Why not pass a health care reform bill?
The health care reform bill that Obama's has proposed seem more beneficiary to those who needed the most, after watching his speeches and reading articles on what he has to say, it seems like what has proposed makes sense. For my generation who to me are suffering more from this recession, because of the lack of jobs that are out there and for the jobs that's out there to offer some kind of insurance for those who's not in school or for those who's in school but are not consider as dependents any more, gives an opportunity to get some kind of insurance. For other retired people who just living off social security, retirement checks, disability, or any other source of income, most can't afford the high plans and high medicines even with medicare. This in my opinion should have been made priority to fix even Clinton consider a new health care reform bill seventeen years ago, this has build up like everything else the government has allowed to build up to where its become a problem. Speaking for myself and other poor Americans this should past, it saves us little money we already have to put out and for the high middle class and rich who most seems against it because you're getting a little tax think about those without tax it can help those can't afford it. In my opinion health care deserves more attention and financial support then financing this war or whatever it may be, in years this hurt me as far as financially, but I believe if there are more people cover it prevent certain illnesses from being spreading or just aware of it. Its going to tax does who are middle class and up with families but people without jobs with families would hurt worst and people get sick and died or just not knowing if you're affecting with anything can cause a hazardous enviroment.

Why is the national security so weak?
The story that really applies that this might be true, has to be the attempt on Christmas day by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who attempted to take down the northwest airlines landed in Detroit by placing a bomb in his pants to blow up the plane. Even being suspected of being a part of a terrorist group and having his visa application rejected, still their was no way to prevent him of this tragedy that could have happen. Warnings from his father telling the U.S. embassy one month before stating "My son is around bad people who could be plotting an attack ," should have been a huge red flag. I mean this man was in Detroit as cold as it is without a coat to me that's suspicious enough and no luggage, what other signs is needed. I'm not for judging anybody for what they have on or how they look because as a black man knowing that feeling of being judge and label is ludicrous, even worse for people who practice this religion but doesn't believe in hurting people are getting stereotype on a daily basis for a group of people's wrong doings. You would think because of previous attacks and attempted conspiracy's attacks the national security would be more prepare for such a senseless act like this, especially when our terror alert red just a few years ago. I think you can blame the people was working that day for not being more alert and also the policy's we have in place, maybe its not secure of enough, or being cheap on funding it because profits are going to economic issues we have going on. Either way something has to be done, I have never took a plane but this affects me even if it never hits home because if attacks keep happening and it apposes that we have a weakness for protecting our country and opens potential new problems. Why is our national security so weak right now?With new policies they plan on putting in, will it make flying into nervously strict experience.
