A full repeal of Obamacare would cost $350 billion over the next decade, according to a new analysis from the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This makes its wholesale dismantling much more complicated. Obamacare was carefully crafted in 2010 so that it didn't add to the federal deficit -- in fact, it boosted revenues slightly.

If we took away Obama care it would hurt lots of people because they aren't going to have the help they need.

i think repealing it would be a terrible mistake because you just cant cut 20 million people out of insurnce.

"China has warned that it's "seriously concerned" after President-elect Donald Trump questioned whether the United States should keep its long-standing position that Taiwan is part of "one China.""

trump16, just because he says he is going to doesn't mean he will actions speak louder than words. And Trump should be more cautious and have in mind the relationship China and the US have with each other.

i agree w nate i think trump should just stay with the one china policy so he doesnt risk losing the relationship w china

"Trump travel ban: Here's what you need to know"

Trump said he was going to do these things in his campaign, but now that it's really happened people feel they need to protest everything. I think these next few years we'll have the most protest ever.

I agree with kenzie because people are taking it so far with the protesting when then knew this was going to happen when Trump became president.

The crack came after Kimmel opened the show with April Fool's Day pranks by people putting scary images in car back-up cameras. He then added without prompting, "If I were in my car and getting ready to reverse and saw Donald in the backup camera, I'm not confident which pedal I'd push."

i agree i think he should run over donald trump cause if he becomes president then the country will go to s*** and no one is going to want him to have control.

I believe that he is entitled to his own opinion, and if he wants to share his opinion then he is allowed to. Him not liking Trump is okay, but his remark about running him over or whatever is maybe a little inappropriate, not the worst thing ever, but still maybe not something to say about our potentially near future president.

The police chief of Creston, Iowa said tornado sirens didn't sound before a twister swept through town Saturday evening, damaging a hospital and community college. Chief Paul Ver Meer said there was no warning before the tornado hit around 7 p.m. "The spotters did not see it.

i think it is horrible what some people have to face. i think that communities should find some different ways that will send out warnings so everyone will have an idea when bad storms are near.

That's horrid that there were no sirens, how else would people know ahead of time?

He could have let him have some clothes on...then it wouldn't have been so bad

Oh, excuse me Kevin. I totally forgot the importance of using all of the body's muscles. How can one be a successful Ninja Warrior with out proper dispersment of muscle tone? His dad should treat him like a Spartan warrior and leave him in the mountains. He cannot return till he has the hide of a giant wolf.

I don't think that he should have did made him run through snow at all. With or without clothes on. I see this as torture and there are other ways to stay healthy and keep your immune system strong.

This is really having some political fallout for Akin's comments even within his own party... http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/08/22/ryan_called_akin_to_get_him_to_drop_race.html

This is something I've heard about for the last few days and I really wish I could tell this man how ignorant and stupid he sounds. Does he really think that's true, because if he does then there's obviously something wrong and he needs to get help.

I just wanted to point out that Todd Akin is a member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Which I think makes his statement even more ridiculous.

Summary of the address to the nation last night. Can you find items that show a Liberal ideology? Link to the full speech text can be found @ http://goo.gl/bTTr0 (with a cool Wordle) What did you guys think?

The "Buffett Rule" is one of the most interesting subjects from the speech. Raise taxes on rich, but keep taxes the same from middle and lower class. Yes, this would absolutely help America get out of debt, but I do not believe that this would help the middle/lower classes. As the writer said, they need to lower the middle/lower classes taxes to make a major change to out economic situation

So far most of what he is saying makes sense and is reasonable. I just don't think he will follow through with it, seldom do political figures accomplish what they say, how they say they will go about getting things done. He thinks the wealthier people (making $1,000,000) should pay at least 30% of taxes while the 98% of Americans that make only $250,000 a year should pay the taxes we do now, not an increased tax which simply cannot be paid by some.(The Buffett Rule)

"'Under God' part of Pledge of Allegiance under review in Massachusetts"

Why?!! Neext thing you know they will wanna take the In God we trust off the money!!

They have actually spoken on that in the past

Sad, why do people have to be so cruel

Bullying is to hard to detect now a days hard to stop

Here at our school, bullying is a big issue when basing it off of what I see on a typical day. There are students and teachers who do their best to prevent it as much as possible, but then there are some who allow it to happen without ever making any sort of attempt to stop it. I do not think that charges should be made against anyone for this case, however. To me it's like throwing a rock at nothing and expecting it to hit something. How would pressing charges do anything? How do you know that doing so would affect the people who had bullied the kid in the first place? Unless there's evidence of who committed the actions, why, and how, then I don't think that suing anyone would be justified. But, I do believe that making and enforcing more rules to target bullying would help decrease it, as well as make people more conscious of how their words and actions affect people.

President Obama will ask the Labor Department on Thursday to issue tougher rules on overtime, which could lead to extra pay for millions of workers who aren't currently paid for extra hours of work.

I like that he is going to attempt at raising overtime pay and issuing tougher enforcement for them. Most people who work overtime because they probably need to get the extra money. The only downside to this raise I currently see just from what the article stated is how there will be a possibility of the companies and businesses possibly laying off workers to keep up with their own income.

Good job, Obama!

OK I want YOUR opinions on this issue... Was it appropriate for the capital city police shoot her once her car had crashed? She had no weapon, but were they acting to protect public safety? What is your view?

No it wasn't right to do that. Yes they were trying they could of shot somewhere else on her that wouldn't of killed her but just got her to stop what she was doing.

They should have shot her in the arm or leg just to stop her but to kill her in front of her kid is wrong. But she was also wrong for bringing her child with and putting her in a dangerous situation.

"Legalizing medical marijuana will again be debated in the upcoming legislative session, though Iowa lawmakers have so far been loath to embrace a policy that is finding acceptance elsewhere."

I think they should go for it, just because it eases some symptoms for some diseases and that's good for the people suffering from those disease. So why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think it would be better for the government to legalize marijuana because we have spent millions trying to stop the distribution of the drug with nothing to show for it. The government should legalize it so instead of wasting money trying to stop it we can make money, or spend the money on more pressing matters.

wow...that's sad and not cool.They really need to make sure it's a lifethreatening deal because killing a boy holding a TOY gun ain't right.

I don't think it was right to shoot him and kill him. I wish there was another way that people could be arrested or taken down without having to use a gun. There needs to be some kind of way we could shoot something into the person to make them faint or something. So then at least someone wouldn't die, and then they could be taken in for further questioning to the reasoning of why they did what they did. This is a hard one to pick what opinion is right. I'm on both sides.

They should have went for an injuring shot and not a kill one. Maybe this young man would still be alive today.

A example of an abuse of power

A example of the police taking advantage of their power.

The police were abusing their power

"Teacher slayings in Nevada and Massachusetts this week are the latest examples of how educators feel schools are less of a traditional safe haven, especially from gun violence that killed one of the instructors, an education firm says."

This is crazy now killings start at a young age wow, 12 and 14 year olds should be thinking about hanging out with friends and stuff like that not killing people...were did the world go crazyily wrong!?

OH! I don't want to do that all school classroom have gun, if have it every one be crazy and killed each other. but hey Sarah i know right young age want to stat with gun and hang out with they friend and kill people maybe they don't have freedom that why they do it. Do you think that?

This case is NOT about the S.L.A.P.S test to decide if something is obscene (Serious Literary, Artistic, Political, Scientific value). So anyway, different sort of slap... Do you think the school reacted with an appropriate punishment?

I think they went too far for the punishment. I understand that it's bad to randomly hurt people, but expelling him is too much.

I agree that it went to far.

"a new report, which estimates that the richest 1% will have as much wealth as the other 99% combined by next year."

I think the people that are that rich and won't even notice millions of dollars gone should help the less fortunate people who will really use it for bettering themselves.

I think it's ridiculous how hard some people work to survive and take care of others. I think the people that are that rich and won't even notice millions of dollars gone should help the less fortunate people who work hard and live paycheck to paycheck.

While the Western world was watching and grieving over the slaughter in Paris last week, and my colleagues in the media were fomenting a meaningless debate about whether President Obama should have gone to Paris to participate in a televised parade, the feds took advantage of that diversion to reveal even more incursions into our liberties than we had known about.

I don't think that it's right that the government has a right to see our bills, listen to our phone calls, see our emails, etc. I think that if there isn't something that gives them a reason to suspect you they shouldn't be able to go through our stuff. In my opinion, it is absolutely ridiculous.

This problem won't be faced until the populous takes action and that may take to long for the majority to realize the problem and the violation of privacy.
