~By George Brett ~
I talked to a lot of employers who just are, are fearful of what's coming next out of Washington. It's all the spending, it's all the debt.

~By John Boehner ~

~By Ivan Illich ~
The high price of health care in this country is a serious issue that demands serious attention. Putting limits on damages have little or no effect on skyrocketing malpractice insurance rates.
~By Mary Landrieu ~
