WHO THE VOTERS ARE

The results of the 2010 US Census (questionnaires will be mailed in March) will not only determine the shape of the House of Representatives in 2012 — it will tell us what the cultural, ethnic, social, economic and demographic make-up of the United States of America will look like for years to come. Peter Francese is a demographic analyst who has been forecasting decennial census trends for the past 40 years. Here are the biggest shifts he predicts will be shown by 2010 Census:

* There will be 70 million grandparents in America by 2010, compared to 47 million in 1990. The recession, which has hit younger workers hardest, has resulted in more multi-generational living arrangements, with those 55 and over having the most disposable income and economic growth.

Don’t know how they’ll get the votes for amnesty. If, and that’s a big if, some version of socialized medicine passes it’s way through Congress and is signed I can’t see where the political capital is going to come from for such a major push. A vast majority of Americans are against both of these proposals in an election year. This would be nothing short of political suicide in my opinion.

Hey, universal dental care may be next on horizon!

I take my 85 year old sweet mother to the Dentist, my mother is a veteran.One day,actually on 2 different occasions,the dentist yelled at his nurses because they failed to remind him that my mother was a veteran. He did not care that she was a veteran for any holy reason, only that her insurance did not pay the big money for the works he would like to bill for, much of it not even needed imho. Imagine universal dental care, now that would really bankrupt the country.
