Sen Murkowski, there is no Constitutional enumerated powers granted from the people to the Federal Govt to mandate health care coverage and manage it. There are many ways to reform health care without unconstitutional actions (ie, remove the waiver on health insurance companies irt anti-trust laws). If the objective is Federal control, then ... Read Moreplease go through the Constitutional Amendment process. Please abide by the document that you swore an oath to uphold and that many have sworn their lives to defend. Thank you ma'am.

I just heard the uncle/folk of the murderer Nadal Malik Hasan-"that he was a good American".
I can get this, is the relative is joking?
Is he insane too?
A good American doesn’t kill innocent 13 people and wounding 30 at a Texas military base.
This is not even a human being.
In Israel we have to confront on a daily basis lunatic/murderers like Nadal Malik Hasan.
Yes, you go ahead fight the Terror/Terrorist with peace love & understanding
Let us see how it’s going to work out for you
President Obama.
I all ready nostalgic to president bush.

Maybe now Nancy Pelosi will make the water boarding & torture on the poor man Nadal Malik Hasan legal.
Therefore she can state that it’s Bush and Cheney policy, which made him doing it.
After boarding the man herself, she can say that it is all because of Bush and Cheney.
The poor man Nadal Malik Hasan
He was thinking at the war in Iraq and Afghanistan & his fellow Moslems.... Read More
Then president Obama arrived to the hospital & said,
Nancy what do you think that I can do or help here?
Pelosi to Obama: get started water boarding & torture him & keep the answer for your self & I will take care of the media.
Nancy sneaks out from the hospital room whispering I'll go and take car now of the health care,
Let’s see who I have to torture now…lol

Today, all six ranking Republicans of the Senate committees with jurisdiction over portions of the “Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act” called for an analysis of the bill.
Robert Steinhaus
Robert Steinhaus
The sustainable way to create middle class jobs on a lasting basis is to reduce the cost of energy. America uses the highest amount of energy per worker of any nation on the planet and not coincidentally has the highest worker productivity of any nation on the planet. The prosperity and wage differential of American middle class workers over ... Read Moreequally hard working Chinese and Indian workers currently is supported by America's effective use of increased amounts of energy. If future US administrations choose to reduce energy use per worker and choose, in a misguided program of energy conservation, to settle back into the pack of nations with respect to manufacturing we should expect real wages paid to American workers will inevitably become equal on a purchasing power parity basis to real wages paid foreign workers. This would currently entail American wage cuts to levels of 25% or less of current wages. If the American middle class workers are currently having trouble keeping things going in their families they should investigate how things would go on 1/4 wages as America reduces energy utilization by pricing up the cost of energy with taxes and gradually drifts downward to worker wage parity with our Asian industrial competition.

Government can invent novel schemes to price up energy at a cost and the cost will be the real purchasing power of American Middle class wages.
