There appears to be a log jam in congress regarding health care reform. The President wants a bill next month. The congress wants to go on vacation. Meanwhile, there are still 47 million people without health care.
People are dying and losing their jobs. There is a ground level experience that the law makers are missing in the equation, and perhaps they don't care. People without insurance are powerless in general.
The insurance lobby and the pharmaceutical industry has tremendous power. Inaction is a good thing. Nothing happens is good for business. The question is: Who profits the most in the health care industry?
In all likelihood, we may not get health care reform. However, the 47 million number may be reduced by 10%. People will continue to lose their jobs and die. We can hope for the best, or we too can lobby and demand results.

Can We Move Past Race, Gender and Orientation?
Pat Buchanan is receiving a great deal of criticism regard his views on Soto mayor a Supreme Court nominee.Affirmative action is at the heart of the argument. This is most disturbing as we try to move forward in a more pluralistic society.
All of the"isms" really stops society from making progress. When we question people about things they cannot change it is inherently unfair. For example, asking why some one breaths air, or why are you so short? Why yare your parents from the north pole?
In conclusion, we can all become more educated on the human condition. We need to focus on job development. Health care is on the table. Our educational systems in our inner cities are war grounds. Sure people will be people, yet we can all become better citizens in the process. Help not Hurt. Learn then make an informed position.

America and The World Needs Jobs
The economy is growing at a slow pace. People needs jobs. Families are really struggling. How can we get out of it. We must buy things in our communities. People need to do things with other people in mind.
The governments of the world are not necessarily the answer to our condition. We must start small businesses. We must develop our skills to become more intelligent about the money we have earned. Our children need a better economic education than our generation.
In conclusion, a new mind-set is in order. The green movement makes sense as long as it doesn't cost too much. We must re-think how we do business. Intelligence goes along way. The smart economy will take fast learners. Yes, America and the world needs jobs and a job to do!

We Need Jobs!
I support the President. I love America. However, I am so concerned about the number of unemployed people. The real concern is for parents of young children without jobs. They need the jobs first.
All dead beat parents should lose their jobs second. All companies who have out sourced jobs must pay a jobs fine. Every out soured job requires two added American jobs. All trade imbalances with nations should be noted and labeled on the product or service.
In conclusion, anyone with 10 million dollars over and beyound their needs should invest in a jobs bank. We need to look out for who simply cannot find work. Perhaps we could develop a recovery program that for every 50 thousand dollars in waste can create a work program for young people. What if we reduced class size and hired more teachers. We need idea. This is just my view.

What The World Needs Now?
The world is in need of change. These are the days when life has gotten smarter and colder. People are suffering each day. I saw some people living under the express-way the other day. I have seen homeless people, but not a village.
Why is it that people fall into such hard conditions? How can the United Nations allow one nation to gain billions of dollars and people are dying of hunger.
Perhaps there is something wrong with education. What change is necessary to make the changes to rid the world of poverty and sickness. A day will come and make things right. I am sicked each day by all acts inhumanity. One day we will learn. What the world needs now is love, sweet love,not for some,but for everyone.

What Is Going On?
The news has been flooded with Micheal Jackson, The Governor of South Carolina, and Health Care are all gaining attention for a number of reasons. The question is: Why is this important if at all?
Clearly the death of Micheal Jackson is big news. Micheal was always controversial. The plastic surgery, the kids,and spending too much money are all under suspicion.He is also in questioned about drugs. Micheal Jackson is and was the greatest pop star with Elvis and James Brown.
Meanwhile, the Gov. Sanford is admitting to numerous affairs and is being asked to resign. He is a complete embarrassment to the republican party. He refused millions of dollars in stimulus money and spoke out against Bill Clinton's affairs. He is pro-gun, pro-life, pro-family,and death penalty. He left his wife, kids, state and blew off everything.He was also thinking about running for president. As long has he stays in office, he will make the republicans look like idiots.
In conclusion, the death of a pop star and the miss steps of a governor has nothing to do with t5he health of the American people. Over 50 million people are without health care. Who cares? The media only wants to sell papers that people are not buying. We need jobs and health care. The rest can do as they wish.
