In 2011 we have a huge spike in ARM's coming due.....watch for another round of bank bailout's. Not sure the FED can fight keeping interest rates down that long. Again it is centered in the same 6 states.

The mellon is coming with the very inexpensive and comprehensive health care. Michelle wants us all to plant our own mellons, using hybrid seeds of course. She is such a wonderful role model. According to Uncle Tom my private insurance premiums for 'one month' will pay for 2 1/2 years of better insurance under his plan. Amazing how he can figure out these things. Get my insurance via my ex employer who was self insuranced, retirees pay double regular employees. Of course cutting off my diabetic medications due to my being over weight (hence elect to be diabetic) saves a bunch of money. Same as not treating heart disease and lung cancer on smokers.
Expectations are needed for valuable old men who are senators like Teddy Kennedy and One Bullet theory Specter who suffer with the big C.
The hypocrisy is what pisses me off the most. Uncle Tom out back with the WH kitchen staff bumming smokes.

Ed, you got it right. There are now 2 huge game breakers in the works.
Cap and trade is a useless tax with 85% of the spoils going to special interests the 1st ten years. Hopefully the Ken Lay of Enron invented scheme is killed in the Senate. Industry that was relocating from Europe to the USA to escape the carbon laws now are diverting to South America and Asia. Louisiana and Alabama both lost steel plants recently.
Health care is a personal issue, this will be a hot one. Sadly Acorn and the unions have a disproportionate amount of power with a community organizer and radical as President. Obama is preaching of 40M uninsured. The number includes about 20M young people, in college or working and electing to not be insured. Illegals who should be on the government welfare and rich people who just pay as they go. The real number is more like 13M and our system provides medical care on demand for them. Tell the same lie enough and it becomes true. I am fully in agreement we need to reduce the costs as a percent of GDP for business to compete and long term sustainability. The tort lawyers who have caused a incredible CYA and malpractice insurance impact, drug companies with patents (R&D to some level paid for by contributions and tax money), medical institutions who get the short end as they must provide care, huge insurance industry which likes price fixing and not competition and finally the government who is already involved and screwing up the system will fight to the death for more power. The other often repeated lie is that you can keep what you have. It is not in my power to make the decision, I suspect many corporations are waiting for an excuse to dump their benefit programs and keep the money (really a form of compensation to employees) for executive bonuses.
The best we can hope for is a step forward, the worse and more likely is a government run ineffective and high cost system that reduces freedom.
My wife a RN resists going back to work, 30 plus years of being treated by patients that they were in the Hilton and overload by administration took it's toll. She was always a floor RN on Med/Surg. She thinks the ACORN types will be yelling the loudest when rationing becomes apparent. Hospital is a social event for much of the minority 'community' around here.
Cork...I am finally on a wellness plan.
