, we can be thrown in jail for disagreeing with the government or doing something that isn't necessarily illegal but goes against what the government wants. I'm not excusing those videos, but beware of banning things just because they are unpopular.

No love for the Articles of Confederation?

Come on man, it was our first constitution.

I remember Hearing Part of Obamas plan to Bring in public Health care to USA. A large part to a Mal Practice and Fraudulent Claims The Office of Management and Budget reported that $54 billion in "improper payments" were made to Medicare ($24B), Medicaid ($18B) and Medicaid Advantage ($12B) during FY 2009. Thats 108 billion Dollars If properly Cleaned up and Taken Care of.

I personally live in Canada Where we already have government provided personal health care. The benefits of it are great, As long as you have your Health care card on you Any hospital will take you or clinic and most drugs are covered. We also have Health care and dental options provided by employers for a fee sometimes. With A lot of people in your country who Cant Afford any form of Health Care is it Fair to turn them down at the hospital because they are not covered for that medical emergency or Even with a form of health care to be turned down at the hospital because your health care did not cover the medical emergency you are facing.

I would Look toward's the benefits of this Subject before you start complaining that you might get hit in the pocket a bit.

Obamas Plan was projected to be a long term plan For it to pan out. It would Take time to clear up any existing problems with Mal practice and fraudulent Claims or any other form they choose to Help cover the cost.
