Here is a more comprehensive story about Elon Musk subsidies. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-musk-subsidies-20150531-story.html The man is visionary, and a force. I'm reasonable sure he is sincere, and that his efforts will advance society. But his companies could easily fail if government policies change. I would not consider buying stock in any of them. Wow! So he's visionary, a force, and will advance society but you won't buy his stock? So the government is propping up his company. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I'm assuming that is the term you always use to describe someone who is successful in America. Not at all. I'm successful and not over priveleged. I'm only a little confused then. Are you saying people who chose to use some of their success to buy electric cars are douchebags? Absolutely not. What I'm saying is the taxpayers have propped up Tesla from the beginning. I think tax credits make sense to help a fledgling technology get off the ground. I don't like my tax dollars being given to people so they can buy a $100,000 toy. If you combine the tax credit of $7,500.00 along with the sale of green credits and even more government money to build SolarCity... The benefactors of this set up are Tesla, it's stockholders, and the over-privileged douche bags who buy the car. If you can afford a $100K automobile you don't need $7,500 from the government.

Absolutely they are fretting. Always difficult for conservatives to figure out how to take back something once the liberals have given it away. Yes, that is exactly what is happening. Some people have gained access to healthcare at public expense. And it is a form of socialism that is very popular. So popular in fact that the majority of the population is in favour of it. There will be changes to the system, but the ACA in some form is here to stay. Healthcare is not a protected right. But more and more even conservatives are seeing that a rich society benefits from ensuring that all members have the security of feeling able to access care when it is needed. Without relying on the whims of employers and insurance companies, who have completely different interests from them. There is a strong possibility that what comes next is even more socialist. And one thing for sure is that almost no one is going to be happy with the final result. Left or right. Classic example of confusing health care with health insurance. Please don't dent the planet.

Absolutely they are fretting. Always difficult for conservatives to figure out how to take back something once the liberals have given it away. What??? Are you saying that Americans are benefiting from ACA? But the party line has been that it has been devastating to us! It should be easy to repeal it to end our suffering. Not what I said at all. When you give people something for nothing it's always difficult to take it back. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

No. We're hoping we have at least a few folks in the military willing to disobey illegal orders. We're hoping he has trouble finding troops willing to kill US citizens with little provocation. We're hoping we don't fall into a civil war for no damn good reason. Who said anything about killing anyone? Chicago is out of control. I'm surprised you don't lambaste him as a racist for allowing it to continue (now that you can call the POTUs a racist). Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

The precise concept of a hiring freeze continues to elude you, eh? It could be either...if she's even an average RN she'll have no problem finding a job. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4810077;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread There's already a thread for this. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

I guess I don't understand. The too many vacant positions problem wasn't solved by giving the VA billions more? I wonder where it went? You are correct when you question things like deductibles and such, but it seems to me we're trying to invent something that already exists. People on Medicare have supplemental policies (or should) that take care of deductibles and co-pays. Why can't there be a Veterans policy that makes out of pocket costs $0?

No Bill. What's ironic is that liberal protesters burned the business of a Muslim immigrant...the same class of people they say they want to protect. I'm sorry you're irony impaired. Are you dizzy from spinning like that? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

It did under Pres. Reagan's hiring freeze. And re: 'As I understand it', just how do you understand it? Jerry Baumchen I have a coworker RN who was in the beginning process of getting a job at the Pablo Alto VA... not anymore.

Billions spent to fix VA didn't solve problems, made some issues worse http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/05/politics/veterans-administration-va/ http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/07/05/commission-on-care_final-report_063016_1815-3-1.pdf 308 page report which, in my opinion is an example of why things don't work when the government is in control. Instead of having a special policy for the VA why can't they just be treated the same as everyone elso on Medicare? Why do we need a special set of rules? Please don't dent the planet.

As a veteran it aggravates me when right-wing conservatives who never served in the military prevent the VA from filling thousands of open positions, and reduce the already low morale by insinuating that existing VA staff are all corrupt or incompetent. The wise approach is to let someone who knows what the fuck he's doing (like the Secretary of the VA) make management decisions instead of dictating from a position of complete ignorance. Absolutely! Because that approach has worked so well over the past 8 years. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

He never expected to become President and spent the last month and a half ignoring briefings, going on self congratulatory tours and getting in pissing matches with actors. What makes you think he cares about learning WTF is wrong? As it was for me and Barry we'll just have to see.
