Congressman Phil Hare

There you go again, Ann. You offer no counter-argument or alternative analysis, you just throw insults. Perhaps you should spend some time looking in the mirror.

Good luck getting Davenport on board.

we all could really use the 500 year levee. Thanks for all you do phil

...and that would be because the costs are backloaded. Devil is in those pesky details.

Everyone needs to read Kim's link about how public option will fail. Found under Phil's comment made on Wed at 5:25)

Amen, to that comment, Joe.

This nonsense must stop. Quit bullying capitalism. Rep elections in about 400 days will correct this.

Good Work, Phil!

Thanks. :)

Thanks, thats really great ... they deserve it..

It affects 25 people. Showboating at its finest.

Obama now is promoting the regulation of wages of many industries and companies. Is anyone out there listening to the news, the real news on FOX?!

Here is some more: Whether or not you now have health insurance,
Obama's healthcare bill will cost you dearly. If you
don't have insurance, you will be required to buy it.
The legislation specifies how much you will have to
pay for the coverage before any subsidy kicks in. All... Read More
during the campaign, Obama kept speaking about
affordable coverage. Now it appears that his
definition of "affordable" might be a bit elastic.

For those who think they are not affected by this "tax", Obama care even reaches down to people who earn $22,000 and places a mandate on them to purchase health care. That is partly how Obama plans to keep this plan "deficit neutral".

Phil... wait till election time and we'll see at the polls the lack of real support for the "Worst Bill Ever"

What ever happened to the principals that you and I were taised with??God helps them who help themselves. past few years is like Robinhood . steal from the workers to give to
to the lazy.I did not totally agree with reaganomics but the country wass better off then than nnow.Quit encouraging people not to work!!

Lyn--I can definitely feel your pain. The point is it doesn't matter who was on the clock at the time of your community's employment catastrophe--now is the time that counts, and our tax money was pledged to create jobs through the Stimulus Package the Congress crammed down our throats because Obama was in such a hurry. After they signed it, ... Read MoreObama took off to Colorado and waited to sign the final bill--a bill that no one really read! The point: our country was promised growth, new jobs through this bill. Has it happened: Not yet. Hopefully, through retaining programs that you can find, you will be able to find yourself in a more stable situation. Our community over the past 25 years has suffered the same as yours. Somehow, however, the jobs have shifted to other industries. Look to your local leaders and see what they are doing. Be an advocate for Job Creation in your community.

I hope that includes the janitor that was going to receive a "retention" bonus because he is so vital to the financial institution's daily operations (oh, wait..I guess everyone does need toilet paper in the bathroom.)

Seriously, I found out first-hand that some, or a good part of bail out money for banks went for more than bonuses and parties. Instead of helping troubled borrowers they bought up even more unsecured debt in a number of credit card companies. Because of the pending credit card bill they then doubled or tripled interest rates on their new customers... Read More, lowered their credit limits, or dropped those who pay in full. To make things worse, the only way to "opt-out" of the new interest rate is to cancel the credit card which lowers your credit rating so all your other cards do the same thing because they received notice of your lower score. Now they have all this unsecured debt and many have canceled their cards so they aren't spending money (or borrowing) in the economy. Nice move banks! Your actions cut off your customers and hurt the taxpayers who bailed your butts out of your excessive life style in the first place.

I see where you could not get the COLA for old folks now raise our insurance. You are not half the man you replaced . Just hot air. I will not vote for Pat Quinn he is hot air like you.
