and i am all for national health care.

I am to that point as well, but this is going to be a huge effort to tackle. Something the current administration has never agreed to get after. Kerry promised it, but has no clue what it actually takes. In fact, I doubt any democratic candidate will run with that either.

there is no reason in the world that one doctor charges more then another for the same procedure.

Why is it when I bought my radar detector one sold it for $225, one sold it for $250 and one sold it for $325? There were several in the middle too. We live in a free country, and those doctors are free to charge what they want. Think of it as a retail store. While I agree it sucks, there is nothing that can be done about it, and to use that as an excuse to dislike the president...well every president in history has failed then cause it's been like this since we became a country.

as far as the alternative fuel, the closest one to me is about 15 miles.

At least there are some...it's heading in the right direction. (albeit slowly)

how about taking the tax cuts that the big oil companies are getting, and invest it into the ethanol, solar, and wind powers?

100% agree. I understand those companies helped Bush win the election, and you don't shun your friends, but we need a bigger effort on alternative fuels. That is the one area I wish I could change about the current administration.

and another thing about the tax break. its a retread way to promote your agenda. doesn't do a whole lot to stimulate the economy, and was used by Regan in the late seventies, and did nothing then, either

Umm, ok, I'm going to point out some issues here. 1- Reagan was the 80's, and his decade was widely regarded as the best economic decade in history. 2- Bush has been in charge as part of the best economy in decades, and best interest rates in history. 3- Bush went through the budget and found wasted money and gave it back to the people. There is no doubt that the next dem. president will raise taxes, and significantly.
