What a gallingingly stupid bitch. This woman feigned ignorance about her insider trading but thinks she can speak for the founding fathers that would've like more government controlling Americans.
I guess she thinks they would've approved of her splurging taxpayers' money flying her family all over the world for free. I really hope Americans have woken up and will vote these crooks out of office in November. Angry07

Well, I'm not a fan of Obamacare/Romneycare or of Nancy Pelosi.
On the other hands it's a bit silly the way people of all political persuasions in America drag in the Founding Fathers who've been safely dead for over two hundred years and who faced totally different situations from those we have to deal with in the modern world.
For what it's worth at the very beginning of the newly independent US there were divisions between the Federalists like Washington and Adams and Hamilton and those like Jefferson who wanted less role for the government.
The original US system wasn't even the eventually adopted constitution (and it wasn't until 1791 that all 13 of the original states had even ratified that) but the Articles of Association drawn up in 1781 and then superseded by the later, more Federalist US constitution.
To me it's a madness that the US doesn't have a proper national health system - almost alone in Western democracies it remains without one.
Obamacare/Romneycare is a totally inadequate and badly thought out scheme but it's marginally better than nothing.
And the real problem is that public doesn't always mean bad and private good any more than the opposite is true.
Both socialists and capitalists are missing the point.
One of the most conservative Americans I've ever met on a message board is a strong supporter of a national health service for the US because, as he says, an unhealthy people aren't much good at anything!

It would be great if we had a working healthcare system, but what we have now is nothing more than a new tax, and the only thing consistent about Democrats is that they love to create more taxes and raise them as often as they can get away with.
There is so much wrong with Obamacare aside from spending 600 million on a non-working website, with half of that amount not accounted for. And as an aside, it was recently reported also that a billion dollars is 'missing' from the state department.
This administration hasn't told the truth about anything since they've come to power. They are now claiming Obamacare is a success with 7M having signed up, but they won't report how much in premiums have been paid, or if they've even been paid. They have done nothing but a smoke and mirrors show.
Obama is relying on 20-somethings to pay this healthcare premium, yet, also fixed it so that they can stay on their parents plan 'til 26.
I don't like either political party, nor do I like politicians, but IMO, this one is the worst. And Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are beyond contempt with their outrageous, blatant lies and ridiculous statements they come out with that insult most people's intelligence. Someone said that they lie so much they think nothing of it.
