I'm not profiting. Why can't I be saved?

We can invest in them and hope they have a great bottom line.

Yes. Balta is known to scream quite often.

If I'm not mistaken, this free software will allow me to also use my laptop as an e-reader. Or am I mistaken?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 29, 2010 -> 08:31 AM) I've pointed out many times before, and have been ignored many times before, that this bill was merely a reform on insurance, but not the industry as a whole. Once again, the hospitals/doctors send the bills to the insurance companies, not the other way around. If you're not going to bother reforming hospitals and how costs are calculated, applied, and what have you, then reforming insurance will do nothing to lower the bills being sent. Therein lies the problem. While vilifying the insurance companies, and trust me in many ways they need to be, they've given a free pass to the rest of the industry, including pharma, doctors, hospitals, etc. In the end, this equates to insurance companies going out of business due to new restrictions/mandates while the bills they receive remain the same or higher. The government, in turn, would have to increase it's subsidies (and thus control), but it does nothing to save money. The money is just going to/coming from another place. Congratulations, you've successfully saved people 3000$+ a year on insurance costs they no longer have to pay, while simultaneously raising their taxes 3000$+ in various ways so the government can subsidize the cost. In the end, the people gained nothing, the bills from the hospitals remained the same, the insurance companies disappear, and the government pays -- only the government can't just pay with magical fairy money fresh off the printing press, so your taxes increase, be it soda, liquor, coffee, water, sales, internet fees, taxes, they'll all be rising in order to cover this. How is that exactly?

LOL. How are you on their mailing list?

Yeah

Only works on the desktop? I also read that you can name it anything instead of "GodMode". Will try this when I get home. Don't have 7 at work.

I thought we had to keep him otherwise the markets would crash. They don't look very good anyway.

Greenwald articulates it it better than I could...

Politicians routinely call out the SCOTUS. Just think of Roe v Wade as a perfect example. The SCOTUS is supposed to an independent, apolitcal branch of government.
