1. Okay. Government SHOULD be paying less.

Regulating the market and making corporate greed illegal rather than rewarded would be a step in the right direction...

2. Or the what, $300 billion for a war based on lies?

4. Gotta love this gem

From the posted article: Under federal rules, a family of four can earn as much as $40,000 a year in most states and still get government health insurance for children.

As if 40k a year is riches for a family of four! :crazy:
