Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


And then will come his heavy lifting. He has yet to raise taxes, regiment health care or provide amnesty for illegal immigrants. He hasn't closed down the car companies he now runs, and he has not yet forced a 50-percent hike in utility bills with his cap and trade legislation. These are all the goodies he has in store for us all.

Obama's very activism these days arrogates to himself the blame for the success or failure of his policies. Their outcome will determine his outcome, and there is no way it will be positive.

Why?

A) You can't borrow as much as he will need to without raising interest rates, which hurts the economy.

B) The massive amount of spending will trigger runaway inflation once the economy starts to recover.

C) His overhaul of the tax code (still in the planning phases) and his intervention in corporate management will create such business uncertainty that nobody will invest in anything until they see the lay of the land.

D) His bank program is designed to help banks, but not to catalyze consumer lending. And his proposal for securitization of consumer loans won't work and is just what got us into this situation.

So, Mr. Obama should enjoy his poll numbers while he can.

Karen in LA
Absolutely! I returned for a high school reunion in '07, and it felt good to be "home" after being away for so long. No matter where I've lived, ND has always been "home". It's clean, fresh and friendly - although it has changed a little bit. Had a great time re-connecting with old friends and high school buddies.

I'm probably signing off this thread, but hope to catch up with you down the line. May check back once more though. Are you in L.A. or Louisiana?

Best to you.
