I am unsure of how it all works out...but I think the retreat of the dollar was engineered for this very reason.
Retirees in the future might be getting a similar amount, but it won't keep up with a normal COLAs.

He has been having town hall meetings too.

Interestingly enough, he doesn't accept his congressional health care benefit.
Actually the college model is already hybridized.
Public options for education are Junior Colleges and State Universities. And probably make
private Universities better.
What's the better school, UB or Canisius? Probably depends on the student and needs.
Though this email is probably fiction...it would be ironic if the prof taught at The Ohio State University.
(that's without even talking about that commie loan program...Stafford)
Good post. Stimulus (like cash for clunkers etc. ....$8000 home rebate etc. ) is really just spending a lot of money to move demand forward. It is a recovery package.
Most of the country doesn't realize the stimulus probably just saved 10-20% of their teaching staff for their kids schools without raising local taxes. It is hard to look at something like that and say it worked when it looks like there has been no change.
I can't say I disagree....(geez it's too big for me)...but tort reform is by definition a type of regulation.
I really don't see the Obama initiative going anywhere at this point...but the country will probably try it again every 10 years.
The guy who would know would probably be Henry Waxman...he authored all the California caps on non-economic damage.
Actually, as much as this has turned into a liberal/conservative wrastling match....I don't think there is a well defined
position in either party.
Wouldn't lower medical liability premiums hurt insurance companies?
Or is this liberals attacking profit again?
Do you really think Tort reform is at the heart of it all?
I thought insurance companies took Malpractice Premiums and invested them...which is a big source of income for them.
Could tort reform actually hurt insurance profits...and thereby not create dynamic for lower premiums (Texas is much discussed here)...and not really get rid of all the unnecessary tests defensive doctors seem to love either.
Just wondering if there is any evidence that Tort reform has lowered premiums and made health care more accessible?
I've seen the comparison made more than once this week....which If I can remember correctly...
there have been tons of town hall meetings all over the country on HR 3200
I can't remember any town hall meetings on the Senate Resolution to Authorize Military Force Against Iraq in 2002.
I don't think there was one. (not even Sen. Clinton).
My point was just that most Americans at least tacitly support more than one....
