During the health care debate, the far right decried a portion of the plan as “death panels.” These death panels were a supposed result of government bureaucracy that would judge whether someone is worthy of health care based on his or her contribution to society. If not the government would essentially “pull the plug on granny.”
Vowing to oppose the historic health care reform that passed was a central part of the Republican platform. The reason was decidedly simple — this law was derided as a “government takeover.” Never mind that no public option, the government-run health care plan many liberals wanted in the bill, was included. The part that the GOP has concentrated on is the individual mandate.
In 1906 Upton Sinclair published The Jungle, which exposed the corruption and awful practices of the meat packing industry. In 2010, more than a century later, the food industry still cannot get it right. Citizens are still getting sick from simply eating the food bought at the supermarket.
It never seemed that the old adage “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” would apply to the issue of campaign finance but, in light of a Supreme Court ruling handed down earlier this year, it does.
In 2009, President Obama, to the surprise of much of the world, won the Nobel Peace Prize. He had hardly done anything to deserve it, but now he has the chance to prove that the much-coveted award is deserved.
Details from a Pentagon study on the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which bans gays, lesbians, and bisexuals from openly serving in our armed forces, were leaked to The Washington Post earlier this week.
Americans have begun questioning the value of a college degree in this recession. A sentiment exists among some people that the loans and sky-high tuition do not make higher education worth it — cynics might say we paying tens of thousands of dollars for a piece of paper.
