A Congressman was campaigning halfway across the country and wasn’t present to vote against the Defense Bill, and people rail against him. A President who not only was present in DC, but had the power to veto, made the decision not to veto it, and people still defend him.

Major win for the President
In what can only be described as a major victory for President Obama and Congressional Democrats, House Republicans today stopped their obstructionism and passed a temporary extension to the payroll tax cut. This came after Senate Democrats came to an agreement on the issue and overwhelmingly passed the Bill. It is not only good policy – the average American will have an extra $40 in their...

Researchers from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health surveyed the demand for medical and mental health care from 1,211 gay men registered with a particular health clinic in the 12 months prior to the change, and the 12 months afterwards.
They found a 13% drop in healthcare visits after the law was enacted.

deal The Democrats, after much pushing, got through a modest two-month extension of the payroll tax cuts which Republicans had long fought against. This sounds like a pretty crappy victory.
compromise However … it came at a cost: Democrats had to give up on their plan to tax millionaires, and Obama has to make a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. Wow, they sure twisted the...
Anonymous asked: Thanks for the answer on the dental question, I did learn a bit to be honest. You mentioned the budget surplus. This is something that I don't think the majority of Australians understand, it's used as a political tool to gain confidence in a government. As far as I understand, a budget surplus does not take into account national debt, it's simply the money left over from taxes...
Ron Paul, who doesn’t believe that the Government can do anything right, apparently believes that it can engage in a massive conspiracy to engage in armed conflicts abroad in order to fuel the military-industrial complex. You can’t really have it both ways, Dr Paul: either you believe that the Government is an institution that is ineffective, or you believe that it is organised and...

Anonymous asked: There's a dental health epidemic in this country. Contrary to popular belief, public dental clinics won't do the majority of procedures that private dentists do. The public system is good for extractions and fillings, no crowns, no implants, no root canals. The Labor Govt has been trying to get rid of the $4250 (per year) available to patients with chronic illnesses to use at any...

This was a speech from an independent (formerly One Nation) Member of Parliament last night. While I respect that Ms Pratt and I disagree on the issue of civil partnerships, I do not however believe that she has the right to say some of the things that she said without people knowing about it (e.g. it is “sad” that people are queer.) These views do not belong in 2011.
