So tell me Dude. Why is the Obama administration afraid to go directly to the Supreme Court? Could it possibly be that they know it's against the Constitution and the longer they prolong a final ruling the more money they can rake in without having to justify it.

I was in the navy over 10 years. 7 of those were on a Leather neck transport. I have the utmost respect for the Marines. Never met one while I was in no matter what their background ever say or do anything derogatory toward another Marine or the Corps itself.

This looser will pay and it won't be pretty.

Oops did I just say that.

They don't want more. They will probably just discharge him after a few days in the brig so he can get back to his nefarious ways. I can't see him being put in Leavenworth. Someone there will have his nuts on a platter in a matter of minutes.

This country is and has been all but dead for the last couple of decades. Were just watching the huge multi train wreck in super slow motion. It's getting there.

I would venture to say that there are a roughly equal amount of that action from both sides. I would also venture to say that when a woman get's to the point of guns and fists they are even more dangerous than a man.

RE: Debtor's Prison

As with any debt once a person ceases to be then the debt is either paid with proceeds from the estate or wiped out. But until that fateful day your on the hook for what you owe.

RE: Debtor's Prison

America's new debtor prison: Jail time being given to those who owe.

Debtors prisons were federally abolished in the United States in the 1800's, yet in certain states, they seem to be making a comeback. Out of Minnesota come disturbing reports of Americans being thrown in jail due to outstanding bills -- sometimes for as little as $85. The Star-Tribune of Minneapolis profiles a number of people who say their debts got them jailed, including Joy Uhlmeyer a 57-year-old patient care advocate who was pulled over on her way home from visiting her elderly mother and put in jail for a night for missing a court hearing about unpaid debt.

The Star-Tribune reviewed the state's court documents and found that arrests like Uhlmeyer's are up 60% in Minnesota over the past four years. And Minnesota isn't the only state where this is happening. It's a turn of events Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director at advocacy group U.S. Public Interest Research Groups (or PIRG), calls a "very bad situation for consumers." Mierzwinski attributes the practice to "bottom-feeder debt collectors are very aggressive."


People who are imprisoned for their debts are technically locked up for contempt of court after failing to appear for a hearing pertaining to their debt. It's a legal loophole that debt-collection companies are increasingly using. Here's how it works: First, the collections company files a lawsuit against the debtor, which requires them to appear in court. If the debtor doesn't show up, the creditor wins a default judgment against them. This allows them to ask the court to schedule another hearing at which the judge can go through the debtor's assets and determine if actions such as wage garnishments or bank account seizures can take place.



United States

In 1833 the United States abolished Federal imprisonment for unpaid debts, and most states outlawed the practice around the same time. Before then, the use of debtor's prisons was widespread; signatories to the Declaration of Independence, James Wilson and Robert Morris were both later incarcerated, as were 2,000 New Yorkers annually by 1816. Henry Lee III, better known as Light-Horse Harry Lee, a Revolutionary War general, former governor of Virginia, and father of Robert E. Lee, was imprisoned for debt between 1808 and 1809. Sometimes, imprisonment would result from less than sixty cents' worth of debt.

Six states (Arkansas, Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Washington) allow debt collectors to seek arrest warrants for debtors in default if all other collection methods have failed. Whether a debtor will actually be prosecuted or not varies from state to state, county to county, and town to town. The individual is taken into custody and is typically required to submit financial documentation to the courts (to facilitate seizure of assets or wage garnishment), although in some cases the individual may be held indefinitely until a payment plan is reached or the debt is paid in full, especially if the individual is insolvent. Other states have outlawed this type of collection action (Tennessee and Oklahoma have ruled it unconstitutional). unless the court finds that the debtor actually possesses the means to pay—except in the case of child support obligations.

Most state constitutions, including Minnesota's, have clauses dating to the 1850s that expressly prohibit the jailing of people for their debts. Some people make the claim that it is unconstitutional in the United States to incarcerate someone solely for failing to pay a debt. However, there is little settled law on this matter and plenty of precedent for de facto debtors' prisons.

Dude

I live it every day. Saying that I'm not telling the absolute truth and spouting the Republican crap is wrong. The VA is the government at work. I have no reason to lie and I certainly don't go spouting off Republican drivel.

I think I'll pass on tweeting the twatter. I'm sure it's some dem slime ball just itching to get me to donate to the party.

My State has no control over or say in the VA health care system.

So it's one of those we don't have all the information to forma a rational basis. Sounds like our gov. to be wishy washy on the pertinent details.

Good post but have one question.

RE: Obama wants a fair health care coverage for all americans... why GOP attacks this honorable goal?

While the Obama Administration halts deportations to work on its secret amnesty plan, hospitals across the U.S. are getting stuck with the exorbitant tab of medically treating illegal immigrants and some are finally demanding compensation from the federal government.

The group that represents most of the nation’s hospitals and medical providers recently urged President Obama to work with Congress to reimburse them for the monstrous cost of treating illegal immigrants. Federal law requires facilities to “treat and stabilize individuals” regardless of their immigration status, but federal support for the services remains “virtually nonexistent,” according to a letter submitted by the American Hospital Association to the president.

This week officials in California, the state with the largest concentration of illegal immigrants, joined the call for federal compensation after revealing that hospitals there spend about $1.25 billion annually to care for illegal aliens. The figure skyrocketed from $1.05 billion in 2007, according to California Hospital Association figures quoted in a local news report.

The problem will only get worst, according to officials, who say the $1.25 billion for 2010 could actually be higher. They complain that federal law forces them to treat patients in emergency rooms regardless of immigration status yet they get stuck with the financial burden. This has forced many hospitals to curtail services or close beds and could ultimately compromise healthcare.

Nationwide, U.S. taxpayers spend tens of billions of dollars annually to provide free medical care for illegal immigrants with states that border Mexico taking the biggest hit. Adding to the problem is the fact that Mexico, the country that provides the largest amount of illegal immigrants in the U.S., has long promoted America’s generous public health centers. It even operates a Spanish-language program (Ventanillas de Salud, Health Windows) in about a dozen U.S. cities that refers its nationals—living in the country illegally—to publicly funded health centers where they can get free medical care without being turned over to immigration authorities.


And a Citizen get's hammered with bills even if they can't pay.

RE: Obama wants a fair health care coverage for all americans... why GOP attacks this honorable goal?

It already comes from property taxes and sales taxes on items purchased. Which by the way when a foreclosure happens the bank doesn't pay the property taxes there by depriving the government of the needed money.

If bummer has his way we will all be working for a paycheck of negative numbers.

RE: The Engagement Ring

Ready for any occasion I see.

RE: The Engagement Ring

Let's put it this way.

You decide to go and make the big plunge. You go spend a couple thousand bucks and buy a ring. You profess your love for the other and ask for him to marry you. Now some time goes by and you think things are going smoothly.

The next day the other person say's I'm not sur I really want this and says bye. Now your out 2k plus the time invested in something you thought was a done deal. Would you just walk away and say piss on it who cares. Or would you want the one item back that did financially cost you hard sweat to obtain as a dowry to get started?

I personally think of it as a dowry and in no way is it a gift. Remember dowry's used to be given and if it didn't happen then the dowry was returned.

That is a better way of looking at it as a dowry.
