I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say it is highly unlikely the rumor is true, in my honest opinion (IMHO). And here's why.  read more (Source: Healthcare IT News Blog) Healthcare IT News Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4670200 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 20:30:28 +0100 4670200 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4560243&cid=t_104587_87_f&fid=36438&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FCato-at-liberty%2F%7E3%2F0sBRHIxHDoU%2F By Malou InnocentRasmussen reports that 52% of Americans want U.S. troops home from Afghanistan within a year, up from 43% last fall. Of course, polls are ephemeral snapshots of public opinion that can fluctuate with the prevailing political winds; nonetheless, it does appear that more Americans are slowly coming to realize the "aimless absurdity" of our nation-building project in Central Asia.  Earlier today (HT: HuffPo's Amanda Terkel), former Republican senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe": "I don't think we can afford Afghanistan much longer.” He continued: "The simple fact is that it's costing us. Good people are losing their lives there, and we're losing huge amount of resources there ... So I think we should have a timeframe for getting out of Afghan...

INDIVIDUAL TAX CHANGES – PRO Scraps the alternative minimum tax. Cuts the number of rates from six to three. Reduces the tax subsidy for municipal bonds. Creates Lifetime Savings Accounts (LSAs)–like Roths IRAs except better because all withdrawals are tax-free. This is a very important reform, and by the way, one that Canada has enacted already. See here. INDIVIDUAL TAX CHANGES – CON Keeps the top tax rate at 35 percent, which is quite a bit higher than the 28 percent achei...

The plan would get fast-tracked through Congress for a vote and “everything would be on the table.” For taxpayers, this idea creates the threat of large tax increases on top of all the other tax increases being discussed in Congress. While the senators supporting a Task Force express valid concerns about the government’s exploding debt, the plan could launch a drive to impose a European-style value-added tax in America. In theory, such a Task Force could come up with some meaty and long-overdue cuts to the federal budget. But nine of the se...

MitchellLegislation being considered on Capitol Hill would create a supposed deficit reduction commission. If politicians were bound by truth-in-advertising, this proposal would be called a tax increase commission. It creates a mechanism that will — at best — replicate the 1982 and 1990 budget summits, both of which were fiscal disasters from the perspective of those who favor limited government. The inevitable result of a “bipartisan” process is a 50/50 deal of “spending cuts” and “tax increases,” but the spending cuts are off the “baseline” (which assumes spending goes up), so even if the changes are real (and they rarely are), they are merely reductions in increases. The tax increases, meanwhile, are real and come ...

One gimmick makes the new entitlement spending appear smaller by not opening the spigot until late in the official 10-year budget window (2010–2019).  Correcting for that gimmick in the Senate version, Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) estimates, “When all this new spending occurs” — i.e., from 2014 through 2023 — “this bill will cost $2.5 trillion over that ten-year period.” Another gimmick pushes much of the legislation’s costs off the federal budget and ont...

So lets see...I have been writing for The Cardio Blog for a little over a month now and I love it. Living healthy and doing what I can to stay healthy as I grow older is becoming more important to me every day as it becomes all too obvious that the world around us isn't a very healthy place most of the time! And considering heart disease is the #1 killer of women in this country it seems worth learning about and working to prevent, you know?Other than that I'm not sure what else to say -- I live in the beautiful Midwest, I also write for That's Fit on health and fitness, and my absolutely favorite heart-healthy habit is walking with my dog.

I learned all about this topic during my visit to Tucson's Canyon Ranch -- a world renowned health and healing destination -- and this sweet lesson came right as I'd decided to rid my diet of as much sugar as possible. Learning that one can of soda houses 12 teaspoons of sugar and a typical container of fruit yogurt has eight sealed the refined sugar deal for me. No more, I say. It's just not worth it.Now here comes the lowdown on fat. Some say the fat we eat is the fat we wear. Perhaps. But one thing is for sure -- fat kills.
