Russia plans to continue modernizing its deterrent
Our enemies are making new and better weapons while we are in unilateral disarmament mode.
Let's not start blaming politics again, enough threads on that. This was a national decision, done over many years through fair elections. The people wanted this, now they have it. No new nukes, tear down the labs, dismantle our deterrent.
God help us all.

65% subsidy for COBRA does not apply to me
Submitted Anonymously:
I spoke to Rep. Ellen Tauscher's field office today and mentioned that
the 65% subsidy for COBRA does not apply to me because I was laid off
from LLNL before the Sept. 1, 2008 window. (The subsidy of up to 9
months is part of the stimulus package.)
I learned that there are no guarantees, but letters are being
collected and packaged together from constituents, setting forth there
stories and what a subsidy would mean for them (such as, how to pay
for insurance after the 18 months of COBRA expires? Being over 50, my
rates for individual insurance are higher than as part of a group).
PLEASE help see if something can be shaken loose for those of us who
were part of a mass layoff to save a federal agency $$, and send along
your personal account to:
Rep. Ellen Tauscher
2121 N. California Blvd.
Walnut Creek, CA 94596

So, Obama's coming to visit, we are all taking a 5% pay cut, and lay-offs are nigh.
Since Dr. Miller has proven Newton's 3rd law in his previous "all-hands". Let's see what pans out this time.
