  5. Democrats on path to repeat housing disaster With all the attention paid to the health care battle, ACORN, and the president's "Full Ginsburg" appearances on five Sunday talk shows, few people noticed a hearing with an exceedingly boring title -- "Proposals to Enhance the Community Reinvestment Act" -- held last week in the House Financial Services Committee. But the session marked a key moment in the ongoing battle between Republicans and Democrats over what caused our current financial woes -- and how we might best avoid getting into the same trouble again. At the hearing, and in others across Capitol Hill, Democratic majorities are pressing hard to expand some of the very policies that led to the reckless home lending that in turn helped lead to the great financial meltdown. If Chairman Barney Frank and his fellow Democrats have their way, we'll do it all again -- and more. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  12. Concur. And at least for the US household calculation, dogs watching TV regardless of channel selected don't count. (My cats watching TV don't either ... altho' they sleep most of the day.) /Marg But the real question is...what do you force them to watch? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  19. Hennessey holds a B.S. in Mathematics and Political Science from Stanford University as well as a Master of Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.[1] The title of his Harvard public policy thesis was Unintended Consequences: Critical Assumptions in the Clinton Health Plan. Yep...just another stoopid Harvard Grad. Wait...where did BHO go to school? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  21. There were 45.7 million uninsured people in the U.S. in 2007. Of that amount, 6.4 million are the Medicaid undercount. These are people who are on one of two government health insurance programs, Medicaid or S-CHIP, but mistakenly (intentionally or not) tell the Census taker that they are uninsured. There is disagreement about the size of the Medicaid undercount. This figure is based on a 2005 analysis from the Department of Health and Human Services. Another 4.3 million are eligible for free or heavily subsidized government health insurance (again, either Medcaid or SCHIP), but have not yet signed up. While these people are not pre-enrolled in a health insurance program and are therefore counted as uninsured, if they were to go to an emergency room (or a free clinic), they would be automatically enrolled in that program by the provider after receiving medical care. There’s an interesting philosophical question that I will skip about whether they are, in fact, uninsured, if technically they are protected from risk. Another 9.3 million are non-citizens. I cannot break that down into documented vs. undocumented citizens. Another 10.1 million do not fit into any of the above categories, and they have incomes more than 3X the poverty level. For a single person that means their income exceeded $30,600 in 2007, when the median income for a single male was $33,200 and for a female, $21,000. For a family of four, if your income was more than 3X the poverty level in 2007, you had $62,000 of income or more, and you were above the national median. Of the remaining 15.6 million uninsured, 5 million are adults between ages 18 and 34 and without kids. The remaining 10.6 million do not fit into any of the above categories, so they are: U.S. citizens; with income below 300% of poverty; not on or eligible for a taxpayer-subsidized health insurance program; and not a childless adult between age 18 and 34. http://keithhennessey.com/2009/04/09/how-many-uninsured-people-need-additional-help-from-taxpayers/ Please don't dent the planet.
