Well were talking about a august dead line on raising the debt limits do you think that's going to work? Well I think we have to wait and see what they might do we have health care we have the debt limits health care reform gas prices food prices aren't any better unemployment isn't better in some areas others mean the jobs are here but not as plentiful in other areas but there are not enough still foreclosures are still happening some say we still might be in this recession and it could send us into a bigger recession all this money has went into the system who by all rights have seen any of it parts of the country have foreclosures are still on the rise well some grants are out there you apply for them so do others not to long before the money is gone were still looking for a way of survival do they really think we have came out of it so far that things still look bleak for anybody is we all talk about the animals we have then we have those that nobody can raise the ones that have to be rescued because they couldn't feed them anymore they can't even take care of themselves so they end up turning the dog or cat over to human society and alot their trying to find owners or a new home for this doggy or kitty or any other animal that needs adopted then sometimes we for get how to take care of yourself so you really got to wait to see what you have to get once you loose everything and have to get things back again Do we really think the recession is still here what percentage would you say we are thru it

10 months ago: The republicans seem determined to destroy the economy with their threats to not extend the debt limit, and with their austerity programs that cut jobs and help for the poor.

But the rich are doing well and the stock market rallied on better job news. They are betting that things will get better. http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-2011...

If there was any real danger of our defaulting on our debt for the first time, I think Wall Street would be freaking out, but Wall Street owns the Republican party so I think they will force them to be rational. The question is can they convince the whacky Tea Party to do what is best for the country or will they throw us into another Great Depression? They don't know much when it comes to actually governing.

On the positive side for the first time ever we now have research that proves that providing health care to everyone as is scheduled for 2014 unless the Republicans screw it up, will result in better economic security, peace of mind and better health. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/07/health...

On the negative side, because Obamacare doesn't really go into effect until 2014, the Health Insurance industries are able to screw the American public for another 3 years. http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/07...

Instead of giving billions to the Insurance Industry we should have eliminated them altogether and allowed everyone to have Medicare. Half the cost, and no new bureaucracy. It would have eliminated the 30% profits and 27% of the administrative costs.

At least Vermont is going for single payer. When other states see how much cheaper it is, they will adopt the same strategy. Course those in the Red states will probably take 50 years to make the rational choice because they will adhere to ideology over facts every time.
