Ok, but I still need a more precise definition. I'm wondering about profit margins. Could you give me the link where you found this information?

I found that in a pdf on a government site a few days ago. I can't give you a link, as I only could quote it because I put in in an email I sent at the time.

Another thing I found there;

Quote:

Exchanges will offer a choice of plans that meet certain benefits and cost standards. Starting in 2014, members of Congress will be getting their health care insurance through Exchanges, and you will be able to buy your insurance through Exchanges, too.

Sam - You are arguing with Howard Dean, NOT ME!
He said all those things. you may now take your shitting fucking attack attitude and stick up your ass. I neither attacked nor defended anyone. Typical bullshit not worthy of a response.

Accusing us of wanting the tax cuts for the rich to be rescinded to fix the budget problems is wrong. It's because the rich are paying a lower rate than the rest of us which isn't fair. We're well aware that isn't the final solution to our fiscal bloat.

Try reading your PM's.

If you did already check them and then went ahead and posted the above anyway, oh well. At least you'll be pleased to know that I'm leaving the Cellar for an indefinate period of time.

Sam, Got it and responded.

Somehow this sounds familiar...

Boehner offers millionaire tax hike, Fox News confirms

Quote:

WASHINGTON – House Speaker John Boehner has proposed
raising tax rates on people making more than $1 million,
a source familiar with the talks told Fox News,
in a development that could signal at least some movement
toward a deal with President Obama.<snip>

Oh yeah, now I remember

Quote:

A man asks a woman if she would be willing to sleep with him if he pays her an exorbitant sum.
She replies affirmatively.
He then names a paltry amount and asks if she would still be willing to sleep with him for the revised fee.
The woman is greatly offended and replies as follows:

She: What kind of woman do you think I am?
He: We’ve already established that.
Now we’re just haggling over the price.

AP is reporting that the house of Representatives will miss the deadline to vote on any deal with respect to the fiscal cliff.

The real deadline is the 3rd, because the new Congress takes over on the 4th, which erases any bills in progress.

Of course, the new Senate would probably be able to get it to this point again rather quickly, leaving it with the House again.

Man, when TW censors himself you know things have gotten out of hand.

You know it's bad for Boehner when George Hamilton asks for his autographed bottle of Hawaiian Tropic back.

Capital Hill. Slowly they turned. Step by step. Inch by inch. They smashed them. They hit them. They lied about them in TV ads. Rivers of blood. Pools of blood. The blood!

Its been a long time since they called one another pal.

Meanwhile, who is the victim here. Not all are bald. And yet we all are only Curly.

Fiscal Cliff. Slowly we turned. Accusation by accusation. Job loss after job loss. Until suddenly 89 out of 97 found they really could agree.

Now let's go have an Alice in Wonderland tea party. Good reason why they call that the Lower House.

well, yeah...

They suck. Seriously. The fuckers.

There is only one immediate downside to going off the cliff: unemployment insurance checks may stop going out between now and a deal. Every other change can be retroactively fixed.

Now, the Democrats have even more leverage. Polls show that the nation blames the republicans for obstructing, not the democrats. We'll see a deal in the next five days, i promise you - and it'll be a deal that, while not ideal, will reflect an actual compromise, not the stupid move-the-goalposts-further-and-further-right compromise we've seen so much of lately.
