		<description>&lt;p&gt;dearest oldnslow, I too am a lurker, but after your response had to say how much I appreciate what you said.  Those With often have no concept of how their With came into existence!  As far as many of us are concerned, torgo2009 and his/her sense of entitlement can go jump off a cliff.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I wonder what the total ‘take’ is for corporations on the dole.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If we weren’t in a recession it would be time to look at eliminating a bunch of those. Maybe late next year we can look at some with an eye toward tax reform.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Romney wrote:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Reform of our health care system can be accomplished by strengthening the private insurance system, as we did in Massachusetts when I was Governor. Strip away burdensome regulations to get the cost of insurance policies down. Take some of the taxpayer money we’re now spending on free care and use it to help buy insurance for the needy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Strengthening the private insurance system” would be great and the reform bill does some of that. Unfortunately that doesn’t make it cheaper or force them to insure everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m not sure what “burdensome regulations” there are, but the reform bill changes some things which should bring down costs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We already take taxpayers dollars to help pay for the poor. But, it’s not the cheapest kind of care, so the reform bill will pay for more community health clinics, more doctors &amp; nurses and subsidies to the poor to get regular insurance (instead of ER-care).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wrong! It’s the ONE entitlement every human has.&lt;/p&gt;
