  1. “Turn the last car in every train into a bar and sell alcohol and munchies. Maybe they can be coffee bars in the A.M.”

    Dave, MetroNorth used to have a Bar Car, at least on the New Haven line. Don’t know if they still do. It was all very Mad Men.

    I’m liking the new use of the somewhat Shakespearean English

  3. blowfish,

    sorry but again, you are perpetuating a fallacy,
    the Republicans have clear solutions,
    they even presented them to the President in their 7 hour health-a-thon.

    he just chooses to proceed without regard for their ideas,
    without regard for the majority of Americans
    without regard for his own members of congress.

    and yes, I am saying that payrates will be decreased, if only on the back end with higher taxes.

    if someone makes 10,000 dollars a year
    and you don’t give them an increase to go with inflation then tax them more in the end.
    they are making less money.

    not only that, but Medicare is going bankrupt, scheduled for bankruptcy by 2017.
    managed by the government. not a good track record to endorse a new larger take over.

  4. Are you so miserable in your own life, Rob? That you refuse to allow room in your head for the concept that human beings should be treated reasonably well in this life? That there are certain basic elements that society might provide for?

    Much as you profess to not want to be one of ‘those’ people. You are, in fact, one of those people. You have a paycheck, you have health insurance, you have disability insurance, you pay into Social Security and Medicare, you pay taxes [sometimes], you pay bills, you have a dog and a roof over your head, and a metro card, you buy groceries, you buy clothes, and a checking account. You clean your apt. You socialize.

    You are, in fact, PART of society. [Much as this may annoy me, it’s a fact.]
