“Something is very wrong with this picture--it just doesn't make sense.
Who suffers? the common man. Once again, the ordinary American loses to the giant medical industry. We need to change the way Congress pays for their campaigns and immediately. With Congress in the pockets of all the corporations, the people will never have a chance at fairness; they will remain the pawns of both Congress & the corporations.”

“Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve are not hear for the American people. They are here for the international bankers. Ben Bernanke does not care one twit for our well-being. His mandate is to destroy the middle class by booms and busts, each time diminishing the middle class of wealth and power. This time he has done great damage. We must take back control over our money supply and our government. Only we can do it.”

“Great article, Hyman. I bow to you. Sugar is H-o-r-r-i-b-l-e. And, worst of all, It is addictive.
As for drugs, I wouldn't let my doc put me on statins. I Just said "no". I haven't trusted the drug industry for 6-7 years, so i stopped taking 4-5 drugs back then. The dr's asst. told me they NeVeR see patients like me, who reduce their drugs.... I did stop eating sugar at the same time, tho. It was Not Easy To Get Off THE Sugar--IT Was Torture. It took me three weeks before I un-hooked. Then it was months before I felt safe. Even today I am tempted to have ice cream now and then, which would be okay if I wasn't Addicted.
I make every effort not to have any white food in my house--at all.”

A Health Care Bailout For the Middle Class

“The free market has brought us into this mess.
The insurance/Unsurance companies have had forever to correct this situation, but they failed.
All the other first world countries have national health care, and it costs them half of what we are currently paying (U.S. 7500 per person), and we have worse outcomes.
Universal health care is not rocket science-- just don't spend:
Billions on executive salaries
Billions on non-compete drugs
Billions on advertising
Billions bribing Congressmen & Congresswomen (o, sorry, i mean campaign donations, ha-ha)
Billions on kickbacks to doctors, etc.
Billions on paying clerks to turndown claims
It's not rocket science”

“No, it's not semantics, it is the Constitution. If he is repsonsible for torture then he should be prosecuted for it, but you cannot prosecute him because he is "dancing all around town and bragging about it--basically, In Your Face." He has a First Amendment right to dance, brag and basically get in your face all he wants.... whether we like it or not. Yes, he should be prosecuted, he should have been prosecuted years ago... even when he you couldn't get two words out of him about whole thing.”

“Please ask Barney Frank why Congress has not acted on the following power play against the Constitution & the People of these United States.
In December Hank Paulson issued an executive decree to "veto"/nullify section 382 of the tax code. That tax code, passed by Congress 22 years ago makes it illegal for banks to play a shell game using dummy corporations to dodge taxes that they owe. But in nullifying the provision, Paulson wanted to give big banks a "back door way of subsidizing their takeovers of smaller bank competitors". As a result, when Wells Fargo took over Wachovia in October, it successfully dodged $25Billion!!!! How much more of the People's money is Congress giving away to the robber baron banksters?”

The truth is that the media in the U.S. is highly censored! If you spend anytime outside of this country you should pick up a newspaper or even watch a new station, and you will quickly discover that the news flows much more freely in other first-world countries than it does here in the U.S. We talk about having 'freedom of speech', but the reality is that so few Americans travel abroad and pay attention to the media abroad. Very different, and a bit shocking to realize the U.S. is as censored as it is.”
