It cost 670 Million Dollars which is more than Facebook, PPRuNe,instagram, and google combined

Google has on occasion spent more than that on capital expenditure in one quarter.

No Harry, that is not democracy.

Democracy is when all eligible parties participate equally in the proposal, development, and creation of a law through debate and negotiation.

In the case of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamcare, it was developed behind closed doors by one political party with no input from any other party. Other political parties were specifically excluded.

It was also rammed through without being read by anyone in the House or Senate, on an inappropriate procedure by Democrats to ensure they got the party line votes they needed.

That is not democracy, and that is why we are seeing increasing civil disobedience against this tyrannical government.

Now people are seeing it for what it is, there is growing dissatisfaction amongst citizens. Reports are now coming in that a family of 4 applying for insurance through the Obamacare exchanges are receiving quotes of $1000 per month with $12,000 deductible. And that is for the basic coverage.

That is ridiculous.

This is supposed to be a military aircrew forum
Military Aircrew A forum for the professionals who fly the non-civilian hardware, and the backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground. Army, Navy and Airforces of the World, all equally welcome here.


Everyone of us posting here qualify as "Military Aircrew".

The real complaint is we are not "British Military Aircrew" as I see it.

If we were arguing RAF PVR policies you would have no whine about the argument would you?

Did I or any Non-Brit ever suggest you take it to Jet Blast UK Politics?

The real complaint by people like myself is that this thread has no links to military avaition bar indirect funding issues. Most of its content has nothing to do with avaition whatsoever.

How plain is that?

Yup. Willy waving by a bunch of neocons. Talk about how this affects US military aviation, or can it as irrelevant.

Bringing back the Clangers is more relevant to an aviation website

Bring back the Clangers
I thought that all the clangers had all been dropped by the previous Government?

This morning Baroness Hayman tabled a question in the House.

"to ask Her Majesty’s Government what measures they are taking to support the introduction of "golden rice" to help alleviate childhood blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency."

This is a very pressing health issue and sadly some of those poor children will not develop good enough eyesight to become military aircrew.

Talking of UK Politics, I see everyone is up in arms over the heavily pregnant EQUALITIES minister having to stand in Parliament and that no MALE MP offered her a seat

My point was that this thread has, so far, got FA to do with military aviation.

I guess the spams may not be able to appreciate the irony of my last 2 posts, even though I had, so I thought, stuffed them under their noses with lots of clues.

Maybe subtlety isn't their strength.
