Of course it's going to get struck down.

And once that happens, car insurance is next.

The federal government does not have the constitutional authority to force us to give our money to any specific industry.

car insurance is much different. you can opt out of car insurance simply by not owning a car or choosing to drive. Health care was proposed as a federal mandate. This is clearly outside the scope of the Federal Government as the constitution clearly states that all rights not specifically covered under the constitution are reserved for the states.

I'd suggest that some people read over the sticky in this forum.

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

"car insurance is much different."

No, it is not. The same principle applies - the government is forcing you to give money to an industry that has done nothing to earn it, and in fact has a history of trying to deny proper claims.

It is a money grab. That is all that this is. The Commerce Clause has been misappropriated and if you keep that sort of 'it's different' mentality, pretty soon you're going to be forced to buy things you don't ever use in life because the government says you're required to.

There is nothing different, at all. This is the government saying "Give your money to this industry or else."

Soon enough you're going to have to have COMPUTER INSURANCE if you own a computer. That bill got struck down last year but I hear it's coming back.

yeah, I gotta agree. I think the requirement for car insurance is state law, not federal law.

sorry, dude, I started that one I'm afraid. just a friendly jab at IB. It just kinda cracks me up that I voted for Mama Bear for VP and IB voted for Barry but now we both seem to be suffering from buyer's remorse. :jointsmile: her show is kinda entertaining, tho.

We need the god dang PUBLIC OPTION! Obama should have stood his ground on that one.

Instead, we're going to continue forking over trillions towards the military-industrial complex and their imperialistic wars!

War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

yeah... I'm a grad student in one of the major universities quite near there.

It is funny how quiet it got in here. I dare say some liberals are embarrassed, if not totally speechless. The truth does that to people sometimes.

I have an MS and BA from top schools. I work at the top of my field. I've been a toker since 8th grade, although I've slowed down in my middle age to be sure. It's all about hard work, discipline, and good early childhood education. Smoking has nothing to do with it unless you allow it to become a distraction.

Silence has more to do with my work schedule than anything else. I travel frequently, often overseas. When I am here I prefer the other forums where I can actually learn something. The politics threads are just for fun if I have time.

I thought this thread was heading in the right direction after the sticky update. What's with the backsliding Pyscho4bud?

Well, there are 12 posts deleted "so far" and I let a bit slide because of a new member getting aquainted with other members here. Gotta let it be a bit social just as long as it stays civil.

Like I stated in that sticky though; IF the same name(s) keep on coming up for deleted threads, I'll just take that as a sign that they don't care much about my time spent on this board so I'll "delete" my problem(s) as to save my precious time for other matters. :bnd2:

Have a good one!:thumbsup:

P.S. A safe and happy holidays to ALL!!!:madnoel:
