You observe that sometimes, repressing protesters work, and they protestors disperse and at least for awhile the problem goes away. But other times, repression backfires, making the protestors angry and increasing their resolve. (As currently seems to be happening in Ukraine.) And, you figure out why this happens--basically, a pretty good guide for when (and how much) to repress protests. This information of course would be quite useful to authoritarian regimes. Do you publish?

Back in August 2013, Young Invincibles, in partnership with the Department of Health and Human Services, launched the Healthy Young America Video Contest, an effort to mobilize young people to help educate and inform one another about the Affordable Care Act. Participants submitted their videos, the public weighed in, and a finalist was selected in each of three categories: "You Are Not Invincible," original song performance, and animation.

Erin McDonald was announced as the overall Grand Prize winner with her video "Forget about the Price Tag" in a Google+ Hangout featuring Kal Penn and White House Health Care policy expert Christen Linke Young on December 2.

Sign up for Obamacare, and forget about the price tag!

The Speaker said he was “hopeful” that the House GOP Budget Committee chief, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), and his Democratic counterpart in the Senate, Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.), could strike a deal that could pass both chambers of Congress, but that none was yet at hand.
“Paul Ryan came in today and gave us an update on where they were,” Boehner said at his weekly Capitol press conference. “I’m hopeful that they’ll be able to work this out, but there’s clearly no agreement.”

He would not say whether or when the House would move to pass a stopgap spending bill if no agreement was reached. The House-Senate budget conference committee has a deadline of Dec. 13, but federal funding does not run out until Jan. 15.

Rep Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said he expects next Wednesday is the real deadline for the conference committee to vote on a proposal before recess.

On the farm bill, Boehner was more pessimistic and raised the possibility of needing a one-month extension of current policy into next year.

“I’ve not seen any real progress on the farm bill,” he said, “and so if we’ve got to pass a one-month extension of the farm bill, then I think we’ll be prepared to do that.”

Without an extension, milk prices could spike after Jan. 1. Boehner said that he believes an extension should cover the entire farm bill and not just the dairy program.

The Speaker was adamant that the House would not stay in session past Dec. 13 to finish work on the legislation.

“I’ve made it clear that the House is going to leave next Friday,” Boehner said. “You all know me pretty well: I say what I mean, and I mean what I say.”

In a situation like this, as in the IRS scandal where they may have targeted GOP groups, we need to start at the bottom and just follow it right to the top. You just know Christie was in on this. There's no way a low ranking official does this without the direction of the governor. Heck, the people who made the decision in this case are about a thousand times closer to the governor than that IRS clown is to Obama.

I'm sure the conservative members of the forum will agree. We MUST find out what happened and why. In the IRS case, it was just a matter of money changing hands. In this case, people could have died. I'm sure we can all agree that Christie should take the stand and possibly be impeached over this.
