    LIC V. Low Max

    I don't know-- I trade LIC, seemed like too much of a mish mash to me. And, I only like Low Max as a step workout, but it is fun for that purpose.

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    And, lets remember that bill Gates has actually contributed something worthwhile to the economy while many millionaires working in the financial industry have created nothing of value-- nothing that truly makes our economy better! Ummm.. I really do think bringing up the war is valid. besides...

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    It is a little disingenuous for politicians to suddenly be concerned with deficits when they had no problems with deficits incurred by the war and Bush's tax cuts. Oh, and Bush did not even include the cost of the war in his budget! Very creative accounting!

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    What third world country are you worried about becoming? Switzerland? Canada? France? Actually, third world countries do not provide services, but you can find some of the richest people (and most corrupt) in the world in them. yeah-- we're heading more toward a third world country in that...

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    I'm sorry you feel that way. My take is a little different. We owe taxes every year despite the fact that we claim no exemptions and make hefty contributions to retirement accounts. Our house does not provide much tax relief as we refinanced to a low interest 15 year mortgage about five years...

    The Crazy Cat Lady and the animal shelter....

    I understand and don't know what to say. I am so fortunate because our cat shelter is the type of place you go to and don't worry about the cats too much-- most are running around free unless they are on some antibiotics. Just bite the bullet and be happy you are helping one cat is the best...

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    What business would you like to run things? General Motors? Chrysler/Dodge? Goldman Sachs? Enron? Halliburton? Yes, businesses are so much more efficient and don't waste money (and never take government money)

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    Social Security-- actually in better shape than a lot of other programs, and would be solvent for much longer than predicted (I think the projections now are that it is solvent for only about ten years into future) if Reagan had not started raiding the social security funds to plug other holes...

    Non-video fitness activities for getting in shape?

    Ah, spring and summer-- love it-- so great to get outdoors. In fact, my main inspiration for carrying on video workouts in the dead of winter is so that I will maintain fitness for outdoor activities. I loooove hiking-- our summer vacations are usually based on hiking. Tennis is so fun. I pretty...

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    Oh-- and I wanted to say, for the case of the Shriner hospital. Yes, the care was good-- but if charities are the way to go why just one Shriner hospital? Why isn't this model used for all hospitals? Do you think this is feasible?

    (Please don't flame me) Question on the health ins

    I am going to have to respectfully disagree with the poster who said that charities are best for taking care of the sick and the poor. Charities are not an efficient or effective answer for uninsured individuals. Did you know that hospitals that are non profits are required to provide care to...

    Payroll tax question

    Hi, Well, Obama, as part of the Federal stimulus bill reduced payroll taxes for this year, but I don't think they should have gone down by half-- that seems a bit much.
