It's compassionate to increase taxes. We're having a holocaust each and every day because we cannot pass healthcare tax increases and reduce the incentive for actual advances in medical care. Such a savage people we are. Below link is to Cato's analysis on CBO report on the Baucus bill. The reason the bill is deficit neutral is because it raises taxes by 40% many healthcare plans.

The independents are abandoning the democratic party faster than expected. GOP now has 9 point lead over Dems among Indy's on who they're more likely to vote for in 2010 midterm.

Sen. Feingold challenges Admin. on Czars
Finally, a legit challenge from a democrat legislator on Obama's usurping of legislative power.
Sen. Feingold of Wisconsin holds a hearing questioning the President's unchecked expansion of the executive branch and consequential tipping of the tenuous balance of power at the federal level. A true liberal is not a bad thing, an opportunistic one like the vast majority in Congress who are overtly committed to the advancement of their party at the financial and political expense of the voters are.

Homecoming King to National Office: A Small Step Indeed
Did you really care about who was class president or homecoming king/queen? I sure didn't, and certainly would not base my judgment of a person based on such titles. If anything, you have to wonder about the type of person who would even allow themselves to be nominated for such a meaningless victory, where the only reward is a healthy dose of self-indulged and delusional popularity. To succeed in one's academic career, it takes a whole lot more than a popularity contest decided by indifferent, possibly intoxicated voters.
Oh wait, that's exactly how we've been deciding political elections for well over a century now.
In fact, I have little doubt a national random sample of homecoming king/queens would have done less damage to the financial security of our dear land than the past 20 or so Congresses. For the finance and budget committee chairs, lets have a couple of randomly selected high school accounting club member. Surely they would have a better grasp of simple to understand concepts such as balanced budgets and the inherent flaws of baseline budgeting.
I'd suggest a chess club champion for the senate intelligence chair. Rest assured, such a analytical mind would make better use of the pieces allotted to him, without leaning on constant funding hikes to stay ahead of the dark side.
Has anyone noticed how Yes We Can has turned into no, you really, really shouldn't. The thrill of electing a popular class President fades fast when the winner fails to take down the banners and posters from the halls. It's no small wonder why no one bothers to vote one election day anymore; who can remember which day is election day when Presidents never stop campaigning. Perhaps a national lottery would put a stop to this, simply have the winner occupy the Oval Office for a year with the original limitations set forth by the framers. What harm could he/she do? Statically, every ethnic group would have a "fair" chance of being represented; surely that's the aim of "social justice" right?
