Why do American legislative bills all have to have catchy names, based, I can only assume on some convoluted acronym.

"Dream Act" will be the name of Nintendo's new console. No doubt about it.

How about an act to help normal people afford college? It seems like over the past few years almost every demographic has gotten some "break" except for normal hard working middle class people...

don't really ever acknowledge macedonia democrats reelect everyone's awful memories don rickles ends america's miscarriages i know what you mean. the income thresholds are comically low, too. i'm glad that those in extreme poverty get a chance at an education, but it should be about equality. all classes should have access to education.

I should clarify, I did not mean to say I disagree with the act or disagree with helping make college possible for that demographic, I just think that the cost of education is out of control (and competition for grants and scholarships is insane) not just for those who are impoverished or undocumented.

Right? Because we know you and so many others would just line up to help others.

The issue in here is not about giving preference to different ethnic groups, it is about the US government putting a barrier to bright and capable minds that will not be able to do their valuable and needed work in the long run. |

They're not healthcare review boards, they're death panels. It's not the Affordable Care Act, it's Obamacare. Republicans get optics and selling ideas to their pitchfork-weilding base, Democrats get walked all over. |

![]() Both parties engage in extensive behind-the-scenes get out the vote / make voting harder / redistricting stuff. It's an accepted part of US politics. But I was not referring to any of that with my post. I was referring to optics and debate-framing, though, which the GOP is much more adept at. |

Just wondering where in the US Constitution the president is granted the authority to make law independent of the legislature when he deems it necessary?
Or where he is granted the authority to redefine U.S. citizenship with regard to who may, or may not, reside here legally. Anyone? |

Even some of the right wing AM radio wackos are agreeing with Obama today and saying that Republicans should have done this awhile ago. |

No problem really with what's being done. I simply have a problem with the way it was done.
