Vetting the Health Care Rhetoric

CQ is non-partisan. So no one is trying to beat up on one side or the other. If you go to the link below you will see one of the best True/False on the Health care legislation I have seen.

As politicians and interest groups try to shape the outcome of the health care overhaul, they've offered interpretations that are so wildly different that truth sometimes seems to be taking a vacation.

Some — like the contention that a House health care overhaul (HR 3200) would create "death panels" that decide end-of-life care — are false. Some are misleading, and others are true.

Cash for Clunkers: Not a new program.

Texas has been doing a similar program on a state level since 2001 with great success and bi-partisan support. It was a Republican bill initially and has been carried by Republicans and supported by Democrats.

Along with this program there is a program that is pretty much the same but is for heavy equipment and big trucks like dump trucks.

The programs were started to deal with air quality programs and are attributed to helping Dallas become the first city to have it's Clean Air Plan approved by the EPA.http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/jul2008/2008-07-03-091.asp

Paper = Art=Cash

I learned how to make a mobile in Kindergarten. Why didn't I learn to continue making them and selling them for $100/each?
