10)Health care bill to be passed in a responsible manner. Health care is one of the most important things affecting America. We cannot have a Republican attitude of ignoring this threat, nor can we have the Democrats manner of just getting a bill passed.

9)Terror to me quashed. The recent terrorist miss by the Nigerian tells us that the threat is still there. We must take it by the horns. We must succeed in Afghanistan. Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea and especially Pakistan too are other high risk areas to watch out for.

8)Financial reforms to be passed. We experienced a 2009 of recovery. But we must learn from our mistakes or we would have a lot more 2008 than we have to. Lets regulate Credit Default Swaps, short selling and other forms of derivatives. If these do not go unchecked, we can expect to pay a price.

7)Banking reform to be passed. Banking, together with the housing sector was what ultimately crumbled the economy. Casino banking should only happen with the banks’ own money! We cannot allow banks to gamble around with our savings to the point the government have to bail them out to secure our money!

6)Lets get immigration reform. For God’s sake, lets have fortifications along our both our borders! What are we, sub Saharan Africa where we have no money to build a proper fence or a wall? Common! Also lets just throw the illegal immigrants back to Mexico, rather than paying for them to be in jail.

5)Look after our environment! There are many IDIOTS out there that doubt global warming just like they doubt that the Earth is billions of years old and not thousands. Just because we are experiencing a cold snap right now, it does not mean that the temperature is not rising. That does not mean that we should tax on Carbon; we need regulations. We need the trees back and we need regulations that would make emissions lower rather than taxing that.

4)UNITED states of America; not Conservatistan or Liberaland. Please, lets have the Governor Jesse Ventura spirit amongst us. Lets not give a crap about unions or small government. Lets just do what is right!

3)Control our debt!!!! We are having a $11 trillion national debt, a vast majority of it which we accumulated in the last 30 years. We need to get it done. Lets spend where we need to and cut it in cases where we do not. Let the Bush tax cuts expire please, for the sake of our future generations.

2)Lets start manufacturing again. We need to start making things again in America. Else we are going to have a turbulent, jobless future. Lets start with green jobs please! That is the kind of job that would never leave!

1)America resurges again! I am sick and tired of people saying China and India are surging and future big shots. Do you know what? We put them there! I challenge America right now, that we would be the economy that the world turns to.

You’re afraid your cancer is back, and a health insurance company just turned you down. Under the health care bills in Congress, you could apply for coverage through a new high-risk pool that President Barack Obama promises would immediately start serving patients with pre-existing medical problems. Wait a second. Advocates for people with serious health problems, as well as some insurance experts, are raising questions about one of the most important upfront benefits in the Democratic health care legislation: a high-risk pool for the medically uninsurable.

Obama proposed the pool in his September health care speech to Congress. Now, concerns are being raised about the design of the high-risk pools. The money would be used to help people in poor health pay premiums.

Obama credits his Republican presidential rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, for the risk-pools idea. The six-month wait is in the health care bill the Senate Finance Committee approved last month. “If you are somebody with cancer or a heart condition who needs immediate coverage and immediate treatment, that’s not very helpful,” said Karen Pollitz, a Georgetown University health policy professor.

Both the House and the Senate Finance bills set aside $5 billion for the pools.

If the Democrats’ risk pool starts running out of money, the government may have to start a waiting list, raise premiums or take other unpopular measures.
