HoustonChronicle.com - One out of four Bubbas in Texas lack health insurance

Little surprise to those who follow the rising costs of health insurance in the US. It won't be long before Bill Clinton's largely condemned attempt to introduce legislation on universal health care will be cited as "visionary". In reality, it didn't take a lot of vision to see it coming, but it did require a lot of attention to the facts to get around the AMA's and the Medias' big lies.

Speaking of big lies, from the same article:

"Americans' disposable incomes, or what's left after taxes, also rose 0.9 percent in August after a 1.5 percent jump the previous month. The government credited the increase to President Bush's tax cut, which lowered federal tax withholding. "

Yep, disposable incomes jumped, but only for the very rich. Everyone else, especially the newly unemployed, lost bigtime. Too bad the chron was too Bubba to point this one out.
