Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul brought up the law in response to a Priorities USA ad in which a steelworker connects his unemployment -- and resulting lack of health insurance -- to the death of his wife. "If people had been in Massachusetts, under Gov. Romney's health care plan, they would have had health care," Saul said.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-82325411351276841612012-08-08T18:53:54.780-05:002012-08-08T18:53:54.780-05:00Dale,you may be right I have no idea where those c...Dale,you may be right I have no idea where those cartoons came from.<br /><br />You've got to undrestand context..This morning Walter Williams got under my skin and I retaliated ...:-) The post had nothing to do with my favorite libertarian,Dale Zuck....And if we can't laugh then what good is a dialogue?<br /><br />I'm having VA forum withdrawals ...:-)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-31811545656588387622012-08-08T18:43:30.817-05:002012-08-08T18:43:30.817-05:00Born

And if you can find where he did; I'll be more glad to apologize for not agreeing with your astute interpretation.<br /><br />I don't really care about personal stories per say but I know a lot of individuals like myself who thanks all those who has helped us throughout the years. I didn't do anything by myself, because I had great public teachers, used the public libraries and public schools and after serving in the military ,I then used some elements of the GI bill. I appreciate that my tax dollars goes to public servants like policeman, firemen, teachers and to repair the infrastructure and I'm more than happy to continue the cycle for those behind me.<br /> <br />Others can pat themselves on the back and say they went at it alone but a lot us know better.

I really wish I could write a VA blog titled " Article 1 Section 8,general welfare clause" and be able to challenge those who take a a view different than mine..<br /><br />People seem to think that we only have a Hamiltonian view(Congress has no limited power) or a Madisonian view (Congress has very limited power) .. President James Monroe came out with a more moderate tiebreaker saying it it could not be a redistribution of wealth strictly for the benefit of local or regional interests; it had to accomplish some legitimate national interest. To be more concrete, For example,Congress declined to fund the dredging of the Savannah River but approved an appropriation for a lighthouse at the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay: The latter was valid because it benefited coastal trade for the nation, the former invalid because it would solely benefit Georgia and South Carolina..... Homeland Security,the EPA,FBI, and the IRS are agencies with a legitimate national interest.<br /><br />I have little tolerance for those who try to tell me what the founders meant when in reality they were all over the map..Madison,Jefferson and Hamilton are just 3 examples of some who had some very heated arguments.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-61765527457519339862012-08-08T12:57:29.751-05:002012-08-08T12:57:29.751-05:00If we can get enough "unverified" posts,...If we can get enough "unverified" posts, maybe they will take off.
