So it is going to be different for different people, but ive found in my own travels and experience their, it remains a very, powerful and deep emotion. I do not think there is any doubt about that at all. In an american context we know that the First Amendment to the u. S. Constitution lays out a certain set of principles of freedom. Togress cannot do anything abridge our freedom of religion, speech, press, the right to peaceably assemble, to petition our government for redress of grievances. They are laid out there, and they are large concepts. They are the underpinning, really, for the society. They have been described as godgiven. Im wondering if you share that view. Gosh, i confess i have never whetherabout, you know, they are godgiven, but again, when i think of our own society i will give you the journalistic response. Thats a duck. No, it is because i am not a philosopher. Tellays, when ever people me chinas stealing our secrets, ook, iwer always is, l dont encourage industrial
First, all Government Spending ends on september 30. And that literally means if therethere is not a compromise reached, the entire federal government would shut down. A place like this that means like every civilian job like Tinker Air Force base, it means the district has four veteran centers your they wouldnt be open. Veterans hospital closed down. The National Weather center that give us as much warning as you can give anybody about the tornadoes wouldnt be operating. So thats a pretty contentious issue. Well also had the National Debt ceiling sometime probably in midnovember. That creates not a Government Shutdown scenario but if you dont find a way to resolve it, sort of a, across the board 35 cut in all Government Agencies because you couldnt finance government. And, finally, the immigration issue has been very contentious issue. The senate has passed a bill. Its not likely to be a bill that the house will pass. The house has passed for smaller goes through committee, through ju
A question. Actually two questions. One, the portability aspect of new slegs legislation, how much does it conflict with state level Health Insurance and state level mandates that differ, of course, widely . How do you reconcile the provision that we have Health Coverage, all of it has a 10th amendment contest really. We stipulate that anybody that has a nexus for their Health Coverage with the federal government, then thats where it applies. So for example if our individual membership associations which would have a nexus with the federal government because it allows paur cross state lines, they would be able to own that. Individuals who are in any erisa plan, they would be able to own that. So it gets to that by making certain that everybody has a nexus with the federal overnment. One more quick question. I think weve seen how much patients and prospective patients are resistant to the law. Looking at the damages, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, clinics, how much pushback is Congress Hea
Thought the most important story was the reaction of the death of a Petty Street Criminal and it was most reported but not close to a story that is rocking your world and you probably didnt feel the tremor. The International Monetary fund revealed that chinas economy surpassed that of the United States and now china is now the Worlds Largest economy. They reported on this story and it could should have caused demonstrations in our streets. We are losing our country and no one seems to notice. Less than 15 years ago, the u. S. Economy was three types the size of china. And americans since 1945 have grown used to having the number one economy and must have taken it for granted. Get ready to the new ranking or get angry and well do something
about it. Our current president said running up the huge debt on children and dprand children was irresponsible and unpatriotic. If so, he is the least patriotic president in history. Our debt topped the 18 trillion mark. That is more than double than
The death of a petty street criminal at the hands of new york place and the lack of charges filed for his death. It may have been the most talked about story and the most reported. But not even close to a story that is rocking your world and you probably didnt even feel the tremor. This week the International Monetary funding has stir passed that of the United States and china is now the Worlds Largest economy. Were losing our country, and no one seems to even notice. Less than 15 years ago, the u. S. Economy was three times the size of china. America is used to having the number one economy in the world and was just taking it for granted. Our current president once said that running up a huge debt on the backs of our children and grandchildren was irresponsible and unpatriotic, if so e, hes officially now the least patriotic president in history.
