No site is really able to get rid of the mindless jabs which mask actual debate, but I guess line item sensoring is a way to go to try. LOL

I just hate to watch stubborn people on both sides of the fence do something because they feel like they have to live up to getting something done or keeping from getting something done. In this case my opinion is this 2000+ page bill which I've been seeing splattered all over the news really looks like the furthering of welfare and not really a comprehensive solution which is viable today.

Does anyone know why coverage under this won't start until 2014, but the increase in funding taxes would start almost as soon as it's signed?

Some of the worst things are born out of the best intentions...

If you can take the emotion out of it, Glenn Beck is right about 75% of the time...

The "public" (government) option is the wrong way to go, putting control over something like this in the hands of the government is only going to make things worse.

Legislation for incentives for companies to provide insurance is the real start. If you tacked on limits in tort lawsuits and had companies start wellness plans and charging people who go to the emergency room every time they have a cough $150-$200 a visit you'd have a pretty good model to go on.

The root cause isn't the lack of insurance for people or people going bankrupt when a tragedy happens, its all the idiotic ER visits, and the folks who eat buffets daily, smoke and do drugs; and stupid lawsuits which kill doctors with malpractice insurance.

Change the culture to wellness and quick care/family doctor and take away the easy payday for a class action lawsuit or the like and you have a winner...

When people are employed and taking weekend trips and vacations again Vegas will return to health. That's about 6 months after the employment rate returns to a normal number. IMO it will be 4th quarter 2010 at the current pace.

Sales is the one thing I tend to look at. The price can be changed from month to month depending on what hits the market. Sales are healthy and that's really the main thing. The residual benefits of sales are:

1. Moving companies
2. Realestate Companies commissions
3. Banks are lending/investors are spending money
4. Supporting businesses like box companies, tape companies, furniture/cleaning/carpeting/paint/flooring/pool/landscaping/etc will benefit from this.

The entire economic engine is really around sales...

It will get completed. Any building in LV which has been topped off and is 70% complete will open, it's just timing.

Don't fall into the "things will stay the same" mentality most people are. When it was good it will always be good, when it's bad it will always be bad...

Around the country things are picking up and IMO 6-12 months from now LV will see a lot of stability in tourism. The real issue is immigration into that city from other states and countries. The reason LV has such a high unemployment rate is the increase in people. There are about as many jobs today as there were in 2007, you just have 10% more people. LV needs a year or two of 0 population growth to catch up.

I couldn't have put it better myself

Wonder why LV actually saw it's working population increase last month? Must not be that bgad of a place, people are moving there without jobs.

Honestly this place will be one of the last to recover, it's like the frog in the pond, get affected first by change and last to recover. Once is does it's a nice ride though. Our economy in LV revolves opposite to unemployment, once that goes down we will go up...

recovery is coming in numbers, late last year the roof fell off the increase and was in double digit slumps, we might actually have an increase in Nov-Dec...

IF you've actually tried to buy a house in the past 4 months you'd kow that the corner has been turned on prices and the market in general. Homes are priced for bidding wars and there is a lot of pent up demand in the LV market...

Honestly 36 of these 40 jobs are going to upbeat people with no skill requirements. They should have prepared by being upbeat and bubbly not the drab "poor me and our kids" routine.

Saying you will do anything sounds of desperation not a personality trait they are looking for; once you've been in the job a month how likely is that tone to change? They just don't get it.

If they really wanted to get hired they should have spoken of how they love helping people are positive and think it would be a fun and good long term opportunity. They would have also researched Pink's beforehand and been able to speak to how they fit in with the culture.

He needed to dress neat, not sloppy. I am not talking dressing like he's going for a high class job, but collared shirt that was buttoned and no wife beater for him, better fitting clothes for her. She actually looked pretty presentable.

For the other 4 positions, those will go to management like people, who have been in the position these people are now. Hopefully they did show up in a shirt and tie at least, that's the attire they probably will be wearing if they get hired.
