I am probably the most outspoken Republican on the benefit of unions, but you have got to be careful where they go.

They are so important in today's world vis-a-vis large public companies, multinationals.

Even $17 an hour, that is not a living wage in this day and age.

The best avoidance of a union is to treat your employees like family, pay good wages, have good benefits.

And in the area of the highest claims will this be priced into those localities in a way that that would cause the mitigation, maybe not living where whatever the climate impact is that's having the greatest effect?

You're the true variable cost in the equation.

Well in the short run, where the rubber meets the road, are premiums covering the amount of risk out there, and being able to pay the claims in a sustainable way?

So everybody will pay the price, even for something that might be localized or regional?

I think--I'm a republican that believes that we need to be in the discussion.

This administration has no plan, no plan whatsoever, to shore up social security for future generations.

Where's the President's plan to protect seniors?

From Iowa to Rhode Island our constituents collectively believe that our exploding national debt is a major problem facing America.

The Democrats have made their message loud and clear. They don't care about the fiscal problems facing us right now.

Rather than relying on federal intervention in the insurance markets, or pushing more costs onto taxpayers we should encourage more solutions from the private sector.

Something has got to give or you are going to get more Government involved in health care.
