Surprising how some people (even some smart people) blame a program that is not even in effect yet for all the ills in the health care world. The problem is that people making $25K a year can run up $10K/day in health care cost..easily. Look at all the strip malls, used to be stores... now it is Pain Clinics and Dialysis Clinics and Physical Therapy facilities. The medical industry has gone wild, designing new and exotic procedures and tests. Somebody has to pay....who?
The biggest reason that GM and Chrysler when into bankruptcy was the sky rocketing health care costs for their retirees. FACT! They tried eveything but could not stop the run away health care costs. Citiy and state governments are next to falter.

Please quit being such a sheep to the talk show hosts.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
