“I haven't read a single coherent argument against this. If the executive branch wants to remove special counsel, especially one investigating their own administration, the natural check (remember checks and balances? One of the fundamental aspects of our government?) is for them to have to make a ca…”

“I notice a lot of the nays confound the issue at the center of this. The government is subsidizing primarily corn farmers by mandating the inclusion of biofuels into fuels. Removing this regulation doesn't make the air less clean, and it doesn't subsidize the oil industry any more than it does other…”

“It's disheartening to read some negativity regarding this proposal. It's great to see a bi-partisan move to shore up the current system, compromise is compromise and it's realistic to expect some elements to dislike. It's far from perfect, but so is ACA, which is struggling in a variety of ways. ACA…”

“I'm upset congress has made no attempts to increase the transparency in the healthcare system. Costs for the same procedure vary wildly, often with no objective quality difference.

And though most people probably won't use the site, it will be an easy resource for journalists to review the basis behind ad claims. You can't…”

“Absolutely. The internet is the new battleground and it's important we know what the battle rules are, and make sure the world knows where our lines are. This will never be perfect, but our national defense is flawed without a comprehensive cyber warfare strategy. This is a totally different game th…”

“Maybe someone needs to be explain it to me, but if you're worried about being identified with a non-profit, maybe you shouldn't be donating to them. This isn't a government directory showing people who frequent strip clubs or sex shops or gun shows or some vice we deserve to be kept private. And if …”

“Want to see an example of over regulation by the federal government? Here you go. Major League Baseball doesn't need protection, they are in no danger of insolvency. What this does is prevent players from negotiating for a better salary. It is anti-capitalistic. Read the details, this isn't about sm…”

“It seems like the necessary language already exists to potentially prosecute terrorists for treason, so I'm not sure this is adding anything, but I'm in support of the general idea and suspicious of and broad definition which makes it easy for the government to deport political dissidents.
