Today they are talking up an obesity penalty of 3 cents a can.

Following a full CBS Evening News story on the obesity report, anchor Katie Couric set up a story on the tax idea: “Now, some believe another way to help pay for health care reform is to put a tax on one of the causes of obesity: soft drinks full of sugar. Nancy Cordes has more on that.” Cordes began: “Americans consume roughly 250 more calories everyday than they did in the '70s and half those calories come from sugary drinks, which is why some health advocates are urging Congress to help pay for health care reform with a tax on non-diet sodas...”

Congress has the authority to tax and take the money and spend it in defense. Now they cut defense and are spending on banks where I can't find the authority.

Your name calling tells us something is wrong. Maybe your pastor can help you. You need some self control.

If you had 10,000 dollar phone bills in a month and Telemate software to track phone costing, it would be easy to see what is what.

How are we coming on rain? Want a deluge?
