Comment: This country is getting into a sense of entitlement mentality and the Constitution I studied in school did not guarantee health coverage at all, let alone at the expense of the taxpayers. AND we all know that Congress won't want/or take the same plan they are trying to come up with for us minions.

Comment: On the news today, they announced federal money for more flood repairs. This time a bridge in Waterloo that John Deere uses. Funny nobody screamed socialism on that one. I will never use that bridge, so why did they use my tax dollars? There sure is some very selective outrage by some of our dittoheads and bought off congress people. Grassly and Ensign sure were smirking on the news tonight when they defeated public option with the help of a few so called blue dogs. They will laugh all the way to the bank while many Iowans will suffer. by James
