Andreas asks:
"Does that answer your questiosn?"

Thank you for such an in depth response.  I'll never accuse you of not answering a question (which admittedly mine were more rhetorical than addressed to anyone in particular).
You obviously know way more than me about this issue and I agree with you about most things that I know about.
You're probably being facetious when you said the Chinese will be paying for the $250 senior giveaway (not the kind where they give seniors away:)
We all know who will have to pay back the Chinese (with interest) at some point, and its not the seniors getting the handout.
Apart from all the deals they had to make to get this bill passed, the unanimous partisan nature of the passage, and of course the INSURANCE MANDATE (which pisses a lot more than right wingers off (I'm more aligned with dems than repubs so I don't want to see them in power again)) I guess there are certain things I like about it.
I can't say I blame governors for doing what they can to stop some of its provisions.
I wish they would do the same for drug laws, in particular, similar to what they've done with the recent challenge to firearms manufacturing, and say we don't agree with prohibition of growing hemp, we are going to let our farmers grow it because with think the benefits outweigh the costs, so there.
Something Rep. Trail has been trying to get the state to do for years.
States should exert their power to challenge stupid and damaging federal laws.  Perhaps Idaho's challenge to the health insurance mandate will encourage challenges in other areas...
