ReagansZombie: It's always spelled indie!

'''Indie rock''' is [[rock music]] made by independent bands or [[people]] not involved with the mainstream record industry. Many indie bands, such as Bright Eyes and Rilo Kiley, write and perform songs that are strongly critical of the United States and George W. Bush. Bright Eye's "When the President Talks to God" offers a misguided list of blames that range from drugs to inner city poverty and places the blame on George W. Bush and the Republican Party.

ReagansZombie: Later life information.

'''Angelo R. Liteky''' was a [[Catholic]] [[Priest]] serving in [[Vietnam]] as a [[chaplain]] when he was awarded the [[Medal of Honor]] for his actions. His citation states that he carried over twenty wounded men to safety during a savage battle with Vietnamese forces. Much of the time Fr. Liteky was exposed to direct fire by enemy forces. He later left the priesthood and renounced his medal by mailing it to President Reagan.

ReagansZombie: /* SCHIP Expansion */

State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) helps states to insure low-income children that cannot get Medicaid and cannot afford private insurance. The program was created by the Republican-led Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Under Title XXI of the [[Social Security]] Act, individual states are alloted federal funds each year. This act was allocated $20 billion dollars for 10 years. An extension to the program was signed into law by President Bush and continues the program until 2009

== SCHIP Expansion ==

In 2007, newly elected majority Democrats made SCHIP expansion a priority. Two times Congress submitted expansion proposals, twice [[President Bush]] gave a veto. Democrats insisted the program move a step towards socialized medicine by increasing those children covered if their families made 350% over the poverty level. The result would be that people with private insurance would move into the government paid for SCHIP. Democrats demonized Republicans for not being for the children. <ref>http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1670210,00.html , TIME The Swift-Boating of Graeme Frost, October 10, 2007</ref> Democrats went as far as publicly bringing out 12 year old Graeme Frost as a spokesperson for the program's expansion. Freerepublic.com argued that Graeme's family didn't qualify for the program because he attends private school, lives in a neighborhood with $475,000 homes and the father purchased commercial property for $160,000.
