Exactly! I think the "laying off people" is the first step.

This all fits in with the slime's desire for total socialism.

Does Edwards work for China or something? It sounds like everything he is doing is designed to screw US businesses.

Popular destitution under extreme taxation and a crushing regulatory burden will mark our future—and it’s coming soon. The policies of the next Administration include socialized medicine, much higher taxes, menacing Islamofascist terrorists undeterred by our unfunded and therefore bullet-less troops, a decrease in the food supply to distill ethanol, drastic fuel rationing, massive wage deflation amid price inflation, rapid implosion of those sectors of the economy that emit carbon dioxide, and regular semi-permanent destruction of our electricity supply. And those are just the direct intended consequences of their proposals.

I’m at a loss as to how best to prepare. Right now I’m just trying to live simply and to save money as quickly as possible so that I might have the resources to weather the severe deprivations that most American Democrats apparently deeply desire. Although alive during the waning months of the Carter Administration, I stupidly don’t remember any of it. But the future looks increasingly bleak with each passing week by the polled desires of the American people, who apparently yearn for malaise, melancholy, and misery. And they will get those yearning desires under the Distinguished Junior Senator to the Great State of New York and Next President of the United States of America Her Most Extremely Excellent Elite Exalted Eminence Hillary Rodham Clinton—all glory, laud, honor, and praise be upon her for she is Democrat!

I want health care for everyone... John Edwards should pay for it.

No applause, really, I'm just a humanitarian.

The Breck Girl hasn't thought it through.

Sure he's thought it through. What better way to increase the number of social programs than thru unemployment. The more the unemployed the better chance for more government control.

Yeah Breck Girl, you’ve been fighting them your whole life, and having to constantly defend themselves against mendacious ankle-biting ambulance-chasers such as yourself is a major reason health care is so expensive in America!!!

I have a very simple question. Did tax receipts FALL after the Bush Tax Cuts went into effect, or did they increase?
Since we had a $2.2 Trillion Budget six years ago with a $350 Billion deficit, and we now have a $2.9 Trillion Budget with a $200 Billion deficit, I can’t seem to make the numbers jive. Shouldn’t we now have a deficit in the range of $850 Billion to “make up” the cost of giving the evil rich a tax break??????
By the same token, when the Clinton Retroactive Tax increases went into effect as of January 1, 1993, shouldn’t the 1994 Budget have been in balance? As I recall, the (fake) balanced budget didn’t appear until 1998.
Fellow Freepers, PLEASE help me get my brain around this.

Sorry, that won’t work...after all, the Democrats believe that the Second Amendment means “the state police” when it says “the people” and that guns therefore should be prohibited to persons not engaged in criminal activity. So they’ll take our guns. We also can’t shoot our way into prosperity, just as we can’t tax or spend our way into prosperity.

What ever happened to a simple Major Medical policy that each individual could carry? Pay as you go on the regular medical needs. This would go far by cutting out the middle man in most instances as the cost of profits to the Insurance Companies would not have to be factored in to the overall cost of ones health care. The employers could increase wages to his personnel which could be applied to the policy payment. This would reduce the overall cost of health care. For the record I do not accept the phrase of “our Health Care System” except for VA, Medicare, etc.

You know, I think you are right. Russia has become more free, and we’ve in many ways developed a low-calorie, low-fat version of Stalinism....

It’s called compassion. Of course, you can’t be compassionate when you steal someone else’s money to give to a third person, but hey, that’s the Democrat Party Platform. Can’t worry about that old piece of paper called the Constitution when you have a Political Party to run.
