No, but they should brag about the health insurance bill, some good things will start regarding health insurance companies tomorrow. Check it out- They can no longer drop you if you get sick, they can not refuse to insure your child if born with illnesses, and they will have to carry your kids until they are 26 if you want.
Good start.
No energy plan as of yet,(can't understand where your rant on that comes from )that makes 253 years without one. Chalk another year up for the Koch Brothers and their Tea Party .
The economy is improving. Things were going down when the Dems took over, now they are headed up. Hopefully, employment will continue to improve.
Things are getting better!!, but not as fast as most would like. Thing is, do we want to put the same bunch back in charge that drove us into the ditch last time they drove ?

That ditch was a mere rut after a low 5% unemployment and a dow of 14000 with businesses expanding.
You want the drunk teenagers to do more joyriding until they drive that car right off the cliff and smash it on the rocks below?

I am really tired of that 'ditch' analogy.

My health insurance is going up 21% next year. Company wanted to increase it 40%.

Anybody else loving this new health care?

We really don't know what is in it yet because nobody has read it yet, I think that after January 1st things will begin to clear up.

One thing that is in the health insurance bill that is causing so much problem with the insurance companies that have been screwing us for so long is a little clause that says insurance companies will have to pay out 85% of their income for actual health care. That means the free ride is over and their profit margins are limited to 15%. Expect them to fight the bill more and more , and lie about it more and more as time goes on.

The requirement is called medical loss ratio, which is the ratio of medical expenses paid to premiums received. In the 1990's when Clinton was working on the problem, MLR were typically 93-95%, and they are now at 83-86%, while profit margins have remained generally 3-6%, so I dont know where the money is going. Maybe nicer offices, stock buybacks, company picnics...

In a effort to insure prices don't go up and quality and availability will not go down Obama has signed a bill that Guarantees prices will go up quality and availability will go down.

You'll have to excuse me if I don't thank him.
