The reason this is laughable is that it's an obvious (and lame) smokescreen to try and make the administration "look" financially responsible, while ramming through items that cost factors of magnitude more. It's like paying for a mouse at a pet store to hide shoplifting the elephant out the back door. Save $500K printing on both sides of the paper? Come on! How will that be enforced. How can they prove they actually saved the money? And how many email addresses does the Navy have out their that they can save $5 million by deleting the unused ones?

If he truly wanted to look fically responsible, he would have asked for $1 billion or $10 billion in cuts. I could probably save $10 billion out of the budget just by throwing...

My mother was one of those 1 in 1904, and would have been dead at age 44 without regular mammograms. My mother-in-law was diagnosed at 47. I couldn't give a rat's hind quarter if an extra year (or in my mother's case 18 years) cost a half million dollars. If I have the money, or pay for the insurance that covers it, it's no one else's business, not the government, not Steve Chapman, nobody. The point is, no one should be telling you how you should receive your health care, NO ONE! Especially not some bean counting accountant doing a cost benefit analysis on your life.

While the money may have done a great thing, it's a bad precedent. If giving $15 billion in tax money for AIDS in Africa fulfills some altruistic need of GW Bush's, how can a conservative who agrees with that object to anything our current President wants to do, because he thinks it's the "right" thing to do.

If Bush had been less altruistic with other people's money and more focused on allowing the citizens he worked for to retain more of their own labors (through SS reform, no Medicare Drug act, etc), many of us would be in a position to give more of ourselves and our own money to causes such as this.

Yes, there is already a plan in place

But they want new births, or else who will be left to pay the taxes to pay off ObamaCare?

Can you imagine if GWB went out and had, say, Donald Rumsfeld ask for Americans to report disinformation on the war on terror, or called Code Pink et al organized mobs trying to ruin the Democratic process? They'd be screaming from the rooftop of the NY Times building.

Proud member of the unruly, Nazi-inspired, racist, Brooks Brothers Mob! Maybe we can get our own HBO show!

It's typical organizing tactics, marginalize your opponent as unpatriotic/crazy/violent/nazi, so you can easily discount their ideas without actually having to debate and logically refute them. It's the adult equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and shout 'Na-na-na-na, I'm not listening! Na-na-na!'


I hope I get reported.

I need to call Obama and get that doc's number. I have tonsilitis pretty much every year for a week or two, and have never been able to find a doc that will do a tonsillectomy on an adult (I guess they just don't really need the money). :)

Here is the perfect solution.

Oops, think that just got me on the ObamaQuisition black list!
