You think like a true American...thank you.
There is a social contract our founders built this country on...all these selfish navel gazers bleating about entitlements and wealth transfer obviously are not bright enough to understand if everyone has health care we pay less in the long run. (not access, actual health care)
It is blood money. I personally am in a doughnut hole myself, single dad raising two daughters and paying for health care for all three of us. Too much income for subsidies, not enough for tax help.
Jefferson stated we have a right for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the Declaration of Independence, no access to health care does not allow for any of those three promises. | 0 | not toxic |
Human beings are a higher level of creation than animals because we are made in the image of God. "Death with dignity" is tantamount to suicide, which is a sin because it is a desperate act of despair, denying all hope for the future, and killing the godlikeness in man. Palliative care is so advanced now that patients who live in advanced countries like the United States can be spared the pain and suffering that the poor masses of developing countries must endure when they are at death's door. | 0 | not toxic |
At the end of the day the most zealot is the god fearing person who actually believes in the deeds he does himself is catered to the 'almighty' or man's creation -. Therefore, whatever those deeds may be from the believer is a roll of the dice whether it be good or bad or dare i say an atrocity. So the moral of the story is: Fear the god fearing person. | 0 | not toxic |

Regardless of the merits of the Juneau road project, one fact sticks out. DOT has consistently underestimated its costs, and has been very slow to update cost projections for construction and maintenance of the road.
First of all, the last DOT cost estimate for the project, which is already obsolete, was $574 million, not the $552 million in the op-ed. $22 million may be chump change to some, but not to me.
Second, at one time during the project "planning," the cost of ferries dedicated to run between the end of the new road and Haines and Skagway were appropriately included in the project costs. Then, when the Alaska Class ferry was initially designed to be able to serve the entire AMHS service area, the ferry costs were deleted. Then a re-design occurred, and the new ferries will be Juneau Access day boats only; their costs have never been added back to the project, however.
Bottom line: It is closer to a $1 billion project in today's dollars. | 0 | not toxic |
And there's more to governing than boosting the economy. Nor is it even firmly established that Trump's reign will boost the economy. Cutting taxes can boost the economy but not if it leads to massive cuts to spending. Government spending also contributes to growth: the United States' post-war economic boom was supported to a great extent by government spending on infrastructure, for instance.
Then there's the sheer volatility of Trump. As a businessman he showed he could be mercurial to say the least. And he's definitely dictatorial in his management style. Not clear that is going to translate well to democratic government. He may not be able to get anything done.
Then there's all the belligerent rhetoric on international affairs and immigration. He's a bull in china shop. Chaos as a governing principle is not a productive way to conduct international affairs.
But sure, IF the US economy does well, we MAY enjoy the benefits. Of course, he may also go to trade war with us too. | 0 | not toxic |

Chin is stating reasons particular to Hawaii and the fact that there are DACA students in Hawaii schools is a good reason. The lawsuit itself will be based on constitutional and legal breaches that will occur if DACA is terminated by the President's order. The issues are based on the legality of termination under the Federal Administrative Practices Act, and whether termination of rights granted under DACA violates due process, equal protection, and rights granted under contract with US (in exchange for promises and information given by DACA participants). | 0 | not toxic |

Great comment respectfully GEORGE CARLSON, California had to give taxpayers IOU's on money they owed back to taxpayers! One of the biggest expenses and causations? Under-funded public pensions!
In my opinion which is a bit different than yours, time to separate their pensions from the taxpayer's pockets! Let them make choices in setting up their own retirements in the private sector, then have the deductions sent to their choice. It's too costly to taxpayers, the liabilities to great if they fail, let them share the same risks and rewards that private pensioners have. | 0 | not toxic |
Then you have not been paying attention...the Cuban dictatorship has been supporting the Venezuelan dictatorship which had been supporting the Cuban dictatorship with its oil which itself is increasingly under Putin's control via Rosneft which has been providing the hard currency required to keep the Venezuelan dictatorship afloat.

I don't mind that, as long as every pays the same amount no matter one's financial situation. Also having the poor having the same medical attention as the Rich, meaning the Rich not getting more medical attention than the poor.
We all know the Rich can afford it and more because of their wealth and they'll settle on a deal where the middle class would bear the brunt of the premium and where they'll lose more medical services because of paying more to cover the poor.
Socialized Medicine is okay if EVERYONE Rich, middle class, poor receive the exact same medical attention and NO xtra coverage who has the money to do so. | 0 | not toxic |

A “moderate” war crisis, by my definition, would include any regional conflict between the United States and an intermediate power like Iran, or a great power like China, say in the South China Sea.

Young, Have you any experience in the private sector? There efficiency rules the day. Efficiency translates the profit. On the other hand, the public sector (government) is concerned most with increasing employment, patronizing labor unions and reelection. If the state ran an oil company employment would increase 3-4 times what it is now. Profit and efficient operation would be non-existent. The cost of production would make it impossible for Alaska to sell oil it extracted. Do you remember; The Healy Clean Coal Power Plant, the Anchorage Seafood Processing Center, Port MacKenzie, Point MacKenzie dairy farms, or Delta Junction barley? All great examples of what happens when government enters what would otherwise be private sector endeavors. Need more evidence; since the price of oil plummeted the oil companies have shed thousands of jobs. Alaska has a $4 billion deficit but cannot bring itself to do deal with its bloated and inefficient workforce. Why, because somebody else pays. | 0 | not toxic |

Thank you for a decent editorial, Globe.
It's true Harper did the right thing (really, as in this case, the only thing possible) in compensating Maher Arar. It's VERY sad that the same government couldn't seem to see past their own prejudice to do the right thing for Khadr. Instead they milked Khadr for the profitable contributions and votes from their base. Sad, really.
I doubt anyone, including Khadr, is happy with this case -- but Harperites trying to make it an issue with which to bash the current Liberal government is indeed, odious.
The issues are varied but fundamentally, it is regarding the duty of our federal government to abide by the laws of our own country and to protect our own citizens. | 0 | not toxic |
Trump wishes Comey good luck? Why does he need luck he is just being asked to state what was said. It is the investigative committee that will take the statement and combine it with whatever other information they have and then consider whether to impeach or explore other options.

I teach sales at a liberal arts university and have plenty of real world experience to bring to my lectures. I also bring in salespeople who enhance the material in class. I also conduct research on relationship selling and add to the content in text books and practitioner articles. The two worlds are very compatible and research (Heinze, 2008; Fogel, Hoffmeister, Rocco and Strunk, 2012) indicates that when students take just one sales class that.....The learning curve is 50% times faster when going into a selling job, they are 35% less likely to be terminated, tenure with the company is 40% longer than salespersons with no university training, and each hire with a sales education saved the manufacturer $175,000 over a hire without one.

We should probably distinguish between talk of "scrapping" that Pres. Trump, in his characteristic bombastic fashion, uses for rhetorical purposes, and what we end up with. It may well be that upon re-examination, a significant portion of what was originally in it is reinstated, because it works acceptably to all parties.
