China's Smoking

Smokin' away!

It seems that America is under a new Red Scare.  This time, it's about China.

Politicians from Obama to Bohner feel that China is getting ahead of America.  Just from last week's State of the Union address Obama incited this motivation that we need to do big things.

Now to calm those pessimists, China has a smoking problem.  Economist and health experts predict that an estimated of 2 million people will die each year from tobacco-related problems in China.  By 2030, that could rise to 3.5 million per year.

According to the article, there are more than 300 million smokers in China.  That's a lot of wasted productivity.  If each smoker wastes about an hour smoking each day, that would be over 101 billion man-hours lost of productivity each year.

Sorry China, but that's a lot of wasted time.

They are statements about Obama's plan with make if more affordable, but McCain's will make it even more affordable by having the insurance companies compete over state lines.

This cool interactive shows, that well, McCains plan is cheaper for more of the poor, middle, and rich classes than Obama's.

McCain's Healthcare

McCain's health care plan consists of a $5000 tax credit. This credit would be paid for with a tax of health care benefits of large corporations.

This would help even the playing field and benefit both the small and large businesses.

The smaller businesses would be able to get away from solely supplying their employees with health care. They will be able to afford more employees and in result grow the economy.

The larger businesses will also benefit from this policy brought to you be Senator McCain. This plan gives the employee the ability to CHOOSE if he would like to have that plan supplied, or another cheaper or more covered plan and cross state lines to get that kind of coverage.

Did McCain Seal the Deal?

No.

Did he lick and prime the deal?

O yes he did.

He brought out good arguments about Obama's tax plans, education plans, and other plans. He brought out "guilt by judgement."

He came out punching and defended that he had repudiated the republicans behavior, but Sen. Obama has not done the same for his crazy supporters. He did not for those he falsied his health, his tax and healthcare plans, and others calling him racist!
