Seems the farm bill is actually a good thing. You just have to overlook a lot of stuff. Also, there was some real fine work done earlier this year in Montpelier where, among its other accomplishments
... the Legislature worked to improve on our past successes in health care reform ...
We would like to introduce House Majority Leader, Carolyn Partridge, who composed that phrase and included it here, – presumably with a straight face – to someone whose premiums for a stripped down Blue Cross policy covering a family of two, recently rose from $780 to more than $900 a month.
Any more successes like that and we'll all be ruined.

16 percent increase on our HSA's this year with no alternatives.
Sincerely,
James Ehlers

It always amazes me when legislation proposes government investing, a function of the marketplace rather than for bureaucracies. That is not their function and if Ms. Partridge does not know that, she and her ilk should not be reelected.
