		<description>I agree with the above post, and the post above that. I highly doubt that jabs were actually considered with the health care.</description>

		<description>I would agree with the previous post.  Expanding HSA&#039;s would be more cost effective in the long run with expanded state pools.  Guaranteed issue has been a tremendous  failure in states like NY, NJ, etc..  That is what we have to look forward to.  

Has jobs been considered in this health care passes?</description>

		<description>We need reform...but not the type of reform we are hearing. Let&#039;s take it slow...improve utilization of HSAs and create extra state pool money. Now...that wasn&#039;t so hard!</description>

		<description>Way to jump the gun.  This is just a tally of jobs SO FAR.  Please update this after the first 4 years of Obama&#039;s administration.</description>

		<description>I would have to say as wasteful as it is at least it went to something useful rather than the TARP program which only went to save Wall Street Fat cats,  that probably didnt need it in the first place,  granted the Dems are going to shoot themselves in the head by wasting the money saved from that too,  but lets not forget that the Republicans are the ones who initiated that program.   ahhh but the right so quickly forgets how they screwed up and only wish to point out where the left is screwing up...  Maybe I would listen to them more if they would just admit they are idiots too... At least I know the Dems are gonna screw me over,  unlike the Reps who say they are for fiscal responsibility, yet waste just as much money on useless things as the Dems...   maybe this country will wake up one day... probably not...</description>

		<description>It&#039;s just wrong to take the fruits of one persons labor by force and give it as an unearned benifit to someone else.  You do not have a right to what I have earned. Who cares about the numbers, it&#039;s the principle thats wrong. I&#039;m happy to give to charities of my own accord, but DO NOT force me to and DO NOT tell me what charities I must support. Again, YOU do NOT have a RIGHT to what I have EARNED.</description>

		<description>Hawkspring, I am in engineering and construction, and FYI only 4% of the entire stimulus bill went to construction when it was all said and done.  Don&#039;t believe everything you hear out of this man&#039;s lieing mouth, almost the entire stimulus went right back into government in some shape or form.  That 4% of construction was in the government sector also, not the private sector.</description>
