We're way past the government simply mining continually for additional revenue to fund itself; With the deficit in the trillions IMO we're talking about a push to once and for all place citizens now and into the future into permanent lifelong servitude in repayment for debt.

    What makes you think they are going to pass a health care bill ? I would be very surprised to see it happen.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    My plan: I'm studying international business and German/Russian right now, so I for one am moving to Europe. Liberal policy and health care that works. Fingers crossed on Sweden or Denmark...

    Scandinavian countries score pretty high on QoL indices. But have you seen the price of beer there?!

    The trick in Scandinavian countries is to take a ferry to go on a "booze cruise"

    Taxes in Denmark are quite high, especially the tax to put a car on the road. There are, of course, tricks to get around this... they do have nice Audi TT "pickups" there.

    I'll bet the Senate bill that is going to be voted on very shortly will pass. It has no public option

    The house bill has undergone so many changes - merged with other bills, amended and amended and amended - I would not be surprised if it passes on the merit of pet-legislation that has been included
