The butt stops here. Where are the priorities people? With an economy nearing the big flush, that is the US banks going down the drain and the big three automakers following as a chaser. Conflict in the Mid-East, and an oil crisis ready to erupt like the world has never known.
What is the American public concerned with? Well it seems the big question of the day is: “does the president elect still smoke cigarettes?”
Holy smokes! The soon to be president has a pack of problems to fill his carton. Geez, let the man have a smoke...

Wouldn't you rate health to be more important than the economy?
I just hope someone can afford to burn my sorry, broke, sick, corpse...
Nah, we'll just toss you in a tree...
As long as my dead self has a nice view. I am thinking a meadow would be nice. Most important. No self pretentious would be pseudo intellectuals to mess up my view.
How about putting your burnt crusty self on the first stage of the SAT rocket so you get a good birds eye view coming down?
That won't work. My dead self is in a tree overlooking the Newport Harbor entrance to see if the Minnow's coming back, sheesh!
Okay, here's the thing. You will be in no position to demand anything. You just better hope that you led a good life and your loved ones put you in that harbor...
Otherwise, we might just be looking at tin cans in a stinky alley outside the local dive bar...
hi Mike,
I suspect that the 'States' is going the same way as 'Great Britain' went in the 1950/60's, that is, in terminal decline into a second rate country.
The fact that China has now become a major player in the World markets, that will drive the economies of the 'Developed' countries further into the red.
Heck, I don't care if he smokes pot, if it helps him turn things around for the rest of us. Somehow I don't think goverment is very effective at fixing economical cycles, probaly turn around quicker if they didn't do anything.
£0.I don't know what you pay for health coverage, but here in the US, insurance rates keep going up. If the economy stays as is, the point of health will be moot.

As private health care exists in the US there is one too many sectors taking a bite from the health care dollar. That would be the health insurance companies.
My solution is to only allow health car providers to sell health insurance. The manpower they now spend dealing with insurance companies could be leveraged to do the actual inhouse insurance work.
It is not a cut and dried thing and it would take some degree of regulation. Some way to keep the insurance part of health care from making money.
Some sort of incentive to not abuse the system. Set a threshold per year, those who excede pay more, those who fall below get a discount, those who never use get a refund.
