Subscribe to RSSBACHMANN: AP looks at Bachmann trying to broaden her appeal: “Pigeonholed as a right-wing disciple, Michele Bachmann is offering herself as a presidential candidate who can unite the GOP's disparate base and appeal to Republicans of all ideological stripes.” But: As a candidate, Bachmann isn't eager to revisit her past controversial statements even though Democratic and Republican rivals alike use them to paint her as a fringe Republican in the race to challenge President Barack Obama.”
“Michele Bachmann has a reminder for Republicans: I’m still here,” Politico writes, adding, “[O]ne week off that triumph, Bachmann is feeling the effects of the latest GOP comet, Rick Perry. Her momentum, which ought to be on the rise, suddenly shows signs of ebbing amid questions of her electability. Her privileged position as the newest, hottest candidate in the GOP field has been usurped by the Texas governor, who’s also sped past her in the polls.”
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune looks into Bachmann’s record as an IRS lawyer: Bachmann “has repeatedly cast herself as a former tax litigator without mentioning that her job was to represent the IRS against taxpayers.”
CAIN: Cain said this Thursday in South Carolina: "If ObamaCare had been fully implemented when I caught cancer, I'd be dead.”
HUNTSMAN: “After taking to Twitter last week to declare his belief in evolution and global warming, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. on Sunday again sought to cast himself as a moderate in a field of more extreme Republican presidential candidates,” The L.A. Times writes, adding, “The performance came after weeks of relative quiet from Huntsman, whose momentum had slowed as media attention turned to Bachmann -- the winner of the Iowa straw poll -- and Perry, the newest entrant into the race.”
“Lanny Wiles, the Republican advance man and John McCain campaign veteran, resigned from Jon Huntsman’s presidential campaign team on Friday, he told POLITICO. … The Florida-based operative is the latest of several Huntsman staffers to exit the campaign. His wife, Susie Wiles, was Huntsman’s campaign manager until stepping down in July.”
PALIN: Karl Rove says – if he had to - he’d bet Palin gets in: “I’m not a gambler, but I’d put in a bit more money that she does get in than she doesn’t. The schedule she’s got next week in Iowa, it looks more like that of a candidate rather than a celebrity,” Rove said on Fox News Sunday, per National Journal. But, he added, “you can only tease so many times in the political process, and it looks like she’s getting to the end of that.”
But she won’t likely announce anything at the Sept. 3rd rally she’s holding in Iowa. “Scott Conroy reports that Sarah Palin probably won't use her much-hyped, September 3 address in Iowa to launch her bid,” GOP 12 writes.
“Political organizer Peter Singleton, who is putting together a big Tea Party event in Iowa keynoted by Sarah Palin, tells National Review that the former Alaska governor will likely launch a presidential campaign by the end of September,” Taegan Goddard writes. Singleton said, per Goddard: "Labor Day will kick off the Republican campaign for the nomination. She is going to make a major, major speech."
GOP 12 picks up on Palin being against mandatory chicken pox immunizations. “I would not propose govt mandating anything like shots for our kids,” Palin wrote in an email, posted by Conservatives4Palin in a post meaning to point out the differences between her and Perry.
PATAKI: “Sources tell NY1 former New York Gov. George Pataki (R) ‘is strongly considering entering the crowded race for the Republican presidential nomination,’” PoliticalWire writes, adding, “The New York Daily News reports Pataki does plan to enter the race but has not set an announcement date yet.”
PAUL: He turned 76 Saturday. Check out NBC’s Anthony Terrell’s piece on why Ron Paul was ignored even after his close second-place showing at Ames.
PERRY: The New York Times A1 on Sunday: "Over three terms in office, Mr. Perry’s administration has doled out grants, tax breaks, contracts and appointments to hundreds of his most generous supporters and their businesses."
“America’s trial lawyers are getting ready to make the case against one of their biggest targets in years: Texas Gov. Rick Perry,” Politico writes. “Among litigators, there is no presidential candidate who inspires the same level of hatred – and fear – as Perry, an avowed opponent of the plaintiffs’ bar who has presided over several rounds of tort reform as governor.”
The Texas Tribune offers a primer on Perry's energy policy. New York magazine on Perry's ascendancy: "The entry of Rick Perry into the Republican presidential race has been something like the application of defibrillator paddles to its collective solar plexus—bracing and clarifying, exhilarating or terrifying (depending on your point of view), and, most of all, impossible to ignore."
The Washington Post gives Perry two Pinocchois for his claim that President Obama has “killed more jobs” than any president in his lifetime. “Unless the economy turns around in the next 18 months, Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any president in the modern era. That would be an accurate statement. But he also became president in the midst of the worst recession of our lifetimes — and it seems a real stretch to make him personally responsible for every one of those lost jobs, without bothering to offer a shred of evidence for the claim,” the Post writes.
National Journal’s Reinhard wrote Friday: “Largely overlooked is the undeniable advantage Perry would bring to November 2012: a track record of appealing to the Hispanic community, the fastest-growing part of the electorate and an increasingly pivotal swing bloc.”
Over the weekend, the L.A. Times unpacked Perry's move to the right on immigration. And Perry's stance on the implementation of the new health care law is also complicated, reports the AP.
Sasha Issenberg tells the New York Times about his new book on Perry: “No candidate has ever presided over a political operation so skeptical about the effectiveness of basic campaign tools and so committed to using social-science methods to rigorously test them. As the 2006 election season approached, the governor’s top strategist, Dave Carney, invited four political scientists into Perry’s war room and asked them to impose experimental controls on any aspect of the campaign budget that they could randomize and measure. Over the course of that year, the eggheads, as they were known within the campaign, ran experiments testing the effectiveness of all the things that political consultants do reflexively and we take for granted: candidate appearances, TV ads, robocalls, direct mail. These were basically the political world’s version of randomized drug trials, which had been used by academics but never from within a large-scale partisan campaign.”
Rick Perry picked up the key endorsements of David Wilkins, a former George W. Bush fundraiser and ambassador to Canada under Bush, and Florence physician Eddie Floyd, whom McClatchy newspapers called “one of the state’s most influential Republican fundraisers.”
ROMNEY: “GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney, scheduled to attend a series of fundraisers this weekend in San Diego, is also working on plans to nearly quadruple the size of his $12 million oceanfront manse in La Jolla,” the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. “Romney has filed an application with the city to bulldoze his 3,009-square-foot, single-story home at 311 Dunemere Dr. and replace it with a two-story, 11,062-square-foot structure.”
“A Romney campaign official confirmed the report, saying the Romneys want to ‘enlarge their two-bedroom home because with five married sons and 16 grandchildren it is inadequate for their needs. Construction will not begin until the permits have been obtained and the campaign is finished,’” The Washington Post writes. In 2008, Republican presidential nominee John McCain was criticized and mocked when he said he was unsure how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, owned. The answer was eight. Since then, perhaps sensing that the issue could be a liability for him, too, Romney began consolidating his real estate portfolio.”
Politico’s Simon writes in his column about the summer of discontent: Four years ago, Republican nominee John McCain could not remember number of his houses; today, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney cannot remember size of his. But Romney says he wants to increase size of his home in ultra-posh California beach community of LaJolla until he can see Tahiti from his window.
RYAN: “Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been quietly looking at a president bid ‘for nearly three months, since Indiana governor Mitch Daniels called him to say he wasn't running,’ the Weekly Standard reports,” per Political Wire. And get this: Ryan called Chris Christie to get his thoughts.
NBC’s Carrie Dann and Ali Weinberg contributed to this report.

Bachmann's entry level position as an attorney for the IRS was a good federal job. Good benefits like health converage and maternity leave which she used during her four year tenure.
Now she is a tea party darling...
Sheesh. Can she get any scarier? Any more stupid?
She's a MOTHER, for crying out loud. What kind of mother doesn't want to protect her from diseases that affect children?
Oh yeah. Now I remember. A mother who doesn't believe in science.
Will she run? Of course. The GOP candidate list for 2012 does not have enough extremists yet.
This comment is about Palin - just so people know. I realized we had some back and forth about Bachmann so it may get lost in the comments.
Mom:
Yes...my comment is clearly about Palin. I was not trying to introduce any confusion; just reacting to a different part of the original First Read post.
I take it from your comment, though, that as a mother, Palin is lacking? You did not defend her opposition to mandatory chicken pox vaccinations. But since you want to avoid confusion, could you let me know your take on Palin's position?
My post #2 has been up for about 2 hours, and so far, no one has defended Palin's position. I doubt you'll be the first, but I'll let you weigh in on that.
Hey, if Palin is dumb enough to not have her kids vacinnated, well, I guess she's going for the Darwin solution to chicken pox. No real threat to other children anyway, doesn't she insist on home schooling?
BTW: that was sarcarsm.
I think anyone who does not give a proven, safe and effective vacinne to communicable diseases for their children is beyond stupid, they should be locked up for child endangerment. You will note that I am not talking about Gardisil, which Gov. Perry was paid to shill for Merck.
Crickets.
Nobody wants to defend Palin's crazy talk about childhood vaccinations.
Guess she's drifting out of the far right mainstream....good grief....too crazy for the crazies.
why does it matter what palin does with her children afterall the demwits want her and her kids to burn in hell or mabe they will strap bombs to thier bodies and go to school ,im sure they are smart enough to push the buttons ,I know lets ask joe Biden and maxine waters both democrats and i think one is the vice president even though half of the people ,I want mention the race of the people but over half did not even know who joe was ,these people were so stupid ...demwits... they just knew they they were voteing for a blk man,glory hal a lieua,praise the lord.
carlyss:
Wow. You get the prize. The only one who showed up to defend Palin and not vaccinating kids.
Of course, your rambling, incoherent rant doesn't exactly make sense. I doubt you convinced anybody that Palin's right on this. But you sure did make people wonder what recreational intoxicants YOU are using...
well whatever it is at least its not obamas drug of choice which we all know is crack at least that what he said but we all know he lies so much i could be wrong.
I hate to tell liberals or whoever else, believing people should not play scofflaw and illegally avoid their taxes is not remotely inconsistent with wanting to legally lower and remove many of those taxes. Is news always that slow or is the desperation 'reporting' more about agenda?
Also concerning the comment above.. so? First see the beginning of my post, second yes and lots of employers including the private sector offer decent benefits. Although if they'd quit taxing the life out of businesses they could be as generous to good employees as possible instead of paying that money to Uncle Sam. He isn't particularly picky about who he doles it out to on top of it.
@Mom of Five, I agree that the public and private sector do provide good benefits for their employees. The point of the MPLS Tribune article is to point out the inconsistency of Bachmann in her statements that she is an outsider that will get government out of our lives. She has been a government employee her whole working life.
And what's REALLY funny, is, when called on it, she comes up with "I only worked for the IRS so I could infiltrate them, and see how they worked so I could work agains them"- or words to that effect.
Good God, man- she sounds like a couple of 9-year old boys arguing with eachother about some kind of make-believe situation they find themselves in....
She worked at the IRS for 5 years. She was also elected to multiple offices for the last 11 years - not hired as an employee. She did that because she got involved because she was staying at home with her children caring for them and wanted better options for their foster children in schools. She first ran for school board and lost. So that's 16 years and she is 55 so 18+16= 34, leaving 21 years of adult life. So I guess mothering and working on a kibbutz in Israel isn't really any kind of meaningful 'work'? Or 21 years she was secretly working for IRS or holding another office and we didn't know it or ? If you notice only the very wealthy go directly to President or even US Congress because it is almost impossible to build a base of support to financially support a campaign unless you already have big money connections or are self-funded. Not that is evil or anything, but it is a reality of how it works. Everyone else tends to be elected on up from smaller offices, because the people are pleased with them. I don't think many of us see that as a black mark against her.
You know, we kinda brought this all on ourselves. The moment we started protecting "stupid" with warning labels, is the time when we lost control. Stupid procreates with itself.
I suggest we get rid of the warning labels, hand everyone plugged in hair dryer and tell them to get into a running shower. If they do...well...
Of course to do this we would have to get rid of the litigation laws protecting stupid, and second we would prove that Darwin's theory isn't so much of a theory after all (ya know that survival of the fittest thing).
Both Republicans and Democrats should be happy because both would get rid of some of the fringe folks and well, might make the world a bit more sane.
(while meant as sarcasm, it does have a bit of truth to it...and now I'm not suggesting to harm anyone, I'm just saying we should stop protecting them from themselves and rewarding them for being stupid as this is where it gets us)
Have a great day!
14 MONTHS OUT - All of this chatter means nothing. We are simply too far out, and a lot will happen between now and the election. The President and his minions need to keep everyone focused on ANYTHING and ANYONE that will not bring attention to the abysmal record of Obamunism thus far. 2008 - he had no experience and no record, and a tired old war horse to run against - and WON!! This time, the record reveals him for who he is - HE DOES NOT WANT us to pay attention to the RECORD - PERIOD!! that IS the strategy for 2012.
The Abysmal record the electorate needs distracting from is the abysmal record of the 2010 Teapublican majority House. Remember these guys were elected to improve the economy and what did they focus on? Protecting tax cuts for the oil companies and CEO's. Their#1 priority, on which they focused like a laser.
Democratic House 2012.
I love it when the tea baggers get so scared of losing the congress, senate and white house, their only comment is it's just to far out a lot can happen between now and then. Keep lying to yourselves tea people, you've got 14 months to make yourselves feel good, before you lose everything.
BTW: Jonathan, looks like all this chatter has got you scared. So it does mean something.
I guess your going to tell us all that chatter in 2009 14 months out, about how the tea baggers were going to take over the house didn't mean anything either.
And for your information, President Obamas record will be what brings him over the finish line with a second term. You listen to too much Fox (aka tea bagger GOP propaganda machine) and Limbaugh telling you his record is bad and believing it.
You do know anybody that listens to Limbaugh is a racist.
Portland....hmmmm isn't that pretty close to Moscow? Government healthcare for illegals,deadbeats and anybody who wants theirs paid for by somebody else? Pull tax cuts from oil companies...think they will just pass them on? The white house and both houses going right all thanks to the Socialist in chief and his Welfare state policies.....Barack Hussein Obama, making Jimmy Carter look smarter since 2008
john mcgraw
That's People's Republic of Portland to you, buster.
Actually, our city takes care of indigents that come from all over the state. I'm told Augusta Mental Hospital gives it's ex-patients a one way ticket here. We have also absorbed Somali and Sudanese refugees just as we did Cambodians during the eighties. It's a challenge, but one that comes with being a "big city" of 63,000. You know what they say, if it's a big, difficult, responsibility, give it to the Liberals. We get it done.
"Washington Post gives Perry two Pinocchois for his claim that President Obama has "killed more jobs" than any president in his lifetime. 'Unless the economy turns around in the next 18 months, Obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any president in the modern era' "
These so called "journalists" give Perry 2 "Pinocchios" ?? Instead, they should be giving Obama 6 or 7 "Pinocchios" for the things he has told the American people that were simply NOT TRUE. i.e. "the $780 billion stimulus will keep unemployment below 8%." , "shovel ready jobs" , De-escalate wars, Dream Act, Obamacare will save millions and you can keep your doctor, etc.etc.etc.
Spoken like a true tea bagger Leona. You tea baggers do like lies, and then get offended when some one calls you out on the lies.
Hey Mo, Put down the kool aid and get sober. I am not a "tea bagger" as you like to call them. I stated facts about Obama's Presidency thus far. Since Obama has told more non-truths" to the American people , and you obviously like what this President has done thus far, doesn't that make you the gullible one?
Leona:
Hey....we still disagree on the substance, but since our "discussion" last week, I think your posts have really improved. You emphasized facts...and you avoided making stuff up.
For that, you have my respect. I think there's a pretty good chance we're actually listening to each other.
Bill
My,my...isn't the liberal losers in name calling mode when confronted with Hussein Obama's "stellar" performance. After this election cycle, every bill Obama supported will have been either declared unconstitutional or rolled back. This socialist has been the biggest failure, even worse than Jimmy Carter. Chew on that you bleeding heart welfare addicted liberals.
Hey john mcgraw, can you say crazy!!!!!!!!!!!! You sound so angry. Could it be that you know you tea baggers GOP are going to lose the congress, senate and white house in 2012?
Does your psychiatrist know your off your meds?
Unemployment rates skyrocketing, gas prices through the roof, Welfare rolls exploding....things are great! I'm certain this Chicago carpet bagger stands a chance of being re-elected...<koo-koo> Now call somebody a racist for telling the truth about this losers failed Presidency...
You mentioned ALL those things, John McGraw;And yet, here you are, wanting to take way the safety nets that protect low and middle income Americans from the hubris of Wall Street BY gutting those programs AND by forcing us to give them MORE tax breaks!!!
it's the government with their rules and restrictions and their hands out and palms up that put us in this situation to begin with. put the EPA on holiday, get government regulation out of the way and the welfare line would thin down. Business goes where it isn't strangled with regulation and taxes.
I am STILL waiting for some good examples of these so called crazy regulations that everyone keeps talking about...
Oh yeah, and John probably never lived through a recession I guess, they are all like this....
name caller !!!!!!
John mcgraw, you are so right. Unfortunately, the Libs have been brain washed by the "media journalists" . They have been fed the rhetoric that the so called "millionaires and billionaires" screwed them and owe them something. Well, Obama is friends with many "millionaires and billionaires." If he really felt that they are the enemy, they wouldn't be donating to his campaign.
Tell you what, John:

Thanks, osha.gov for the list.Shut down OSHA, the EPA, the FDA. We don't need clean water, air, work environment, or even food. The wealthy don't work, so it won't matter to them. They don't live in *CITIES....EWE*! So they don't have to worry about those conditions.
".....so they could hand this country over to the corporate and monied elite!"
Hey Tom, "the corporate and monied elite," as you call them, are the same people who donate to Obama's campaign and have meetings with him at the WH in order to give him advice because his poll numbers are in THE TOILET. Even Obama knows he has has to reach out to the corporate people for a possible solution to 9.2% ! Who do you think can put people back to work? Certainly NOT the Liberals in Congress.
Let's take a look at just WHO the Tea Party wants to see get the nomination for POTUS:
We have a woman who goes around the country, badmouthing the stimulus money and saying that Government is bad, but then turns around and gets cash for her pet projects in her state, receives Medicaid money for her husband's medical clinic that practices the most asinine treatment to "CURE" a person from homosexuality, AND gets cash for her farm.
As a SITTING MEMBER of Congress, one would think that Michele Bachmann would be WELL VERSED in our country's history AND Constitution; But when you take in the statements that she made when she stated that slavery was a "POSITIVE INFLUENCE" on African Americans during that time, forgets her Cold War History by ignoring the fact the Soviet Union IS NO MORE, going around the country butchering AND voting IN FAVOR of legislation that attacks the very heart of the U.S Constitution, you cannot help but feel that the education that she got at Oral Roberts University was a complete joke!!
Now, when you are running for WHATEVER OFFICE in ANY level of government, you have to deal with the press; you have to deal with questions, and answer them honestly to the best of one's ability, from those that are on your side, in the middle and those who don't agree with you AT ALL. That being said, I have to know WHY would her husband and campaign staff would PHYSICALLY attack a reporter whose SOLE job is to get the answers to some of her hypocritical stances.
If I were a Conservative and I read this, I would be GREATLY CONCERNED about my continued support of her.
I assume you think we should listen to a sicko like Maxine Waters, whom also sits in congress but should be thrown out for her criminal activity and sleazy insults to people in her own country. She proved she is not there to represent but a small portion of Americans, like maybe 26% or less. The last time I checked History told me the most important thing in America were the people congress was elected to represent and if they don't want to represent all of them they need to be removed. Bachmann is a smart, fabulous American but I think Maxine is a criminal that belongs in jail rather than representing the people, so call her out before downing someone that loves all Americans in congress.
Three things, Pat-419920:
(1) Maxine Waters was ACQUITTED by the House Ethics Committee for ANY wrong doing.
(2) The ONLY thing she forgot to add when she told the Tea Party to "Go to Hell" WAS "While wearing gasoline draws AND driving a nitroglycerin truck"!!!!
(3) Her "suggestion" IS WAY MILDER compared to the filth that comes from you and your party's sewers, and we can go ALL THE WAY back to the Bush Administration AND bring it TO THE PRESENT!!!!

''I'm thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I'm wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. ... No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choki...ng the life out.''

Searching for something to give him any kind of meaning, just as he was searching later in life for religion.''

It'll bring about terrorist bombs; it'll bring earthquakes, tornadoes and possibly a meteor."

"Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past - I'm not arguing for despotism as a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble - recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin's penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an 'enemy of the people.' The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, 'clan liability.' In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished 'to the ninth degree': that is, everyone in the offender's own generation would be killed and everyone related via four generations up, to the great-great-grandparents, and four generations down, to the great-great-grandchildren, would also be killed."

"Two things made this country great: White men & Christianity. The degree these two have diminished is in direct proportion to the corruption and fall of the nation.

- George W. Bush, Washington Post, 11-19-02
And get this: Ryan called Chris Christie to get his thoughts.
This line cracks me up, I don't know why. Maybe because neither one has a chance of winning a general election.
The funny part of Ryan calling Christy for his thoughts? Calling Christy for thoughts.
Obama has nothing to re-elect him but plenty reasons to not and one of the biggest reasons to not is his and his supporters constant lies and bashing of other candidates. Michele Bachmann has not made half the gaffes as Obama, but we do not hear about his unless we seek out real news. Perry didn't say what you are claiming on here about Texas. He was misunderstood and no one wants to check out the facts of what he said but msnbc chooses to use slander against people without facts, typical, taught well by the democratic leaders. They have always been pretty good at twisting the facts, Edward Kennedy tactics on how you can lie and get away with murder. Romney knows there is no proof of globalwarming and probaly knows it has been pushed on us for a select few to get wealthy but he has to say what he can to get elected, which tells me he isn't the one we need to run our country, but of course if he happens to be Obama's running mate he will get my vote and everyone else I have talked to in my hometown. Huntsman, well he is what he is and I can't so much more than that, but would also get my vote instead of Obama. Msnbc and other Obama networks would do him more of a favor if they would find something he has done for the country rather than tell us about other candidates bc when we go check out what they said we find even more wonderful stuff about the other candidates. I have searched far and wide to find the good in Obama but have yet to find it. Perry/Palin 2012 and many of the other running candidates have amazing qualities that tells me they should have jobs in Washington to replace Obama's crooked useless czars. Many of the czars can be aliminated and save the country some money.
Before you can get through commenting on an article written by msnbc it has changed; proof they never check out facts and have to change their story.
Like most typical Americans, I have an attention span about long enough to take in bumper stickers and sound bites. I seldom read or listen to that which runs contrary to my prejudices and preconceived beliefs. I am interested in making meaningless noises and watching TV commercials about "How to get rich without working." I am of the ME generation. I am the important one. What you have is mine if I want it; if you don't give it to me willingly, I will elect politicians who will take it from you and distribute it among my kind. When people say there is no money for my government entitlements and welfare programs, I know they lie; the government controls the money supply.
We need a SOLIDLY Democrat House AND Senate if we're ever going to address the financial messes the GOP put us in! Remember, the GOP has been at it for 30 years, and it's gonna take some time ( and heartache) to get out from under "starve the beast" which deliberately created this debt crisis! NOW, they're blocking the economic recovery HOPING we go into another recession by election 2012!
All I can say to voters is to STOP being STUPID in the voting booth and get RID of all the GOP/Teahadists that have nearly destroyed this country so they could hand this country over to the corporate and monied elite!
"All I can say to voters is to STOP being STUPID in the voting booth and get RID of all the GOP/Teahadists that have nearly destroyed this country so they could hand this country over to the corporate and monied elite!"
Hey Tom, Obama meets with the "corporate and monied elite" all the time. He gets advice and some of them even work for his admin. They even donate to his campaign. Put down the kool aid and sober up.
and.....As far as a solid Dem. Senate and House goes, we had that in 2009/10. Guess what ?! The American people kicked their A$%#S out for a good reason !
Yes, they kicked them out. The power of propaganda is VERY powerful. Imagine, voters put BACK into power the very party that just finished crashing the economy and DELIBERATELY created this debt crisis. AND they have said publically they want to privatize all of our safety nets for the elderly, poor and ill!!
I call that STUPID!!!!!
