Yep. They know more about what's good for me than I do. Perhaps only land owners should be allowed to vote. They understand more about what's being discussed than the silly renters. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

Gee, ya think? 10 pts of GDP in 2 Q's.... sorry, I can see your despair in that my guy is fixing your guys mess. OMG, what's that I felt? Part of the sky just fell in my yard. Ahh Lucky. The your guy/ my guy thing is getting old. As far as I can tell printing off 200+ billion greenbacks and floating them is starting to work. I never said anything to the contrary. You missed the whole point of my post, as usual. I guess you don't recall double digit inflation and interest rates. Oh and let me beat you to the point...it wasn't Carter's fault (your guy) it was Reagan's (my guy). Now that we've gotten that out of the way care to respond to my OP? Please don't dent the planet.

The point you miss along with others is that we don't need the gov't to fix these things. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

According to here http://www.recovery.gov/Pages/home.aspx our gov't has pumped $207,000,000,000 into the economy. It appears to be having a positive affect. I fear an overheated economy, with inflation and high interest rates if we continue. How much is enough? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

At this point; YES. What do you expect under this economy, really? So let me get this right...the overall health of the economy changes based on the point you're trying to make? I thought your boy fixed all that. Hell, the recession is over, isn't that what you said? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

It's a bit of a stretch, but yeah, it can be; at least with regard to machines that vend food/drink. The idea being that "hopefully" it helps consumers educate themselves on the nutritional value of items at point-of-sale, like in the supermarket; and if we eat better, we'll be healthier, thus helping keep health care costs down. At least I presume that's the logic behind it. I understand the logic too. I walk up to a machine and see that Reese's cup isn't too good for me, I won't buy it. Hmm...wouldn't have known that without the label. Thank god for the nanny state! I think the truth is probably somewhere closer to...wait for it....some congressman's constituent has a company that makes the labels. Or better, has a vending machine company and knows his competition, who has over 20 vending machines, can't afford to change his machines to meet the current requirement. It's never that simple Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

But it's nothing new. It's our present, and it's our past. There has long been constant tension between compelling businesses, manufacturers, etc. to act to promote the public interest, and the business's interests, since enacting those measures usually increases costs (and thus risks decreasing profits). That was the case back when fire escapes were made mandatory after the Triangle Shirtwaist fire; it was the case when air bags and anti-lock brakes were made commonplace in automobiles, and it remains the case in the issue you feature. It's all about balancing interests - and since it's often done (or not done) by laws and government, the results of elections really do have an effect on everyone's lives. Regulations on vending machines is HC ? Seriously? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

OK...try this one... (viii) VENDING MACHINES.—In the case of an article of food sold from a vending machine that (I) does not permit a prospective purchaser to examine the Nutrition Facts Panel before purchasing the article or does not otherwise provide visible nutrition information at the point of purchase; and (II) is operated by a person who is engaged in the business of owning or operating 20 or more vending machines, the vending machine operator shall provide a sign in close proximity to each article of food or the selection button that includes a clear and conspicuous statement disclosing the number of calories contained in the article.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/subjects/politifacts-top-promises/ One would think that with congress he'd be able to get more of his promises fulfilled. End warrantless wiretaps - fail Centralize ethics and lobbying information for voters-fail Require more disclosure and a waiting period for earmarks - fail Tougher rules against revolving door for lobbyists and former officials - fail He made alot of promises...still only 1/4 of his first term is over.

For relatively rare individuals, an obsessive compulsion to believe, prove or re-tell a conspiracy theory may indicate one or more of several well-understood psychological conditions, and other hypothetical ones: paranoia, denial, schizophrenia, mean world syndrome.
